Aethelbrim:
Preparing her shield to protect the heavily-injured Gwinion at need, Aethelbrim is caught by surprise as the wolf attacks viciously!
Strength Save: 5

Hildebrand’s eyes go wide with outrage as the goblin arrows fly toward the ponies. For a brief moment, all fear leaves him entirely. Constance’s cry of pain cuts straight through him, and he whirls toward the goblin archers with genuine fury burning in his face. “Leave the ponies alone, you miserable little ratlings!” the hobbit shouts, far louder than anyone might expect from someone his size. “Fight folk what can fight back!”
His sling is already circling overhead again with surprising speed and skill born from countless lazy afternoons in the Shire hurling stones at fence-posts, apples, and anything else that invited challenge. Then Aethelbrim goes down beneath the wolf. “Hullo?! Off her, you overgrown mutt!”
Seeing the great beast bearing the Captain to the ground jolts the Took fully into action. Hildebrand plants his feet, spins once sharply, and releases another stone from the sling with all the force he can muster, aiming straight for the wolf worrying at Aethelbrim.
Even as he fires, his voice rings out again: “You picked the wrong travelers to trouble today!”

"Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life."
"AETHEL!" Orin called over the din of battle with his eyes wide first wide with distress, then narrowed as a growl of fury builds up in his chest. "Paws off her you wretch beast, or Orin be taking more than your life before this day is done!" He called out. A threat he promptly followed up with by notching another arrow, holding his breath, and pausing for just the right moment before sending it flying for one of the Varg's eyes! In the next moment, the dwarf is drawing steel and rushing through the pass, huffing and puffing as lungs quickly began to burn from even the small bout of exertion. Yet in the heat of the moment, he could careless for if his body fell, just so long as it lasted long enough to see him sinking steel between the ribs of those that would harm his charge.
Action: Attack with Shortbow at Varg.
(Short Range, Lethal)Shortbow - Attack #1: 15 Damage: 11 Piercing (or 5, if sneak attack is not applicable).
(Above attack roll already takes into account his exhaustion)
Movement: If there'd been room enough to get into melee with the Varg assaulting Aethelbrim, then Orin does so!
(Max-Movement 15ft due to exhaustion, but he's willing to his Bonus Action: Cunning Action - Dash to make up the distance)
Free Action: If able to get into melee, drawing shortsword to wield in one hand, but carrying the bow in the other for now.
When you realize you're doing too much: Signature.
Day 10 – Battle of the Rocks (Round 2 continues)
Combat order:
Hakmogg (Orc hunter), Eryndis, Varg (Wild wolf), Hildebrand, Orin, Snagash (Goblin archer), Aethelbrim, Zarak (Goblin archer) Gwinion.
Synopsis/New Actions
1) Varg knocks Aethelbrim prone and all she can see is the wolf's slavering maw dripping saliva on her face. As the wolf opens it jaws to howl its success an arrow appears out of nowhere it would seem and spears into the creatures's throat. The creature collapses onto Aethelbrim's chest but manages to get back to its feet. Now in addition to being drenched in Varg's saliva, Aethelbrim is covered in the creatures blood.
2) Hildebrand loads up his sling and with a whirr releases the rock towards Varg - unfortunately the shot goes wide and speeds past Gwinion's ear with a whoosh.
3) From his position at the back of the party, Orin nocks an arrow, draws his bow and lets fly towards Varg, the arrow spears into the creature's throat causing it to stagger and drop to its knees before regaining its feet (see point 1).
4) Bow in one hand and sword in another, Orin pushes his way way past both Hildebrand and Eryndis in an effort to get to Aeyhelbrim. They move out of the way sufficient for him to squeeze through. The dwarf reaches Aethelbrim and stands astride her prone body. "Right let's be having ya, ya mangy mutt!" he says to Varg.
5) From his position atop the rocks Snagash calmly nocks an arrow and draws his bow to fire down into the melee in the defile - 4 {xxx rolled} (1 = Hildebrand, 2 = Saddleback, 3 = Eryndis, 4 = Orin) targeting xxx (Attack: 22 Damage: 6 {xxx To hit/xxx To damage)
6) Aethelbrim - you're up
