Everyone

Gunnars Charge out the door is successful in putting him right up into battle with the wolf pelted overseer. His axe slams into the mans shoulder, jarring him to the side, and he brandishes his bastardsword in both hands, howling like the wolf that he seeks to emulate. The wound is deep but he still has fight left in him.

Kjersti Can easily make out the Barbarian guards standing about, and has full opportunity now to make use of her new handaxes.

Ford Even in his confused and engraged state it is easy enough for the Half-Orc to find one of the Barbarian guards and Wield his chain with furiously anger (Attack roll incoming I assume!)

Valgard easily activates another rune for Aldi, and is now free to exit the building at any time.

Aldi Grasps the short spear in her hand, and notices the new rune scribed by Valgard.

Fengr Is able to see some of the things going on outside, and seems fully ready to join the fray outside the building.

The battle that raged on in this part of the city seems to have receded, the other prisoners all defeated. The corpses of some barbarian guards strewn about as well as a few corpses of the raiders.

Weapons that can be picked up as a Move action
Longsword (3)
ShortSpear (2)
BattleAxe (2)

Also
Heavy Wooden Shield (3)
Horned Helmet (mostly for looks :D) (2)

Fengr watches as the rest of the group arms themselves and charge into battle, weapons raised high while he gathers the spirits around him. With is power fully restored the totemist follows the rest of the warriors out into the corridor, but instead of a head on charge, the warrior from the west stalks slowly out through the door like a predator closing in on its prey.
Claws leading he approaches one of the Rus, and then, with a sudden burst of speed he lunges, lashing out with his claws.

Ford Slams his chain forward but finds only the Barbarian Guards shield.

Fengr Moves out, his totemic visages looking fierce as they hover about him and he approaches Barbarian guard #1. His claws of the Girallon Rip into the mans belly, causing him to cry in pain as he attempts to ready himself to attack.

Tucking the (short)spear into her sash, Aldi grasps for the bow and arrow as made by the runes, preferring what she knows best. She tries to take stock of how many arrows she'll have, allowing herself a position in back for obvious reasons...

Kjersti Grimsdottir

"It almost isn't fair to fight." She smirked and tossed her hair out of her face, "For them." The barbarian girl added, starting to laugh crazily as she locked her eyes on the nearest Barbarian, B1. He was the closest. It had probably been him with the arrows.

Oh well. They would all be dead soon enough.

Her maniacal laughter turned into a guttural scream as she let a ferocious rage wash over before going wild-eyed and charing at him. At the last moment she pounces through the air to come down on the distracted guard, both axes barred, striking him first with one and then the other.

Kjersti and Fengr

The Barbarian guard in front of you looks badly wounded, and hides behind his shield. He looks for a place to retreat, but has no good avenues of escape. He seems afraid to strike out at the Totemist, and his Battleaxe feebly chops at Kjersti.

The Barbarian guards that have encoutered the Half-Orc hold their shields up, wary of that swinging Chain, but his first missed attack gives them a bit of confidence, both of them chopping at the big man with their battleaxes.

Valguard and Aldi

Valguard was easily able to supply Aldi with a bow and arrows, and the druid drew them forth and moved out.

The Bearskinned Barbarian moved up and upon spotting the druid without her chainshirt bindings on shouts,

"They have their bindings cast off! Watch for trickery from this lot!"

He moves up to his current position.

Gunnar merely snarls at the overseer as the man's sword his home. The barbarian lashes out once more, letting loose his anger in a wordless yell as he does so.

Kjersti Grimsdottir

Moving deftly away as the swing goes wide of her, Kjersti licks her lips and watches the frightened guard. "That's a nice axe.." She says with admiration, lifting up a Handaxe in her right hand before laughing lowly in her throat. She catches the Totemist eye. "Oh, was that one yours?" Shes ask mockingly, looking past the Totemist to where Gunner is facing two warriors- one looking more impressive than the rest.

With a scream of absolute fury she charges across the field to where Gunner is and leaps into the air once more, pouncing on the Wolf Pelted Barbarian to strike him with her Handaxes.

Fengr grins at Kjersti and her comment.
I'm more than willing to share... but before he has time to finish the sentence, the young barbarian has already charged another foe, leaving him alone with the frightened guard. Fengr crouches even lower, his entire body tenses for a moment, then he strikes out again towards the Rus. His four arms tear in at the man, all from different directions, their claws aimed for weak flesh.

Giving herself a 'mulligan' of sorts after so long away from precious archery, Aldi takes a step to her right putting her in line of the third attacking barbarian (B3) with one arrow notched and another between her teeth ready to join the first. She fires off two rapid succession shots, silently dealing death around her louder brethren.

Fengr

The barbarian guard in front of Fengr seems in dire straits. He is torn up badly from Kjerstis hand axes and the Girallon claws of the totemist. He seems intent to fight though, knowing that running from battle would get him killed as quickly as anything Fengr has to offer.

He swing his battleaxe feebly forth, hoping to score at least some sort of vengeance for the grievous wounds he has recieved

The Bear skinned warrior shouts

"These wretches are putting up quite a fight! Come boys, lets show them what we've got!"

Fengr

The totemist is so intent on offense that he barely notices the axe biting into his left shoulder, a little higher and he would have been decapitated. Now however, his armor absorbs most of the blow, but blood still seeps forth trough the rings of his mail and down along his arm. Pausing for a moment, Fengr nods approvingly towards his opponent who has shown courage in the face of death.
"You fight without skill, warrior, but bravely. Odin will look favorably upon you as you stand in front of the gates to Valhalla."
Then he lunges again, aiming for the already deep wounds the man has sustained.

Kjersti Grimsdottir

The girl laughed lowly in her throat as she moved past the injured barbarian's strike before coming down on the wolf-pelted one. Grinning with satisfaction as axe struck flesh, she was startled when he ordered B4 to attack her. Quickly regaining herself, she jumps backwards, leaving one of her Handaxes embedded in the wolf-pelted barbarian. B4's attack swings wide and Kjersti almost falls over a corpse behind her before leaning down to liberate a very nice thing she noticed..

Standing and howling like a wolf she attacked B4 full on with her new Battleaxe.
