[QUOTE="kinem, post: 5997290, member: 24234"] Though she'd only heard one coming, three figures charged out of the woods towards her. Their brown studded leather armor perhaps gave some camouflage among the trees. Their falchions were drawn and they began to shout in their own guttural language. From their grayish-green skin, flat nose, and tusk-like teeth, Ann knew them to be orcs. She had thought that the bright morning sunlight would make such attacks unlikely, and she could see that they were squinting and bothered by it, but that disadvantage was more than compensated for by their greater number. Holding her longsword in a two-handed grip, the Dame did not hesitate to strike the first blow, and her sword pierced the abdomen of the lead orc. A man would have fallen then. The ferocious orc remained on his feet and tried to return the favor, but he missed. "This is our land!" one of the other orcs told her in a rough voice as they moved to flank her. "Now you are ours." His falchion flashed by inches in front of her face. "We argued" the other said "to make a half orc with you or a dinner from you. We chose dinner!" His blade struck a glancing blow on her chainmail, but it was enough to ruin much of the boost she still felt from the morning's breakfast. Ann's reply was another thrust into the stomach of the wounded orc, and it was enough to bring him down. The two remaining orcs, one on either side of her, swung again. Their heavy blades packed more power than a longsword, though their lighter armor was Ann's main advantage. One of the falchions struck true this time; a small cut to her leg, but it was enough to tell her that she was in serious trouble. Ann's next swing of her sword was off, easily dodged by the more talkative orc. [/QUOTE]
