The arrows strike with deadly accuracy, the lead beast remains standing, pausing momentarily from the pain falling slightly behind as the others press forward, trail of blood behind as he presses on. As they come upon Palkr at the edge of the Firelight, in unison they let out a tremendous roar. In the cart, Inguar’s eyes grow wide in terror and he remains frozen in place. Ahead, Raomohr begins running, screaming from the fiends. Palkr looks unstartled, but as he looks back at everyone’s positions, he falls back some, pulling Odywyn to his feet as he passes.
{Will Save from everyone, tiered as follows:
14 + : Startling, but no hindrance
9-13: Shaken for one round
4-8: Shaken for 3 rounds (1d3+1)
1-3: Frightened, character runs full speed in the opposite direction for 4 rounds (1d6+1).
This is versus fear, so Odywyn is giving you a +1 bonus. Poor Raomohr got a 1.}
The Hiisi are 30-35’ from the fire, 50-55’ from the cart. Palkr and Odywyn are just past the fire on the cart side of the camp. Raomohr has passed the cart.

Sheng's resolve seems to be drained as the beasts scream loudly. However, seen as the creatures are vulnerable, and bleed, seems to reinforce his will.
Will: 10, shaken for one round.

As Raomohr passed the cart, Tekai realised why he was running. Two arrows in the thing and it still comes to fight?! We would do well to follow Raomohr!
Still, Sheng did not run, though a glance at his face suggested to Tekai that he might have thought about it. And Inguar was still here... Palms slippery with sweat despite the pre-dawn chill, he tried to keep a steady aim at the Hiisi in front, to bring at least one down before they got to the cart... His arrow fingers fumbled though, and he the weight of Arfan on his wrist seemed almost unbearable such was the muscle shivering.
[Sblock=ooc]gGot a 7. http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4569503/ Shaken for 3 rounds, damn. [/Sblock]

Monsters were coming. Inexplicably though, Niraya felt her fear...well not disappear, definitely. But it changed. Maybe she'd been afraid of her own people so long that monsters didn't have the kind of power they might have. Or maybe it was because she'd already seen worse...already BEEN worse. Or maybe she was just tired of being scared all the time.
Regardless, seeing these creatures coming didn't send her cringing away. It just made her want to fight them. To kill them, so they couldn't hurt these few people who actually accepted her.
She spoke a word; a name...and then another. She called forth the Things that had tormented her. They were only curses while she tried to deny them...now they were her strength. An emerald serpent that twined around her arm; its gaze burned. A powerfully muscled mastiff with fur a riot of gold and lavender, that glowed in the dark like a candle flame.
(OOC - summoning a Celestial Dog, with the Augmented stat set. The snake is just flavor for her Acid Splash cantrip which she shall be using liberally.
)

Palkr and Odywyn continued running toward the cart, Palkr shoving Odywyn onward as he stops a few feet away in the snow, turning, blade ready, while Odywyn turns waving his hand to the snow in front of him. Seerah seeing much of the cart almost frozen before the charging beasts begins an incantation as they approach. In their full speed charge, one crashes unconscious into the snow. Two of them stop when they reach Palkr, who manages to strike one with his sword. The other three continue past him, two of them reaching the cart attempting to climb in, the wounded one focused on Tekai, a second seems to have targeted Inguar, who fumbles with his bow, dropping it, resulting in a minor crack, but seems to be regaining his resolve. On the ground, the last one is focused on Odywyn, a vicious arc of electricity emerging from the snow beneath him. In the background, the sound of Raomohr's flight can still be heard.
[sblock=Current effects on the field![:]](http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png "Devious :]")

Niraya scoots back in alarm as one starts to clamber up into the wagon, and waves her hand at it. "Kill it!" she urges the thing on her arm...and its eyes light up with strange eldritch light. Where that light falls, wood bubbles and boils, as does the flesh of whatever it touches...
Meanwhile the dog barks furiously, snarls, then jumps up to snap at one of the ones climbing into the cart!
(OOC - Say the dog is attacking the one on Tekai.
Celestial Dog: AC 13, HP 8, SR 5, Resist Cold, Acid, Electricity 5, [roll0] to hit for [roll1] damage.
Acid Splash: [roll2] ranged touch for [roll3] acid damage.
Hehe. I need to raise her Str a bit or something so she can hit with that spear she's got. )

Sheng takes his opportunity to slash at the creature as they get near him. "Come face me fiends! I fear none of you!"
Readied action (I assume some of the hiisi have come close to Sheng since they are trying to climb up the cart. Actually, they would have to go over Sheng to do so, since he is guarding the cart): 22-2= 20 to hit, 9 damage

Between Niraya’s Acid Splash and her pets attack, the Hiisi targeting Tekai falls into a heap in the snow. Sheng’s attack on the other has earned its attention.
(Being an AOO Sheng gets an additional attack and Tekai has an action.)
