Mulray pulls to a stop "Ho boy. How we doin this? Should we find a good place to fight, and I can lure them to you. Maybe?"
"And I can plant a spike or two to give ya a couple fake hills to hide in if needed."

"I'm gonna sack out."
"You aren't seriously debating whether to rest after the effort of making a paragon of necrotic power your middenskipper, are you?"
Mulray scans the area. "Ah!" He sprints toward Vordakai then aims.
Mulray slowly circles the temporarily blinded Vordakai for the best angle as he fires another two arrows.
Mulray resists the urge to rush forward. He draws his bow and fires.
Mulray moves to Arv's side - sees the slight rise and fall in his chest, then scans the surroundings to be sure there are no more threats. "Hang in there Arvander. You're gonna--" Mulray stops short, then points ahead "Heads up! We've got something else ahead... shadow figure in the fog!"
Mulray realizes he is fighting the wrong cyclops "Oop... pardon me... ", and abandons it for the one just thrown his way. He effortlessly slips past their defensive swipes, and cracks Arv's dance partner with all his might.
Seeing Arv getting batted around nearby, Mulray drops from the carriage. He scrambles under the cyclops's guard, and cracks him with a shoeing hammer.
"Ho!" Mulray pulls the carriage to a stop, and winks at Karou. "We can handle one!"
"Karou. Go hide" The little monkey hops off the carriage to hide in the weeds.
"Think I'll turn us around.... so if we need to haul outta here, we'll be ready." Mulray starts turning the carriage around to face downhill.
Mulray knocks on the cab with his heel to get the attention of his riders...
"I.. I'm moving up... I don't want to lose them."
Mulray knows something is wrong. Arv walking toward danger... sure. But doing it without blathering in purple prose? He nocks an arrow, and tries to get a clear shot on the mysterious lurker.
Mulray nods at the request for assistance... he sends his attendant, Edry to fetch his riders and spike. He then moves to the rubble - placing both hands against the stone. He moves from one possible location to another until he finds citizens trapped underneath.
Mulray sheepishly submits to Karou climbing up his back, and smacking him repeatedly with his own hat. "Alright, alright... so it was him."
After planting the iron spike in the ground, Mulray jumps back onto the drivers bench and urges his horses back to the fight. Karou squawks about Arv again.
Mulray leans into the wind as the carriage picks up speed.
Stabilize it! I'm on my way back!
"Arv?! Wh- over there?" Karou nods excitedly. Mulray looks for a nice spot of land, pulls the carriage to a stop, and hops down while rummaging through his gear for an iron spike.
"Alright folks, I am going to keep you hidden inside an illusory hill until it is safe."
"Hold on to your stomachs, folks!" Mulray picks up speed through the thinning crowd and over the bridge at the edge of the settlement.
Round 2 As he tries to weave through those fleeing with his carriage full, Mulray risks a glance back. "Ack! Think we can make it to the bridge, buddy?" Karou continues to bounce repeating the same squawking sound.
Mulray scans the streets - plotting his course.
Round 1 After dropping the four swords a stone's throw from the beast, Mulray searches for injured citizens among the rubble.
Karou squawks pointing at the beast... "I know, I know... leave it to those who can fight." Karou grumbles frowning with arms akimbo, then sticks out his tongue. "Scared? Heh... no, no... what am I going to do? Shoot it with an arrow? What is an arrow going to do to that thing?"
Mulray was just about to slip away from the formal festivities when the thundering crash and screams were heard. He bolted for his carriage, and drove toward the commotion. Keeping an eye out for allies on foot who could stand to get there more quickly, he also looked ahead for what they were to face....
He looked over at Karou hopping excitedly next to him.
I think my followers are going to be running my transportation/distribution business. I'll start with a caravan crew for each of my six followers = 24 hires and six stable-like structures. (= about 12k according to the downtime)
Cosario:
They are "family" (Gasparo, Balfori, and Meeks) who went up against a gang tied to the Sczarni in the Rag's End district of Magnimaar... looking for a new beginning. As for loot, I will try to get my hands on 2 iron spikes of safe passage, and an instant bridge. Not sure about my cohort. Possibly Edry Meeks...
Round 9 "Go get em..." Mulray makes his way around the platform while Karou drops from the roof. The little monkey gets behind the Stag Lord and bites at him.
Round 8 Mulray zips up the stairs to the platform. He sees the first target in range, and fires.
Round 7 Mulray shrugs... "Well don't come runnin to me if a zombie chews your legs off..."
Round 6 Mulray fires on Jex... "Hold it!"
Karou goes after the fleeing bandit...
Round 5 Mulray reaches Karou at the corner...
Round 4 "Throw down your weapons and strip!" Mulray yells at the surrendering bandit as he runs past him. He follows Karou as the little monkey scrambles around the perimeter.
Mulray ducks under the gate, and follows Karou. He fires an arrow at the bandit in Karou's path as the little monkey darts past.
Mulray positions to get a shot at a bandit above, and fires from an awkward angle. "Ha.. see that, lil buddy?" Lil Karou stands agog watching Xi'tir tearing into the big man.
Mulray leads the horse closer to the gate, and takes his bow and shoeing hammer from the saddle. He readies his bow, and prepares to cover those entering.
Karou peeks out, and sees Xi'tir rushing in. He follows behind baring teeth and wild-eyed.
"Regarding that joining up and not dying thing... Should we just go ahead and come on in now?"
Mulray dismounts and stows his weapons in the saddlebag opposite the one in which Lil Karou is hiding.
hi guys. I'm getting caught up today.
"Oh I'll be just fine, thank you. Just gonna rest my eyes for a bit."
Mulray tries to shake off the unique flavor of agony from the ward.
Mulray leaves his hammer, and scrambles around to come up behind the remaining enemies. He pulls his hoof pick from his vest as he runs.
Mulray tries to keep his head... He swings forcefully at the little devil-thing.. too forcefully. The hammer slips from his grip.
Round 7 "Blargh! They're in my head!" Mulray starts beating his forehead bloody with his bow.
Mulray palms his bow, and draws his shoeing hammer as he and Karou bolt forward to either side of the bandit next to Xi.
Round 4 Mulray moves to the wider trail, and sets up on one side of the intersecting, narrower path.
He then motions for Karou to come a little closer.
Round 3 Mulray follows behind Chi - trying not to step in bandit, and makes monkey noises... telling Karou to post up across the trail.
