<span class="bbc_u"><strong>Update (new combat starting, party acts first)</strong></span><br/><br/>Myranda's shot blew up the two dretches dragging a unconscious caravanner into woods, but farther and under more cover there's dozens of them doing this. The group progresses towards dretches and rest of caravan and easily enough both Rishi and Arty reach to group of six dretches which were harassing two mercenaries (flanking and surrounding them). Bear following in as well while Myranda and Baramos were bit farther and readying to fire arrows once more.<br/><br/><em>Meanwhile....</em><br/><br/>Ian rushes through bushes and once breaking the foliage and moving past through thick ancient trees.....he sees enormous skeletal mammoth with some rotting furs and flesh attached to it rotting corpse. It's frame has been also bolted and forged in metal beams and supports where said beams hang large cages where dretches are hauling the unconscious victims (stripping weapons and most belongings and armor in process). There's twenty dretch based working team around the undead mammoth which otherwise looks passively standing there.
