(what is the party doing at this point? I need to know to move us forward)

Alan remains at the rear, ready to skedaddle if it looks like they're being chased.

Teller returns to the group on the road, "You know, I am actually pretty tired right now. Better hold off on anymore spells." He readies a crossbow, hiding under his robe.

Arynn was ready to attempt to catch any projectiles sent their way to prevent his companions using their ranged attacks from being hit. If the group looks ready for a hasty retreat, he'll take the rear.

"Any luck with that noise? Shall we continue into the fort? I Believe I can provide an entrance for us." Having not done much except a failed distraction, Solastor is overly energetic while talking.

"Assault a fort, you say? Sounds like a glorious battle!" Fargrim concurs, ever ready for battle. "You said you had a strategy to get in, Solastor?"

Fargrim moves to rejoin the rest of the party fleeing from the riverside.

"You mean the fort with all the people actively shooting us? I think that's a terrible idea. How about we come back tomorrow?" Alan said emphatically.

"There won't be another shot like we had tomorrow." Arynn tells Alan. "They're on alert now. They won't lower their guard for a long time now."

"Shame we have no way to trick them into attacking themselves... those burning arrows would make quick work of the fort," Fargrim thinks aloud, thinking about the fire he sees in the distance.

(That's what Ki points and Deflect Arrows is for ;-) )

"Bah. Fine. You go low, I'll go high." Alan says, following behind his insane companions, shield up to deflect any incoming arrows.

"I feel they will be sufficiently focused on me. If you could do your best to shoot back and make them keep their heads down would be much appreciated.
Are we ready to begin?"

"Don't give me time to reconsider, let's just do this quickly." Alan griped.

Initiative: 21

If attacking you will need to roll initiative)

(I'll roll initiative in case I need to act upon anything that happens between the groups. Just to note Arynn's ready to use deflect missiles to attempt to stop any oncoming artillary shots against him or the group.)

Initiative: 13

"Aye, let's do this," Fargrim says, touching where he was wounded in the previous battle as white energy glows (8). Feeling better, he once again readies battleaxe. "We'll need a strategy, though. I doubt they'll let us barge in the front door."

Initiative: 16

"Attacking the fort. Right. Gotta stay low. Hit 'em hard, get out fast." Avery mutters as she huddles in the bushes by her companions.

Initiative: 7

Initiative:  5

"I'm planning on making a new front door. Lets go get this started!"
