OOC: Some quick questions: How many riders are there and how far away are they? How many infantry and how far away are they? Where is Vorian in relation to the advancing groups and in relation to the hill overlooking the camp where Anniston is located?

Questions
Glacing at the approaching forces Anniston belives there to be at least two companies of horsemen and one company of infantry. (ie a total of 300 men) Vorian is about 150 yards from the hillock when he goes down placing the opposition some 400 yards away...the infantry are perhaps 500 yards.

I plan on living forever. Or die trying.
Vorian saves
His accute awareness of danger and long hours of solitary travel warning him at the last instant, Vorian dodges some of the darts. Reflex save 16
OOC: DM, effects please. Where did they come from? Do I see anyone?
Arrwuh may have better luck with his sharp nose.
Arrwuh, please bring him back alive if you can, dead if you can't.

"Men, hold these defenses! We can repel the attackers and we have the power of the Light on our side! I'm going to help Vorian."
Anniston leaps over the make-shift defenses on top of the wall and charges down the hill toward Vorian. When he gets to the bottom he checks the status of Vorian to see if he is still in danger.

Finnian turns to Kellson when Vorian gets knocked off his horse. With a look of resignation toward the riders and a wry twist to his smile, Finnian springs to a commanding position within the ridgeline.
"We may not have invited trouble along with us, but it seems those who approach have. So let's show them that they've invited more trouble than they are prepared to deal with. Stormy seas couldn't stop us and neither will these.
"Make sure your attack lines are clear and that your cover is sturdy. As Anniston says, we've got the defenses and the Light on our side. Believe that we will prevail, and sagas will be told of us just like the ones of old that get repeated through the generations."
[sblock=OOC]Finnian is preparing to Inspire Courage among the survivors along the defenses.
Inspire Courage = +2 Morale bonus to Attack and Damage, +2 Morale bonus to Save vs. Fear to all allies who can hear the bard for as long as the bard continues to sing and for 10 rounds (Lingering Song) following the cessation of the singing.

The Hillock
For Jaroth
[sblock]No, the scene is not even close to the dream as there are no moutains or a stream present.[/sblock]
For Vorian
[sblock]To the best of his ability to determine, the blows originated from deep within the mounted party and came from several sources. As Arwuh approches the group, he bays is great pain and returns to your side and informs you that there are several weilders of spirtiual magic within the group. While you are not bleeding and have suffered no damage ou feel as if someone has taken a sledgehammer to your chest and ribs[/sblock]
Anniston leaps from the hillock and moves to assst Vorian. Before he reaches his goal, Vorian has already regained his feat with no apparent wounds.
Finnian meanwhile begins to offer words of encourament to the sailors and passengers which appears to steady their nerve agains overwheling numbers.
For the distance, the party an see the horseman fanning out to form a crescent. Horse Archers move to the front of the group. When in position perhaps 250 yards from the hillock. a group of horsemen some 25 in number start to slowly ride towads the party's position. The infantry move to within 75 yards and wait.

Bertrand
Bertrand confers with Rendee making some plans for the archers. Rendee lends his magical aid to Bertrand once more. Bertrand speaks words of encouragement to the men around him though it lacks the power of the Bardic voice, perhaps it will help them survive this day. He ends with, "Take all the cover you can if the arrows start to fall. This could be a long fight, there will be plenty of time for heroics when the enemy closes." Bertrand redies his own bow.

Jaroth
Standing on the hillock, Jaroth mentally prepares to call on his magic to bring an ice storm down on the 25 horsemen should they choose to attack.
[ooc: Jaroth will cast the spell as soon as the horsemen move to attack)
He calls out to Finnian and the others, not so loudly that the horsemen 250 yards away can hear, "I will attempt to delay the horsemen clustered in that group. Perhaps others of you can waylay those archers? Anything I do on that front will likewise affect our archers."
