I was under the impression Ahearn was moving in haste. He was been
swinging four times a round.

The party continues to move slowly. The goblin side wins
initiative. Nova Jane and Ethan drop on the left flank. Erwin goes down on
the right. Ahearn takes out a hobgob-like thing. Hagar takes 6HP from a
goblin hit. Agatha kills a hobgob. Sean takes out one with two really bad
shots prior. Johnny and Hagar each make bloody slices of goblin go flying
around as they each kill the five remaining goblins before them. The
primitives are within a stinking cloud of crap. Civzar appears to have
pulled an extremely nasty brown leather glove out of his bag. It is miffing
one of the fingers and he is putting it on. Elmore's prayer goes off as
well. Holly what are you doing? The wind will blow the cloud northeast over
time. So a bit before the right flank as it moves.
Actions?

(OOC - large scale battles are a mess)
The goblinoids go first. Three more of Elmore's
troops will drop, Patrick, Charlee, and Wallo are now down. Chonz and Davide
are moving to protect them, while Wally is moving to bash someone's skull
in. At least three goblins and a hobgoblin went down. Ahearn will kill a
bugbear before it gets a chance at Hagar. Xander feels a stiffening run
through him, but he throws it off. It will take two swings for Johnny to
kill a bugbear, leaving one on him. Xander's fireball kills off a couple of
bugbears. The primitive-looking men are badly burned but are still coming.
The shaman is still there but looking a bit toasty. The bugbear shaman is
yelling encouragement and the goblins are still in this fight. Sean solves
that problem by killing the shaman and then the final bugbear on Johnny.
Ahearn hacks Hagar's remaining bugbear to pieces. Agatha puts two arrows
into the hobgoblin like things. Holly can see Claalgulp killing sleeping
goblins. Elmore is able to drag Wolfgang back for care. Nesgrous is pushing
his men together on the left flank. Wally is sort of trying the same on the
right flank and Agatha is adding a few encouraging words. This leaves Civar
who is looking for something in his sack. Digging fairly feverishly.
Holly thinks Cizvar is looking for a weapon of some
sort. Hard to tell. Johnny, Hagar, and Ahearn will notice these primitive
men are a bit otherworldly looking, their skins are grey and they move in a
uniform manner. Their eyes are nearly black. They are only emitting a low
groan.
Actions?

Other actions? Elmore is tending to one of

hacking away. Sean actions? Bugbears or the more primitive men? Holly is
flying near Civzar, who has been lagging a bit. Xander is in the air, doing?

Holly will drop her fireball (I

hole in the column. Sean will agave a good round killing two of the bugbears
comeing towards Wally. Agatha will kill a hobgoblin-like creature. Elmore
will hold two of them near the center (innermost sections of the right
flank).
Cizvar seems to be considering a
rock tossing. He is getting one out, but hasn't acted yet. Hagar takes 12HP
from a goblin with a really lucky hit and a bugbear spearpoint. Hagar kills
the lead bugbear. No one hits Johnny. Johny kills a large but singed
bugbear. The goblins bring down Wolfgang and Geblew. About four goblins
drop.
Wally casts sleep on the far left
flank taking down a number of hobgoblins and a few goblins. Ahearn will kill
one more bugbear.
Holly will see a squad of odd
primitive looking men shambling into the fight behind the shinged shaman.
Actions for next round?

The attackers break into view
goblins, hobgoblins, and bugbears, Johnny and Hagar are both mobbed by
bugbears and goblins. Which do you want to focus on first? It is possible
some will potentially pass you to get to the casters.
Elmore, Xander, and Wally see a
large number of goblins and hobgoblin-like creatures pushing towards them
from both flanks. Plus a more Napoleonic French column coming at Johnny and
Hagar made up of bugbears and goblins.
Ahearn and Agatha are on the fair
right flank with lots of goblin and hobgoblin targets.
Actions?
