OOC: Too bad we can only go once per "issue" presented... cause Vyrna is a pretty decent bluff (+10)!

While the others are discussing how to get the orcs to open the door, Eva considers different contingency plans...

"Why Shun...and here I thought you were the respectable type...I'm surprised in you...and have quite a bit more respect for you now!" she says, winking flirtatiously.

Uhhh, Vyrna, do you have something stuck in your eye there?

Thinking about it some more, we probably don't want to go back and drag that guard all the way over here. But it doesn't look like there's a peephole anyways. Why don't we just knock on the door and ask them to come out?

OOC: Does it look like we'd have trouble breaking down the door with brute force if we need to?

Knowing that orcs were generally dumb, brutish things who's thoughts tended to run along the patterns of killing and eating, she knew she would need to give a good, tempting reason for the others to come out and into the open.

While she had her group hide along the wall to either side of the door (but outside of its swing range), she took a few steps back into the chamber (so that she would be the sole focal point) and then shouts at the orcs inside the other room.

HEY! LET GO OF ME! HALFLING NOT FOOD! WHY YOU DRAG ME TO DOOR!? I NOT ORC FOOD! I NOT ORC FOOD![/sblock]

Then, Vyrna slams her fist into the ground as hard as she could, giving out a shout like she had been bashed into the ground. Then, she quickly rushes to her companions sides waiting for the door to open.

As Vyrna calls her bluff there’s silence beyond the door. Loud footsteps approach, and an ugly orc’s face, scarred and brutal, appears beyond. Words congeal on his lips as he sees you all, and stepas backwards as you pour into the room.

There are two other orcs in there, reaching for their weapons, (so there wasn’t 5 of them as you believed) with one of them looking like a priest of their religion. You don’t recognize what god they worship, but their sign is painted on the walls at several places: a red circle with one black spot in the center, like a red shield or a very round bloodshot eye.

Also, a large dog wakes near the priest. You’d think a dog and three orcs are no match for you, but this thing’s mouth drips molten saliva that bursts into flame when hitting the floor.

The central altar and the columns are blocking terrain and provide cover; this means for example that you can’t move from G8 to H9, you must pass through H8 first. The stairs leading to the altar are difficult terrain. The cave is well lit with torches.[/sblock]

[sblock=actions]Starting where she is so that Lilli can get to O8 might not be a bad idea to try and wrangle an area slow spell centred in L12 or maybe K12 for the orc warriors.

Lilli scored initiative:

Ryan grins with his weapons at the ready " let's get them ! "
