Vladimir makes his way towards the south, splitting his attention between the screen and the ground beneath his feet. As the UAV hovers above the trees for a second before Vladimir gets it to shoot northwards, an interesting sight catches the soldier's attention: the small creature with the snout emerges from under the trees but it does not walk. It seems to be floating sideways slightly above the ground, swinging back and forth as it moves forward. But the drone has no time to observe it further, since the eagle chasing it is yet to give up.
While Vladimir is busy attending to his tasks, Diego, Tyler and Anna reach the eastern edge of the grove and the latter begins to climb a pine, not getting really far for now – much unlike Liza who ventures even farther from the others, ending up on a wide, crescent shape and so far empty clearing.

OOC: Drone spots small humanoid with snout on BH35. Large eagle is 50' above AT30. Drone doesn't see the other eagle anywhere.
Little comment: I assumed Anna took 10 on her Climb check (partly because the DC is 15 so she can comfortably do so). That said, character's can only climb at one quarter of their normal speed (or one half, but that's a +5 to the DC), so Anna is now just 7' up.

As Hallax darts northwest, stopping under the tree, he suddenly hears a familiar buzzing sound from above. Looking up, he sees the strange flying device again suspended mid-air to his northeast: much to the chagrin of Lucky's eagle, it escaped again.
A good way to the south, Grathag and those carried by him cross the clearing and Lucky hops off to tap himself with his wand, his disembodied voice instructing the archon to cast its spell again. The archon, its light still dim bumps into the apparent source of the sound, filling the ratfolk's body with a welcome warmth.

OOC: Drone's 50' above AX18, well out of range for the archon. Hallax sees it, but is too far away to tell Lucky.
Speaking of, could you give me the exact position of the archon and Lucky (now that latter's not on Grathag anymore)?

Round Eight

From BA-26, Yex will move due west to AU-26, and he and Shassax will continue looking and listening carefully:

Stealth:
Yex: (1d20+27)[29]

Perception:
Yex: (1d20+20)[30]
Shassax: (1d20+11)[23]

Hallax will glare at the flying device, then will slip under the trees and proceed west to AP-18, moving quietly and attentively, paying more attention to whatever might be waiting to the north, northwest or west.

Stealth:
Hallax: (1d20+23)[33]

Perception:
Hallax: (1d20+7)[19]

Meanwhile, Lucky watches with dismay as his eagle once again fails to come close to the impossibly fast flying device.

“Godsdammit,” Lucky mutters, “if you want it done right….”

“Language,” Chal murmurs.

“Yeah yeah.” In Celestial, Lucky calls to the eagle, “Forget the flying thing! Fly fast to the northwest and attack whoever you see there. Scream when you do, and keep screaming.”

To the invisible lantern archon, he tells it to cast Aid on Chal, who uses her invisible fingers to make a small X in the snow to mark her position.

With that, Lucky drinks his potion of Fly and rises 30 feet into the air above AX-34, straining his senses in an attempt to see or hear the flying device:

Perception:
Lucky: (1d20+4)[22]

The invisible lantern archon drifts across to bump against Chal, and casts Aid on her:

Aid:
(1d8+3)[4]

This is the seventh of seven rounds the invisible lantern archon will be active, so after casting Aid it winks out, still extremely puzzled as to what exactly was going on.

Lucky’s eagle, still angry at its failure, wheels and beats the air, flying hard from AT-30 to reach AA-13, scanning the terrain below and ahead, eagerly searching for a target to attack:

Perception:
Large Eagle: (1d20+10)[27]

This is the fifth of seven rounds the large eagle will be active.

Chal—invisible at AV-34, where Grathag set her down—casts Weapon of Awe on Grathag, and then begins picking her way to the west, ending at AS-34.

Grathag, who delayed to allow Chal to cast the spell, grunts a muted thanks and takes a double move action due west, ending in AQ-34.

Before the drone would whirr away towards the north, Vladimir sees a figure sneak across the stretch of snow between the small grove above which the UAV hovers and the one to the south, and stop almost straight below the device. Little does he know, however that mcuh of his team is about to get a closer look: as Anna reaches high enough on her tree and gets into position and as Tyler runs forward towards the central grove, they both spot – one through her scope, the other with his naked eyes – the same creature Vladimir did, standing a mere 30' from Tyler, frowning at the man. It is a hulking, bipedal cat (or some kind of feline creature, at any rate), wearing a sturdy studded leather armour and carrying a massive two-handed sword. Two smaller axes hang from its belt. It approached them with incredible stealth, but it looks just as surprised to meet the rifleman.
Without hesitation, Anna pulls the trigger, just as Diego bursts out of their grove and fires a short burst. The bullets tear into the cat, splattering blood about and tearing apart the armour on its chest.
Before Tyler could join in, however, a shrill cry is heard and the large eagle dives headlong at him, slashing about with its talons to little effect, but finding Tyler's exposed face to drive its sharp beak into, drawing blood.

OOC: I assumed those were meant to be readied attacks. Tyler couldn't get one because he went before the cat and used up all his actions.
Anna is now 22' up on her tree. Diego is on AF16. The cat is on AP 18. The eagle's on Tyler.
Tyler take 5 points of damage (make sure you mark it on the sheet).
The cat is dealt 60 points of damage, but remains standing.

Most of the party manages to push forward without incident, staying alert. Hallax is not so lucky. Not long after he watches the drone buzz on towards the northeast, he continues his silent trek through the grove… And runs straight into a strange figure, clad in a weirdly patterned white-grey garb, a thick vest of sorts and a hemispherical pot of a helmet on his head. The figure is holding a long, black stick with two – no, tree handles protruding from it.
Before either of them could act a flat clap is heard from the distance and something slams violently into Hallax's torso, tearing its way through his armour with ease, radiating white hot burning pain. Within seconds, another strange human erupts from under the trees to the west, his raised black stick flashing and emitting a thunderous noise. Strong as he is, Hallax is almost knocked over by the force of more invisible beads of pain.
Lucky's eagle, prompted by its master shoots northwards and descends upon the man standing before Hallax, its talons slashing their foe to no effect, but its beak finding its mark and drawing blood.

OOC: Hallax gets into trouble! The two invaders he sees are on AF16 and AJ18. Drone's 50' above BD8.
Eagle attacks invader on AJ18, dealing 5 points of damage (took the liberty to roll for it).
Hallax takes 60 points of damage. (But luckily for him, massive damage is an optional rule.)

Round Nine

Hearing the explosion and thunderous fire, Yex will move to AR-26, and will cast Gravity Bow while looking and listening carefully, especially to the north and northwest. All the while he is fearing the worst for his cousin, and burning with fresh rage against humans.

Stealth:
Yex: (1d20+27)[44]

Perception:
Yex: (1d20+20)[35]
Shassax: (1d20+11)[27]

Hallax is still on his feet, and although it’s a small comfort, 5 points of damage are transferred from Hallax to Chal through the life link she established earlier.

That leaves Hallax at 15 hit points, and he immediately rages, bringing his total to 30 hit points. Without hesitation he pulls his greatsword and charges directly at the invader at AJ-18, swinging a mighty blow.

Attack:
Hallax: (1d20+12)[18]

damage (if successful):
(2d6+13)[20]

Hearing the immense explosion, Grathag heads north and then west, ending at AP-32, and casts Divine Favor upon himself, looking and listening carefully for any sign of intruders to the north, northwest and west.

Perception:
Grathag: (1d20+3)[6]

Flying invisibly at 30 feet above AX-34, Lucky hears the massive explosion and flies through the trees to AO-31. Lucky will scan carefully to the north and west in search of Hallax and any intruders.

Perception:
Lucky: (1d20+4)[22]

If Lucky is able to see the intruders, he will cast Aggressive Thundercloud on top of the one at AJ-18. If he can’t see that intruder, he will cast it on top of the one at AF-16.

Aggressive Thundercloud
electricity: (3d6)[11]
Reflex negates: DC 15

If he can’t see either intruder, he will instead cast Mage Armor on himself.

Lucky’s eagle, having found a target and drawn blood, continues attacking the intruder at AJ-18.

Natural Attacks:
2 talons:
(1d20+3)[8]
(1d20+3)[6]
bite:
(1d20+3)[17]

damage (if successful):
(1d4+2)[6]
(1d4+2)[3]
(1d4+2)[3]

This is the sixth of seven rounds the large eagle will be active.

Chal will cast Air Step on herself and glide north above the difficult terrain, ending at AT-30. Having received 5 points of damage from Hallax, she is now at 33 hit points.

First thing: my post was saying that Anna (specifically) won't attack at the same round. Not that I don't like the result, but still wanted to mention you did an error here.

Anna: If Cat is alive attack him\her\it. If not ready action to attack next enemy she sees EXCEPT eagles.
Liza: If Cat is alive, move to AH20, then attack. If not move to AH26. If makes one move action and sees someone except cat or eagles: attack.
Tyler: If Cat is alive, attack him\her\it. If not: attack eagle that attacks him.
Diego: If Cat is alive, attack him\her\it. If sees enemy except eagles: attack. If no such enemy: attack Eagle attacking Tyler. If no living enemies nearby: move to AH22. If sees someone: attack. If not plant landmine.

It has begun! Leaving the drone to its own devices, Vladimir rushes eastwards, heading for the sounds of battle, but from between the tree trunks, he doesn't yet see where the enemy is. Anna, Tyler and Liza, on the other hand can see the cat well enough, and while the latter ends up peppering the the air behind the beast in her excitement, Anna's bullet and Tyler's burst find their mark, just as the creature reaches for the hilt of its blade. The muscles on the cat flex and it seems to be trying to gather the last of its strength to launch its body forward, but to no avail. Its limp body collapses, staining the white of the ground with its blood.
HIs comrades having felled the creature, Diego can now focus on the eagle scratching its talons against Tyler's vest and then trying to take a bite out of his face again, thius time without success. HIs bullet hits and the eagle disappears, leaving no body and no blood behind.

OOC: Hot damn! Sorry for the blunder with Anna.
Anyhow, Vladimir's now on X18. The cat is down, as is the eagle. The team doesn't see anyone else.

Yex darts westwards, silent as a shadow only to see his bloodied cousin standing defiantly in front of two strangely clad humans holding long, black sticks. Before he could do anything, however, a flat clap is heard, and then a loud roaring noise as a third stranger rushes out of the western grove, followed by a flashing of the stick man in front of Hallax holds and another series of claps.
Hallax grabs the hilt of his greatsword, but he is too late. More beads of pain tear into his flesh, burning through his armour. He attempts to gather his strength for a last act of defiance, flexing his muscles but darkness takes him and he collapses bleeding, sending a chill through Chal's spine as her magic siphons away some of his pain into her body.
Grathag and Lucky, one on the ground and one in the air rush to the edge of the grove as well. All Grathag sees is the three humans holding their strange sticks, but Lucky sees a more horrible sight as well: Hallax's familiar form, lying prone on the ground. Steeling himself, the ratfolk casts a spell on himself and a barrier of force surrounds him.
While he's busy at that, his eagle descends upon the human again, but the creature's vest and helmet keep its talons and beak at bay. Another flat clap is then heard and the bird vanishes, struck through by some invisible force.

OOC: Hallax takes 31 points of damage (i.e. 36-5). He's down. Make a stabilization check.
Chal takes 5 points of damage. The eagle takes 8 and is dispatched. Lucky bumps his AC to 21.
Yex, Grathag and Lucky see three invaders, on AJ18, AF16 and AH20.

Hovering invisibly at 30’ above AO-31, Lucky casts Web on the invaders, centered on the point at the convergence of AG-17, AH-17, AH-18 and AG-18. Web has a 20-foot-radius spread and should extend to cover all three invaders, each of which needs to make a DC 15 Reflex save to avoid being grappled by the web.

Diego's orders are briefly interrupted by a pained hiss as an arrow slams into his shoulder, followed closely by another that, in turn, bounces harmlessly off his armour. Spotting some movement about where the arrows must have come from, Liza rushes forward and tosses a grenade under the trees with a giddy grin on her face. The grenade goes off, but to her dismay, she thinks she sees a figure slip behind a tree trunk just in time. Just as Tyler reaches the body of the fallen cat (realizing that the creature is unconscious, but not yet dead), a small cloudlike orb appears around Liza discharging electricity into her body, singing it slightly. In the same instant, The figure of the snouted creature appears out of thin air, hanging in the air 30' above the ground; without hesitation, Anna and Tyler fire their weapons, and the creature falls, tumbling down and crashes into the snow inertly.
Lastly, Diego, his shoulder still aching runs up behind Tyler, holding his weapon ready.

The vengeful Yex fires two arrows in quick succession, but only the first hits its mark, embedding itself in the invader's shoulder; the other bounces off his vest. One of the invaders surges forward and tosses a little ball towards Yex. The catfolk instinctively dodges for cover behind a tree trunk and his gut turns out to have been right: the ball explodes into a tangled mass of fire and burning hot splinters cutting up Yex's side. Lucky is quick to retaliate: a thundercloud forms around the thrower and zaps them with cackling lightning. Before the now visible ratfolk could dart away safely, however, the stick of the invader now standing over Hallax's limp body flashes and two flat claps are heard. Within the same instant, a bead of pain and then a whole cluster of them shoot into Lucky's fragile body and the world goes black. When Chal, fully healed, reaches the edge of the grove, all she sees lying in the snow is his mangled, lifeless husk.

Another two arrows slam into Liza, this time, but she barely seems to notice. Instead, she starts shrieking with fearsome glee as she peppers the forest with bullets, all of them missing the archer. Tyler, on the other hand doesn't take his chances. He unceremoniously lowers his rifle and sends a bullet through the cat's skull which messily explodes, killing the creature.
While much of the team is focuses elswhere, a mounted knight appears, again as if from thin air and charges straight for Liza. The snipers take aim and fire a bullet each into the huge horseman, but they fail to so much as slow the rider down who cleaves into Liza with a massive, two-handed waraxe. Liza, however is as tough as boiled leather: she remains standing and defiant. Late to the show, Diego moves in front of Tyler and fires a burst towards the horseman as well, but the searing pain of the arrow stuck in his shoulder somehow burning the wound from inside ruins his aim.

Yex switches targets and fires two arrows towards the stranger standing by the bush. Both of them manage to pierce the stranger's chest, drawing blood. The stranger lets out a mighty, malicious shriek in response and the end of their stick lights up with fire. Invisible projectiles tear up the tree trunks and branches around Yex, but none hits the catfolk – putting him in a good position to watch as the invader standing over his limp body aims his stick at Hallax and with a flash, crushes his skull into pieces.
To the south, Daybreak finally appears and Grathag mounts the horse with practiced ease, steering his noble steed towards the shrieking stranger. As his form becomes visible again, two flat claps are heard and burning pain fills Grathag's body – only to have his righteous fury burn even stronger than before as he brings down his axe on the shrieker. The strike connects, but his foe remains standing defiantly.

Two further arrows sail out of theb grove to the south, slamming into Diego's chest. The situation is about to get bleaker than could be expected moments ago: both snipers miss the knight, as does Tyler, and while Liza manages to step back and hit their foe, it barely seems to faze the horseman who lunges forward in pursuit and swinging their huge axe, lops her head clean off. The gunner's headless body collapses.
Diego makes an attempt to retaliate, but it would appear that it is hard to land a clean shot when arrows stick out of one's chest: the bullets fly past the knight harmlessly.

The tide of the batlle seems to be turning at long last: Yex's arrows find their mark and while a series of familiar flat claps are heard again, no bead of pain tears into Grathag's flash – that is, until the woman in front of him steps back slightly, her stick spitting flames at him with a thunderous roar. Grathag however barely feels the pain (unlike Chal, who winces slightly as some of it is transferred into her body) and surges forward swinging his mighty axe, to deadly effect. The woman collapses to the ground, limp and headless.

OOC: Forgot about the life link. Grathag takes 4 points of piercing damage.

Having gotten close enough, Tyler now sees that the archer, standing a mere ten feet or so from him is another cat. The creature meets Tyler's gaze,m fierce, vengeful hatred burning in their eyes and drawing their bow, fires two arrows in rapid succession. Pain flashes through the soldier's body as both sink into his chest, but he doesn't lose his calm and he raises his rifleÂ… To hear a loud clanging noise. Looking west, he he sees its source as well: Anna proved her worth again, sending a bullet straight through the knight's forehead. The large axe slips from the horseman's grip and their limp body quietly slides oout of the saddle, hitting the ground. Remembering the first cat's resilience, Tyler quickly fires a short burst into the fallen body. A gurgling sound is heard and the creature stops breathing.
Seeing that his team took care of the knight, Diego moves northeast, intent on dealing with the archer as well – at least temporarily. He throws a grenade and the cat disappears in a cloud of smoke in a matter of seconds. It all seems to have worked out well enough – but then, something unexpected happens. The knight's horse gallops up to him and with a strange, perplexingly human expression of sorrow mixed with wrath on its "face" it bites into Diego's shoulder.

OOC: Realized there was an if-if clause in your actions section and went with that after all (luckily for you, I might add). Anna and Tyler both hit the knight for a total of 76 points of damage. The knight is very obviously dead.
Meanwhile, Tyler is hit for 24 points of piercing damage.

Wit burning hatred in his eyes, Yex looks mint the face of the invader standing barely more than ten feet from him. This is the man who killed Hallax, and he is intent on avenging his fallen cousin. With fluid motions, he fires two arrows. Both sink into the invader's chest, but the human remains standing, much unlike poor Grathag: two flat claps are heard again and Yex sees something slamming into the orc's forehead, spraying blood as it exits on the other side. The paladin drops his mighty axe and slides out of the saddle, hitting the ground. Hallax's murderer is quick to react and turning towards his limp body with his black stick raised gets the strange weapon to emit a flash of fire and the all too familiar clapping noiseÂ… And Grathag is no more.
The other invader to the north runs eastwards and raising his hand throws a cylindrical object towards Yex. Upon impact, the cylinder cracks open and a thick, dark, rapidly expanding cloud of smoke bursts out of it, engulfing the catfolk, so he does not get to see as Daybreak rushes forward and galloping straight to the invader who throw the smokebox, bites them on the shoulder.

OOC: Man, that's harsh. Grathag eats a crit and then he's double tapped for 71 points of piercing damage (after factoring in the Life Link). He's dead.
Chal takes 5 points of damage from the (as of now defunct) Life Link; she gains a total of 2 hape after CLW.

Shocked and disheartened by Grathag’s death, suddenly engulfed in acrid-smelling smoke, Yex is momentarily stunned and confused.

Chal casts Obscuring Mist, which just overlaps with the expanding blue smoke, and she whispers, “Over here, to me,” moving to AV-26; “quick, take this.”

The snipers and Tyler are quick to notice that Diego is in trouble and they are quick to act as well. Vladimir's shot is the first to hit (large animals are a preferred target of his, after all) and Anna, deadly as ever, doesn't miss the weakened beast eitherAs the creature falls over with a pained grunt, Tyler runs up to beside the small tree just south of the horse and finishes the job with a well-aimed burst. This little victory is cold comfort for Diego, however. The leader of the team almost doubles over in pain as he tries to move his bitten arm. He stumbles eastwards a few steps and leans against a tree, breathing heavily.
Shortly thereafter, a strange mist rises under the trees in the southern grove, its edge mixing with the ever expanding thick smoke of Diego's grenade. What might hide in it remains to be seen.

OOC: You killed the horsy! Now I'm sad. (To stay professional for a second, the horse takes 71 points of damage from Vladimir, Anna and Tyler and is now dead. (Congratulations on the feat choices of Vladimir, by the way. He wouldn't have hit without Big Game Hunter.))
Tyler is now on AM22.
The bite attack of the horse last round was actually a crit. Diego takes 5 more points of damage and is now disabled. He can only take on move action or standard action per round, but taking a standard action or any other physically exerting action will cause him to lose 1 hp and fall unconscious. He is now on AR18.

As Daybreak prepares to continue clobbering the wounded invader, flat claps are heard and intense pain bites into the back and then into the right flank of the noble steed. Daybreak collapses as the world slowly fades to back, but – a small joy in the great misfortune – they get to watch the invader they bit doubling down in pain as he tries to move and stumbling with difficulty to the nearest tree trunk to lean against it , obviously hurt. And the rest is darkness.
Meanwhile, having followed Chal's sound into the mist and having imbibed the potion handed to him, Yex's form blends into the fog. Until now, he was nigh impossible to spot. Now he's invisible.

OOC: Daybreak takes 71 points of damage. They are dead.
