Zaris reaches the stairs, but Corban has already begun to ascend. Jorr steps forward, levels his bow and fires an arrow. It strikes the hobgoblin engaged with Xara in the chest, but the creature remains standing.
Then, the defenders of the bridge take action.
The hobgoblins in the towers split their shots between Pawetha, who is partially obscured by the bulk of the dragon, and Xara. The two shots at Pawetha strike the bridge at her feet, but Xara wasn't so lucky. One arrow grazes her arm, and the other sticks into her shoulder (
Xara takes 9 Damage (4 + 5)). The hobgoblins in melee with Xara and Kaiakas draw their blades and strike, one at each attacker. Kaiakas deflects one while Xara manages to duck under the other, grunting from the pain. The other two hobgoblins remain on their knees, foreheads pressed to the stone bridge.
The hell hounds stride forward, one engaging Kaiakas and the other weaving around the melee to attack Rurik. They lunge and bite. Kaiakas tries to move but is too slow, and the hell hound sinks its teeth into his leg (
Kaiakas takes 9 Damage), his armour absorbs most of the force, but the hell hound latches on and won't let go. Rurik saw the creature coming and glares at it while it charges. The creature hesitates, just enough for Rurik to sidestep its lunging bite.
The Dragon bites at Pawetha, which forces her to step back, before it unfurls its wings and takes to the air (
Pawetha gets an opportunity attack on the Dragon). It swoops around behind one of the towers. As it leaps into the air, the space between the hobgoblin captain and the rest of the group is cleared, and he levels his crossbow and fires on Pawetha. The bolt flies wide. He drops the weapon, and draws a greatsword before letting out a rousing bellow and charges forward, engaging Pawetha in melee.
