IC

In the years after the oceans drank Atlantis, and long before the brothers Romulus and Remus founded their great city, there was the age of Hyboria. A time lost to history, a time of savage swords and strange sorcery...

Claudius sticks the greatsword point first into the ground beside him and draws his bow. Nocking an arrow, he peers into the darkness and tries to line up a shot.

Anakunaisi

If there are torches or other flammable materials around, Anakunaisi lights one, and hurls it towards the attackers to get some vision.

As the Kushite's spear finds its mark one of the figures lets out a strangled cry. Anakunaisi hurls a torch which lands between the scouting party and the figures. This reveals a glimpse of wild looking men, pale faced and long haired. Their clothes are tattered and their feet are bare. They scramble to avoid the light, but anyone with a ranged weapon can take a shot at the retreating forms.

Thanks to the illumination from the torch, Claudius's arrow finds its mark in one of the raiders.

Anakunaisi switches to his bow as quickly as possible, and lets a shot flying.

The majority of the dimly lit forms are already retreating into the darkened marsh, leaving their wounded and dead behind. A few, however, linger long enough to return fire at those who attacked them. A large stone flies from the darkness and strikes the Kushite warrior in the face, and he staggers and falls backwards. Claudius and Anakunaisi find themselves in the path of an arrow each.

Claudius tries to duck back behind the wall beside the door out of which he shot, which he was using as cover, but he doesn't move fast enough.

Both Claudius and Anakuaisi are hit by arrows while scrambling for cover. Fenn ducks low and checks on the Kushite, who is alive but with a bloodied, broken nose, split lips, and missing teeth. Those attackers not killed have fled, and the scouting party now finds itself with two fewer members. The two Nemedians patrolling the village must have run into the attackers first; one is gone and the other is bristling with arrows.

With practiced ease, Clauidus snaps off the arrow, removes both ends, and skillfully binds his own wound.

The Kushite mumbles something that sounds like "not sure" but its hard to know for sure due to his injury.

Hearing the call for help from the wounded, Fenn does what he can to assist.

Claudius only feels a letter better, but at least he is no longer bleeding.

Paulus has been making rounds once again like after the first ambush checking to see who needs patching up. He is able to clean and wrap the wound, but there's only so much that can be done.

"We'd best keep a patrol in case they come back." Fenn goes to examine some of the dead attackers for clues as to their identity.

Claudius nods, also going over to search the bodies.

Those who search the bodies of the dead find that these men are older and more ragged than those that attacked them before. The corpses' clothes are threadbare and they have no footwear at all. However, every one of the three slain men bear tattoos strongly resembling the talisman that Claudius found earlier.
