Simone closes the distance between herself and the others fighting. She decides to deal with the blight wolf that is still around while the others face the darkspawn on the other side. She loads up her cross bow and takes aim.

(Is the Hurlock in range of Arcane bolt?)

(OOC: Yes, just barely. But he goes first in the initiative order, so he will be even closer by the time you do anything.)

Davne fires her crossbow at the incoming hurlock before stuffing it into her pack. Next round she will be ready to draw he mêlée weapons and engage as they close in on the party.

Wallace fires an arcane bolt at the hurlock, shouting defiance.

Joseph gets to his feet, clutching his wound with one hand and holding his sword with the other. He stands protectively over his sister's unconscious form while Bridget moves to guard them both. Simone manages to shoot the blight wolf twice, doing considerable harm. The wolf gets to its feet and snarls. "Get ready!" warns Bridget, brandishing her blade.

Meanwhile, the hurlock and three genlocks continue charging up the hill. The hurlock comes into clear view, as he is by far the closest. Now able to see it closer up, the party can see it resembles some kind of disgusting human-like creature with tainted flesh, grey eyes and sharp teeth.
Wallace lets loose an arcane bolt and Davne fires her crossbow twice, managing to knock the creature to the ground in the process. This should buy them a little more time. Blaker quickly works at reloading his crossbow. Alenka approaches and pulls a small vial of a glowing blue liquid from her pack and downs it in one go, before tossing the empty vial aside.

Davne draws her shield too and moves up towards the front line.
"We will hold them here, keep firing on them!"

Wallace aims and shoots an arcane lance at the blight wolf.

Simone reloads her crossbow and points it at the oncoming blight wolf. The creature leaps at Ser Bridget, going for the throat--but she is ready and throws up her shield, knocking the creature back. Wallace fires an arcane lance at it, but in the dark his aim isn't great, and it flies overhead of the creature.

The hurlock gets back on its feet, snarls and starts moving forward again. Davne readies her shield and moves forward to meet up with it. Blaker manages to shoot it in the chest, piercing its armor. He manages to reload once more before the creature reaches him.

Meanwhile, the three genlocks are slowly making their way up behind the hurlock. Alenka decides to focus on them, and fires an arcane bolt at the leading one.

Simone fires at the blight wolf again, and then reloads as fast as possible.

Davne moves towards and strikes at the incoming hurlock.

Wallace casts arcane bolt at the Hurlock.

Simone fires another bolt at the blight wolf, catching it in the neck. Before anyone else can act, Joseph suddenly moves forward and stabs the wounded wolf twice while it is distracted. Bridget calls out to him, fear in her voice, but he comes out okay. The wolf goes down, and Joseph looks ready to collapse himself.

Meanwhile, the hurlock comes forward and strikes at Blaker, cutting into him deeply. Davne moves to intercept and cuts the wounded darkspawn down, nearly splitting it down the middle. Blaker nods his thanks to the woman, but there is no time to rest. The genlocks are coming up next.

Wallace fires an arcane bolt at the lead genlock now that the hurlock is down. However, the bolt simply bounces off the creature's thick armor, doing no harm. Alenka casts Winter's Grasp on the lead genlock, causing its armor to frost over in the process. Blaker then shoots at it, seriously bloodying it.

"Bridget, get up here!" Blaker calls. "We're going to need you!"

"Ser, Mistress Hana is out and Master Joesph is badly wounded!" she calls back, obviously distressed.
