Filbert replies softly to Devan. "Sure ... I..I c..can do that. But b..by the horizon, k..keep your voice down."
Silently (OOC: move silently +1), Filbert moves deeper into the mist and Devan loses sight of him.
OOC: If, like Dunathar, Filbert heard the sound of steel going into flesh, he'll go in that direction. Otherwise, he'll just move strait ahead. Also, I wonder if Braveheart is with him ... I kind of forgot about the dog for a few rounds.
Dunathar springs, his body a compact blur as he emerges from the swirling mists, his shortsword streaking unerringly towards a weak spot in the half-orc’s armor. The blade sinks deeply, and Dunathar angles the blade to hurt the half-orc more. The half-orc howls in shock and rage as blood spurts from the wound. [11 damage, the half-orc is barely on his feet.]
Devan says "Filbert, the others might be hurt can you help them. I'm going to wait for the riders." Devan steps back out of the mists, putting his shortsword away and drawing his bow. He takes a position thirty feet back.
Mirena gulps and watches Devan depart. She looks at Filbert, seeing what he will do. [Delay]
Filbert gathers up his courage and heads into the mist, following the voice that said he had just killed someone. The voice was maybe a couple dozen feet away, it was hard to tell. Filbert heads in the general direction. Moving silently through the mists, Filbert comes upon a half-orc in scale mail, wielding a great axe two-handed, standing over the body of Zanock! The half-orc hears Filbert, and spins around. On one side is a riderless horse. It looks like it might be Zanock’s. Filbert realizes he must act, and stabs out with his dagger, but misses.
Filbert and Devan do not see each other, but they sense from the way the half-orc is moving that he is flanked.
Braveheart remains in the tall grass to the southeast, where Filbert had him go down and stay concealed while Filbert snuck forward.
Mirena follows Filbert into the mists. Going slightly off track, she ends up behind Filbert. Seeing Filbert is in combat, she quickly steps by his side. She sees the half-orc and swings out with her longsword, but misses.
One of the half-orcs in studded leather appears behind Dunathar, flanking opposite the half-orc in scalemail. “The dwarf is here! Die dwarf! You will not take me!” The half-orc spurs his horse to attack, and it rears up, making a full attack! A hoof swings out into the air next to Dunathar, as if the horse was confused by the mist. The next hoof shoots straight at his head, but Dunathar manages to duck it. Then the horse’s head snaps forward, biting, but Dunathar sidesteps that at the last moment. The half-orc attempts to swing his axe, but he has trouble keeping his balance on the horse, and is unable to attack.
Rowyn continues to sing and advance, Sabala by her side. Heading into the mist, she finds herself behind Filbert.
Alyssa (autopilot) follows the others, stepping around Rowyn and ending on the other side of Filbert, facing the half-orc in scale-mail. She swings her sword, but the half-orc twists away from the cut.
Adromon and Zanock remain unconscious.
Dunathar:
Dunathar is almost completely surrounded by opponents or horses. A half-orc on foot and a mounted half-orc on an attacking horse are flanking him. Three other horses, who aren't attacking, surround him. There is only one unoccupied spot, to the half-orc in scalemail's side.
Filbert, Rowyn, and Alyssa:
Filbert has Mirena on his left and Alyssa on his right. In front of him is Zanock lying on the ground, with an axe-wielding half-orc standing over him. To the left is Zanock's horse. Rowyn is behind Alyssa, with Sabala to her right.

If she can, Rowyn will shoot her light crossbow at the half-orc, and order Sabala to attack. If she can't easily attack, and the orc is still up, she will cast dancing lights around the half-orc's head (CL1, DC14). If the orc is down, she will grab a potion of cure light from her pack.
Seeing his only option was to go through the wounded man in front of him, Dunathar races towards the wounded man in front of him trying to finish him off before trying to escape once more into the mists.
"If ye blades seek to quinch their thirst with my blood, I'm not to be making it easy for them."
OOC: 5' step to the man's right, then attack. Hopefully, this will place him out of flanking and not draw any AoOs.
Zanock will be coming back to consciousness next round (round 7) on the human in robes' initiative. Assuming nothing bad happens between now and then, Zanock will be able to act that round. Zanock has 3 damage, from when the Color Spray knocked him unconscious and he fell of the horse.
Except for some variations in color, smell, and overall swirliness (?), the mist is very similar to the mists provided to Filbert by his god, Fharlanghn. Visibility is limited to 5 feet. Creatures and objects 5 feet away have one-half concealment. Creatures and objects over 5 feet away have total concealment (invisible, for all intents and purposes). Firing missile weapons while inside the mist is somewhat risky.

OOC: Well, the note was really about firing missiles while inside the mist. To see an opponent, you'll need to be within 5', provoking an AoO from opponents who threaten you. No AoOs if you're outside the mist, thirty feet back holding a readied shot. Of course, its up to you either way.
