Ambush!

While Kogul struggles to finally put down the brute once and for all, a lycanthropic Traza patters over and does the job for him. An arrow flies past Bardem's head, breaking his focus at trying to club the archer's head in two. At Parvak's command, his wolf Dyra lunges forward at Argnok's quarry, bringing him to the ground before tearing his throat out.

Go: Argnok

[SHOW]
Kogul: Critical misses

Traza: Hits, shifts, hits and kills

Ambush Archer: These skirmishing archers carry savage looking shortbows that seem to be pretty powerful. They lack much armor aside from padded leathers, but have good footing and are evasive. They don't seem to have the keenest aim, however.

Ambush Brute: Wearing some thick hide and carrying some heavy looking staves or mauls, they look to be quite tough.

Underbrush: Move through normally.

Rocky Terrain: Difficult movement.

Seeing his original foe ravaged by Parvak's wolf, Argnok turns his attention to another archer. He strikes out powerfully, "Kill the bastards! This fight is ours!" He shouts, invigorating the others.

Ambush!

Argnok works his way uphill and lands a vicious blow on one of the archers. The sound of his blade on flesh invigorates his allies and they feel as if the battle is theirs. Frightened by the display of brutality, two of the archers fail to injure Bardem.

Kogul's anger only grows as his temporary ally finishes off his foe before his eyes. Letting go of himself, his eyes widen and flash with rage as he rushes across the rocks, sinking his blade into the nearest of the remaining archers.

As the body falls to the ground, lifeless, he smears some of the blood from his sword across his face, before turning to the other two nearby. The look in his eyes shows the complete lack of inhibitions remaining in the man, who is ready to brutalize his foes mercilessly until their bodies are broken and bleeding across the jagged terrain they chose to hide on.

Seeing Kogul cut down the nearest foe, Traza tromps towards the now-closest ones. Returning to her orcish form, she mumbles a few words and unleashes a torrent of thorns upon her enemies. It is amazing how well some of nature's own weapons do in such an unnatural battle.
