Episode 2

A man wearing rugged clothes of a Heshbaan traveler emerges from the trees, running in from east, high up on the ridge. He has a short bow with an arrow notched, and a few more arrows carried in his hand. He quickly fires out into the fog to the west, in the direction of the archer who shot at Oram. He follows with a second shot, then a third in rapid succession.

The rugged bearded man kneels down briefly to check the soldier who lays on the ground, the one whom Oram dropped. He then looks down at the incoming party. He stares briefly down the hill, but then turns decisively, tossing the bow aside and drawing a curved sword. He strides up to stand beside Oram, who is facing the south, into the fog.

Oram pulls the arrow out from his side, shuddering from the pain, and drops it to the ground. Both men set their stances for battle and hold their weapons at ready, staring into the fog. These men are preparing to make a stand.

Something is coming.

The group should provide full cover for Oram. Kray will use his shield to provide half cover for himself, giving +2 AC vs ranged fire.

Don't keep it too tight. Just close enough to keep enemies from penetrating the front.

Ivor guards the group's flank as they move up to encircle Oram and the bearded stranger. He's itching to ask Oram what the fuck they're up against but decides against it. He looks out into the fog, ready for anything.

Bryn gladly takes the direction from Kray to take the rear-guard position and pulls two daggers from belt while trying to scan the treeline through the fog.
