Delve the 10th

[Makofan]

A very good question!

[mannclay]

Biff will be pushing btwn the spearmen to get into melee if he can!

[mushgnome]

Franklin would be honored to have Biff fight by his side. Biff could attack weasel #4 while Franklin takes on #3? This shouldn't preclude a spear attack from the second rank.

"Shield up!" Franklin cautions his new friend.

[Makofan]

Grampus and Dori deal with the weasel attacking them, and the dismounting birdman misses his return strike on Dori. Aldbane fends off his attacking weasel, while Rhod dispatches his birdman foe and dodges the return lunge. Ori and Nori damage their weasel some more, but Ivar's spear thrust misses! Fortunately, his newly upgraded armor saves him from a grisly fate. Biff steps into the gap left by Sigmund, and shoulder to shoulder with Wotan, they team up to dispatch the weasel in front of them. Franklin's foe appears tough, as it barely acknowledges the slice given to it by Franklin. Then, a sharp burst of colors dazzles the eyes, and both the birdman and the weasel facing Aldbane keel over, unconscious. The giant weasel then knocks over Franklin, and has a grip on his throat. Unless this weasel is dispatched quickly, it could be quite grim for our hobbit hero!

There are four opponents left - a weasel facing Rhod, a birdman facing Grampus and Dori, a wounded weasel surrounded by Ori, Nori and Ivar, and a wounded weasel trying to rip out Franklin's throat

Franklin switches grip on his sword and jabs franticly at point-blank range. "NYAAAAAH!!!!" he screams, kicking his little legs. The weasel's claws scratch at his shield!

[merias]

Now freed up, Aldbane moves to attack the weasel on top of Franklin.

[mannclay]

"*Biff @Weasel 4, rolls 20, hits for 6 damage" <= HAHAAA nice start. Now don't die yet, Biff.

Biff looks at Wotan and nods for the success of not having our shared enemy a chance to retaliate. Biff will look to help with weasel #3 or help Aldbane.

[acodispo]

Wiglaff sees Franklin's peril & takes a risk. He tosses his scroll to the floor while shouting: "Wotan, move up!"

Then, grasping his battle-axe in both hands, and assuming that Wotan is able to give him room, he'll step up & join Wotan & Biff in coming to Franklin's aid.

[SneakeyPete]

Grampus swings at the nearby Birdman, while Dori joins Ori, Nori and Ivar to finish off the nearby wounded weasel.
