As you finish your plans, Vorl's men slowly walk forward. They look for trouble, but they see nothing. (Search 2) They go on ahead, less wary.
You all get to your positions, waiting for the time to strike. Erin and Nectarius then suddenly bolt out, and Clair shoots lightning at their direction. They try to flee, but Vorl roars, reminding them who was the pack master. (Leadership 6) Nectarius circles to the left, while Erin bolts to the right. Nectarius manages to run fast enough to not be caught by them (Speed 7). Erin manages to run faster, and a mutant leaps of the edge as he tried to grab her. (Speed 8 )
Vorl's men has reduced again, from four to three. He howls in anger.
"Stupid half-breeds! I'll have to do this myself!" he shouts, and bashes another of his minions off the bridge! (Rage 3)
Seeing the time to strike, the others rush to fight the remaining mutants. Hroki and Tor come close and didn't manage to land a hit on them. (Attack 2 vs End 4) Zerol goes closer and manages to land two hits on them! (Attack 6 vs End 4) You hit them very hard, killing them instantly. (Strength 37 vs End 4) Clair moves in, too, and shoots more lightning and manages to kill one and pushes the other of the ledge. (Attack 6)
Soon, Vorl is the only one left. He screams in a fit of rage. He charges towards Zerol, but Quar blocks him. Quar is knocked out and incapacitated. Yern, seeing his brother knocked down, rushes forward and slashes at Vorl's head. Vorl's scales, however block the attack.
Erin rushes, flies over, and swoops down on Vorl, knocking them both over the bridge. However, Erin can fly. So while Vorl falls to his death, Erin simply rises and flies back to the rooftop.
"Well done! Let's go, before something else happens," says Yern.
Your party, Yern, and Quar (who is being carried by Yern) walk down towards the lower grounds. You can make out a campfire in the distance, and hear festive music and dancing.
"I wanted to say thanks, for saving my brother and I back there. Our village is up ahead; my mother owns an inn there. Just tell her that you saved Yern and Quar. We're not going back just yet, though. We have unfinished business in the mountains. We'll meet again soon, wo-" as he said that, Quar rolled of his back and stood up, although his stance was more of like a zombie.
"Ghr'z Qz! Qz! Y'pli ghr'z Qz!" Quar screams, he pulls out a dagger and stabs Yern in the back.
Yern falls to the ground, bloody and with a dagger in his back. Quar looks down on him, suddenly realizing what he has done. He walks and talks normally now. He runs to his brother's side, sobbing and crying.
"What have I done? I don't know what took over me! I swear! I have regained honor for my family tonight, but I have drowned that honor in the blood of my brother! Please, Yern, forgive me," and with that, Quar took the knife and slit his throat, falling of the edge.
"I knew this would happen one day,"cough, cough,"But you must forgive him! It was not his fault. After you see our mother, find the Gamma of our village, G'hzul. Tell him, the Crusade is starting. And tell my mother, sorry, for not protecting our family,"cough, cough. Yern says, and his eyes finally close.
The village is nearby, and dawn has started to break. You could loot Yern's body. He has two battleaxes, a suit of fur armor and a part pouch.
((Tor is about the size of a four year old, but fast and drinks blood. He can carry you, but not for very long, and not very high up.))
I'm sorry that I couldn't make it more understandable and enjoyable. Thanks for all the tips though! I'll be sure to use them soon! Oh, feel free to join back if you want Hroki.))
Also, I rustled around all my drawers and found my old Dungeon Master for Dummies book and an old thesaurus. Hopefully my future posts will be more descriptive and easier to understand.

By the way, for combat, should I hide the dice rolls or something? Because it would look nicer if I hid it. ))
