The Party Forms Up and Moves Out
Subject: Re: the DM clears his throat
Kayla breathes a sigh of relief. She's come to like Holn in a single piece instead of two.
She straightens up and announces, "Time to go! I'd ruther not leave these men here to die." Kayla faces the two guards and puts on a stern look, "It's time to defend your town. Let us fight by your side."

In the ear of the man pinned beneath him, Buchek says "when I let you up, do not attack us. We are not your enemy--the raiders are. If you doubt me, ask yourself why I didn't snap your neck. Had I wished it I could have taken your life. If you raise your hand against one of my companions again, you will join the ranks of those who will serve me in the afterlife. Count on it."
Buchek rolls off of the guard and onto his feet, axe in hand. He looks around, surveying the situation, searching for a likely target.

"Thank you for your quick action, but we are beset on all sides," Holn states.
"They need us out there."

OOC: Holn will wait for the others, following their lead. He doesn't put away the mace.

What can Buchek see of the melee?

Seeing that his prayer has been successful, and that the guard is immobilized, Erk takes a quick look around. The fighting is even worse than he had thought. He sees if he can spot a knot of particularly fierce fighting. If he can, he will say, ?Bermid, Buchek, let us form a skirmish line and advance on that group of raiders. You others, support us from the rear with missile fire if you can. It is time we got into this battle.?

Holn will follow the group into the frey....

He hadn?t seen this. There had been no fire in his dreams. But these people had all haunted him... he had to see where this would take him.
Elotai glances at Bermid, hoping that no signs of his earlier weakness have returned, then follows the others outside, sword ready.
OOC: I?d like to try and set up a Colour Spray, if I can ? are there any groups of raiders I can hit without also hitting guards?

Telwyn pats the frozen guard on the shoulder. "Sorry about that, but we can't have you cutting down our companion." It's hard to tell, but there may be the barest hint of a smirk behind his otherwise deadpan features.
At Erk's suggestion, he nods and exits the tower, nocking an arrow even as he goes.
OOC: As suggested, Telwyn will stay behind Erk and shoot the bad guys. He'll try to pick out a target that is not engaged in melee combat, but if no such target is available, he will loose his arrows at the closest raider. He will use Rapid Shot against an unengaged target, but will not against an engaged one.

I'm running out for the night now and have no time to put together a map, and a turn would be really hard to follow without a visual of the battlefield.
So, that said, I'm going to try to put something together when I get home tonight. If not, I'll have it out tomorrow morning before I leave to finish painting the room I'm moving into next week.
