Alright, TURN!
I had to take action to save Frelock this turn, and luckily that action didn't land on a 1. More or less, this turn is beneficial to you all.
------------
Turn 13 ------------
I run into the keep then. I have a feeling there's something going to happen there.
| The keep's a large building, and lugging that halberd around ain't too easy. You make it to the entrance of the keep and stop to catch your breath. You're still outside. (+1 probability bonus on arrow evasion due to location)
I head to the keep to help my dwarven brothers of blood.
| You run to the street, but get stuck in the doorway, too big to fit through with the armor. Winnie the Pooh suddenly comes to mind… (-1 to moving)
I head to the keep.
| You stumble on all the clothing you were digging through, tangle up, and don't manage to leave the shop building.
I heal myself. If the concentration bonus works when healing two targets, I also heal Rooster.
Nope, sorry, only one target.
| Despite your earlier training, you cannot focus enough to use your TK powers due to pain.
| You give in to pain and pass out. (Unconscious, -2 to all rolls, failguard)
Well, I almost missed the background check and did something silly. I'll head to the keep.
| You head towards the keep, but see the same group of 5 elves LASD saw, walking cautiously towards the keep.
| You manage to take cover in the bushes without attracting their attention.
I rest myself, hoping that my ailments will go away.
| Just as you were about to doze off, you suddenly realised that for whatever reason, you would need to sleep exactly 8 hours before you can wake up. Horrified by the thought of being eaten by elves in your sleep, you force yourself to be awake. You're a little drowsy. (-1 to concentration and accuracy)
(AI): Realising what I have done, I rush over to Frelock and heal his wounds.
| For some reason (quite possibly because of your recent surge) you suddenly understand the principles of the fine use of TK more clearly. You throw the remains of the log off of Frelock's legs, and quickly encase him in a shell of TK force, binding his torn flesh and melding his shattered bones together. When you are done, Frelock is as good as if he just stepped out of the cloning tank. Even his underwear was unharmed, but it's now soaked in his own blood. He's still unconscious though. (You need one more Perfect use for a skill boost.)
I try to give my illusions an ability to daze my opponents.
| Even for all your training with illusions, you cannot make them affect the mental state of your enemies. You probably could if you tried to improve the power you have though. Nevertheless, you feel your face getting slightly better. (only -1 on sight dodge now)
I go in the closed shop.
| You approach the shop and carefully
pull the door. It opens! You walk inside.
| Bingo! On all of the shelves in the shop lie various pieces of armor, shields of different sizes are hung on the walls, and arrayed under the shelves are enough various boots to outfit a battalion. At the far end of the building, there is an single wide table with a chest on it.
(AI): I go to da keep.
| On your long journey towards the keep, you encounter the first insurmountable obstacle - Jay Kayell, stuck in the doorway in all his armor. You stop, puzzled, and try to think of a way to go out.

NPC Actions:
I'm a lil bit annoyed by having to do circles around "Sword-elf 1"s for names, so I'll give them some identifiers if you don't mind. This one has pale green hair, and wields a longsword and shield of wood. Let's call him "Greeny".
This one wields a shortsword, and is slightly shorter than the rest. Let's call him "Shorty".
This one also has a shortsword, and looks around warily as he walks. Let's call him "Sneaky".
This elf's face has obviously seen better days, it's scarred all over. He has a longbow. Let's call him "Scary".
This one seems to have been in battle not long ago. He's slightly wounded in the leg, but is no longer bleeding. Carries a shortbow. Let's call him "Limpy".
The group is heading towards the keep, slowly, trying to avoid being seen by the defenders (ultimately failing because of you people though)
------------
Arrowfest! Only your luck will save you!
Boksi:
| It was hard to get hit with all that rock covering you from one side, so you weren't.
korora:
| None of the arrows could find you in your hiding place.
Group of elves:
| A few arrows fell among the elves, but they gracefully evaded them.
