Alicia’s attack rolled 18+8+2=AC 28, hit.  Damage rolled 11+13=24.  Man had 22, fails a Fortitude check badly and is dead.]The 6 people on horseback ride towards the cart quickly, then slow down a bit, two men aiming crossbows at Alicia and firing, one bolt hitting her firmly in the stomach.  But the man with the long sword yells “We have to get them to safety first!”  He spurs his horse into running past the cart, and it looks like the two others plan to follow him.  Alicia does notice something familiar about three of the riders, though; the women, one on each horse, are Miri, Jelenneth, and Missandra, the three whores who had gone missing from Madame Brie’s.  Alicia hasn’t seen Missandra for quite some time, but the half-ogre remembers the city guard took the other two away the day before.[Alicia takes 5 poiints of damage from the crossbow bolt.]The cart Alicia is riding on is slowing down a bit, the horses pulling it probably less motivated than usual with no driver and all the extra weight.[I can map if you want, but after the one volley of Xbow bolts, they seem to be moving past.  If Alicia wouldn’t force a confrontation with them, there’s no reason to map.  If she would… the two horses with Xbow men are about 30 feet away from her, to the side of the cart, the other horse is 40 feet behind the cart, towards the training school, and the cart Alicia’s on is moving 20 feet per round.][Oh, and the first armed man was a third level fighter, the handsome guy was 4th level, and the robed guys were 4th level monks.  I think it’s time we talk about whether the level adjustment for half-ogre shouldn’t be more than a +1][Characters by initiative, damage:Alicia, HPs: 21/26Three men on horseback, unhurtMiri, unhurtMissandara, unhurt,Jelenneth, unhurtOne robed man, dyingOther robed man, deadMan with gleaming longsword, disabledGirdra, unhurtArmed man, disabled][At the Boone fight, It’s T’aria and Aligor’s initiative… Fangor asked me for a ruling OOC, but mentioned being on vacation and hasn’t posted since then.  I’ll wait another day or so to give him a chance to post, then I’ll NPC him.  Hate to NPC him in such a life-or-death situation, though.]</blockquote>
