"Perfect!" Eydis exclaimed, pumping her arm victoriously.

Finally hit my mark! Now let's try for one more shot like that... The elf thinks to herself as she begins to inscribe a rune in the air once more.

Eydis casts Rune of Skadi once more onto her crossbow. Not overcharging this time.

[Asta]

Feeling significantly better after Mimsy's spell healed her wounds, Sotu made a beeline for one of the kobolds escaping to the north. The larger pack to the south was likely to be wiped out soon by her companions before long so it wouldn't due to waste time chasing them.

"Huh. They're running away. Well, I guess they do that once they start dying." Eydis mutter to herself, taking up the reigns of the horses to follow after the group. I wonder if these kids have learned their lesson at all with this one. Maybe they'll be a little less restless.

Eydis moves the cart forward. I don't know the move speed, but I doubt it'll get anywhere close to the group/kobolds.

[Throndir]

Mounts in Combat
Horses, ponies, and riding dogs can serve readily as combat steeds. Mounts that do not possess combat training (see the Handle Animal skill) are frightened by combat. If you don't dismount, you must make a DC 20 Ride check each round as a move action to control such a mount. If you succeed, you can perform a standard action after the move action. If you fail, the move action becomes a full-round action, and you can't do anything else until your next turn.

Your mount acts on your initiative count as you direct it. You move at its speed, but the mount uses its action to move.

When you get a chance, Eydis to roll Ride check, at DC 20. If you succeed, you'd still have a Standard action left, use that as well. Otherwise, feel free to state different actions.

Well ok then, didn't expect that to succeed!

I still don't know the distance moved. But whatever it is, I don't think it got me within 160ft of #8. So I'll assume a -4 for distance.

Eydis scouts the group of kobolds as she moves, trying to aim at exactly the right spot. ...There! She steadies herself, exhaling to be as still as possible for another long shot.

Eydis shoots for the square just below #8. Should hit 7, 8, and 11.
