Flashes of fire light up the night. The dragon men seem to be running towards them, not away, suggesting...what? An attack on this camp? Were they attacking or being attacked?
It was tempting to use the distraction of this fight to flee for safety. But she was in the middle of swamp, in the middle of nowhere, with no weapons or provisions or anything beyond her clothes. The odds of making it back to civilization seem slim.
So, instead, Bryony creeps after her captors, in hopes that one of them will perish and leave her a weapon she can use.
Bryony you are a few moves before them. (3 rounds) since the draconians ran after Alex and I fast forwarded the moves.
You take these three rounds to follow the draconian who guarded you and see him join the leader. Some sort of shaman but likely more of a sorcerer. He is kneeling in front of a foul smelling pool of water and you see 5 small black and scaly slithering creatures emerge and move toward the area where the blast originated.
The shaman and the other draconian follow trying to be silent and turning their backs to you.
The other draconians die under the arrow blasts and knives of the companions. The only thing you see if the lizardman struggling to break Shan's spell.
OOC. Now you are all at the same round. Geoff and Xorn can move

Spotting the shaman bringing forth those...creatures from the foul-looking pool, Bryony sees her chance. She still hasn't found a weapon she can use but there are other people here, potential allies to keep her alive if she can just get to them. That shaman could very easily have some mystical powers, though, and taking him out of the fight was the surest way to save her life and theirs. Only problem was, still no weapon.
There was a pool, however...
As the battle rages and the shaman and guard begin to circle the pool to join the fight, Bryony hunches down and breaks into a sprint. With a fast charge, she shoulderslams into the shaman in hopes of sending him right into that foul-looking pool. Maybe he can't swim. Maybe what's in there will eat him.
Bryony misses her shove but not by far and has she stumbles she takes with her the startled leader of the draconians. Out of the corner of the eyes, she can see the lizard-like creature disappear into the wood toward the companions. THere is a terrible hiss and she realizes that there are two draconians standing next to her. The leader takes his round to catch himself and regain his footing. Then he moves a bit back putting your former jailer between the two if you.
The companions are alone in the darkening forest. THe held creature flees into the night going back to the plaza and the huge dragon.
OOC:
We will keep the same init. For those of you keeping an eye out for trouble please roll me a perception check.
Just place everyone. You have the same formation as the previous post. The juvenile dragons are coming to you from the west, a little higher than the plaza was. Bryony is not far from you but no sound has come from neither her nor her assailants.
For those of you who had readied attacks, I'll give you an advantage on your next attacks.
Shan takes a few seconds to lean on her staff to recover after the extenuation of using her spells and holding that creature.
”What kind of creatures were that?!” She asks to her friends “ Anyway we will have time to ask questions later. We bought ourselves a little bit of time, better use it and try to go through and into the city. Ready to run?”

Escarin looks across at the group "We are getting quite good at this, my friends, those enemies were new to me though, some kind of mix of lizard and man?" He turns back to the others "Tyrros, I've never known you to be upset like that, what was it about the creatures that unnerved you so badly?" The warlock tries to frame the question as politely as possible.
Escarin looks at the area where the enemy came from looking for any signs of additional threats.

Xorn for some reason, and despite your feelings about the coward fleeing, your senses are on alert.
Something triggers your instinct and you turn toward some incoming noise in the bushes or maybe that strong smell of decay that suddenly hits your nostrils.
Around you the others seems oblivious for the most part.
