Concious of the press of bodies in the growing melee, Skane hunkers behind his shield and swings again at the Taskmaster with his battleaxe;

Wesh collapses.
Skane's axe remains thirsty as it sings through the air, missing its intended target.
Bandit Archer 3 creeps forward, looking for new targets seeing the cleric slumped down. Sighting Rianna, he draws and looses. He readjusts his aim, seeing as the shot goes wide.
ranged attack vs Rianna:
Bandit Archer 4 stays out of the melee, trying to pick out targets. Too far away to notice Rianna's dancing, he spots Dieredon and fires of arrows in quick succession. The swirl of melee throws his aim off and misses both shots.

The Taskmaster facing attacks from both knight and fighter steps behind the line before uncorking a bottle and gulping it down.
Half-orc 4 licks his lips before trying to send Rianna to the other side. He thinks of a more colorful name for his axe as it claims another, perhaps.

damage vs Rianna:
Bandit Thug 2 becomes wary of the ranger's attempt to flank him and cautiously steps back, facing a fellow shield fighter he lashes from behind his shield. He tightens his weapon grip as he fumbles again on the attack.
defensive attack vs Skane:
As Wesh slumps down, pierced by an aimed arrow, the smoking rocket sputters and explodes in a deafening boom. The smoke clears revealing a soot covered cleric and his bodyguards.
The Sect Cleric starts to speak and chant, and soon you feel the blessings of Wesh's spell wane and disappear. His bodyguards remain beside him, stunned by the blast's force.
Sect Cleric casts.
Dieredon will five foot step to U13 to press the attack on Bandit Thug 2 with a Power Attack, and stay adjacent to Skane.

Pressing after their challenge and looking for an advantage, Betony tries to time her swing with Thistledown trying to grab the Taskmaster's leg.
At least distracted, Betony attempts to finish him off.
"We will finish you! So keep drinking," she yells

Dieredon's blade runs through the thug cleanly and the man falls dying.
Betony and Thistledown attempt the takedown on the Taskmaster but both attempt are shy of any success.

Round 5 Location: [/b]U14[/b]
Skane winces as the red haired bandit king's arrow pierces through his calf. The Northman grits his teeth, snapping the arrow in half and bulling towards the Sect Cleric with a oath of blood and death upon his lips and urging his fellow fighters to follow;
"ÉG er Skane Ingvarrsonn og ÉG hafa skera út a rauður plógfar til gera minn öxi syngja á þinn blóð haried húsbóndi! ÉG munu ekki vera neitun! With me! With me bróðir alfur og systir klungur!

The Northman's charge catches the Sect Cleric by surprise as he is bitten by axe. I will make you suffer a thousand fold, wretch., he sputters between gasps of pain.
Bandit Archer 4 sees Dieredon as prime as he runs and surrounds the elf before loosening an arrow from a short distance. He hits the elf in the back, forcing the elf to decide his target.

Bandit Archer 3 approaches from the flank as he sees Dieredon unengaged, free from the swirl of melee. Taking aim, he draws and fires. He misses, but vows to do better.

power attack vs Betony:
Half-Orc 4 sees his chance and surrounds Betony, thinking to add another notch to his greataxe. With no shield to save her now, the greataxe bites hard into the gnome's torso. He pauses awhile, the task of naming his greataxe getting monumental by the round.

The Sect Cleric steps away from Skane, he pulls out a bottle before unplugging and chugging its contents.

The Scoutmaster looks on to the leader, waiting for something.
The leader calls out..
Hey! Still wanting to fight? We have more men than you. Fresh and ready. Put down your weapons and we would see you walk out of here alive. He waits, with bow drawn and aimed.
Skane stops for a second, blood from those around him and his own fleck his arms and armour and steps backwards down the stairs to view the bandit king . He listens to the leader impassively, nods slowly, then shouts a reply;
"You ask a Northman to give up his arms flame hair... It is you and your weak southern curs and pigboys who should surrender! The fate of those who do not is simply... THIS!!!!"
With that he cleaves the legs of the cultist priest from under him:

The cleric crumples from the vicious hacking received. The cultist bodyguards cry in shock, resolved to avenge their fallen master.
The Bandit King gives a quick whistle, furious seeing his careful plans dashed, he stands on overwatch waiting for a clear shot. Seeing the emergence of a new combatant firing at his men, he becomes unsure of his current position.
The Scoutmaster adopts a similar action, waiting for the moment he can send an arrow up the Northman's backside.
A magical bolt haphazardly flies through the air before striking Bandit Archer 4 between the scapula with a hissing vapor on impact. The culprit keeps his distance as he views his handiwork.
Bandit Archer 4 jarred by the attack runs hard, trying to regroup with the bandit king.
Bandit Archer 3 turns towards the newcomers, readying his bow, firing a warning shot at the woman.

Cultist 1 slips to pincer Skane and lashes powerfully with his blade. He clumsily attacks clumsily, making it easy to dodge.

Silar, staggered by the arrow wounds, fears for his life and quickly reaches a cure potion in his pouch and drinks it .
A bloodied and battered Skane grins at the young woman as she joins them.
"Skäne “Countless” Ingvârssonn they call me. This here is Dieredon, an alfur swordsman... Seems we got some mutual foes here, and your arrival was pretty timely lass...Still plenty of these curs to go round though har-har!"
A pleasure, my lady. Stick close, and you will be wearing diamonds as big as door knobs!
Rosslyn giggles to Dieredon's comments.
"Rosslyn. Rosslyn the Black. Just the hair, nothing bad. Maybe we should try to make sure your friends are all right, first?"
The Scoutmaster and the bandit leader double move past the staggered Silar. Glancing past, the red haired leader makes a cutting motion across his neck as he passes by.
Round 8
Skane glugs back a potion vial retrieved from his belt then sets his shield and jaw before moving back down the stairs in a combat stance until stopping just after the group of his fallen comrades;
The bandit group seems eager to leave the area, the leader leading the way. Each of them glances at the butchered sentries as they past by.
Bandit Archers 3&4 noticing the spellcaster recovering from the earlier fletching stop mid-way and tries to put him down for good. The man shudders as both arrows find their mark.

The Taskmaster looks about to finish off the riddled spellcaster but changed his mind and runs down the trail towards the river. His underling, the half-orc brawn follows suit and disappears down the trail.
Dieredon rushes to Bjorn's fallen body and grabs any healing potions that he may have with an eye towards pouring one down Betony's throat immediately.He yells back to Skane.
We need to save the Brambleknight before she expires. Countless, take the other potion from Rianna for healing others.
Rosslyn raids Rianna's body, upon learning that she has a healing potion. "Who needs this most? The gnome?"
I have the Gnome covered - get to the Human Cleric Wesh!
Rosslyn rushes over to Wesh's side to administer the potion.
I am doing the same for betony...you can roll Randall.
Skane will lumber over to Silar to assist the staggered spellcaster back towards the relative safety of the group;
"koma stríðsmaður vinur , tengja okkur og vera öruggur! Þú ert fleiri af a nálapúði af stigamaður ör en minn skjöldur! Har!"
koma stríðsmaður vinur , tengja okkur og vera öruggur! Þú ert fleiri af a nálapúði af stigamaður ör en minn skjöldur! Har! = Come brave friend, join us and be safe! You are more of a pincushion of bandit arrows than my shield! Har!
