You hear laughter erupt from the treeline. Arrows continue to sail from the treeline to your location.
Avan is able to find some cover behind a piece of driftwood, though it is not much. He is unable to see an arrow coming in from the sky and is hit by it in back (5 points of damage).
Asthelion is not encouraged when he hears the laughter and sees even more arrows heading his way and he turns to see Avan running away leaving him. As any sane person would do, the rogue makes the wise and tactful decision of putting his knees to the breeze and following his companion.
"Just so you know, we're not retreating from a bunch of sea thugs!", Asthelion shouts to Avan as his cavalier mood and adrenaline begins to kick in once more,"We're simply making a tactical retreat!"

Astheion groans as he weighs his options. The lighthouse is closer but they'd be trapped at the top. He and Avan could probably lose the pirates in the foliage off to the right but it would be quite the sprint through a gauntlet of arrows and other undesirables. He decided to take his chances with a sprint.
The rogue motions towards the foliage to his right, "Make for the trees! We might be able to lose them in there. Swimming might be a better option than running if you can manage it. Not me though!", and without waiting for an answer he begins doing serpentine maneuvers towards the trees so the pirates can't get a clear shot at him.
