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:  [spoiler]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.[/spoiler]Filbert:  [spoiler]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.[/spoiler]Rowyn:  [spoiler]You see Zanock shake his head and start to get up behind you.  Dunathar is to your left, with Sabala on your right.  The human in scale mail in front of you was just pulled from his horse by Sabala, and you see a blade slashing out to finish the human off, though you can’t see the wielder in the mist.[/spoiler]Devan:  [spoiler]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.[/spoiler]Alyssa:  [spoiler]You are standing next to Sabala, with the human you just dispatched in front of you.[/spoiler]InitiativeDunatharDevanFilbertHalf-orcs in studded leather (there were

through the thread and just saw your edited note about the Stand Still feat.  Sorry I missed it earlier.  Adromon probably would have stopped the horse, but let’s figure the horse would have attacked him anyway, since it was already threatening him.]</blockquote>
