With a wicked grin showing on his face log starts to rant and rave. Basiclly making a rucase yet his eyes are quick and searching in and betweent the buildings with his ears percked waiting for the first volly to be heard. It still looks as if he has nothing near at hand to use as a ranged weapon though.
DM:
plan is to just drive and thats if if an opponent gets close enough I'll draw my crossbow and send a bolt into him for a sneak attack but other than that just drive
With the Huom right on top of him, Tau discards his bow into the back of the wagon and picks up his pick, swiping out at the nearest Huom while trying to urge his horse to move quicker.
[ooc: if that is too many actions, he will just get ready to attack]
Edit: Scratch that, if they are not in melee range he will just continue to fire with his bow at the nearest Huom.
Osric remains silent, targeting the nearest Huom and letting an arrow fly.
================
OOC: Can't quite tell how far away they are, but Osric's gonna keep firing arrows until they get closer, hopefully fending off as many as possible to allow the wagons to get going. When the Huom close, he'll take off after the rest of the group and switch to his lance. Dumb question: How tall are the Huom?
Nassitch’s hair bristled as the Mythar began to come within range. Looking for a target closer than the others, Nassitch released his concentration as he fired on the Mythar, aiming for a spot he had always thought would work well in the past.
OOC:
Animal Affinity prior to attack (+4 Dex), noted in earlier post. Missile fire +9 (+10 if within 30’), damage 1d4+1 +2 vs Mythar, +1 within 30’, +2d6 psionic shot, total 1d4 + 4 + 2d6.
Drawing another yard, Tau unleashes an arrow against the same target. This time the tip bites deeply into the Huom's chest and the creature staggers for a mere second, a black ichor welling up around the wound, then collapses to the ground, writhing in its last moments.
Another glittering swarm of blades swarm out from the surrounding huom, aimed at the drivers and Osric alone on his horse, but their heightened anticipation of battle pays off and few even got close.
Nassitch fires at one of the more menacing looking ones, his shot drives true but the creatures trained reflexes turn a dangerous blow into a thin streak of blood along its shoulder. The creature glares towards the first carriage, a sadistic leer on its face.
Throttling the reins and shouting like a mad-man, Uiim snaps his horses into action driving the carriage forward with a jolt. Log seeing this follows suit, and the second carriage lurches forward as well. Tau however is not so lucky as his concentration was too divided to effectively snap the horses on the wagon into full motion.
Osric fires an arrow at one of the nearer huom, taking it full in the chest it staggers but grips its kyr'drat and makes ready to charge the mounted warrior.
Those who did not act either did so out of choice, performed a non-action (yelling, etc.) or did not post anything else.
Round 2
Three larger huom, one of whom was wounded by Nassitch, shudder with an unforeseen strength and rush forward, closing the distance faster than humanly possible. One rushing Osric swings its kyr'drat in a long arc, but unable to judge its own speed mistakes the distance and fails to connect. The slightly wounded one, enraged charges the first carriage, taking the most convenient target, Kromgron, with such surprise that the blade gouges deep into the dwarfs side and he staggers back into Nassitch. The third rushes Tau, the blade so close it causes his hairs to bristle, and the pause is shattered as the blade cleaves deep into the seat next to him.
That was far too close. Tau thinks to himself. Recovering from his thirst to hurt the Huom, he grabs the reigns and hauls on the horse, urging it to get this wagon moving.
Nassitch's lips pressed tight against his teeth at the attack on his friend and protector. Nassitch drew two arrows and fired in rapid succession on the attacking Huom. He waiting until the wagon had separated from the attacker to prevent an attack back (Not incurring an AoO, if possible).
OOC: Active Powers (Animal Affinity - Dex +4, Inertial Armor +5 AC), noted in earlier posts. Missile fire +8/+8, damage 1d4+1 +2 vs Mythar, +1 within 30’, total (1d4 + 4 ) for each attack. Current AC is 25 (10 Base +5 Dex, +5 armor, +1 shield, +1 size, +3 class).
Log-a-log drives on with his carriage continuing to follow uiim as best he can glance from side to side to see if any get within 30 feet of him.
DM:
I still have my bow hidden and if some one gets close enough I'm going to sneak attack them. Thats the plan anyway. I am planning to try to sneak attack the the shocker that is in front of me if I can.
