I'm planning on having an Oracle of Waves & her cultists bodyguards evagelizing at a grand fountain built in a small village (Sirathu in Varisia). The Fountain houses 2 Large Water Elementals that defend the Oracle. I want the crowd to pelt the PC's from the periphery of the main fight with stones & debris. What mechanic would you recommend using to simulate this annoyance???
Would you use a Reflex save to negate say 2d6 of nonlethal damage? Some sort of volley rules to hit player AC's or perhaps touch AC's?
The Encounter's CR should be 8 or 9, with an APL of 6 (7 PC's). The crowds would target spellcasters or PC's that roam the edges of the combats like archers or skirmishers.

Maybe do it as swarm damage for a size medium swarm (if there are rules for those, haven't checked in awhile), except since it's ranged, instead of auto hit, include some type of roll-to-hit mechanic for the mob. Maybe a ranged touch attack (at a commoner's to hit, etc)?
