Wulf sets the bag of mead down in the sled, commands his dogs to stay, then hops off and prepares to face his foe in single combat.
The dice have favored me so far, let's hope they continue to do so.

Bjorn rolls his shoulders back, gathers his strenght and courage.

When the ranger hits the shore he plans to intercept his attack with an attack of his own.

When the Rathgar hits the shore, Bjorn steps aside and plunges his dagger into his foe's shoulder. Quickly he pulls it out again as the ranger passes him. But the Rathgar is also agile and with the quickness of a cat, he slashes at Bjorn in passing and rips open Bjorn's side. On the shore, they circle around eachother, waiting for an opening.

Ulberth waits on his sled for Wulf to make the first move. The seasoned warrior knows to wait for the perfect opportunity for the kill. Wulf ties the aleskin to the sled and gets off, dagger drawn. Slowly, he closes in on the Rathgar chieftain.
You can power attack for 1 to 6 points, they are subtracted from your attack roll and added to damage.
Bjorn attacks ranger
rolled 7+2 (with power attack 2)=11 vs 11, hit for 9 damage.

Rathgar attacks Bjorn:
rolled 18 vs 12 hit for 5 damage.

Ulberth/Wulf: no melee this round - though Wulf could move and attack next round, or charge or do something else...

Total distance covered:
Ulberth 900m (entrance to clearing)
Wulf 930m (in the clearing)

Health update:
Bjorn: 17/26
Wulf: 22/22
Ulberth: full
Rathgar ranger: -9

Wulf approaches his foe carefully, then, as though testing his foe's defense, he launches a careful attack.
close to melee range, then make an attack on the Defensive.

Bjorn circles the warrior "I'm fighting for my life, I will NOT back down"
With that he slashes at the warrior again.

Bjorn holds his dagger fast and makes a furious attack, but the other warrior jumps out of the way. The Rathgar ranger attacks Bjorn, but he also misses.

Wulf warily moves up to Ulberth, who takes a few steps to meet him. Wulf aims for the throat, but Ulberth moves just before the strike connects, and so Wulf only hits the shoulder. Ulberth cries out furiously and lashes out, but Wulf deftly parries the older man's attempt at his life.
Initiatives: Bjorn 13
Wulf 12
Ranger 9
Ulberth: 8

Bjorn attacks (power attack 2): 8 vs 13, miss.
Wulf attacks (on the defensive): rolled natural 20* (again!) vs 11, hit. Confirm crit: 6 vs 11, fail. 6 damage.

Ulberth: Trip attack: 14 vs 16 miss.
Rathgar warrior: attack 6 vs 12 miss.

Total distance covered:
Ulberth 900m (entrance to clearing)
Wulf's sled 930m (in the clearing)

Health update:
Bjorn: 17/26
Wulf: 22/22
Ulberth: -6
Rathgar ranger: -9

Wulf grins and stabs at his foe again, this time not worrying quite as much about his defence.
Regular attack on Ulberth

Again, Wulf slashes at the large strong man with his dagger. He is quicker than his foe and the blade connects. The Chieftain grits his teeth and uses his left hand to shove Wulf with enough force to make him fall to the ground. Then he tries to plunge his dagger into Wulf's heart, but the ranger rolls on the ground and the blade only hits his thigh, causing a lot of pain. Grinning, Ulberth runs of in direction of Wulf's sled, leaving Wulf lying in the snow, bleeding.

Wulf attacks Ulberth:
- rolled 19 vs 11, hit for 4 damage.
Ulberth (Trip attack/ move)
- Trip attack: 23 vs 14, hit.
- Tripping: Natural 20 (for 28 total) vs. 16+4=20. Prone.
- Follow up attack: 14 vs 10 hit for 7 damage.
Move 10 m towards Wulfs sled.

Total distance covered:
Wulf: 900m
Ulberth 910m (running in the clearing towards Wulf's sled).
Wulf's sled 930m (in the clearing)

Health update:
Bjorn: 17/26
Wulf: 15/22
Ulberth: -10
Rathgar ranger: -9
Bjorn...

Bjorn moves the dagger in his fingers, a forward grip, a reverse grip, constantly eying his opponent, searching for the opportune moment to strike.

Shifting his weight from one foot to the other and moving his dagger in his fingers, Bjorn suddenly finds an opening, one step to the wrong side that his opponent did, and lunges forward, plunging his dagger into the man's breast. The Rathgar falls with a gurgling sound and lies still on the white snow.
Bjorn attacks: 17+6=23 vs 13, hit for 7 damage.
The Rathgar is dead or dying.

Total distance covered:
Wulf: 900m
Ulberth 910m (running in the clearing towards Wulf's sled).
Wulf's sled 930m (in the clearing)

Health update:
Bjorn: 17/26
Wulf: 15/22
Ulberth: -10
Rathgar ranger: -16, dead or dying.
Wulf, on the ground...
Bjorn, having bested his foe...
