The six men ride in boldly, the one in the lead saying, "Smart man, Leveton, making sure the doors are open so we ain't gotta burn the place down. We'll be..." He stops, taking a closer look at Helgash in disguise, then yells out, "You ain't Oleg! KILL EVERYONE!"
The bandit leader brings his bow to bear on Helgash. He quickly fires two arrows, the first flying through the clothes he's wearing, the second striking him.
The other five are a little slower to fire, but all manage to launch arrows at the two people they see. Four fire at Helgash, one at Svetlana. None of them strike Helgash, but the one strikes Svetlana.
Hyglak pops up from hiding and fires a single arrow at the leader, striking him solidly.
A full second later, Svetlana brings her crossbow to bear on the leader and launches at bolt at him, but misses by feet and sends a bolt flying over the wall.
Happs 29/34

With a great push, Theodronis would slam his door closed before sweeping his gaze across the seen. Noticing a horse in Baelin's way, he would move to close the distance between him and it.
While he moved he would pull his Aldori Sword free from its scabbard and fall into a fighting stance his master had taught him.
"Surrender thieves or taste my blade," he would shout in an attempt to give them the chance he said he would.
Korren rises to one knee, taking advantage of the little cover of the wall's inner platform and its elevated position. As soon as the doors shut behind the bandits, Korren will fire at the rearmost bandit with a deafening thunder.
Baelin will summon up some arcane energy casting shield on himself before moving into base contact with the one at the door.
swift into crane. at will shield spell (standard), Move to base.
Throw down your weapons and be judged like men. Push this fight and you will die this day. I am Baelin Orvlosky, by charter banditry is a crime in these lands. This is your last chance.
The initial barrage fired from the bandit leader landed squarely on Helgash, almost puncturing one of his lungs. His rage shakes him into surpassing the initial shock from the damage, and the huge tiefling lumbers forward to swing his massive hammer at the leader.
"It is over for you, fools!" - he roars.

Though the bandit Theodronis attempted to scare laughs at him, a moment later, Baelin issues a far more effective demand.
Korren quickly readjusts his aim, firing at the nearest bandit he can see. Sadly, he still misses, his bullet striking the roof of one of the bunkhouses.
Helgash moves in on the leader, successfully smiting him.
The leader's horse moves back 5 ft., as he fires a pair of arrows at Helgash. As they are both about to strike home on the holy warrior of Iomedae, a transparent woman clad in golden armor appears and swats away one of the arrows. Only one strikes Helgash. As he falls unconscious, she smiles at him and helps him to the ground, and then she vanishes.
Two of the bandits struggle with their horses, not doing anything but keeping them from bolting.
The other three bandits fire arrows. One each at Helgash, Hyglak, andTheodronis. One arrow strikes Hyglak and Theodronis each.
Hyglak misses the bandit leader, and moves towards Helgash.
Svetlana moves to the door, pushing it open and disappearing inside.
Happs 8/34
Hyglak 4/12

Grimacing as the arrow grazed his shoulder, Theodronis would step up next to his enemy in a defensive stance before suddenly lashing out in a wide arc that seemed to strain every fiber in his body as he swung not only at the bandit next to him, but the next closest as well.

Baelin sees Helgash take another arrow and decides he must engage the leader. Withough hesitation he gains a spring in his step as he moves up to base the leader standing amongst all the bandits he leaps performing a super man punch to Happs ribs.
The old man shows he has some fight in him as he runs up to avenge his fallen ally.
I gave you a chance to settle this as men. Now you will face a terror like no other. Remember the name Baelin as it will be the one you share with the other fallen in the afterlife
Seeing Helgash fall, Korren roars in anger, "I call the destruction of Torag the Mighty upon you, reaver scum!" Korren fires again, attempting to strike the same target.
"Bggdffffllhshdgfggggg" - Come the unintelligible words from the fallen Barbarian, his rage dissipating in a pool of his own blood.
House Rule: A character can combine the move actions from two consecutive rounds to perform an additional standard action. Yes, this means a caster could cast three spells across two rounds.

Connel strikes the bandit leader with a bolt, quickly ducking back below the edge of the stable.
Theodronis slashes in a wide arc, missing both bandits, and their horses.
Baelin breaks from the bandit he was threatening, and manages to avoid the wild flailings of both not focused on keeping their mount from bolting. Arriving at his goal, he speaks with undeniable authority and proceeds to jump up in the air, spinning as he does so, and kick the bandit leader in the side of the head. There is an audible crack as the leader's neck snaps, and then falls from the saddle. His dead stare is focused on Hyglak, sending a small chill down the hellspawn's spine.
Korren finishes reloading, steps up to the door and fires over it. He easily sends the bullet into the bandit, the boom of Matilda panicking the horses even more.
The bandit leader's horse panics, whirling around to flee, but falters and nearly breaks a leg.
Due to Matilda, four of the five remaining bandit's horses turn to flee, their riders unable to control them. Two of the mounted bandits manage to stay on their panicked mounts as they flee out the trading post's open door, the other two fall. The two who fall land hard, but scramble to their feet.
The lone bandit able to keep his mount under control stabs at Theodronis, nearly striking him.
Hyglak reach Helgash, muttering out a prayer and healing the paladin.

Theodronis would notice the jittery horse of his enemy turn to start to flee. Not thinking of his safety, but the consequences should they let even one of the bandits escape, Theodronis would lash out at the horse's legs with one of his own in the hopes of stopping the beast in its tracks.
-
Throwing himself into a potentially very dangerous position, Theodronis valiantly attempts to trip the lead fleeing horse, but fails. The horse tries to kick him, missing in its terror to get away.
With a grim look, Theodronis would use his trip's unused momentum to come about into a runner's starting stance before springing into action.
"Prevent them from escaping," he would yell to his companions as he pushed forward into a reckless charge after the nearest bandit and his horse.
Knowing he would not get another chance, Theodronis would lash out with his Aldori Dueling Sword at not only the rider, but the horse as well.
Korren turns as the two bandits flee, his musket tracking the fleeing men as he carefully aims. Matilda speaks again, and the musket ball strikes the furthest bandit squarely in the base of his neck.
As the man screams and pitches off his horse, Korren shouts back over his shoulder, "Mount and get after him!"
Baelin move action and mounts Happs horse. Then move action handle animal to run down the fleeing bandit.
You guys handle the rest here, take prisoners for questioning. I will be back shortly.
Helgash stands up, blood pouring from many puncturing arrow wounds - with a look around, he nods to Hyglak - "Thank you friend - I could not avoid that hail of arrows from the bastard"
Quickly regaining his footing, he surveys the scene to get his bearings.

Hyglak attack vs. bandit 2:
Connel sends a bolt flying after a fleeing bandit, who is saved when the bolt lodges itself in the door.
Theodronis charges after the fleeing bandits and slashes wildly at the rearmost, swinging wildly and widely, again.
Korren sends a bullet into the back of a bandit with such force he flies forward out of the saddle and over the horses head. He is dead before hitting the ground.
Baelin barely manages to mount the panicked horse, but does stay in the saddle.
The bandit leader's horse continues to panic, bucking wildly as it tries to get Baelin off it.
Seeing Korren take down one of their comrades, the two bandits who fell off their mounts just seconds ago look at each other, and then drop to their knees with their hands in the air. One says, "We surrender!"
The last mounted bandit in the trading post gets his horse under control, moving it a step closer to one of the two surrendering. Yelling out, "Traitors!" He strikes at one of them, opening a nasty gash across the guys face.
The only bandit on one of the fleeing horses manages to get control of his mount and spurs it onward. The other three horses keep pace with him, all heading for the forest to the south-southwest.
As Hyglak stands, he says, "Nameless brigand! As a servant of Abadar, Master of the First Vault, I find you guilty and sentence you to death!" He raises his bow and fires an arrow, but misses the bandit.

With a last stitch effort, Theodronis would attempt to grab hold of the fleeing bandit.
Watching the bandit escape his grasp, Theodronis would quickly survey the scene for options. Seeing the fallen bandit close by, he would make his way quickly towards him and pick up his fallen enemy's bow while placing his sword down next to him.
Korren swiftly thumbs a paper cartridge into his musket, ramming it home. He then moves to the parapet of the wall and takes a very stable firing position, with Matilda's muzzle tracking the man's flight.
move action to handle animal
Baelin pats the horse a few times on its neck wispering some words in celestial. The horse calms and takes off toward the fleeing bandit.
Again speaking in the tounge of the angels Baelin digs his heels into the horse attempting to spur it forward.
Baelin fails to spur the panicked mount but takes off in a run after the fleeing bandit.
I won't go far, I should be back in no more than an hour tops. Find out what you can.

Connel redirects his aim on the mounted bandit still inside the walls, sending a bolt flying where he would be if he hadn't leaned over to strike his former companion.
From atop the wall, Korren scans the land south of the trading post, judging the distance to the mounted and still fleeing bandit to be roughly 200 ft. away, and the forest several miles away.
Baelin tries to get his horse to gallop faster, but succeeds in only bloodying its flanks a little as he pursues the bandit.
Don't be a fool boy! You have ONE chance to surrender, or you will die today, regardless of how many of your own you want to carry down with you!"

Bandit 3 Grapple vs. Bandit 2:
Helgash charges the mounted bandit, demanding his surrender. As he swings at the man, he misses, and just barely manages to no cave in the skull of bandit on his knees.
The bandit Baelin is pursuing continues to flee, even managing to put a little extra distance behind him. The other horses starting to slow a little.
Meanwhile, that mounted bandit in the trading post nearly gets bucked off the saddle as his mount makes it obvious to all it doesn't want to be inside the walls anymore. Doing what it wants, and not what the bandit wants, the horse makes a break for the open door, with bandit along for the ride.
The bandit struck by his former ally launches himself off the ground, leaping up and grabbing a hold of his still mounded ally. His legs are hanging down, feet dragging the ground beside the horse as it gallops out the door.

Baelin senses the man is a better rider than he and changes his tactic.

Standard to dismiss Eidolon
"You were given your chance!" - Helgash roars as he swings again his massive hammer towards the rider, with surprising reactions for someone of his size.
Korren swings the stock of his weapon at the fleeing bandit, "No you don't!"
When Korren's swing gets hung up on the door, he again snarls in frustration and brings the weapon to bear on the, newly, fleeing bandit.
