Switchback encounter - round 3

[tomcat]

The companions were making quick work of the undead creatures. Still, some were in danger as the fell-creatures continued to slash with their horrid claws, seemingly oblivious to the wounds that had been rendered.

OOC: What kind of effort would it take to get Nori to M5?

[tomcat]

[OOC:] Hey Matt, it took the mewlips essentially 1 combat actions to get to you all - I only awarded them 1 attack action in Round 1. They got to you easier because they leapt from the heights down to where you are.

I am going to have to say it will take 2 rounds to get to M5... missile weapons can be employed without closing.

[GandalfOfBorg]

Figuring that his companions have things here well in hand, Nori bellows a battle cry and charges off to meet the lone fell creature in the distance.

OOC: Runs or whatever to get to M5.

[Cut]

Once Caranmîr sees Nori, the Dwarf, running towards the lone mewlip standing on higher grounds, he immediately grabbed his Quarterstaff that lay at his feet and then started to follow the attacking dwarf.

Gumbo pressed his attack against Melwip one.

[sdrotar]

Vári sought to crush the "life" out of the Mewlip that confronted him, as he saw Gumbo attack one of his own as Nori sprinted up the hill to engage yet another.

ACTION 3: Will hold to see if Swift Strike edge will apply to combat or if Vári will be heading up the hill with Nori.

***
Vári kept hacking at the undead monster. He disregarded any sort of tactics; he simply wished to cleave the vile beast in two.
