--Round 1 (cont)--
Filbert readies his crossbow, peeking his head up over the grass to get a better look. He murmurs to Rowyn "Who started this ? I hope Dunathar didn't do anything foolish ... Do you have any ideas on what we should do ?"
The half-orcs in studded leather shout “We’ll take the dwarf!” They move to surround Dunathar with their horses, then dismount. They circle Dunathar at fifteen to twenty feet, brandishing their axes, preparing to charge the dwarf on foot.
Rowyn, hearing the sounds and shouts, wonders who called the ambush. She keeps herself and Sabala crouched and concealed, hoping not to be drawn into combat.
Alyssa (autopilot) draws her bow as she moves forward to stand by Devan. Sighting one of the half-orcs surrounding Dunathar, she fires, but misses.
The human in robes is down.
Adromon looks around for Rowyn, hoping she will find a diplomatic solution to this crisis. He can’t see her. Turning his attention back to the battle, he sees that one of the half-orcs who had moved forward to surround Dunathar was now within striking distance if he charged. But the half-orc had dismounted, leaving his horse in a position to protect himself from a charge (and give him cover from missiles). Adromon takes a double move down the hill, placing himself just outside glaive reach of two of the half-orcs.

--Round 1 (cont)--
Zanock (autopilot) charges into battle, spurring Meat towards one of the half-orcs surrounding Dunathar. Swinging his falchion two-handed, Zanock connects, separating the orc’s head from the rest of his body.
Manzanita reaches into her pouch for some spell components as she moves forward until she can see over the crest of the hill. She sees that the two remaining half-orcs surrounding Dunathar are too spread out to target effectively without affecting her companions. She casts her spell instead on the remaining four (two humans in studded leather, half-orc in scale mail, human in scale mail). The two humans in studded leather and the half-orc fall off their horses, asleep. As they hit the ground, Manzanita sees there are arrows sticking out of both of the human’s backs.
The half-orc in scalemail and both humans in studded leather are down.
The human in scale mail speaks magical words. Mists surround the human, spreading out and obscuring the battle area. All of the horsemen are now concealed, except for one half-orc in studded leather, just outside of Adromon’s glaive range. Dunathar and Zanock are also now covered by the mist.
Mirena readies her crossbow and moves next to Manzanita. She targets the half-orc remaining outside the mist, but misses.

Manzanita frowns. "Ware! There may be more archers on the other side of the hill!"
If possible, Manzanita will stay concealed and move up the hill to where she could look over it. She assumes the arrows came from behind the enemy. If movement in that direction cannot be done with concealment, she will simply move away from Mirena & Rowyn, since they could become targets. She will have her long composite bow ready.

Adromon stays 15ft away from the half-orc that remains outside of the mist and readies his glaive.
"C'mon half breed, show me your mettle."

--Round 2--
Dunathar (autopilot) Takes a double move out of the mist.
Devan sees that all of his targets are now hidden inside the mist, except for one half-orc. It’s one of the half-orcs who had surrounded Dunathar. Devan releases his arrow, which just misses the orc by the breadth of a finger!
Filbert starts to move forward towards the mist, keeping his head low under the tall grass and trying not to disturb the grass too much. Not sure how to command Braveheart to follow while crouching low, he tells the dog to “Stay” instead. Braveheart obeys.
The exposed half-orc in studded leather sees that he’s the only one outside of the mist. Calling his horse, he moves inside of the mist, where you quickly lose sight of him.
Rowyn continues to sing. She hears Filbert tell Braveheart to “Stay”, but doesn’t hear anything else.
