Making a quick burst Amok manages to get a little distance between himself an the hounds chasing him, but to keep the distance his is running flat out. While he sees a suitable tree branch that might make a spear or a staff, he knows that if he stops to pick it up the dogs will be on him, and then he would still have to work on the branch to make a good weapon from it.

Still struggling slightly, Selina pulls past Peter and throws her dagger at the last of the unattended dogheads (I think that was the one you meant), and it sinks into his arm, almost burying itself to the hilt. Just as the dagger strikes, Rolf releases his arrows the fist sinking into the same dogheads thigh, while the second buries its-self deep into the dogheads unprotected throat. With a sudden grunt, it is thrown over backwards from the force of the arrow, to lie dead on the ground a few feet away.

Learning from the other battles, Edgar watches from his treetop perch, jumping from foot to foot in his excitement, as he checks for signs of casting - but these dogheads seem to be without the type of leader that Alhevro was, as there is no sign of anything but melee weapons and the dogs.

Swearing slightly, Ravn thrusts with his spear, catching his doghead a solid blow in the upper arm, but unfortunately not in its weapon holding arm, and it manages to swing it club at Ravn as it stumbles backwards half a pace. However, its step backwards means its club only strikes Ravn a glancing blow. (Ravn 2 points damage)

Mandrake fights his way through the bushes to reach the clearing behind the dogheads, in an attempt to distract the un-engaged doghead. However, by the time he gets there, it is laying ion the ground, dead, with an arrow sprouting from its throat.

Yuri and his doghead spar, inflicting light wounds on each other (Yuri 1 point damage), until Callum limps forwards and buries his huge sword into the dogheads lower back. Cut half in two the Doghead slumps dead directly in front of Yuri, with a look of surprise on its face.

Peter, Meeleek and Elsbeth - stand almost transfixed by the battle - seemingly not sure of how to react - as Amok leads his dogs off into the distance, paying like a hound as he does so.

OOC: Sorry I'm late folks - Tied up with Exam marking - finally finished the day's allocation at 2:30 am - and was too tired and grumpy to make a good post then.

On the move
[edit] [delete]

Selina
 
Selina looks in the direction of the bushes where the beast man has vanished with the hounds and takes a step in that direction, but shakes her head and painfully but quickly steps down towards Ravn's Doghead via the path shown here:



pushing past Callum like water slipping around a boulder, two knives in her fingers, her gaze on the remaining doghead.

Barking mad
[edit] [delete]

Edgar
  
Edgar's agitation lessens as the tide of battle turns the party's way, and he turns his attention towards the sounds of barking in the distance.

"Hounds, " he calls out to those below, warning them, "and something else ..." there is a note of puzzlement as he tries to decipher Amok's contribution.
Yuri the distraction
[edit] [delete]

Yuri
  
Despite the seriousness of combat, Yuri can't help but smile a little. With a nod to Callum he kids, "I'm a good distraction for them, huh?"

"Who's that?", he asks, nodding towards the disappearing form of Amok. "HEY, COME BACK HERE!" he shouts before looking at the remaining doghead, wondering if he can engage it as well, or if he should leave it to the more capable warriors and wait for when and if Amok comes back with dogs hot on his heals.
Tidy-up

Mandrake
 
Mandrake shugs his shoulders and begins his now familiar routine of passing betwen the fallen foe. He checks their belongings, expecting to find nothing of note and ensures that they are indeed dead.

He assumes that the last dog will be taken care of by the others, hoping that this does not mean it's death but suspecting otherwise.
Confusion

Kerim Alakani
  
OOC: Maps aren't loading for me, checked all settings but just the placeholders show. It works on other sites though?? So I am going from Selina's pasted in map (thankyou muchly Selina). I'm glad things haven't moved much here, I've been absolutely snowed under by work dealing with a new system, not OS but business system, and it is taking 99% of my effort to stay sane.

Which is pretty much what Kerim is likely experiencing. After having attempted to expediate their return to the township, and not have Selina die on the way his efforts have led the group into combat. Not even a combat of his choosing, but brought upon them by some wildman.

Of some comfort is the return of Rolf and co, though the absence of Correllan is noteable.

With weapons in hand he stares at Callum as the big warrior lumbers off to wreak his revenge upon a doghead.

For a moment he stops and listens, trying to get a hold of the situation, determine where the red man went and where he came from, but his efforts are for naught, as from the tree's the talking Raven warns of more dogheads (or at least that's his interpretation).

"Stars of the night, doheads there are more than trees that can hide them in these woods, how can this be?"- and to himself he replies- "We did before meet them but there seem more than before."

Not quite sure of what to do next Kerim sheathes his weapons and retrieves his bow, to prepare to get a few shots at whatever comes his way. "Following the scouts do come the others...fat and slow I hope"

Whilst he does this he looks around him to see what cover can be had for the element of surprise.


One to go
[edit] [delete]

Rolf
 
Given the press of others and the fact that only one doghead remains, Rolf takes a moment to unstring his bow, then draws his sword. He moves in, working past the others to put the doghead down.

OOC: Rolf's got a bastard sword, it doesn't look like he can get a clear shot without endangering Yuri and Ravn though.

Callum mac Aonghas
 
I'm a good distraction for them, huh?". Callum returns Yuri's grin. "Time and again I'm after telling you all - get a bigger sword!"


He whips his sword around at the remaining doghead, bringing it down overhand vertically to avoid all the other combatantants clustered around and smishing it into the dogheads' skull.
