With his companion moving off to Jinjer's aid, Brodgar changes his intended flanking maneuver into a bee line for the gnome who felled his companions. He takes a quick, stumbling slash at his opponent as he makes his way through the underbrush.

Round 2:
With his initial target in melee, the halfling trudges around the tree to get Stilgar in his sights, sending a bullet speeding his way. Seeing it coming, Stilgar raises his shield and the bullet puts a solid dent in its surface.
The tall human likewise switches targets, sending an arrow Brodgar's way, but it merely bites into the inquisitor's shield.
Stilgar barrels along, closing the gap between himself and Jinjer.
The now grotesquely muscled dwarf pushes through the brush and sends his hammer hurtling toward Brodgar. The intervening undergrowth causes him to misjudge the throw and the weapon plunges into the snow a full foot short of its target.
Magnus lies on the road, mumbling incoherently.
Jinjer backpedals away from her attacker, but the snow does not allow a swift retreat and he jabs at her. The fist connects, knuckles bouncing off her forehead. Once she has her distance, she snaps off a shot, sending an arrow plunging into the man's broad chest. Were it not for his thick layer of muscle, he'd be sporting a punctured lung.
The gnome, unarmored and without weapon in hand, exercises the better part of valor, falling back from Brodgar's advance and pulling a pair of throwing knives from his belt.
Brodgar heads for the gnome, his magically enhanced speed allowing him to charge through the brush, across the snow, and plant his axe into the gnome's chest. He gives a squeal and collapses.
Gaius kneels down next to Tarrana, the small swirl of wind busily coating her in snow dissipates, as if insulted by his intrusion.
Grumbling Tarrana stands up and fills the air with warmth, though in the dwarves hearts it is the fire of the forge and the pounding of an earthquake.
"I hate tea."
Round 2, con't.:
Tarrana stands, the light layer of snow she was covered in wisping away into steam as she invokes her magic. The spell inspires and invigorates the party.
The gap-toothed brute closes on Jinjer once more, throwing a left hook she just manages to block with her bow.
The second dwarf lobs one of his hand axes at Brodgar, his nearest foe, but again the inquisitor is able to deflect the incoming projectile with his shield.
Stimulated by a sudden but familiar warmth, Stilgar steps towards the abnormally muscular human, swinging his warhammer.

Jinjer sidles around and draws and fires another arrow, point blank at the gap-toothed thug trying (and succeeding) to give her a concussion!

Round 3:
The halfling whirls another bullet at Stilgar and striking him in the side, but its impact is absorbed by the cleric's mail.
The tall human fires again at Brodgar, who gets another arrow in his shield but remains unharmed.
Stilgar moves up on Jinjer's barrel-chested assailant. His hammer thuds solidly in the man's side, only the fellow's quick reflexes keep him from having the weapon crush his ribs. Profanities spew from his mouth as he turns to concentrate on this new foe.
The grotesquely muscled dwarf closes on Brodgar, pulling a warhammer from his belt raising it overhead and bringing it down in a savage arc. Brodgar catches the brunt of the blow on his shield, sliding back a few inches under the force of the hit.
Jinjer continues to retreat from her opponent, and he snaps out with another jab. However with Stilgar pressing the attack, he fumbles his footing and she's able to duck away from the strike. In one fluid motion she draws an arrow, sets it to the string, lets fly, and plants the missile in the man's neck. He gives a gurgle, takes a half step toward her, fists raised, and then falls face first into the snow.
Brodgar retaliates against his opponent, his axe slicing a large gouge into the mutant dwarf's swollen flesh, which bleeds readily enough.
Gaius stays where he is, turning to Magnus and shaking him fervently by the shoulders until he awakens.
Magnus quickly gathers his senses and assesses the situation. He stands up and brings out his crossbow and begins to load it.

Just so I understand as I haven't been payin close attention. Snow counts as hindering terrain and that little h up in the upper let corner is a halfling archer?
Ah well that makes my round 3 simple. I would probably have used that action to wake him but I would in getneral prefer to make that decision.
Ah well that makes my round 3 simple. I would probably have used that action to wake him but I would in general prefer to make that decision.
Tarrana walks into the snow and calls out to the halfling.
"Come here! I demand to see your eyes before they melt from your head!"
End of Round 3:
Tarrana makes her demand of the halfling, who jerks his head up at the sound of her voice, eyes locked on the oracle as if nothing else exists.
The stocky brawler lies in the snow, twitching slightly.
The axe-wielding dwarf hucks his second axe at Brodgar, who deflects yet another attack. Frowning, he pulls a battle axe from his back, takes a two-handed grip and prepares for melee.
Tossing Jinjer a curt nod, Stilgar turns his attention towards the dwarf that had just drawn a melee weapon and closes in on him, so as to keep him off Brodgar's back.
Magnus steps to avoid the approaching halfling (a15), then fires a bolt into its back as it gets closer to Tarrana.
Jinjer returns Stilgar's nod as she readies another arrow and looks around for a target. When she finds one, she fires.
Wary of the second dwarf's approach, greataxe in hand, Brodgar quickly calls upon Baal's protection to further shield himself from harm. The distraction of prayer is great enough that his axe-arm falters in its reply to the grotesquely-muscled dwarf's last attack.
Round 4
Gaius plows through the deep snow and launches a bullet that plows a furrow through a drift.

The halfling plows his way through the snow towards Tarrana, according to her command, getting as close as he can this round.
The tall human fires his bow at Jinjer once again, his arrow thudding into her armor, but the point is denied flesh.
Stilgar moves shoulder to shoulder with Brodgar, supporting him against the attacks of his dwarven opponents.
The swollen dwarf lashes out at Brodgar again with his hammer, and again the inquisitor manages to knock it aside.
Jinjer returns fire on her attacker but misses, her arrow thudding into the tree in front of him.
Brodgar swings back at his attacker, but is off-balance, allowing the dwarf to sidestep his axe.
Assuming Jinjer isn't shot between the eyes, she will draw another arrow and fire at the tall human who is doing his best to kill her!
Round 4
Gaius again plies his sling. Playing an over tall David to the tall human bowmans undersized goliath. he results continue to be underwealming.

Round 5:
The halfling, regaining his senses, pulls a knife from his belt and tosses it underhanded at Tarrana, catching her in the hip.
The tall human send another shot winging Jinjer's way, but misses by a hair's breadth.
Stilgar moves in to engage the axe-wielding dwarf, taking an overhand swing with his warhammer. The dwarf parries the hammer aside, avoiding a skull crushing, but the weapon thuds painfully into his shoulder.
The warped dwarf swings his hammer at Brodgar, but his god-blessed armor easily deflects the attack.
Jinjer returns fire on the tall man, her arrow once again biting into the tree he's using as cover.
Brodgar returns the attack against his opponent, but slips in the snow.
Gaius sends his sling bullet hurtling towards the tall man at the far end of the clearing, but his shot is foiled by a low-hanging branch.
Magnus maneuvers for a clear shot and then fires upon the halfling, catching him solidly in the side with the bolt.
Tarrana raises her hands and sends sheets of flame at her target. Being hip deep in snow does little to assist him in avoiding the flames, and he takes the full brunt of their heat. The snow at least will provide some small relief as his burned body drops unconscious into it.
The axe-wielding dwarf swings at Stilgar, the blade biting into his mail and drawing blood.
Gritting his teeth as he is caught by the dwarf's blow, Stilgar retaliates with a swing of his warhammer.
Attack:
Damage:
Becoming increasingly flustered, Brodgar recovers from his misstep and brings his weapon up for an overhead blow, calling on Baal to convert his protection into raw power so that he can finish his foe and come to Stilgar's aid.

Magnus loads another bolt, then attempts parley by another means. "Stand down, you are outnumbered. "
Round 6
Gaius wades through the deep snow trying to reach the embattled dwarves.
Thanks!
In that case.
Round 6
Gaius pushes through the snow while carefully removing a vial from his belt pouch.
Jinjer feels the human's arrow sizzle by her head and she draws another arrow and fires, muttering to Kurnan for guidance.
"Ow!" Tarrana exclaims as she removes the small dagger from her thigh. Moving closer to the mainfight Tarrana looks to lend some form of support to her allies.
Round 6:

The tall human fires again at Jinjer, the arrow whizzing past her to plunge into the snow. Then he begins to move away from the battlefield. You note he has snowshoes on his feet, making his progress over the snow easier.
Stilgar's attack is more on target this time, impacting the dwarf's helm with a loud clang. His eyes glaze slightly as he staggers back, but he doesn't fall.
The misshapen dwarf swings at Brodgar again, his hammer bypasses the shield and crashes painfully into the inquisitor's chest.
Jinjer's shot grazes the tall human's thigh, he gives a curse as his blood spatters the snow with crimson drops.
Brodgar curses his opponent and brings his axe down in a vicious arc, biting through the dwarf's boiled leather and deep into his shoulder. His opponent gives a groan and drops. Brodgar begins churning through the snow in a semi-circle around the remaining dwarf.
Gaius maneuvers through the snow, pulling out a flask as he does.
Magnus attempts to get the opponents to stand down. While the human appears to be moving off, the dwarf stubbornly continues to press the attack.
Tarrana removes the knife and moves closer to the melee.
The dwarf swings at Stilgar again, his axe biting a notch into Stilgar's shield rim.
Magnus moves up closer to the dwarf , tracking slowly through the snow.
"Enough!" Stilgar growls as he swings at the other dwarf.
Attack:

Not wanting to let anyone get away, Jinjer quickly draws another arrow and fires again. But she curses under her breath as the arrow misses the fleeing human.
