Round 3
Perception
Angeus curses as the thug turns just enough that her thrust was dulled by his leathers, proabably giving him a nice bruise instead of piercing his heart.
Her head snaps up at the hideous roar and she peers into the darkness of the fortress.
"Gods! What in the blazes is that? Get that dragon in here, we'll need it!" she says as she dances in an tries for the thug once more.
Attack
But once again the thug proves resilient, deftly deflecting Angeus' riposte.
Master Tolen would not be impressed
The thug took a full withdraw from combat, not provoking any AoO from the spot he starts his movement from. The Thug moved 60 feet and the map has been updated.
There is no obvious way up to either of the towers. To your left it looks like you might be able to squeeze between the wall and the ruins. There is an opening into the ruins and likely around the ruin on the right, where the thug ran.

The dragon comes up in a fury, and the mounts scatter. It quickly stops before the gate and lets Katrina off, then charges after one of the horses it appears.
Another scout appears next to the one above they both shoot down.
Some hulking beast seems to begin to move in the ruins... where Dovan retreated to within the ruins.
Inside is rather dark but you can make out the form of a bear, no a bear with feathers and the head of a owl.
Quince looks at the beast nervously, he comments to his allies, "Greshen obrgin lagh reper."
Round 3
"What is the plan then? Inside to face the beast but have cover from the archers, or after the thug to the right?" He waits for a few moments hoping for some direction.
Perception
As Angeus runs after the thug, she points at the large man at the falling wall "Ware the big man!"
Kevros moves to a location to the right to let others filter in.
The thug scouts in the tower have some cover with a small half wall in between them and the group, though since they are shooting down they are still viable targets.
Round 3
Saren takes a double move following Angeus and draws his greatsword as he goes.
Round 3
She moves up to Quince, not sure exactly what is going on. "Yell if you are hurt!" She yells out to the group. She quickly prays and a green light blossoms in her hand as she touches Quince and deftly pulls out the arrow from his torso, "Mother heal us."
Round 3
The thug in front of Angeus and Saren keeps moving between the outer wall and the ruins. He seems to quickly dodge between a tight corner at the end.
The monks all brace themselves for what is coming from within the ruins.
The beast comes charging out leaving behind a small line of blood. The bear like creature with some feathers and a head of an owl attacks nightwing with one of its mighty paws, grabbing ahold of the monk.
plus grab
The monks attack the beast quickly drawing weapons and trying to take down the beast that hold's their leader. Both missing. Nightwing gets free of the bear like creatures paw just barely.

Kevros shoots at the thug above him.
Ammo: 3/5
Then yells out, "AYE KATRINA!"
Round 4
Katrina quickly tries to get into the fort and under the tower. As she tumbles the owlbear stops her and the tumble becomes more of a spill. Then she tries again still being blocked by the owlbear.

Round 5
vs. DC 21
She quickly gets behind Kevros and heals him, "Mother heal him well." Green light blossoms and it appears to rush down him as if water healing the wounds as it goes. She is able to get the arrow out correctly with the spell healing as she pulls it, the arrow slides out easily.
Kevros is now at 18 hp.
vs. DC 15
"I am out of spells, all I have left are channels, hopefully we can get the beast taken care of so I can get into a better place to not heal our enemies." She shouts out hoping others understand.
Round 4
The owlbear reaches out to bite Katrina as she fumbles her way passed it. Luckily she is able to dodge the attack and the owlbear misses.
Round 4
Kevros smiles, "Thank you Katrina, please get behind me."
Kevros moves closer to the tower watching not be under murder holes on holes in the wall. Then aims for the Owlbear with a precise shot ...
Ammo: 2/5
Quince draws his mace and squares off with the beast. He tries to work with Nightwing and the monks to attack at a vulnerable time. He unleashes a strike at the monster. Crying out in celestial.
Round 4
Kevros hits the owlbear with a good shot but just bloodies it some more. The dragon is off scrapping with something outside.
Quince takes two arrows to his chest and takes 10 more damage, leaving him with only 4 left, all of Katrina's work gone now.
The thug that is running from Angeus and Saren keeps going. Angeus and Saren dodge through some of the skinner parts and keep on his tail.
Nightwing and one of his brothers gets one hit each as they begin to flurry, striking the owlbear many times but only a few leave lasting damage. Quince gets a hit in with his morningstar piercing into the beast as well.
The owlbear goes in a fury and misses Nightwing with its claws but bites hard into the monk, leaving a bleeding wound. 5 damage.

Perception
Round 5
Quince moans as he is struck twice. He staggers. Keeping his shield before him he moves away from the owlbear and then when he is beyond the threshold of the gate he moves along the wall keeping his back to it and hopefully keeping the archers from hitting him.
Round 5
A few poorly aimed arrows shoot down on Angeus and Saren. You know that the rogue is leading you somewhere perhaps with more targets.
Come on up to the second floor map.
The archers above shoot down on one of the monks, hurting the monk severely now down to 5/18 hp. The monks lets loose their attacks cutting up the owlbear and the monk who just got hurt cuts a mighty blow with his sickle and the beast drops.

Round 5
Katrina pulls out a strange looking bone sword and plunges it into the beast before her and a red mist swirls up the blade and over her arm making a red miasma aura around her. She lets out a primal scream and points the blade up at the archers above. Her muscles ripple and she seems to grow a few inches.
"Run you fools or mother nature's wrath will soon be upon you!"
Kevros looks at Katrina with amazement and chuckles, "Nothing worse than a woman scorn."
Since the Owlbear has been dispatched by the monks and Katrina, he makes one more move adjustment to get a better shot at one of the archers and hopefully not in line of sight, full, or partial cover of the other.
Ammo: 1/5
Kevros' repeating hvy crossbow bolt flies true to one of the Stag Lord's scouts and hits him square in the chest with a resounding thud, "YEAH!"
Round 5
The scout drops from Kevros' attack the thud is even louder as his body hits the tower floor.

A voice calls out within the ruins, "Auchs come down here we will need you."
A large man with a big club appears in the ruins just after you all act.
The dragon outside rushes from one side to the other.
Quince looks over to Scram and he signal's him in celestial.
Kevros uses this time to pick up his sword, sheathe it, and takes up a position still out of sight of the archer.
Round 6
The scout above takes his bow and takes cover hiding from the glare of the katfolk.
The hurt monk retreats to below the tower as the other two advance into the ruins. The sound of battle commences as the monks fight others within the ruins. Someone within is roaring wordlessly. Nightwing hits hard on one of the assailants. Katrina hits as well.

Tactics
During Combat Auchs is singularly unimaginative in battle,
roaring wordlessly and wielding his club in both hands.
Morale Auchs fights to the death if Dovan is visible, but
otherwise surrenders and begs for his life if brought below 5
hp. If granted mercy, Auchs becomes the loyal companion of
whoever “saved him,” but his natural tendency toward cruelty
might make for later problems.
Dovan

Special Attacks sneak attack +2d6
Morale Dovan attempts to flee into the
wilds if reduced to fewer than 4 hit points,
but if cornered, he fights to the death.
Scram continues through the gate confused by the press of bodies as to where to go next.
Quince follows the horse through the breach (double move). Trying to get a feel of where he can assist. He moves from cover to cover hoping to deny the archer in the tower a clear shot.
Do I try to push through allies to get where I can fight or do I get up that tower and deal with the archer
Round 7
Not having a clear shot, Kevros scans for any enemy combatants.
Round 6
Angeus continues to chase the thug, but notices the other up on the tower readying the brazier.
Calling out the Saren "That one's trying to light a signal!"
She runs up the stairs after the thug.
Acrobatics
Round 7
Round 5
You can see that the rogue/thug moved up the stairs and stopped up near the top. You can do one move action and be at the top of the stairs. Then you can do another move or standard of your choice but the thug is 5 feet away from you. You could try to tumble past him so he does not get an AoO. Your action of choice. Look at the map and decide what you want to do!
Round 7
Kevros picks up his sword and sheathes it. Dovan stabs the monk with his rapier possibly puncturing a lung. The monk quickly moves back, full withdraw. Scram won't be able to do anything this round. No arrows rain down from any of the towers. Katrina takes a swipe at the big guy and hits hard but knows better and takes a step back. Nightwing keeps on the big man and slices him with his kamas. The big man gives as just as good as he gets slamming the club into Nightwing and he seems to be on his last feet as well.

11 Scouts (2) Readied
7 Saren
6 Thug/rogue Readied
Kevros heads over to the main gate and peers outside to make sure no one is going to surprise them from their rear flank. In addition, who remains out front? In summary, since it is really too crowded for Kevros to enter range or melee with Auches, he secures the rear flank.
Round 7
Angeus sprints up the stairs with Saren close behind. She sees the thug threatening the space at the top of the stairs, so she jumps up and springs lightly off of the stair railing, trying to sail safely over the thugs outstretched weapon...
Acrobatics
Quince tries to climb the wood wall up to the walkway but slipped back down he redoubles his effort and his frustration makes the climb even worse.
round 5
You make it up top behind the thug, neither his nor the archer's readied action go off in time to catch you.
Round 6
The archer behind Angeus hits you with an arrow, doing 5 damage as the arrow buries itself in your shoulder. She exclaims in pain but not before stabbing the rogue with her rapier, for 9 damage, leaving a bloody spot with the rapier that grows quickly. Saren quickly finishes him off with his greatsword, leaving a 3 inch gaping wound between the rogue's shoulder and neck. Blood flies everywhere and the man drops dead.
Round 7
Angeus goes after the archer and tries to stab him with her rapier but he dodges the poor attack. Then the archer fails his tumble to be free of the woman, taking 4 damage as he goes. Then he hits Angeus with another arrow leaving her even more bloody, 7 damage. Saren chases the archer down and gets behind with a successfully tumble past the archer doing a quick slide under the man.
Round 8
Angeus takes the archer down as he is more bloody than her. The other archer shoots at Saren and hits, 3 damage, merely a flesh wound. Saren charges the poor man and lays him low with a great arc flash of metal.
The rear flank has been secured by the dragon who is now herding the other mounts to the front of the fort. Kevros you could grab the reigns and secure them to the walls or bring them into the fort.
Round 6
Saren waits for Angeus to act giving her flanking at the moment but he knows he could move over and take out the archer if she does not take out the rogue.
Round 8
Dovan misses Katrina as she dodges his stab. Katrina brings her bone sword down and cuts Dovan for 4 damage, slicing into his shirt and leaving a decent wound there as well. Nightwing misses with both of his strikes as he is taken down by Auchs. Quince tries for the wall but fails to make purchase let alone over the wall.

"Where is everyone? Nightwing is down and a horse is helping me?!" She seems rather upset.
Round 9
Saren yells so that his target can here, "I will go down quick. You make it down safely, Katrina will look at your wounds soon."
He throws his sword over the side of the tower wall, then tries to climb down and fall the last 10 feet. He makes it down safely.

Round 9
Kevros sees Quince trying to scale the walls and decides that is a good idea since there is a damn horse in the way but is going to try the opposite wall. He slings his crossbow and scales the wall.
Quince looks as Kevros steps in and watches him shoot ably up the wall. He calls to him in annoyed celestial, "Fraglin Rentude."
Once on the walkway Quince notes one of the thugs and crosses the bridge to deal with him.
Round 9
Quince makes it up 5 feet but needs another check to get to the top and another one to pull himself up.
Round 9 2nd try fail but no fall
Round 10 2nd try and to the top of the wall
Round 10 up on top of the wall and finish the round getting to the bandit who obviously is clutching at his bow as if it were his blankey and is rocking in fear.
Kevros makes it up 5 feet...
Round 9 2nd try fail but no fall
Round 10 2nd try and to the top of the wall
Round 10 up on top of the wall and have 25 more feet of movement. The rocks are loose and wobbly where you are if you wait and attempt to shoot from this spot you may fall as some of the rocks may come loose.
Katrina dodges Dovan's stab and cuts the large Auchs dropping him.
Round 10
Dovan misses yet again and Katrina misses him as well. They pace around each other looking for the best of strikes with no one else around.
Saren picks up his sword and moves towards the battle.

Dovan makes a grand strike on Katrina taking the wind out of her as the rapier tip penetrates deep into her body, blood begins to seep out slowly at first. Though at the same time she cuts him nearly as hard leaving a grievous wound on his off arm, nearly cutting to the bone.
Saren pushes the horse out of his way as he slips by it and rushes in to strike at the one fighting alone with his cleric! His greatsword comes down and Dovan dodges it. "Fool you don't know what powers you are messing with and your doom is nigh!" Saren says rather angry and focusing that anger at the foe before him.

Quince sees the man cowering but lets loose with his mace anyway. Erastil forgive me. I cannot have him re-entering this fight. If he goes unconscious I swear I will heal him. If he dies . . .
