Tossuc Is Just Too Good, Kayla's Warning
Subject: Re: Attack! (part deux, or A 'Shocking' Development)
Buchek hardly seems to feel Tussoc's blows, and he is too far gone in his rage to be more than half aware of the man's words. The barbarian's world contracts until it consists only of Nauhata, singing through the air in his left hand, and the man who murdered his father, standing before him. With a wordless bellow of rage, Buchek swings again.

Feeling as if all attempts at organization are slipping away, she calls out to Erk as he turns to rejoin the fighting. "Erk! Two behind us tryin'ta torch the Inn!"

Holn makes his way, moving defensively, toward the archers and calling for Fancek.
OOC: *breaks into Adrian Belew song* ...big electric cat, big electric cat....

Erk takes a quick look behind him at Kayla's words. He is clearly torn, but decides to stay with the group. "I can't leave the others while they fight the leader." He will move up to help against Tussoc. "Telwyn, can you and Kayla fall back to protect the inn?" he'll call out as he advances.

OOC: Whew! Glad to hear it Ty--otherwise, I kind of doubt that Buchek would survive this fight.

How badly are you hurt? Should Erk be concerned about healing you right away? (he is down to two light heal spells)

"Hay, Telwyn. Help me?" She motions toward the raiders running into the Inn. Kayla puts the sling away and draws her handaxe. She's not much at hand-to-hand, but with a little luck...
(Kayla waits for Telwyn's response before she moves toward the raiders)

Nah, he's got 37out of 52 hp left--he's fine for the moment. He's also got the die hard feat, so he's a little harder to kill than the average 4th level character. Of course, he also does stupid shit like attempting to take on a much more powerful opponent one on one, which makes him more likely to *be* killed, so it kind of evens out.

Seeing that Buchek looks a little beat up, but no where near ready to drop dead, Erk will do what he can to help defeat the raider chief. In this case, doing what he can involves a lot of hitting the raider in the knees with his axe. :)

Say, Matt, what is the ground like under Buchek's feet? Grass? Sand? Dirt?

OOC: Matt, have the two going for the inn gotten there yet? If not, what's the range from Telwyn to them, and how far are they from the inn?

Subject: Questions Answered
Clara: There is still courage song on everyone, giving them a +1 bonus to attack and damage (not that it has really mattered so much at this point, since no one's been able to hit Tossuc yet). And your HP are 24.
Jake: The ground under Buchek's feet is hard packed dirt. It's the main road through the center of the outpost that heads across the bridge and into the Tall Grass.
Mike: The two men haven't gone into the inn yet, but they will enter it at the start of next turn. They're about ten feet away at this point. When Kayla mentions it to you, you will have time to look up and see them enter the building. Unfortunately, you won't have time to stand up, draw an arrow, notch and fire before they're safely inside.
Clarification of Raja/Elotai's vision: He saw and heard the explosion from behind him, but turned to see nothing (not that it makes any difference to any of your characters since it all happened in his head, but still, just for clarity's sake)
