A tangled skein - adventures in western Middle-earth using the LOTR5e system

Aethelbrim Strength Save:  10

Aethelbrim:

Despite her best efforts, Aethelbrim is savaged once more by the wolf and taken down in a heap!

Seeing Varg continue to savage Aethelbrim, Hildebrand's courage finally outruns his common sense. "Get away from her, you mangy brute!" He lets fly another stone from his sling and immediately begins shouting and waving his arms, doing everything in his power to convince the wolf that a noisy hobbit is a more interesting target than the Captain. "Come on then! Try someone your own size!" The challenge is ridiculous coming from a hobbit, but Hildebrand appears not to notice.

Sling Attack: 23 Damage: 9 (with sneak attack)

If Hildebrand's well placed rock hadn't been enough to put the beast down at last, Orin doesn't waste the opportunity to drive his own blade deep into the beast as well for good measure! But had it fell, the goblin's above get a steely eyed glare from the dwarf, before he's off again, huffing and puffing and hobbling his way into the next fray with seeming reckless abandon. "One side Gwinion!" Orin called out breathlessly as his dagger found its way into a free hand; only to be delivered into an orcish hide had all gone accordingly, one way or another.

Free Action: Draw forth dagger in free-hand.

Action: Main-Hand Attack with Shortsword into Varg (or if Varg was slain, moving to engage orc hunter if at all possible)
(Melee, Lethal)Shortsword - Attack #1: 15 to hit, 7 piercing damage (inc. Sneak attack)

Bonus Action: Off-hand attack with dagger into Hakmogg.
(Melee, Lethal)Dagger - Attack #2: 14 to hit, 4 piercing damage. (if 14 hits)

Aethelbrim:

Expecting to die, Aethelbrim is momentarily confused when a rock comes whipping in and hitting the wolf above her.  As its body falls atop her, the air is chuffed out of her lungs.  Severely wounded, she nonetheless forces herself out from under the wolf, intending to rejoin the fight.

With blood loss starting to catch up to her, she drops shield and sword and uses the bulk of the wolf as cover against the foes.  Aethelbrim rises to a knelling position behind the dead wolf and draws her bow, shooting at the orc who just embedded an arrow in her poor Constance!

Fierce Shot:  20 to hit, 8 damage (rolled in game log)

Gwinion is begining to sweat, as the fierce melee with the orc continues.  Again he raises his blade and slashes at the orc before him

To hit 1+5=6

Eryndis attempts to keep Constance calm, despite the arrows peppering her hide.

Animal handling: 8
