Part 3: Bandits of the Greenbelt

Denayth scrambles away from the bandits, wincing in pain as he does so. He lifts his crossbow and takes aim at the man before him. The bolt sinks into the man's shoulder, causing a wide grin to appear on Denayth's face.

All his experience knew that getting surrounded was a 'bad thing' so he decided this battle needed to be fought with delaying tactics.

Brunhilde Thundercry

Although the situation immediately around her isn't looking good, Brunhilde notes that Mallory's disabled half the folks on them in a single shot, while Willem and Jaared are outnumbered more than two to one. The dwarf advances, reloading her crossbow and taking a clean shot at the leader, Kressle, driving a shard of glass into her flesh, though it hardly seems to phase the brutish woman.

5' step to D15. Reload. Kressle is just barely in my crossbow's 80' range increment, so I shoot her, forgoing my buckler's +1 to AC in order to remove its attack penalty. AC currently 19.

Dropping his crossbow, Denayth draws his mace. Seeing Jarili being attacked, the cleric

swings at the bandit, hoping to help the druid. His weapon connects solidly with the man's head, caving in the right side of his face. The man collapses to the ground, already unconscious and surely dying.

Jarili grunted as the Bandits weapon struck him but felt no further pain. A moment he breathed a small sigh of relief when the same bandit fell, no longer a threat. He loaded another bullet into his sling and took aim. He took no pleasure in violence, but even he had to be proud of the strike. The stone bullet manage to hit the bandit square in the nose, a cloud of blood spraying through the air.

Mallory smiled at the effectiveness of her magic, how she (at least for the moment) handily dispatched more bandits than any of her allies. As the horses ran scared and she lost her cover, the thunderstone went off; the burst of sound doubly effective to her sensitive ears.

She yelped and screamed, deaf to her own pain. In her anger, she whirled on the one who threw the stone and fired wildly; her shot went wide. She backpedaled towards her own allies, yelling and cursing the entire way.

"Shoot the ones I didn't hit!" she said dumbly.

Mal's crippled for an hour. Fvcking Thunderstones.
