65 attacks on him and not one natural 20![/sblock]The leader directs his horse to head towards Aram.  Aram can see a large, dark axe at the man's side.  After the leader's closer he unleashes an arrow barrage of his own, sending three towards the dervish with his composite longbow.  Only the last of these draws blood, but it strikes harder than an unskilled fighter could likely manage.(ooc: Aram takes 13 damage, hp 43/56).[sblock=map][code] NOTE: 1 sq = 20'........................................XXXXX..........HHHHHHHHH.HHHH................XXXXX..........HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH............XXXXXX.........HHHHHHHHHHHhHHHHHH............XXXXXX........HHHHHHHHHHH.~HHLHHHH..........XXXXXXX.......HHHHHHHHHHH.tttHHHhHHHH........XXXXXXX.................H..~.H.HAHHHH.......XXXXXXXX........................HHHHHH.......XXXXXXXX..................,,,.........X.....XXXXXXXXX.................,,,,,........X.....XXXXXXXXX..X.............,,,,,,,............XXXXXXXXXX................,,,a,ss............XXXXXXXXXX................,,,,,,,....X......XXXXXXXXXXX..................,,,S............XXXXXXXXXXX....................gRq..........XXXXXXXXXXXX....................Br...........XXXXXXXXXXXX..................N..............XXXXXXXXXXXX.................................XXXXXXXXXXXX...X.............................XXXXXXXXXXXX.......................X........XXXXXXXXXXXXX.................................XXXXXXXXXXXX.................................XXXXXXXXXXXX..................................XXXXXXXXXXX..................................XXXXXXXXXXX.............X............X........XXXXXXXXXX...................................XXXXXXXXXX....................................XXXXXXXXX....................................XXXXXXXXX......................X..............XXXXXXXX.....................................XXXXXXXX......................................XXXXXXX......................................XXXXXXX.......................................XXXXXX....X..................................XXXXXX...........X............................XXXXX....................X...................XXXXX.........................................XXXX...............................................................................................................................................GGGGGGKGGGGGzGGG.............................G.GXXG..G.XXX..GG............................dGCCmCCmCCmCmCCCG.........XX.................GCCmCCmCCmCmCCCCG............................GCCmCCCmCCCCCCCG.............................GCCCMCCCmCCCCGG...............................GGGGGGGGGGG...................X.....H = galloping horsemanL = horseman leader~ = black tentaclest = fallen horseman + black tentacles, grappled horseh = horse, no riderG = caravan guard taking cover behind camelC = pack camelm = merchant, M = Surna Lamshar (merchant leader)K = Ahmed Khel, z,d = Sargeants of the GuardX = cliff or rockA = Aram (his camel has dropped); special note: he is closer to his neighbors than the map scale indicatesB = Bevin, g = Girgal (dinosaur form)N = Nargon, R = Rajah, r = Ripclaw, S = Skeleteq = Razor (invisible)s = summoned troll skeletona = summoned allip (note 60' (3 sq) babble)[/code][/sblock]ooc: Note the 20'/sq scale of the map.  PCs to act.</blockquote>
