Your spellcasting goes unnoticed, as the men are completely occupied with their argument while the woman seems to be trying her best to free herself somehow.  In fact, it's not until a bolt of mystical blue energy came rocketing out from your place in the woods to strike the nearest of the men that they even so much as halted their argument.  Screaming and in wretched pain, the one man looks to be in pretty poor shape, while the other three men draw longswords, and in the case of one man a dual set of shortswords.  They notice you quickly, your blue duster against the wooded background, and the one man whom you hit rushes towards you, drawing a blade as he goes.<br/><br/>They don't take kindly to being shot up with eldritch energy, it would seem... but by the look on the woman's face if you should spy it, she seems to wielding a cocky, determined grin, even as she attempts to free herself more earnestly.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">End of Surprise Round, all Draw weapons save one who Moves and Quick-Draws<br/>Longsword 1: Initiative 14, 65' Out, 60' from Tree Line<br/>Shortsword 1: Initiative 13, 65' Out, 60' from Tree Line<br/>Longsword 2: Initiative 9, 60' Out, 55' from Tree Line<br/>Longsword 3: Initiative 6, now 30' Out, 25' from Tree Line, Taken 21 Damage<br/>Woman Goes Last, Currently Attempting to Free Herself<br/><br/>For future note: you must be within 30' to use a Sneak Attack<br/><br/>You start the top of next round's Initiative.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>
