((So egan's thing here is to basically run towards them and then when he thinks he's nearby, to slow down. That sounds like a mind roll to me. And because everyone is following him, I'm gonna assume they do the same thing, chasing him and slowing when he does. Hope he doesn't fuck up! Except of course for Sy. He'll stay 100 feet back at least.))
I'm going to move as fast as possible until I think I'm near, and then sneak the remaining distance. If the rest of the party is going to bumrush, then split from them, and try to do the same thing as I tried the last fight, running into the fight from stealth and blasting him.

Knowing when to hold'em, when to fold'em, and when to stop running like an idiot roll [15]Uh oh. Well he's boned. But maybe Bill with his animal senses can hold off the rest?
Literal spider sense roll [8]Man, Bill and his big brain is saving everyone these days. Well, almost everyone.
Gordon leads the group at a jog, shotgun cradled under one arm as he scans the trees and ground. The rest of the group follows behind, most keeping close but Alanna hangs a good 20 back, and Sy follows along as far back as physically possible. The tracking is remarkably easy; there are marks not only on the first tree but on several others along the way. It's a simple matter of moving from one mark to the other, in what is more or less a straight line. Gordon gets caught up in the excitement of it, running from one mark to the next with ever increasing glee. He slaps one with his free hand and runs forward in search of the next. The rest of the team is following close behind when Bill's spider suddenly stops and rears back, physically blocking them from continuing. Gordon runs ahead, around the base of a particularly large tree, and finds himself at the edge of a clearing. This clearing is small, really just the space between a few trees, maybe a hundred feet across. In it are a few tents made out of sheets of metal and stacked stones, not much more than crude shields against the more violent sorts of weather. There are stacked boxes scattered around as well, some broken open with their contents visible, others still closed; no doubt the stolen cargo from the caravans. Over by one stack of boxes, loading food into a sack, is the wizard and his last remaining gunman.

The gunman drops his sack of food and takes a snap shot at Gordon, barely taking time to aim. The shot just barely clips Gordon, blowing a clean hole through his shirt and cutting shallowly into the skin around his ribs. The wizard pulls one of the bottles off his bandolier and hurls it towards Gordon, but it falls short and bursts into a wall of flame a few feet in front of him.
