Garroth slams his fist into the nearest foe damaging it with his powerful blows. Scouty moves for a better shot and clears her weapon. The duel welders move to attack jax and garroth only to he deflected by weapons and armor. The archers fire at Valyn and Nomric only to fall short. Nomric and Valyn fire at the archers but fail to drop one.
Jax winces in pain at the bolts piercing his skin.
He attacks the same skeleton as Garroth, hoping to bring it down.
Edit: Nomric and Valyn took down one of the archers
Garroth doesn't let up. His hatred of the invaders just barely being kept back from overcoming him, he unleashes another flurry of blows at his target.
Unarmed Strikes (1d20+4=7, 1d20+4=16) Action Point for unarmed strike (1d6=3)
Ok Randal hasn't posted but were on round 3. If he does not post before everyone gets done I'll post his actions for him.
Slightly frustrated by the skeletons evasion of his previous swing, Jaxon puts all his power behind this overhand blow to the same one he hit with his first attack.
Garroth and jax bring one of the undead minions down as Randal fires off 4 shots into the other , The arrows sink home but case no damage. Scouty moves into a new spot and fires off a shot only to have it skip off the skeletons armor. Valyn fires 2 shots at the last crossbowman doing little damage as Nomric moves for a better shot. The reaming sword bearing skeleton slices into Gorroth as the archer takes aim at Valyn driving an bolt into him
The new wound only seems to drive Garroth further as he slams into the last sword-bearing undead with his strikes.

The battle rages as Scouty moves to a better spot but misses her target. Gorroths blows slide from his targets armor yet me manages to avoid the whirling scimitars. Jax glowing hammer slams into the archer as it reloads its bow.
Normric
The others seem to have kept moving and seem to pay no mind the the battle
Garroth continues hammering away at the undead monstrosity.
Flurry of Blows (1d20+4=7, 1d6+3=8, 1d20+4=24, 1d6+3=7)
Randal fires 2 shots at the reaming melee skeleton and reloads as one of his bolts damage the skeleton. Valyan fires one and misses has to reload and fires again hitting but not damaging the foe, garroth finally manages to slam home a solid hit while avoiding it's swords as jax finishes off the last of the archers.
"Gods these things are stubborn!"
Flurry of Blows again (1d20+4=24, 1d6+3=4, 1d20+4=19, 1d6+3=4)
Action point for second attack (1d6=5) 19+5 =24; both attacks should hit, I think!
"Go down and stay down!" Garroth says under his breath as he slams into the skeleton with a flurry of kicks and punches.
Jax Turns and tosses his warhammer towards the last remaining skeleton.
Gorroth drops the last of the skeletons and the dust from the fight settles. Now would be a good time to take account of used ammo and leave as the other patrol may be back very soon
Garroth will quickly swallow a potion of cure light wounds, then say to the rest, "Let's get a move on before the rest get back. Someone's bound to notice when 4 of their sentries don't come back."
Jaxon spits upon the old bones in front of him and walks to Garroth's side "Good fight Garroth?...Relieve some of that anger?" Jax asks, patting the monk on the back and offering a smile.
"We should get moving...Stay frosty all."
With that, he takes his potion, and begins to move.
slinging his crossbow and cursing at the aggressiveness of his allies, he had so hoped they could lure the enmy off the hill and hit them from two sides....well nothing to it now, he began to trot forward down the trail drawing his Mace.

The squad makes their way from the battle, a few moves back and cover the others trail. But you move quickly as others may come once the patrol finds the others. So you march, fast and low and as the evening sun sets below the horizon you come upon the camp. You move like ghosts though the Autumn leaves, Like Phantoms of death as you creep closer
This place was once a farm but over grown and ruined fields now make up most of the area. To the right is a small farmhouse and shed, lights come from the house. not far way is a rough stone fence with 3 towers a rough shod building peeks over the fence. Five others towers are scatted around the place a few guards can be seen in each
Garroth whispers to his squad-mates, "My guess is that he is in the building surrounded by the fence and three guard towers. I have two thoughts: one, we make a beeline for the building, relying on stealth and speed to get in and get out. The downside is that the terrain is very open, and many guard towers will have the ability to spot us (both going in and getting out). My second thought is that we take out the two guard towers on our side first , then break into the facility at the back . This will take longer, but give us better odds of getting in unseen, as well as an undefended escape route. Other options?"

"Sounds like a plan. If we take some time here, I can infuse our bolts with a bane quality or elemental quality.It takes 10 minutes to cast but lasts for 30 minutes.Bane works better, but is specific to one type of critter."Nomric whispers back to Garroth and the rest of the squad."I can do 10 bolts each."
I think we do go with garroths second option.

"Hmmm ... I am not sure which would be better. We may very well be facing both humans and undead. Should we have bane weapons against one, or say, acid energy that's effective against both?"
"I'm not sure about doin acid lad, it might not work."
I like the plan...Take out the guard tower, and move quickly to the compound, finding grabbing and exiting.
"OK, let's head towards the copse of tress over there."
"Then we'll try and approach the tower under stealth."
"Hold up Garroth, aren't we going to power up your bolts first? it'll take a little time....so undead bane or flaming?"
"Sorry, Nomric. My desire to take the battle to our foes often gets the better of me. I think we should go with the bane weapons. I am afraid that flaming weapons might give away our position once they were fired."
Can we see anything in the towers? Outlines or shapes moving mechanically, like the undead we fought earlier, or fluidly, like humanoids? perception (1d20+7=27)
