hisses,
"Quick. Attack them before they can close in." Then he rushes forward to take partial cover by the wine storage building.
Without hesitation,
Alordan quickly readies his bow and fires into the approaching trogs. His first arrow hits solidly, striking a middle-rank troglodyte
(a12) slowing, but not stopping, it. His second arrow carries far, sailing over the head of the neighboring troglodyte
(a11).
Upon hearing the scream,
Shannigans' hand instinctivly goes to his dagger but hurriedly draws arrow to bow after realizing the situation. He lets it fly, followed by another, with neither arrow able to find its mark. Realizing he'd be wise to seek cover, he scurries over to join
Gwilt by the wine cellar.
Once positioned,
Gwillt fires off two well placed arrows. The first sinks into the scaly flesh of one leading chargers
(a5), killing it. His second arrow also finds its mark, striking the troglodyte hit by
Alordan (a12) moments earlier, causing the beast to fall back even further.
Epsilon moves into range, but remains on the opposite side of the stream. He fires a bullet at a approaching trog but misses wide.
Garth slowed by the poisonous stench
(-1 strength) ambles over to the bridge near
Epsilon and emulates the cleric by sending a sling bullet wide in the same direction.
Ewell will quickly point
Theora toward the inn, and begs, "
Please, my dear, take this and run inside. You can do your town much more good by rallying folks to fight, rather than attempt to do so yourself." He quickly hands her the orcish longsword, hoping she will obey his wishes, and rushes south, towards the oncoming invaders.
Theora accepts the orcish longsword from
Ewell and hurries off in the general direction of the inn.

Grimnail raises his nose in the air confident that he's slept in smellier holes than what these foul lizards can produce. His eyes betray his lack of fortitude as his stomach empties into and out of his mouth.
"Bahgtru's beard!" he spits.
"Must be somtin dey be a wantin here." Weakened, but no less determined, he bends to snatch a couple of the trogs javelins and moves to close the distance for a throw. He lofts the first javelin into the air and it fall short, sticking into the ground. The lead troglodyte actually pulls the vibrating javelin from its landing spot and returns the volley back at
Grimnail but missed badly.
Grimnail, feeling the weight of his scimitar after switching to his primary weapon, sheathes it over his back and twirls a hand ax into each hand. He sets his jaw in determination against the foes and advances. He senses
Ewell establishing his position not far from where he stands.
Kaltar swings around at the scream... and the smell.
"Strom, we are really being tested today. What say you: Attack with our new friend or wait for the others?" He looks back at
Strom just as the wave of stench hits the holy knight and he throws up his previously hearty breakfast. The pair, at least for this initial action, remain basically in place.
---
The javelin-toting scaly beasts advance, stopping just before formally entering melee range. They launch a wave of javelins, targeting the barbarian and knight, but their collective aim proves to be horrible.
