Suddenly, Alzar orders a shift and throws the magic spear. It misses a goblin. The leader gallops in on a small pony firing in arrow after arrow, hitting with the magic short bow Alzar lent him, while trombashes snake in for a dead goblin. Alzar rushes in on the east flank.

They move to gather their scattered forces and converge in the center of their camp, just above the ravine. Alzar’s axe hews the body in half of a kobold. They slay a wounded goblin but mostly miss. The leader drops the bow and draws his magic sword. The goblins win init and attack the leader and hhis twice for 11 damage. Alzar takes a dart for 2.

Leader: 23/34
Alzar, 22/51

Alzar’s axe is out. He misses once but hits an orc for 5 damage and it is still alive until the leader gallops at him and stabs him as he rushes by. Another kobold is finished. The enemy begins to retreat, moving themselves down the rope ladder and moving to the ravine. Alzar and the leader move to it, Alxar dropping his axe along the way and unholstering his crossbow.

Alzar stabs a goblin for death and the leader unmounts and drops down the ladder as well. Others have run up from the woods while their foes retreat.

They manage to kill everybody but one orc, one kobold and two goblins. Those four manage to make it away. The ravine had a crevasse that runs along the hill before moving into it – a cave system.
