Bel finds the spot
Subject The chase
Round 16 Initiative Surin 24, Fal 20, Bel 18, Ran 16 Dargrak 16, Harp 16, Cai 13, Kal 12, Rochelle 11, Salix 4.
The run has started to take it toll on Surin(I have forgotten to do the non-lethal damage that some one takes when they run for more than a minute. DC10, roll 14, save, DC11, roll 5, fail, DC12, roll 2, fail, DC 13, roll 19, save, DC14, roll 6, fail, DC15, roll 1, fail, non lethal damage, 12) Luckily he sees the horses just ahead. He prays that he can make it.
Fal sees that Dargrak is still out of range of all his spells and decides to take another shot. (DC9, 10+1=11, hit) His bolt passes through the ? orc's arm, doing some damage.(Damage 8). Fal drops his crossbow and pulls out the components for a couple of spells. The brute should be within range in a few seconds.
As Bel releases two more arrows he shouts at Ran ?Ran I think we need to get Rochelle out of here.? His first arrow finds it's mark (AC9, 20+3=23, critical threat, Critical threat roll 20+3=23, critical hit, Damage 22) The arrow hits Dargrak in the chest and sticks there. Dargrak reaches up and pulls the arrow from his chest and licks the blood from it. The second arrow also hits,(AC9, 18+3=21, hit, damage 3) but does only a little damage.
Ran hears Bel's shout and decides the that ranger might be right. ?Kal I do not think that this brute will stop his pursuit. We must make a stand and give Rochelle a chance to escape.? To Bel he shouts ?Bel, get Surin on his horse and go with him and Rochelle. Keep them safe. We will catch up if we can. Send Ebon to find us.? With that Ran loosens his sword from it's sheath.
Dargrak seems not to have noticed all the damage done to him. His howling is incoherent, spit forming into foam around his mouth. He has now gripped the huge double headed axe in both hands.
Harp decides that most of the party members are close enough to benefit from the blessings of his god. He chants the prayer of battle and a glow seems to surround all of the members of the party except Kal who is just out of range.
Cai also takes a couple of shots at the ? orc.(AC9, 4+3=7,miss, 12+3=15,hit, damage 8) The first arrow goes wide but the second draws blood, finding a spot in the thigh.
Kal nods at Ran command to stand and fight. This would be a test of his skills. He would stand side by side with these brave people and defeat this evil beast.
Rochelle grabs the reins and starts her horse eastward.
Salix turns from the girl and takes a few steps back towards the brute. He is sick of running and this ? orc needed to be taught a lesson about messing with druids. Placing his hand on the symbol on his chest, he chants the prayer to Obad-Hai, asking the nature god to send him allies. About 35 feet away from the party two eagles appear. They fly at the ? orc and attack him.
The first eagle is able to scratch the brute. (AC9, 11+2=13, damage 3) while the other tries but is unable to connect. (AC9, 4+3=7, miss)
OODM: Ok the round is over. Surin, Ran and Kal are 40 feet from the horses and the party. They will only need to make a double move action next round to get to the horses. Dargrak is 200 feet from the party and closing fast and pissed. Rochelle has started riding east. There are two eagle attacking Dargrak.

Does Kal have time to lay caltrops in the half-orc's path?

We will see. :)
He can try. If he succedes is the question.

:-D. If Kal figures we have enough time, he'll tell everyone to move back about 15 feet, spread the caltrops where they're standing now, and then retreat. If not, he'll draw his rapier and prepare to cast scorching ray.
