Cool.

The defenders shoot at you for [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/16369]19[/url]. Even with cover that'll still hit you. That being said, Shortfang was ready for this and took the shot for you. He'll be taking [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/16370]17[/url] points of damage.

The passage is about 50 feet away from where you're currently at. There is no cover and the passage looks barely big enough to fit Buddy, but it can certainly fit you, Pylia, and Shortfang. The crocodile and it's rider are moving away from it however, since they don't know it's there, so you'll need to start running now, and you will be fired upon one more time as it happens.
