Decided to just roll initiative every round, so I'm listing it in your quotes right after your name. ^^
Wonder what the bandits are after.
(Int, Easy modifer+1: 2) Clearly they're after the town's food, belongings, and women. (Agi: 7, fail) Taric moved to give chase but a random passing Zira whipped its tail at him at just the right height and caught him right in the jewels. Eyes wide in pain, he falls (End: 10, critical fail) screaming in agony about damned lizards and their damned muscular tails, pounding the ground with a fist and generally making a spectacle of himself.
The Zira scampered off as one of the raiders fired at it, and a group of about fifteen meandered over to Taric, pointing guns. "Well, well, looks like we got a loner here," one said, chewing on what appears to be a leaf. "Donner, pick up that gun." Taric realized he had dropped his rifle when he had gotten hit, and was now at the mercy of the raiders. One hit him in the head, and everything went black...
Flee, gathering up as many villagers as I can
(End: 4, success) Unfortunately for Tarran, Rebecca may have been drinking but she wasn't a lightweight... and even after shenanigans she awakened quickly enough to realize what was going on. (Cha: 6, fail) Hungover and confused, she was unable to get anyone to listen to her. Even Tarran had slipped away when she turned her back. (Agi: 8, fail) And when she turned to run herself, she found she was hemmed in by several gun-toting raiders. "It's a woman," the leader of this group said. "Leave her alive, but knock her out." Rebecca turned just in time to see the butt of the shotgun coming. (End: 2, success) She fell to the ground, dazed but not unconscious. She pretended to be anyway. "Tie her up." Rebecca flexed her forearms as the man tied them together, so when she relaxed the rope would be loose and easy to slip off. Eyes closed, she felt one pick her up roughly and sling her onto his shoulders to carry off.
(Edit here, for clarification purposes) She also heard him grunt as he bent his knees so he could pick up her spear, before he started walking to the area where they were holding their captives.
Awake from slumber as a man! And put clothes/backpack and fists on and GTFO of the village
Awakening quickly, it took only moments for Marion to grasp the situation and get ready to leave. He still remembered the first time; damn if he was going to be killed in a second raid. Ilyana was dressing too and left the tent just as he did. (Agi: 1, overshoot) Marion slipped into the underbrush and got away easily... but the leaves rustled as he did so, and the raiders saw Ilyana entering them. "Freeze!" She took a step back, hands up and trembling.
Assist in slowing down/ Escaping raiders
(Int: 2, success) Enriqe grabbed a nearby known poisonous flower and, carefully protecting his hands, squeezed its juices on the caltrops. Any raider that stepped on those was really going to regret it! (Agi: 10, critical failure) But he became so engrossed in what he was doing that he didn't notice Simon take off. While looking around for another flower, he heard a shotgun being pumped behind him. "Lookie here boys, got another midnight rambler," one of the bandits drawled. "Take 'im." (End: 9, failure) Enriqe was cracked in the back of the head with a pistol and fell to the ground, unconscious.
Quickly hide and try to leave village unnoticed! If there's still time before they reach us prepare some simple traps to slow their pursue.
(Agi: 6, success. Int: 4, success.) Simon slid into the shadows as smoothly and naturally as he ever did. There were a few traps he knew how to make from the surroundings and he did so with efficiency, making caltrops from the stiff spines on the thorny bushes. These he threaded across a vine and left trailing across the path. The raiders had already passed him, but they would find coming back this way to be slow going. Finished with his work, he slipped away to the closest safe spot he knew: the side of the mountain.
"Everyone, run for your lives! Forget whatever you may want from your homes, for your life is far more important!"
Hope that my virginity is still intact then run away while helping the girl I just spent a night with run away.
(Cha: 5, fail) Tarran attempted to calm the crowd, but nothing doing there. He came back around the side of the tent to see Rebecca take a hit and get tied up. (Int: 2, success. Agi: 3, success) He realizes it's a fight he can't win and runs, bumping into Marion in the shadows a few moments later.
---------------------
Enriqe, Taric, Rebecca, and the NPC Ilyana have been captured by raiders. Will Tarran, Simon, and Marion try to save them? (Taric and Riccto, you guys don't have to post an action this round if you don't want to since you're unconscious.
Dwarmin, you can either wait to see what happens or try to escape now, up to you.)
