** spoiler omitted **
Kana moves to the next corner and shoots at the green insect again.
No change. IF he would have hit:
The Rose Quarry- -
Human Claw Undead vs. Gauntlet - Damage
Dwarf moves towards Kana - HP= 2/20
Round 3
Electric Eye moves to the edge of the ash cloud to the left of the tree, waiting for the cloud to disperse before entering.
Viorr also charges to the edge of the ash cloud to attempt to strike the withdrawing soldier. His blades meet with no resistance though so it's fairly clear, the foe withdrew farther into the cloud than he first thought.
Kana moves to the corner to see if she can pick off anyone attempting to retreat out of the cloud. She sees no soldiers but she does see undead converging in between the buildings and slow walking to the one on her right. Her shot lands in the eye of one of the foes, appears to have once been a dwarf. It does not fall but it turns its baleful gaze towards you and starts to head in your direction!
---
What was once three becomes two undead approaching. They attack. The one on Gauntlet, is a special one, one of the ones you fought before being defeated, it wields a rusty scimitar. Its sword schreeches on Gauntlet's hide but aside from scratches does no real damage.
The Dwarf attacks with glasslike claws. Its whole body is in fact covered in glass. It hits and Pink-Eye is scratched.
In the doorway appears a male dwarf he casts a spell at Pink-Eye.
---
At that moment, the ash cloud blows out leaving Frank, Sharon, and Zabeth with a clear vision of just where the foes are still arrayed. Walking towards the south with purpose, an undead creatures has appeared on the field.
In the distance on the other side of the quarry, soldiers ally and run in your direction as well...
Pink eye bends and gores the undead attacking him with his horns.
As Aerin and her not-just-borrowed horses come running by, Frank decides to hitch a ride and find out what the heck she's up to.
Managing not to embarrass himself, Frank very quickly jumps onto a passing horse. He also reloads his crossbow while shouting at Aerin "Where are we going?"
Gauntlet would smile if his face could do it justice. Reaching out without a word, he activates the wand hidden in the buried sheath of his mechanical left arm...
...and easily grasps the back of rusty scimitar with a flash and a sizzling POP!
"Metal beats bone every time creature."

Zabeth moves up next to Viorr.
She mutters an unintelligible phrase as her eyes grow dark... "Droba vornarlin..."
She points to the nearest foe, then takes a combat ready stance.
Talia will move around the corner and throw a bomb at the purple thing closest to her...
The Rose Quarry -
The Grig heads towards the second fire as Frank mounts one of the horses.
Zabeth casts her spell, she can see her target's eyes turn towards his nearest ally and she knows that her spell has been successful.
Talia meanwhile hurls a via at another foe and though she misses, the vial still does damage, causing the man to cry out in pain and frustration.
Aerin - GO!
Group 3 (Purplish)
Gateway Group (Bright Green) - Group 1 (RED) - Garrow
The New Group - Stealthy (Viorr, Dev, EE, Kana)
Meridian
The Balance of Leadership + Undead
The New Group - NOT so Stealthy (Frank & Creatures, Sharon, & Zabeth)
Group 2 (Dark Green)
Pink-Eye attempts to gore the undead but his horns glance off of its glass-like hide. Pink-Eye is at 10 HP BTW, I will assume he was at 1/2 of his HP due to the capture.
Gauntlet's strike sizzles the zombie but does not bring it down!

Aerin nudged the horses with her knees, weaving them expertly between the two trees, the ruined building, and then turning them onto the road between the buildings, the narrow confines forcing the horses into a single-file line.
Once the lead horse was headed down the straight stretch of road, she gave it's reins a last whip to send them careening through the crowd.
This was the part of her plan that made her both exited and nervous. She unslung her grapple, looped it's anchor knot around the saddle horn, hopped up to balance on the horse's back, and jumped.
She twisted neatly like a cat, seeming to hang in the air as the horses charged forward beneath her. She landed on a horse near the middle of the pack.
The Rose Quarry -
Hearing and seeing the horses bear down upon them, the male dwarf and the female human duck into one of the buildings to allow the horses to rush by!
Aerin from her new vantage point can see that the prisoners are to her left while the foes entered the building to her left. The prisoners are harried by one undead each.
The lead horse bears down on one of the undead, one that was headed south anyhow. The undead dwarf is smashed and falls!
Soldier Attempt to Mount Acrobatics
Purple 3 - Shoot Viorr
Bright Green 3 - Shoot Zabeth
Red Attacks Purple - Flail
Garrow drinks a potion and turns invisible.
One of the soldiers drops his weapon and attempts to mount the speeding horse but it is too fast and he is merely knocked aside.
The next soldier retreats holding his weapon before him as his bow broke and charging three tough fighters alone he sees as unwise.
Anotehr soldier does take aim at the maximum range of his bow and fires at Viorr. The elf's armor absorbs the blow.
The Mounted fighter also fires but this time at Zabeth, "Die witch!" But his shot is awry.
The soldier that Zabeth commanded charges at the soldier that backed up and he swings his flail. But the defending soldiers armor holds, "Witch indeed, Gahk is possessed by magic!" yells out the soldier on the business end of the flail.

Group 2 (Dark Green)
EE lunges ahead, eager to seize the moment capitalizing from the stampede. He throws a deep thrust at the opponent, trying to end him quickly and even the numbers.
Viorr follows EE, striking at the opponent the warforged stabbed.

Hearing the horses coming and the two enemies come inside to avoid them, Meridian rushes out of her hiding spot. Seeing one right in front of her, she attempts to shove him back out into the stampeding horses.
Seeing the caravan is about to get some company, Dev takes the opportunity to remain focus, otherwise helping his eyes peeled for the prisoners...
Kana watches the stampede led by Aerin and is quite impressed.
She then takes a step back into cover, but not before firing at the halfling.
Edit:
The Rose Quarry -
Kaela Attack

Round 4:
Electric Eye and Viorr makes short work of the next soldier who stands in their way.
Meanwhile Dev regains Psionic focus atop his Mount.
Kana sees the female human warrior approaching her and fires! Her shot catches the woman in the right shoulder deftly avoiding her shield.
The woman rushes Kana and swings her long sword in a wide arc but the blade catches the concrete of the building instead of Drow flesh.
Aerin catches out of the corner of her eye movement but is too focused on the location of the prisoners to register exactly what happens though the thud of her horse striking something is undeniable. Dev and Frank see a male dwarf fly out of the building, off balance, he is struck by Aerin's mount.
The dwarf takes a heavy hit from the horse and in spite of it, manages to re-enter the entrance way cursing, he draws his weapon, "I knew we should have killed you despite what Garrow said!"
The female meanwhile draws a wand and unloads it at Meridian smiling wickedly.
Round 4:
Frank & Creatures, Sharon, & Zabeth - GO!
Group 2 (Dark Green)
Frank finds that he barely had time to finish cranking his crossbow before it's time to dismount again.
Hopping off with less speed and grace than he hopped on, Frank still manages to dismount without landing face first. He moves past some ruins that quickly fill with a cloud of ash as he gets into cover.
"Fly into the biggest building and help the prisoners!"
Zabeth dashes up behind Viorr still gripping her ribbonweave cane.
"I'll keep them from surrounding you, and provide healing when needed."
Her eyes go wide as the lead horse comes in sight.
"Are they coming this way?"
Talia let's out a string of curses that nobody would imagine Sharon even knowing much less using as moves next to Madam Zabeth.
She throws a bomb at the second guard straight ahead from her position.
With too many enemies too close to use her magic, Meridian turns to the woman with the wand, attacking her with a flurry of claws and teeth.
Pink eye again tries to gore the damn thing
Using another charge from his wrist-wand, Gauntlet reaches out again...
With another 'POP!' the skeleton in front of him sizzles again!
The Rose Quarry -
Frank dismounts behind enemy lines while his summoned creature heads into the building.
Zabeth provides back-up to Viorr and Electric-Eye as a bomb from overhead stikes the enemy on the left dead on, he screams in pain as it explodes on him, the vial also splashes onto the horse and the rider! The rider barely holds onto the reigns.
Guards on the other side of the horses fire a volley at Viorr, Electric-Eye, and Zabeth. Only EE is struck though the shot hits him in the faceplate.
Green Guard 11/14 - Ride Check
Horse HP = 17/20

Group 2 (Dark Green)
From her new steed, Aerin looped the rope of her grappling hook around the saddle horn, so it was now anchored to the lead horse and to the one she now rode. Then she reached out with the grapple and hooked the bars of the prison...
"You fellas looking for a ride?" an attractive woman with white-gold hair called from horseback through the open door of the prison.
I need my equipment Pink eye looks for his gear if no enemies persist if they do he attacks!
Wishing he could smile better, Gauntlet is already shaking his head at the woman's offer.
"You want me to ride that? Only if you want me to kill it by breaking its spine. I weight almost as much as the horse does. Unless that horse is magical or a dragon in disguise...or can you pull a wagon out of your pocket?"
He then turns to Pink-Eye.
"Go without me my friend. I will catch up. I had a potion somewhere..."
Gauntlet quickly attempts to break his foot chains...
...with little noticeable effect.
we leave together Gauntlet or not at all Pink eye says with vehemence.
Gauntlet shakes his head, and would sound sad if he could.
"You are a good friend Pink-Eye. However, common sense must not fit inside horns too easily. GO! I will follow...and If I survive I will come find you."
The Rose Quarry -
Aerin, Gauntlet, Pink-Eye, and Meridian
A woman's voice echoes into the ruined building, "You fellas looking for a ride?"
Aerin hears a few replies, "I need my equipment", replies a gravely voice.
Another, more monotone, clearly 'Forged, voice states, "You want me to ride that? Only if you want me to kill it by breaking its spine. I weight almost as much as the horse does. Unless that horse is magical or a dragon in disguise...or can you pull a wagon out of your pocket?"
"Go without me my friend. I will catch up. I had a potion somewhere..."
Pink-Eye smashes his undead foe in the face and the glass around its body shatters, showing the zombie like body within!
Gauntlet tries to break his chains once more to no avail.
The undead attack the cornered minotaur and warforged. Pink-Eye's foes once more fails to land a blow while Gauntlet's manages to scratch him this time around.
---
---
Both soldiers on the side of Viorr and Electric Eye leap through the charging horses to move away from being trapped between the foes and the horses.
From over the horses, a volley of arrows flies at Zabeth, Viorr and Electric Eye. Out of the volley only one arrow lands into EEs arm.

I am no common man! I am a servant of Balinor and I shall not be found a coward or disloyal friend who left in your hour of need!
When it's Pink Eyes turn he will gore another undead:
With the impossibility to reach any of the camp guardians through the wild horses, Big E decides to gain cover behind some of the ruins, thus avoiding further hits. He thinks he might hide there, with the possibility of ambushing anyone whio comes near when the stampede finally ends.
Dodging arrows, Viorr scurries south to join Kana.
Dev keeps his head on a swivel, looking for the first opponent to come into view, whether it's that dwarf who ducked away or someone else. When they do show themselves, or when the horse pack moves such that he can see, he'll let loose a Surge Blast.
force damage, + 2 splash
Meridian rushes past the enemy in her path, darting between the horses streaming past and into the building on the other side. Coming to an abrupt halt just out of reach of the armored skeleton inside the door, she hurls a bolt of fire at its back.
Wanna come for me little pie? Gotta take this before!
Kana takes a step back, continuing her dancing motions, and proceeds to lard the halfling with arrows.
She looks around in surprise as suddenly Viorr is next to her.
Ah, right in time fellow elf! I heard you do pest control? There's something for you!
Dev's blast knocks the dwarf backwards into the building, if he is not dead, he is at least unconscious.
Dev and Aerin see a reptilian creature dash between the horses to the other side, after a flash of light, her magical blast incinerates the creature keeping the Minotaur pinned down.
Viorr and Electric Eye maneuver to avoid becoming permanent resting places for arrows.
Kana steps back and fires at the female fighter scoring yet another hit with her shortbow!
The warrior steps forward into Kana swinging her blade and she misses by only a hair.
Meanwhile, Gauntlet's foe steps in and lands a strike! The warforged becomes immediately inert at the hit.
Kaela HP 11/33.

Mallora steps into the building further and into the mists looking for Garrow.
