Vrogor double checks the fasteners and straps on his armor, and then ensures his weapons are as secure as possible, so that he makes the least amount of noise. He then stalks after Jorr, crossing the road and moving on into the forest beyond.
Enala also listens as Jorr listens, to wait for foreign sounds. (Listen +10) She draws her cloak close to make as little noise as possible, and also crosses the road.

Everyone crosses the Dawn Way without incident. Nothing is seen on the road and you are quickly swallowed up into the forest again following the same small foot path east. Travelling about two more miles you come to a split in the path to the right and left.
"We take the right path. We should get to Swift creek in about another hour or two." says Jorr.
He stops for a second and appears to be listening. His hand drops to the hilt of his long knife. "Beware! Danger approaches!" Now you can hear it too. A low droning buzz coming from the south.
Flying about 10 feet in the air and 60 feet away, three wasps the size of horses come zooming in at you.
OOC: Due to Jorr's warning you are not surprised. Go ahead and post your actions.
I really need that wand of magic missiles, the mage thinks. Maybe I'll just have to learn how to make wands on my own. Gastarn ducks behind a tree for cover and gets ready to cast a spell at the first creature that comes into range.

Ready an action to cast Ray of Enfeeblement on the first wasp that comes into range.

Riding under a low-branched tree or bush in an attempt to keep the massive wasps from easily approaching the small mounted archer and his mount, Coyo smoothly draws and knocks an arrow, drawing a bead on the lead wasp. He looses it and draws and fires a second.
OOC:
Clip moves to hopefully gain cover or force them to fight in a low space (they are large, compared to a medium dog and a small halfling); +9/+9 (1d6+3 dmg, 20/x3 crit, rng 110 ft.)
Stepping ahead of his companions in hopes of drawing the wasps to him, Vrogor brandishes his greatsword. With a loud warcry, he attacks the closest creature with a savage two-handed slash.
OOC:
Greatsword +8, 2d6+15 (3-point power attack)
Init +4, AC 17 (t 11/ff 16), HP 49/49
Enala reaches for her shortswords, preparing to slice at the creatures when they approach. She stays close to Delghar, in case she can be of assistance to him.
ooc:
TWF shortswords: +6/+6, 1d6+2/1d6+2
Staying within 15' of Delghar, if I'm not already, so that I can flank with him if the opportunity arises.
Coyo guides his mount under the branches of a nearby tree and lets loose two arrows at the lead wasp. [(13)+9=22,(12)+9=21] Both striking true. [4 and 5 points of damage]
Gastarn casts a spell as they wasps fly towards you. The sicky greenish beam hits the vermin right between it's large multifaceted eyes [(17)+2=19. Drains (6)+2=8 STR]
The giant wasp continues to fly at Vrogor and it quicky dodges to the side as it comes in causing Vrogor's mighty swing to miss [(3)+8=11]. The wasp attacks but in it's weakened state Vrogor easily brushes off the attack.
The second wasp moves in and attacks Delghar. But he has prepared for it's attack and Delghar's axe strikes true choping off two of it's legs. [(19)+6=25, 14 points of damage]. The wasps long stinger jabs at Delghar but his heavy armor keeps it from penentrating.
The last wasp attacks Enala who stabs at the beast with her short swords and both cut deep. [(10)+6=16, (14)+6=20 for 3 and 7 points of damage] Enala's weaves a defensive web of steel around her keeping the wasp at bay.
Jorr draws he blade and moves to help Delghar. He stabs the creature in the side.
