Morrison closes on the guard closing the door, he is now out of reach from the archer located on top.
He surges on the guard who notices him too late as he was checking on the other guards and Rell. Morrison coming out of nowhere strikes the men directly behind the neck (roll 12+4;dmg 5+3;Fort save 17) The guards caught unaware can't do a thing against Morrison attack and falls unconcious on the ground. The blow was swift and silencious, and doesn't seems to have alerted the guards on top. The people nearby still didn't realise what just happened in front of them.

Round 1

As the guard gets in reach Rell hits the ground creating a powerfull wave of energy. The ground in front of him starts to shake. (save 1 and 2) Both the guards and the commoner are unable to keep their footing and falls on the ground under the powerfull wave of energy.

Fror quickly thanks the others visibely not wanting to elaborates on the reason why the guards didn't ask any questions. Utrolac feeling ashamed of his behavior, go sits back alone in the back of the gnome cart.

Fror answers Makas "One problem my friend the others got away by the southern door as we took the northern one.

Makas and Calondor can notice not too far away the mine on top of the large hill. They are now in the wood Calondor walked by earlier today to approach the mine.

Time to make a break for it. Rell moves as rapidly as posible past the downed people and makes for the gate.

 

[Legildur]

Makas shrugs his shoulders at Fror's comments. "Very well then. We'd best make our way back to the camp as agreed and wait for them there."

 

[RillianPA]

ooc: Apologies...I really thought something else needed to happen before Morrison's next action.


Assuming it looks like Rell has a clear path to the gate, Morrison will run through the gate towards the nearest cover.

 

[Mithran]

"Agreed, Utrolac you stay close to the wagon. Would you like to take the forward position or stay towards the back Makas?, I don't expect any trouble but you can never be to cautious."

 

[Legildur]

Makas shrugs his shoulders. "At the back, I guess," he says.

 

[DarkMaster]

Morrison starts running towards the nearest wood about 400' feet in front of him. He can't see any cover before that. The only cover he can see would be the local populace and cart waiting to enter the village on the dirt road leading to the entrance.

Rell dashes towards the door, passing near the guard he just downed and rushing through the crowd. As he tries to make his way as quickly as possible, he hears the sound of an arrow coming his way. (15-4 cover, dmg 6) The arrow hits one a merchant nearby. The man falls on the ground an arrow through his chests.

As he continue to run towards the door a second arrow is shot from the tower (roll 14) the arrow scrath Rell clothing but doesn't even touch his flesh. The arrow stick in the ground making a low sploutch as it hits the sand and dirt.

Rell finally reaches the door, but he notices small holes on top of the door that the archer could use against him.

----

The other group slowly heads towards the front of the city, pushing Fror cart through the woods. The group can't notice any trails from there position that leads to the front gate. Utrolac attempts to help but he is rather unsuccesfull.

 

[Scotley]

Rell Half-Giant Soul Knife

Rell quickly glances around at the people he downed looking for something he could hold over his head as he runs through the door. A bundle of thatch, a basket of goods, boards, even a large cloak. He if spots something useful he will grab it and hold over his head as he passes under the holes. If nothing is handy he will simply run through as fast as he can and hope for the best.

 

[RillianPA]

ooc: Rell's action is before Morrison.

If Rell reaches Morrison and is heavily injured, Morrison will spontaneously cast Cure Light on Rell and single move towards cover. Otherwise, Morrison will continue to run for cover.

 

[Legildur]

Makas continues to assist in getting Fror's wagon back to their original campsite.
