Finally within flanking position with Mordred, and realizing the lack of luck the two are having with this creature, Steinolf swings out only using his longsword.
Steinolf also misses.
Up next, Garrasay!
Gritting her teeth through the pain but stuck between the two creatures, Gavinia drops back to a more defensive stance and strikes again.
Garrasay growls as he whirls his flail about and tries to smash the green snake thing.
Grrrroooorrllll! he snarls in frustration as he contemplates that the flail might not be the best weapon to be using under these conditions as by it's nature it is difficult to control and tends to pull one off balance.
Garassay misses.
Gavinia misses.

Up next, Mordred!
Gavinia avoids the swipe from one of the creatures, but a blow from the other sends her collapsing into the snow.
"NOOOooo!" Mordred gives a shout as he sees Gavania go down. Attacking the nearst creature with wild swing hoping to the gods there is some way out of this.
Mordred misses.
Up next, Steinolf!
Steinolf’s eyes go wide as one of his companions go down. “Gavania!!! Blast it.... This ends now!”
Steinolf misses.
Up next, Garrasay!
Garrasay tries to get the attention of the thing on his left while Mordred and Steinolf take care of the one they have surrounded. Whatever these things were, he had underestimated their danger.
He switched the grip on his flail, freeing up his other hand. As the ball and chain whirled about, he expertly blended its movements with his own magical casting, blending a spell of protection for himself into the attack.
Although the flail fails to connect again, it does give him the opportunity to evoke his shield spell, hopefully warding him from harm.
Garassay misses.

Up next, Steinolf!
Steinolf moves up towards the one closes to him and attacks out.
“The only deaths that will be happening is yours!!”
Steinolf critically hits creature (yellow) and it falls to the ground unconscious.
Up next, Garrasay!
- If I cant attack please disregard the post.
Damn that hurt...
Spitting up blood after the creature hit his chest Morderd could feel a rib plunging into his lung. Frothing blood only confirmed what he already thought. I'm a dead man. barely holding himself upright even through the pain. Morde takes his greataxe and points it at the last ice creature. "That it, either you or me." (swift action challange). Spitting out blood on the ground, morde puts everything he has into his last attack knowing it could be his last.
- if its a evil fey it could be +2 more. crossing fingers.
-13 after attack
Mordred hits creature (green) but it is still up.
Up next, Garrasay!
Pressing forward, Garrasay swings with all his might to try and get the creature off his companions before it does even more harm. The situation is dire.
flail: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Despite the mounting pressure to save his companions, it is all he can do to simply stay on his feet as he slips and slides on the icy bank. "GRRRAAAAAAWR" his bestial howl of frustration fills the forest.
Garasay misses.
Gavinia, please roll a CON check. Subtract any damage taken. DC10.

A fit of coughing causes Morde to pause, wiping off the blood on his mouth he pulls out his throwing axe. Looking down at gavinia he cant tell if she stopped breathing or not.
-13 still for only taking a move action.
Up next, Steinolf!
Steinolf moves up confidently after felling the last creature.
With the creature standing in front of him now, Garrasay attempts to ensure that his attack hits, calling upon his arcane power to let the magic guide his hand, putting all his accumulated knowledge into casting the spell without lowering his guard.
A quick dodge almost puts him in the river as he loses his spell
And his flail thrashes about ineffectually as he tries to maintain his balance once again.

What do you do?
Garrasay snarls again "Ggggrrawwwwwll! Curse this snow and ice!"
He takes Petal and tosses it onto Mordred's shoulder. "Tend to his wounds."
Petal rustled indignantly for a moment eliciting a barked order from Garrasay "Just do it! RRrrrrr"
The little tangle of vines crawled down Mordred's arm and started plucking off all the berries from itself and placing them in Mordred's hand. There are a wide variety of berries on Petal resembling everything from strawberries and raspberries to blueberries and the like. "Eat those, they will stop your bleeding. I know nothing about healing. If anyone has any skill, help me tend to Gavinia. grrrrr."
He tries to assist anyone who knows what they are doing, otherwise he just gives it a try himself.
Mordred- disabled
Mordred waves away Petals and hand the berries to Garrasay, "We need the healer up, I can *cough* manage as long as we take it easy. give it to her. She is our only hope to get through this." with that Morde steadies himself.
Garrasay does what he can to help Gavinia. As soon as she is able, he has her eat the berries.
"rrrrrrr. We have no choice but to rest here for the day. Its too far back to town and too dangerous to continue on in our condition. We just have to hope that there are no fey about to torment us while we rest. We should move away from here though, the noise may have drawn some unwanted attention. rrrrggr"
“You’re right, we need to find a better place to camp. I will look for a place that is protected from the wind and snow.”
Mordred watches Stein and Garrasay search for another place to camp, wanting to help but every step was pain. Morde just rests. *cough*, Cough... leaning against a tree morde tries to look out for enemies to at least be some help.
however with the wind, snow and throbbing in his chest he knows he isn't much help.
After two hours, Gavinia starts to stir.
"Ughh.." She looks around blearily. "Ah, we all survived, thank Alseta".
She shakily stands, then casts on herself. "Alseta grant me the strength to continue fighting."
"I think we will need to rest a day or two before continuing. What happened in the battle? Does anyone know what sort of creatures those things were?"
"They were fey creatures of some type, I think. Those sort of creatures have not been in my woods before. At least I haven't seen them, what about you Garrasay?" Morde contunes to wait patiently while the Lady takes care of herself, knowing that when she way done it would be his turn. At least I hope...
Sitting down now after waiting for a few hours Morde tries not to drift off to sleep, he has heard that would be a bad idea with the type of injuries he sustained.
Her injuries now managable, Gavinia takes a closer look at her colleagues.
"Mordred, how are you still up? You should either be dead or resting." She rumages in her pack and removes various bandages and tinctures from a makeshift box.
"I have some experience with battlefield medicine. This should help you until tomorrow, when I can regain my spells."
She expertly applies bandages to the worst of Mordred's injuries, then checks that his bedroll is a sensible distance from the fire.
After finding a proper resting place for us, Steinolf will build a fire to help keep us all warm and then he will keep a look out for any possible troubles.
“I am not skilled with healing but I will help keep us warm and safe.” after building a fire he comes back to the group. “I am sorry that I did not see what was so obvious. I don’t know if its the snow or the fact of meeting a fellow Ulfen, but my eyes and mind have not been as sharp to see these traps. I will do better moving forward. I also think that if something seems like a trap we should try to spring it from a distance. Rest up, I will keep watch.”
During his watch he will half heartedly be looking for palm sized stones. Something of a little weight, but can be easily thrown.
Grrr. Would you help me forage for some berries during the day, I will need them for my magic. It was summer just a short while ago so though they may be frozen now, there should still be berries to be found under the snow. Rrrrr.
Garrasay takes his watch in order
The next day Garrasay memorizes two castings of goodberry and then forages through the snow.
Casting his spells, he produces and provides them to the most wounded first.(max of 8 to a person)
At daybreak, Gavinia prepares her spells and casts them both on Mordred.
--
Morde has a restless night, not seeming to find a comfortable. he sleeps when told, but otherwise suffers stoically.
"Thank you for your help, Gavinia." and nods his thanks towards Garrasay as one warroir to another.
"mmmmmrrrrrgg. Its true that the lady's life is in danger, but of what use are we if we are dead? Those ice snakes were formidable foes and it was not without some luck that we managed to defeat them. If we had been in any rougher shape it would have been a disaster.
The prudent choice would be to make sure we are fit to travel. aaaaAAarrrgggh.
The snow falls continuously as you are setting up camp and tending to everyone's wounds for multiple days. The temperatures never seem to get lower than current and the weather never seems to change. Luckily no encounters occur during your time camping.
The date is 4713 AR on Fireday, 20th Earstus at 8:00 am - current moon cycle: first quarter
The location is The Border Wood - Trail
“Before we cross I would like to see if the ice on the water is safe enough for us to travel across.” pointing to the water under the ice, “If the ice were to break and one of us went under, the current would pull us down river and no doubt drown and freeze.”
“Looks safe to me.” Steinolf continues across the frozen water.
Steinolf, roll an acrobatics.
"Wait!, Morde quickly calls out when Steinolf crosses." Morde gets his rope out; cursing himself for not thinking about it sooner. "we should tie to each other before crossing." whipping his rope out as fast as he can. silently groaning at the soreness of his ribs. he will try to throw one end to stein.
I don't know what is the point of this though, the bandits have probably had their way with the poor miadien.
Steinolf begins walking across as he would normally cross a road. As he is on the frozen water he hears Mordred call out to him. “What’s up?”
