Greataxe attack

Bite attack

Gritting through the pain, Jax once more materializes his hammer and slings it perhaps too furiously
action point
Fires yet another arrow.
Garroth fires two shoots at the elves hitting only air and emptying his clip as Jax again throws his hammer dropping one of the un mounted elves
The one reaming mounted elf fires at Garroth, two arrows slam into the monk
With a mighty blow Lethe sends her foe to the ground. He laughs as he lays on the ground bleeding out "Well fought, shifter" he gasps
Synatria and Annin finih off the last un mounted elf as Joyelle hits the last standing elf with an arrow. Haedric finishes him off however with his bolt and the last elf slumps to the ground as his horse bolts
Lethe gives the elf one last look over as the anger leaves her, doubling up in pain as her mind finally realises how injured her body is. Expecting the rest of the elves to finish her off she is more than a little surprised that when looking around there appear to be none of them around.
The others Her mind suddenly realises as it catches up with all the events half limping and half dragging her slashed leg she staggers over to where the rest of her companions headed.
In that case, I'll drink my potion of cure moderate wounds and use an application of blessed bandages.
Jax will also takes a potion of Cure moderate wounds.
He sees that the rebel engaged in single combat has survived, surprisingly enough. The Valenar certainly aren't known to be push-overs. Unfortunately she appeared to be the only one that was so lucky.
He turned to his fellow black caps" Search the bodies, take anything you think you can use, especially ammunition. We'll be underground for months, maybe more. If we don't scavenge from our enemies than attrition of our supplies will be the downfall of us all."
Jax then put on a face of concern and walked warily behind the only standing rebel, so as not to incite rage."I'm sorry for your loss Rebel." He said simply, as he waited for a reaction.
The kobold runs out of hiding. She smiles at the civet, stroking its fur, and then begins examining the bodies for supplies.

Lethe stands stalk still for a few moments untill she lets out a shriek/roar of anger and proceeds to take her greataxe to the nearest large rock. Smashing it again and again she releases a string of expletives that would make a Karranath drill sergeant blush. Finally after a few minutes of violence on the rock she slumps down having to use the greataxe to support her weight she crouches there panting for a few minutes before turning to Jax a look between mild puzzlement and general wariness on her face "And who exactly are you supposed to be?" she says in what is supposed to be aggressive and confrontational manner but in her present state just seems like bravado.
"Cyrans. We were sent to help the rebellion." Haedric continues to search the bodies.
Standing stern with his hands behind his back whilst Lethe has her outburst. He smiles simply and nods at Haedric's answer, His foot now resting on a fallen Valenar's chest. He searches the body absent-mindfully while introducing himself."My man here is right. If you don't mind such assumptions it certainly looks like you could use help, as could we." Dusting the dirt from his hand he took a confident step towards Lethe and Extended his hand"Jax is the name. After those explosions from the blast discs and that one of your own just a second ago we should probably move before any Valenar patrols decide to check us out." Offering a kind smile now "Care to lead the way local?"
The grey crested kobold looks up. "My name's Synatria..." She says. "I work for these idiots."
Lethe's face hardens as she learns who the group are and her voice takes on a hard tone. "I see." Is all she says before ignoring the offered hand and turning to head back the way she and her comrades had been fleeing before "My group dropped supplies when we were falling back we should probably retrieve them."
Cure moderate potion
Synatria gets up. "Do you have a problem with Cyrans or something?\" She inquires."
Lethe stops for a minute her hands clench and unclench and it is almost as if she is counting to ten. Taking a deep breath she turns back to the group "Sorry I'm not very good at dealing with other people that was normally Sailos's thing. They normally brought me along when they needed something hit hard."

Taking a deep breath she turns back to the group "Sorry I'm not very good at dealing with other people that was normally Sailos's thing. They normally brought me along when they needed something hit hard."
Synatria shrugs. "That makes two of us." She says calmly. "Except for the part about hitting hard. But I'm the only one here with any real sense, so they usually leave me alone." She gives Lethe a somewhat forced smile. "But I don't think they'll give you any trouble. Welcome to the team."
Garroth stands by impassively, reloading his crossbow. He looks at the rebel in an appraising manner, then just as quickly goes to searching the Valenar bodies. He will also take his kukri, and make sure all those seeming as if dead truly ARE dead. Of the captured gear, he'll only take one of the new potions of CMW.
Synatria shrugs. "That makes two of us." She says calmly. "Except for the part about hitting hard. But I'm the only one here with any real sense, so they usually leave me alone." She gives Lethe a somewhat forced smile. "But I don't think they'll give you any trouble. Welcome to the team."
Lethe actually gives a small genuine smile at Synatria "Thank you I'm Lethe by the way" The smile quickly fades as she try's to take stock of what her group was carrying that may be of use "Our base is three days journey from here So we should probably be leaving soon."
Synatria picks up three of the CLW potions and stuffs them in her pack.
She bends down to her civet, and murmers an incantation of healing over him.

Jax will also take a CLW potion and round up all of the potions from the fallen valenar, spreading them out equally among the Black Caps and the newcomer Lethe, so as not to over-encumber any one person. He smiles slightly at the rejection of the hand shake."Yes well...Lead the way oh hard hitting Lethe."
Lethe after acquiring any travelling gear that may be of use begins to lead the group back to her base
Following behind, cradling his crossbow, Garroth tries to keep his eyes peeled to ensure no one is following him or that this isn't all a part of an elaborate set-up ...
perception
Joy is quiet as she goes about the business of helping to search the fallen soldiers. None of her wounds seem very bad so she bandages them quickly and moves out with the rest. She keeps a wary eye out as they move, not wanting to get ambushed out here.
As you gather around, searching the dead, hunting up supplys from the mounts the buzzards start to gather. Your left with a few options, Do you hunt down the missing pack animals? Do you bury the dead? Do you hunt down the Valenar horses that ran? Where do you go to make camp? Do you head toward town, or out deeper into the wild first to try and throw off any trackers?
Lethe
You do not really know other cells. You only knew salios and his men. You heard brigewater has a Resistance cell lean by a half orc named Vols but that's 80 miles across open desert. Or you could head back toward griffins nest, they may not have found you out, maybe they just found you at random out here?
Lethe pauses briefly looking at the bodies of her friends. A part of her was telling her that there could be more valinor coming any minute.... but she couldn't just leave them lying like this. Calling out to the others "Could use all try and gather up some of the horses there is something I have to do first" She will then try and give them a somewhat proper burial.
Jax nod's solemnly understanding Lethe's motives and will move to search the immediate vicinity for any of the run away horses, but not so far as to spread the group farther than eye-sight apart.
Once this is down, Jax will busy himself with loading down the pack animals with as much of a light load as possible, so as to not slow the group down." I suggest we move now into the wilderness to lose any tracking parties."

Synatria turns to him. "Aren't Valenar supposed to know the wilderness? I thought that was the whole point of elves."

"Aren't Valenar supposed to know the wilderness? I thought that was the whole point of elves."
Jax can't help but smile" Well sure that could be true if you believe the hype but that same hype might also lead one to believe that the whole point of kobolds is to be cowardly fodder. And we both know that's not entirely true Synatria. The Valenar are most at home in there saddles, and if we stay well enough away from any of the wide horse trails, the dense forest will discourage any mounted force larger than we could handle."
The group has decided to travel with lethe back toward her cells homebase, a little run down Inn outside the town of griffin nest. It's a three day journey by road or the well traveled trail could be a week if you go the less traveled areas avoiding the roads.
Your left with a few options. You can hit the roads,or you can go across the less traveled wilderness, an unforgiven land but less likely to run across travelers or patrols. Your also left with the option of staying in full gear or hiding your military issued weapons and armor and going as commoners or hunters. The 3rd option is to use the headbands and the clothing armor and weapons of the valenar to pass yourselves off as a patrol. Lack of real riding skill by most of the group is one flaw with this plan.
"I say we go along the wilderness. I will be of most use there." Synatria says.
"Yes, the wilderness. Ought to use this wand for something."
"Agreed."
"Fine wilderness it is then." Lethe then turns to Synatria with a small smile "I hope your tracking is as good as you think it is little one."
"Fine wilderness it is then." Lethe then turns to Synatria with a small smile "I hope your tracking is as good as you think it is little one."
Synatria coughs. "Now, I never said I could track."
