11:27, Today: Einhard rolled 4 using 1d20.  Intelligence roll. (Intelligence 12)

Before riding off, Einhard took a moment to scan the horizon. "Is that a dwarf? What in the hell is he shouting abou..." Looking north, his eyes widened as he sees boulders tumbling down the mountain toward the group. "What th... Look out! Follow me!" he shouts. He bends over and tries to hoist the wheezing Brother Brodd onto the horse and then spurs Dora to a full sprint toward the dwarf in the distance.

Brodd climbs on board!

"Chomper! Go!" Regdoc howled at his large mutt. Still tethered to the hound, the old cleric put his countless years of Pathfollowing to use, his legs churned like a windmill in the face of a tornado as the dog pulled him along after the fleeing knight.

Sasar moves as quickly as he can, but even before the avalanche he was wheezing. He trips on a rock and falls as the sound of crashing rocks gets louder.

"Sasar! get up and run!"

Manaku throws off his backpack and pulls Sasar up over his shoulder. He struggles to keep going while arguing with Sasar.

"No, I'm NOT leaving you here and that's FINAL!

Boulders !! Amalrik looks about quickly, can they be dodged ?? Does anyone need a hand ?? He then sees Manaku wrestling with Sasar ... And runs over to assist ...

Thud shouts, "ALMARIK! LEAVE THEM ALONE! FOLLOW ME!"

He begins running as Brodd instructed.

The uphill climb did not bother Yagi in the least as small as she is or Mistah Wong for that matter.

Yagi was in her own world until the boulders started flying and someone was yelling "RUN!", by all the spirits why did they have to be so loud.

She figured it would be prudent to run and pumped her legs as fast as they could go.

Mistah Wong was right behind her.

Dwarghar was waving his arms wildly pointing up. "OI!!! DA MANTICUR BE MAKIN DA ROCKSLIDE! DIS WAY!" He was jumping and waving pointing at the cave moUTH. "DIS WAY 'URRY! MANTICUR!!!! ROCKSLIDE!!!! RUN DIS WAY!!! COME ON!!!!!! 'URRY UP OR YA BE DEAD!!!!

Manaku reaches Sasar's mule. He lays Sasar over the mule's back and slaps the mule's backside as hard as he can. The mule brays and back-kicks Manaku in the stomach, but rushes towards the cave entrance with its master on its back.

Manaku groggily gets to his feet. He quickly realizes his chances of survival are slim and casts a Magic Shield to hopefully protect him from the avalanche.

Creston stood up and started running toward the cave, slapping the bard on the shoulder as he went past. "Come on, Harald," he said. "Time to move."

With Brodd on board, Dora ran as fast as she could with the  two men on her back. As they approached the mouth of the cave, Einhard heard the dwarf a bit more clearly. To Brodd he said, "Did he say manticore? Isn't that what Regdoc said killed Eron? Maybe he isn't as crazy as I though!"

Then he shouted back toward the others that were still scrambling "Come on! Hurry!" And quietly added, "I think the rocks are the least of our worries..."

"Man," Regdoc gasped, "ti-cor-Eron-warned..." For being close to the same age as many of the smaller rocks hurtling down the mountainside at them, the oldster was still moving, every other step being skipped due to Chomper's strong pull.

"Agreed! Thank you for the lift, and thank you Dora." Brodd says to the man and horse as he scrambles to get down when they arrive at the cave and head for the cover that it offers from the rock slide coming down the mountain side.

Dwarghar hopped and bounced waving his hands towards the cave mouth."'urry long legs! Manticur piss.... Dwarghar caught it. Smart.... strong... trapper! 'urry or die."

Dwarghar kept waving now dodging stone.

Sir Einhard, Brother Brodd and his steed reach the cave entrance.
Sasar and the Mule will get there in the next round.
The rest of the party will (hopefully) get there in the third round.

"Run! Lift your knees and run!" Brodd shouts to the party still making their way to the cave!

Harald turns around, sprinting as quickly as he can away from the cave.

Chomper pulled, Regdoc followed. He really had little choice in the matter due to the tether, but he would contend personal prerogative if confronted on it.

Second verse same as the first...

Torn between actions, Amalrik follows Thrud.

Ali was scampering for safety, toward and preferably into the cave, fast as she possibly could.    Cursing under her breath all the while...

I knew coming up here was stupid!    These people aren't professionals!   Never go *anywhere* where the rocks are *above* your head...everyone knows that!

Dwarghar was still waving for them to come. "Long legs 'urry. Manticur... makin trouble. You go mush.. ifn not 'urry. Safe 'ere... den go kill manticur. Dwarghar make strong trap." Theses last words were said with pride.

When Creston reaches the cave, he turns and looks, to see if everybody is going to make it. Seeing Harald running the wrong way, he shouts, "Harald! This way! Over here!"
