Storms of Change, Part 2

[OOC: Seeing as how the half-orc fled into the mist, I'm assuming I can change my action for my turn.]
Adromon isn't happy with the situation. The mist provides too much concealment to make use of his glaive at the range the weapon requires. Instead, he draws his longsword and large steel shield and slowly enters the mist, hoping to get lucky and find one of his enemies.

Adromon moves into the mists and listens for the sounds of his opponents. He knows that most of them should be asleep. He hears several horses neighing and stamping their feet. And he hears the sounds of one person moving about in metal armor, near the position he last saw the human in scale mail. He doesn't hear anyone else.
 

--Round 2 (cont)--

Alyssa Moonshadow (autopilot) readies an arrow for the first opponent who comes in sight.

Adromon moves into the mists, searching for his opponents. He hears sounds near where he last saw the human in scale mail, and moves forward. A horse appears in front of him, neighing wildly but not attacking. Following the sounds, Adromon moves around the horse, and comes upon the human in scale mail. Adromon swings his longsword, but the mists play tricks with his eyes, and his sword hits only air! The human wheels around to face Adromon, wielding his morningstar menacingly.

OOC: continuing on...

--Round 2 (cont)--

Zanock (autopilot) hears scuffling nearby and urges his horse towards it. Rounding a neighing riderless horse, he comes upon the white-haired human, Adromon, shadow-fighting in the mists. Realizing there is an opponent just beyond, hidden in the mists, Zanock raises his falchion and urges his horse Meat around Adromon. He comes upon the human in scale mail and attacks, swinging his falchion down from above. Zanock sees through the mists and sights the human clearly, but his swing just misses.

Manzanita Sparrow says "Ware! There may be more archers on the other side of the hill!" She moves over the sloping hill, keeping low to the ground and hopefully out of sight. She scans the area, her elven eyes piercing through the areas of shadow and concealment. Far off in the distance (over 500 feet), on the crest of a low hill like the one she is on, she glimpses some movement for just a fraction of a second. Cloud shadows moving over the land? The foliage shifting in the wind? A harmless animal? She can’t tell. She searches the area with her eyes, her composite longbow resting in her left hand.

The human in scalemail is shaken, having just barely escaped cuts from Adromon and Zanock. He steps backwards into the mists and out of sight. Hidden in the mists, he utters some strange, non-sensical words. [Which only Adromon and Zanock can hear.]

Mirena continues holding her shot, waiting for a target.

Rowyn, hearing Manzanita's call, will attempt to edge around the mists to where the archers might be. She continues to sing, and commands Sabala to follow.
 

Manzanita Sparrow

Seeing Rowyn coming up behind her, Manzanita says "There were arrows in the backs of some of the humans & half orc. I can only assume there is a third party in the area. I thought I saw something on that hill over there, but archers would necessarily be closer than that."
 

Devan takes a deep breath and scans the area. Since all the enemies are in the fog he will hold his action til an enemy appears. When he sees one he will shoot um up! :)
 

Moving from the mists, Dunathar will try to slowly move around trying to see if he can get a jump on anyone who may be following him from the mists.
 

Filbert

OOC: Does Filbert see the mist ? I'm assuming it is so.

Filbert stays where he is, ready to heal any friends or shoot any foes.
 

--Round 3--

Dunathar Without Name circles around the perimeter of the mist, readying his short sword to attack anyone coming out.

Devan Torington stays where he is, standing ready with an arrow nocked and drawn. He waits for an opponent to appear.

Filbert Wateryfoot sees Dunathar standing in front of a large cloud of obscuring mist, 60 feet wide and 20 feet high, standing ready with shortsword drawn. Behind and to the left is Devan, Alyssa and Mirena, at the crest of the hill, with arrows and bolts trained downward at the mist and ready. Filbert stops 20 feet from the mist, with his crossbow ready.

There are footsteps and other strange shuffling noises in the mist. What could those sounds be? Maybe… are those the sounds of people waking other people up, while trying to remain quiet?

Rowyn E. D. D. Scheppen III starts making her way towards Manzanita, who is quite far off. She makes it to near Devan, Alyssa and Mirena. Manzanita is still several dozen feet away, higher up the hill.

Alyssa holds her shot, waiting.
