[Eclecticon]

Let's hear what you've got!  Hathcyn's up first, then Gwaithlim who, because of his successful Stealth roll () remains unseen and unsuspected...

[Telcontar]

Light footed and gliding across the ground Hathcyn closed with the guards.
 Spear leveled he engaged.

Rolled 1d12 : 7, total 7

Rolled 4d6 : 6, 3, 2, 3, total 14

[Eclecticon]

Hathcyn feints high with his spear-tip.  As the guard raises his shield to deflect the blow, he instead plunges the shaft into the man's leg, drawing forth a scream of pain and fear. 


You didn't specify which guard you were engaging, so I'm going to assign you the knot-bearded man (who loses 14 Endurance).

[Eclecticon]

As the unlucky guard loses his footing, Luindîs takes aim and shoots...


She's trying to finish off the knot-bearded man.

00 1d12 : 10, total 10
Rolled 3d6 : 6, 3, 3, total 12

[Eclecticon]

And that's a Piercing Blow (shot?) with a TN of 16:

1d12 : 3, total 3
Rolled 2d6+2 : 4, 6 + 2, total 12

[Eclecticon]

The hard, narrow tip of the she-Elf's arrow bursts through the guard's mail and, finding a gap between his ribs sinks deep into his side.  His cries of warning abruptly silenced he falls, never again to rise. 

[GandalfOfBorg]

From the trees, the elvish arrow flies at the taller guard.
 

Bows -  1d12 : 6, total 6
Rolled 3d6 : 6, 4, 6, total 16

[GandalfOfBorg]

The other guard slumps noiselessly to the ground. A quiet call from Gwaithlim urges them into the building while he remains on-guard for others.
