(057) Dawn Patrol

[flightcommander]

Armando draws his silvered dagger and prepares to defend himself ...

:: Somewhat confused about the whereabouts of all combatants ::

[Olroda]

Beringar can't belive his eyes. Those horrors should be killed thrice over by now, but they still keep coming! Switching back to his spear with a curse, he'll quickly attempt to form a defensive line with the others.

[mushgnome]

Highbough invisibly creeps closer to the door from which the wolf-things emerged, with the intention of cutting off arriving reinforcements and/or picking off any wounded that try to escape. He sticks to the rooftops, for the moment.

[Tonneau]

As the murderous nether-beasts bear down upon the hapless party members and they scurry to swap bow for dagger or sword, there is a sudden glint in the sky behind them; a gleaming icon clad in shining mail crests the wall, shedding bulging wine-skins as he does so. A silvered dagger appears in his hand as he leaps from the precipice, diving at the unkempt foe. A hearty "Ha haaaaaa!" booming across the courtyard with his coming.

[mgtremaine]

Wen would play it safe and move back away from the wolf-things. "I fear my arrows will not harm them." He would look for more mundane targets to shoot at if possible. In a pinch he knows there is a vial of acid in his pouch that should harm them.

ADDED: Wen would move towards Highbough, at least in the direction he last saw Highbough.

Here are some visual aides:

This is a cross section of the wall and building with so you can imagine the roofs:

D=Dieter
d=Dorgan
m=Mondes/Desmond
X=wolf-man (the one nearest Desmond/Mondes just went inside the building)

Those adjacent to an X will be meleed this turn.

Since it does not look like Desmond can engage in melee, he begins blowing on the whistle in a hearty manner.

Remember that a combat turn is a minute in duration, and also that Desmond/Mondes is the "m" on the map.
There are two wolf-men who've just clambered onto the roof immediately to his left which he could easily reach. Or he could swing down into the building to see what the other guy is up to?

[sully]

Amending my earlier post, after seeing the mudmap, to indicate that Dorgan will head toward the wolf-man nearest him, the one engaging Olaf.

OOC: Oh, sorry! I was confused; Thought Desmond was the small "d" as that is his usual map identifier. I will amend that post here in a second, then...
