The dryad leads the way further to where a small stream burbles amidst the trees. "Follow this brook for another two hundred yards or so and you should find the satyrs resting within the forest. They may sleep yet, or they may have woken for the day."
Silas casts Mage Armor on himself to make ready.
"Check it out Sindri, but try not to get into any trouble."
Sindri will roll his nice, knowing that this will be marked on his gravestone or sung in some den of debauchery."Yeah I know, but it was one hell of a rush, none of us really got hurt and it sure as hell sent the enemy into a state of disarray."
"We're not wandering around in the dark this time, so I'll back you up." Without further ado, Taejin will attempt to melt into the treeline and follow the brook forward, scouting out the area ahead.
Sindri and Hideaki move forward through the woods, following the brook for more than 200 yards before spotting three satyrs. Two appear to be asleep, while the third is sitting with its back against a tree, and a wineskin in its hands, from which is periodically takes a sip.
"So we sneak past the one that looks like it's drinking something, kill the sleeping ones and riddle,slash and otherwise destroy the drinking one? I could shroud myself with invisibility to get past him."Whispered Sindri.
"I think we let the sneaks get into proximity of the sleepers while the rest get into at least a range they can engage the awake one. The attacks on the sleepers should be the trigger of the assault. "
Sigfried himself would only nod in agreement with Lucius, not wanting to jeopardize their plan of attack with his large and clunky body. He would draw out his weapon, choosing at most to stand at the ready for when their gnomish scout returned for peeking in on their wicked enemies.
Lucius will more to BC 27.
When given the signal to approach their target, Sigfried will move to BG 25 as quietly as he can manage.
"Taejin, you go for the one straight ahead, I will go for the one near the drinker. Wish me luck." Whispered Sindri.
Sindri will focus in, concentrating on his surroundings. Disappearing out of sight and moving as the wind. Sindri will hop into the brook, using what strength he could muster to launch him up out of there, making a sharp turn he stops just under the treeline, he catches his breath remaining as still as he can.
Silas listens down the trail to detect when the fight starts.
He uses Wild Arcana and some of his mythic power to cast Expeditious Retreat on himself so he will be able to join the battle quickly.
Taejin will nod to the vanishing shadow gnome, wading through the undergrowth as quietly as he can to take up a position adjacent to his own target and, hopefully, hidden from the drinking satyr.
Sindri moves into position under cover of invisibility, while Hideaki uses more mundane means to slip into position. As he gets close though the goat-man wakes up.
Making his way closer, Sigfried would drop his stealth, moving to BH29 towards his first target. It was the beginning of his charge, slowly picking up in speed as he prepared to reach the first Satyr, hoping his allies could finish the others.
'Aw s!*%, need to act quickly.'
The Lone assassin, linger over his prey."No hard feelings, your time is up."Whispered the gnome to the sleeping Satyr. Pulling his arrow as tightly as he could, he fires it with all straight into the heart of the sleeping Satyr.
With his concentration broken by the attack, Sindri reappears to those with normal eyes.
Taejin will rush forward with speed he wasn't aware he had, aiming to strike the now-conscious satyr in the chest and drive the wind out of its lungs.
He will then attempt to follow up with a second strike as the satyr tries to inhale, aiming to keep the creature quiet long enough for Sindri to do his work.
Acting after the satyr ...
Lucius will fling a rock at Satyr 1.
Sindri fires an arrow at the heart of sleeping satyr. Some magical force slightly diverts the arrow reducing the damage it would normally deal, but a fountain of blood still erupts from its chest.
The satyrs limbs spasm, but the creature quickly expires.
In a burst of speed Hideaki charges the remaining distance to the first satyr, jabbing the creature with two swift strikes. The first attack hits without resistance, the second is diverted slightly reducing the strength of the blow. The creature gives a grunt as it comes fully awake.
Sig starts moving in to help.
Lucius flings a rock at the satyr next to Hideaki, but the missile misses the prone target.
Taejin moves with precision and grace, leaping from the ground to bring his feet to rest against a nearby tree trunk before springing off of the plant and targeting a strong kick at the satyr's leg joint. He flows into a short series of precise blows, each aimed to cause a muscle group to stiffen or a joint to lock in place for a moment, making the satyr a softer target when it managed to gathers its wits about it.
Hideaki pummels the satyr further, striking with all three attacks, while Sig continues to move in closer.
The third satyr stands, while bringing its pipes to its lips with a snarl. It lets out a trill of music and the sound is thick with magic.

shaken
a bit taken back by the eerie pipe music, Lucius barely keeps ahold of himself and continues to advance (to BE30), wrapping a hefty stick in his TK tendrils and flings it at the pipe player.
but it goes awry, snapping against a trunk.
The elf dashes into the clearing with the speed of a charging warhorse.
Using his enhanced speed he runs down the path to engage the last Satyr. (moving to BG40)
As the Satyr's music reaches Sindri's ears, he becomes filled with dread. Dropping his bow he takes off screaming like a bat out of hell.
The satyr at Hideaki's feet gives a vicious grin as the air shimmers around it briefly.
It looks much like the effect of a mage armor spell coming into effect, though it made no gestures nor spoke any words to create such a force.
The creature then stands up.
"Aggresion: You're music will not frighten me! File not found!"
As Sindri and Hideaki turn to flee in terror, the satyr next to Hideaki concentrates briefly, then wolves leap out from among the trees at Sig, teeth snapping, but none are able to get past his defense.
The satyr used a summon natures ally III, but was able to do so as a standard action, rather than the usual full round action.
Hideaki runs from the satyr, provoking an attack from the creature. It attempts to gore him with its horns, but misses the mark.
Silas uses a swift action to power up his katana via arcane pool.
Then he swings once at the satyr at BF39.
The strange wolves had suddenly appeared, the wyrwood fighting back against the creatures, sidestepping as best as he could to continue towards his true target. Still, he could no fully ignore the wolves, chopping his falcata down against the rabid foe.
Silas rushes forward, taking Hideaki's vacated location against the Satyr.
In a burst of speed, much like those of Hideaki earlier, the satyr on the south side of the brook rushes towards Sindri, a drawn dagger arcing towards his wooden form.
The creature then settles into an attack routine, stabbing again with its dagger and trying to gore with its horns, but both attacks miss.
Sindri continues to run off like a madman,"The mithral quarter has fallen, the Duergar are out to get us! Run run run!"
As Sindri flees in terror, the closest wolf snaps at his heels.
Lucius advances to BF 30 and launches a thighbone at the closer satyr engaging Sig.
shooting into melee
The thighbone bounces off the satyr's thick skin, dealing no damage to it.
The other satyr takes a step away from Silas, then pulls a vial from within a pouch and downs the contents. The scratches and bruises inflicted by Hideaki partially heal.
Hideaki continues to flee, and the others are unable to see him past the trees. The dryad however steps out in front of him, still some distance, and begins moving her arms in a circling motion. Her voice is soft, "Your companions will have need of you yet. Sleep for a brief time." A slight breeze kicks up around the human, picking up leaves in a mini twister. His eyes grow heavy.
Seeing how the enemy conveniently gave him space to cast freely, Silas uses Spell Combat to cast shocking grasp and he steps up and attacks.
and he is probably still holding that charge.
5' step after casting.
Hideaki tumbles to the ground as sleep overtakes him.
Silas steps towards the satyr as lighting course up and down his katana. The creature easily sidesteps the blow though.
Sigfried eye seemed to glow brighter as he closed in on one of his targets. His body turned hard, swinging with blade with inhuman force to try and strike a blow against the creature, again finding the nimble thing to dodge his blows.
The satyr easily sidesteps Sig's attack.
One of the wolves gives chase after Sindri, while the other two circle Sig, snapping their jaws, looking for an opening. The first one clamps its jaws on one leg, leaving gashes in the wyrwood.
The satyr attacks as well, with dagger and horns, adding another wound.
Sindri continues to flee, leaving the wolf on his tail an opening.
Lucius will charge to BJ36 and attack the target in BK37.
power attack, charge
Reacting with strange instincts, Sigfried did his best to deflect the blow, reacting with speed he never knew before. While unsuccessful though in defending, he found the speed had remained long enough for a swift horizontal counterattack.
