The Ambush
Having received their final orders the squad or operatives comes together and prepares to excute their final orders. Setting fire to the tents and euipment in the immediate vincity they mount up and head away from the oncoming orcs etc towards the southwest and the Lord Marshal. Forming up into a riding colume the group sets out in flight along with the rest of the surviors of the once proud regiment. Traveling for about 250 yards the party begins to recive arrow fire from both flanks. It appears as if the advanced troops of the flying columes to the left and right are finally making an appereace thus closing the well planned ambush.
Initative please and actions.

Nijel Bladesong
OOC: Remembering his Tactics 101 from Basic Training, Nijel wheels to the RIGHT and charges directly into the ambushing foes, seeking the fastest possible exit from the kill zone of the ambush. Nijel will close as rapidly as he can, while listening carefully for any different orders from the rear of his group. (The last thing NIjel wants is to wind up all by himself in the middle of a band of orcs and ogres!) Nijel also stows his bow and readies his battleaxe.
NIjel's initiative: 11 http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1341807

I'm reading correctly that the archers are flying, correct?
Roak growls in frustration as the arrows begin to rain down; the warrior had never liked archers. Maybe it was because he himself had little skill with the bow, but it had translated into a dislike of those that had chosen the path of archery.
"Sombody take out those archers," shouts Roak, holding his greatsword defensively to ward off any incoming arrows. He spurs his mount on, angling toward the nearest enemy.
Initiative: 15 (Make that a 17 with Padraig's aura).
Total Defense +6 AC (5 ranks tumble), bringing AC to 29

Initiative 12
Padraig wheels to the right and follows Nijel on his attempted escape from the killing field. Close in on the enemy! Make them shoot into their own ranks! If any likely targets present themselves, he breathes fire at them (15' cone, so he'd have to get pretty close.)

Alban
Alban is slow to realize they are under attack. Once he realizes what is happening, he turns his own mount and sets spur to flank as he joins the Paladin in going toward the archers. He slips a javelin from his quiver and gets ready to let fly when the range is right.
OOC: Initiative (1d20+1=2)

Ewan moves up to lead the contingent of officers and special operatives trusting his other scouts to keep the rest of the column screened and warned.
When the ambush is sprung, a short but heartfelt curse escapes his lips before he responds to the threat. Bringing Messenger up from its carry position, Ewan sights to his right for an enemy to send his message to. As the paladin wheels to charge the northern ambushers, Ewan whistles the signal to his scouts to break north (right).
[sblock=OOC]Initiative = 22
AC 16
If Ewan can find a target, he will let the arrow fly.
Attack with Mounted Penalty = 17
Damage form arrow = 11 (13 if target of giant type)

Katherine
[sblock=Initiative Roll]1d20+4=16[/sblock]
Katherine knees Caoimhe to the right, following closely behind the rest of her group. She pulls out her shortbow as she rides.
I'd like to get 'round behind them, but it doesn't look like that's gonna happen here. Might as well charge with the rest!

I plan on living forever. Or die trying.
Andor
Initiative 1d20 +3 = 11
Andor takes out his crossbow and spurs his gelding with others. He shortly touches his necklace calling upon the power of prayer beads (Bless). He will try to be within 50' from all allies so they can all benefit. Concentration roll for riding = 26 Then he loads his crossbow and shoots at whatever comes nearest.
Bless fills your allies with courage. Each ally gains a +1 morale bonus on attack rolls and on saving throws against fear effects.
Bless counters and dispels bane.
