Osric will steer Seamus across the front line of the attackers, hoping to draw them off long enough to give the wagons a little extra distance. While doing this, he's going switch weapons, pulling out his lance. (If he can line up a charge for the next round, he'll do so; otherwise he'll turn to follow the wagons.)

OOC:
I'm assuming people's actions since very few people have posted recently. My future advice for myself and players, when in doubt, post.
Tau spurs his horses into action to catch up with the leading carriages, thankfully putting one raging warrior behind him and bearing down on the last one before he clears the treeline. However, before Osric can catch up with the carriages the huom warriors rush in, hoping to surround him, their kyr'drats swinging in from all directions and three nearly catch him, one resounding heavily through his armor.
OOC:
Osric only:
18 vitality damage, DR accounted for
As Log passes the lead raging huom, he draws a tiny crossbow from concealment and fires it at the shocker. The creature is taken completely by surprise, the tiny bolt leaving a thin line of blood across the side of its neck.
OOC:
Log only:
dealt 16 vitality damage
And the carriage barrels on past the stunned huom.
Nassitch pulls Kromgron out of the way, firing two shots at the shocker that had struck at his friend. The first shot is uncanny, embedding itself deep into the creatures torso, it staggers for a second, blood oozing around the wound. However, Nassitch misjudges the speed of the carriage and the second arrow flies wide, thudding into the side of one of the shacks.
OOC:
Nassitch only:
Crit dealt 7 wound damage
Uiim keeps the first carriage at a high pace, hoping to trail the Mythar in a chase.
Layonarai seeing an opportunity fires a single arrow at the wounded shocker, however the chain shirt which it wears seems to deflect the blow.
OOC:
Layonarai only:
dealt 1 vitality damage
Kromgron gives a hefty roar at Nassitch's keen shot, although the exhalation causes his body to ache with pain.
Osric, almost surrounded by the huom warriors spurs Seamus forwards into one of the huom knocking the creature out of the way before it gets a chance to raise it's kyr'drat in defense. However, one of the huom on the side clips his flank as he flees. Ducking his head under the kyr'drat of the middle shocker as he charges past, he bears his lance down upon the wounded shocker, driving it clear through the creatures unsuspecting back, he yanks the lance free with his momentum as it collapses.
OOC:
Osric only:
Overrun succeeded, takes another 6 vitality damage, now at 26 vp, charge crit on the wounded shocker 17 wound damage, killed it.
Round 2 Summary
Uiim's Carriage is about 60 feet past the trees in the map, Log's is about 40 feet past the trees, and the wagon that Tau is driving is just clearing the trees. Osric is where the last shocker was. Huom warriors are milling about back where Osric was. Shockers are where they were.
Round 3
The two remaining shockers are clearly steamed by the killing of one of their own and they charge Osric, weapons flying high and low to cleave the poor horseman. However, his blood pounding in his ears, his reflexes on edge, he watches them both sail in, deflecting one casually with his lance, he ducks under the second one and breathes a sigh of relief as not a drop of blood is drawn.
However, his heart thuds again as he sees a huom, as large as his horse, the Battlemaster emerge from behind one of the shacks and charges. The massive huom's kyr'drat comes clean in, the precision of a trained warrior, and would have knocked him from the saddle if he hadn't pressed his body against Seamus' neck, but the blade still rattles his body as it bounces off his armor.
OOC:
Osric only:
15 vitality damage, down to 11vp
Actions! Ashy & Keia, Need Statblocks for Uiim & Nassitch respectively
Tau watches in horror as the Huom surround Osric behind him. As he reaches the edge of the trees he reigns in his horse and turns to fire his bow at which ever Mythar is most likely to prevent Osric from continuing his flight. Hopefully his aim will give them enough pause for Osric to escape their clutches.
*Kromgron grits his teeth against the pain in his side, and reaches over to grab a white rod of crystal from his belt pouch. He can't see the enemy yet, but when he does, he's going to let them have it right in the teeth!*
With his bolt spent he rides fast and hard trying to load his crossbow as soon as he can always looking for a target to clear so that others can get away or that he can get through.
*Nassitch fired a couple of shots at the huoms hounding Osric. He kept an eye on Kimble, warning him to stay put.*
"You okay, Kromgron?" Nassitch asked.
