--Round 6 (cont)--
Manzanita (autopilot) maintains her position at the crest of the hill, using the sloping ground as cover. Her fingers hold an arrow, nocked and drawn, while her sensitive elven eyes search the mists, waiting for an opponent to appear.
The half-orc in scalemail calls out "They’re everywhere!" He reaches out and grabs the saddle of his horse, swinging himself up onto his mount. “Attack!” His horse flashes a hoof out at Dunathar, connecting. Dunathar grunts in pain, but manages to maintain his footing. The half-orc growls as he manages to control his mount and swing his great axe in a wide arc at Dunathar. Dunathar sees the axe and ducks under it. [5 damage. Dunathar is at 3 hp]
A human in studded leather appears at the edge of the mist, near the location Filbert and the others went in. Manzanita sees a shadow appear at the edge of the mist, and waits to see who it is. The swirling mists separate for a moment, and the human’s face is revealed. Seeing her opponent, Manzanita lets fly her arrow! Her enemy is easily within range of her new composite longbow. Her arrow flies across the field and pierces through the human’s armor, hitting with a satisfying thud. The human falls to the ground.
The other human in studded leather appears next to Mirena. His sword slashes out, but misses.
—Round 7--
Dunathar steps away from the half-orc in studded leather, but as he does so, is surprised to see another opponent in the mist, the human in scale mail! Dunathar spins, attacking the half-orc in scale mail. He thrusts upwards with his blade, but misses.
Devan draws his sword and enters the mist. Following the sounds of combat, he finds Mirena facing a human in studded leather. He stabs his sword at the human, piercing deep into his flesh. The human gasps in pain and falls.
Filbert sees the half-orc step away into the mists and follows, stepping through the mists to stand next to Dunathar. Filbert stabs up with his dagger. Inspired by Rowyn’s song, he is just barely able to slip his blade past the half-orc’s defenses, sliding the blade into his side. The half-orc looks down at the little halfling, stunned at Filbert’s stab. The half-orc’s eyes close as he falls, slamming into the ground.
Mirena raises her longsword, ready to strike the first opponent appearing through the mist.
A half-orc in studded leather rides through the mist, appearing in front of Devan and Mirena. As he appears, Mirena attacks, slicing upwards with her sword, catching the rider off-guard. The half-orc turns his attacks on Mirena. The horse rears up, its hoof slamming her in the chest. The wind is knocked out of her, but Mirena remains standing. The half-orc tries to maintain his balance enough to swing his axe at Mirena, but is unable to.
A half-orc in studded leather (the one who was flanking Dunathar) spurs his mount forward. He sees a small halfling in front of him! The half-orc gives out a battle cry and rears his horse up for a full attack. The first hoof connects solidly, striking across Filbert’s head [8 damage], but the second hoof and the bite miss. The half-orc controls his mount and manages to swing his axe, but also misses.
Rowyn steps through the mist next to Dunathar. She no longer sees the half-orc in scale mail, but it looks like his horse is here, riderless! More importantly, there is a new opponent in front of her, the human in scale mail, wielding a morningstar, mounted on a horse. Rowyn prepares to cast Dancing Lights on the human. Seeing that she will provoke AoOs from both rider and horse, she casts defensively, although she is not especially well trained in doing so. Focusing her concentration, she succeeds in her casting! Four lights surround the half-orcs head, but the human’s reflexes are good, and he manages to duck out of the way of the lights targeting his eyes, the ones that would have blinded him. Nonetheless, the lights seem to unbalance the half-orc.
Sabala hears Rowyn’s command to Attack, and leaps up at the only opponent she sees, the human in scale mail. She hits, her teeth biting deeply into the human’s arm. Shaking her head fiercely, Sabala pulls the human from his horse, and he hits the ground. He looks badly injured but still conscious.
Alyssa (autopilot) steps around Rowyn and Sabala, she comes upon a morningstar-wielding human, lying prone on the ground next to his horse, with Sabala growling fiercely at him. Alyssa raises her longsword above her head, striking downwards at the fallen human. She connects, injuring the human badly. His body jerks and lies still.
Zanock shakes his head and opens his eyes. He is lying on the ground. His shoulder hurts, as if he fell on it, but its not too bad. His horse Meat is next to him. So are Filbert and Dunathar, who are fighting someone just out of sight. He also sees Mirena, fighting as well. All three of his allies look injured.

Dunathar:
Filbert is to your left and Rowyn to your right. A mounted half-orc is facing you and Filbert on your left, and you just saw the human in scale mail fall off his horse, disappearing into the mist. You see Zanock move behind you, shaking his head.
You see Zanock shake his head behind you. He is starting to get up. Dunathar is next to you. One half-orc, in studded leather is in front of you, mounted on a light warhorse, a bloodthirsty gleam in his eye. There are three riderless warhorses around you.
You see Zanock shake his head and start to get up behind you. Dunathar is to your left, with Sabala on your right.

You see Mirena standing next to you. You are facing a half-orc in studded leather, mounted on a fighting warhorse. The half-orc is directing his attacks at Mirena, who is already injured.
You are standing next to Sabala, with the human you just dispatched in front of you.

Dunathar could feel the wetness of his blood as it poured like a small stream down the side of his head. While he had managed to stand defiantly after the strike, Dunathar knew that he could not take another blow from those iron shod hooves.
Preparing to take his chances in the mists, Dunathar paused when the small form of Rowyn appeared at his side and stood beside him as a shield brother would have done.
Nodding grimly, Dunathar knew that once more one of his companions needed his strength to see them through this day and wondered what would his clan think of him now if they were to see him. Would they finally see him worthy of their respect, or would he always be nameless in their eyes?
Pushing those thoughts away, Dunathar fixed his eyes on the rider's leg and raced towards him with his sword at the ready.
OOC: Attack rider to keep Rowyn safe for as long as he can. Definately going to add a melee lvl in if I make it..

A little stunned himself, Filbert stares for a moment at the warrior he took down. Brought back to reality by a hoof on his skull, Filbert takes a step back and retreats into the mist. He call upon the power of Fharlanghn, channeling positive energy into his wounded body.

Rowyn nods back to Dunathar just as grimly. Dweller on the Horizon, protect us! This little I can do may not be enough, she thinks as she continues to sing. She will attack the half-orc if necessary. If not, she will change her action to attack any other threatening enemy she sees. [Both Rowyn and I have kind of lost track of the fight, sorry about that.]

--Round 6 (cont)--
Zanock (autopilot) comes to his senses, and sees several of his companions fighting nearby. Rising up from the ground, he moves through the mist, stepping next to Mirena. Seeing a mounted half-orc swinging his axe, Zanock reacts swiftly, striking out with his falchion. The falchion connects solidly, the force of the blow literally lifting the half-orc off his saddle. He topples onto the ground. [Picked Mirena to help randomly. Dealt 15 damage with the falchion].
Manzanita smiles grimly and nocks another arrow on her bow.
--Round 7--
Dunathar looks up at the half-orc, who with his fighting mount is clearly more than a match for him. But seeing Rowyn and Filbert in danger, Dunathar steels himself against the pain of his wound, determined to fight on. Seeing an opening at the half-orc’s leg, the dwarf darts in with his blade, but the half-orc reacts quickly, parrying the blow.
Devan (autopilot) sees a falchion swing through the mist, and the half-orc in front of him fall. There’s only one falchion on the battlefield, he thinks. Zanock must be nearby. Hearing the sounds of combat in the distance, Devan heads towards it. Weaving around Mirena, Zanock and Filbert, Devan steps up to another mounted half-orc. His blade flashes out, stabbing the half-orc in the belly. The half-orc is pushed backwards from the force of the blow, falling out of his saddle. [8 damage from the shortsword]
The mists swirl around. Among the sounds of footsteps and horses, its not clear where the next enemy will be coming from. The companions move cautiously through the mist, holding their weapons ready.
Rowyn comes upon Adromon’s dead body and gasps involuntarily.
After a few rounds the party realizes that all the opponents have been dispatched. The the mists clear from the battlefield. Carnage is all around. Filbert goes over to Adromon’s body to pay his last respects. But as he looks upon his corpse, Filbert begins to feel that Adromon’s spirit had not yet traveled on to the next world. Yes, his spirit was still in his body! Adromon was still alive, but severely injured and unconscious.

OOC: I hope everyone's character sheets are updated
By the time the party figures out that there are no more enemies standing, all of the horsemen have passed on to the next world. Turning your attention to the bodies, you see:
Two humans with studded leather. Both have good quality (masterwork) longswords, daggers, composite longbows, and quivers (total 34 arrows).
Three half-orcs with studded leather. They have battleaxes, composite longbows, and quivers (total 51 arrows)
Half-orc in scale mail: Masterwork scale mail, masterwork greataxe, silvered dagger, mighty composite longbow (+2), quiver of 17 arrows, vial with 'cure light' written on it.
Human in robes: Silvered dagger, masterwork light crossbow, case with 10 bolts, two leather bags with 'tanglefoot' written on them, two vials with 'acid' written on them. The robes are of a fine dark grey wool, and are of excellent quality (masterwork), with many hidden pouches, containing many pinches of sand (in the colors red, yellow and blue) and a small wooden replica of an archery target. There is also a book bound in red leather
Human in scale mail: Masterwork scale mail, masterwork large steel shield, masterwork morningstar, light crossbow, case with 9 bolts, a wand, a leather scroll case, and a bone scroll case. Both the scale mail and shield are laquered a deep red color. The wand is made of hickory, and has a sun face carved in the middle of it. At the fat end is written 'cure light' in a strange yellow ink. On the skinny end is written ' "Havalos" '. The bone scroll case is carved with bodies writhing in agony, and has an unbroken red wax seal over the opening. The seal shows a fist holding six red arrows
All bodies have standard gear including backpacks, cloaks, rations, waterskins, etc.
In their purses is a total of: 178 silver, 67 gold.
There are also eight light warhorses. All have bit and bridle, saddle, and saddle bags. Three of the horses have military saddles. One of the horses (with a military saddle) has a small iron-bound wooden box strapped just behind the saddle. The box is heavy (55-60 lbs), and is carved with waving lines that look sort of like grass, or hair, blowing in the wind. It has an intricate-looking lock.
The saddlebags also include rations, water, and blankets.
You also find a few empty vials and blank pieces of paper lying around.
