Pepper's blow hits! Zoder goes down.
Pepper is hidden from Atrelioth, but not Zoder or the warhorses.
"Looks like we found the sniper," Atrelioth snarks. "Where is she?"
"There," replies Zoder, pointing.
"I won't hold your comrade's action against you, so long as you cooperate," the commander says to Mari and the others. The he tells Atrelioth, "Make the sniper think we will, though, eh?" Atrelioth grins at him.
Zoder draws his crossbow, stands up, and fires at Pepper, doing 15 damage.
Atrelioth moves to H8, shouts to Pepper, "You do remember we have hostages, dumbass? What do you think happens ot them if we have to come chase you?" and swings the sling at Pepper as well.The stone connects, but with a less than awe-insipring 7 damage. She shrugs, and slams the door, closing the dinosaur outside. "Not my weapon," she tells Zoder, who gives her a yeah, yeah nod.
The warhorses snort and stamp, excited by battle and the scent of blood, but being horses their AI has terrible pathfinding. (Have you ever watched an undirected horse try to negotiate obstacles?) Two of them, after a bit of meandering, seem to get the basic idea of bridges, and approaches that way; the others pace along the fence across from Pepper, thwarted by the barrier. The warhorses are now at L2, K4, G4 and F4. [I did a little number generator thing to determine how good the horses were at figuring how how to reach Pepper. They were not very smart.]
[Aden is welcome to move if he's around, otherwise, Pepper again!]
