Dartis and Barok
[sblock]
Barok slips off from Swift and readies himself for oncoming orcs. Dartis breaks the silence by letting two arrows fly at the largest and meanest of the group: an orc with a old scar that has blinded the warrior. Dartis' first shot buries itself deep into the orc's right arm, but the second shot is a critically great one, going through the humanoid's right eye and taking out parts of brain while it continues its path and exits via the back of the skull. As the large orc's body falls, the remaining orcs stand dumbfounded and shaken. You hear them murmur a word amongs one another: "Dul-keyar". Finally, one gathers his courage and charges, followed by the others, but because of the delay they only make it 30 feet. (now within 20 feet of you) Barok decides to charge the group and attacks the lead orc, but misses with his rapier.
Three more orcs appear from down a side street, about 60 feet to your right. Two look like young warriors, but the third is smaller and wears beads while carrying a totem staff.

Nikolos, Danica, and Ventus
[sblock]
On Ventus' command, Danica finds herself the first to act. She raises her crossbow and fires, an incredible shot that greatly injures the torch-bearering orc with a bolt deep into the back. It drops the torch and screams in pain while trying to drag itself back into a side street.
The other orcs move next, advancing, but not reaching the group. They all roar and seem to bring themselves into a barbaric bloodlust.
Nikolos had cast shield of faith before, and now that the orcs are visible, he reaches over and touches Ventus, who feels much stronger. Bull's strength on Ventus.
Ventus moves forward and strikes, the wound that he ends up dealing the orc would have been enough to normally injure the humanoid, but the extra strength given from Nikolos' spell drives his blade an inch deeper, slaying the creature outright as his short sword touches its heart.

Silas and Caramip
[sblock]
Caramip is the first to react, a magic spell halting the lead orc in its place. The other two run by him and are continuing towards the group in a barbaric rage when Silas' staff transforms and heads straight for them. The snake practically leaps from the ground, wrapping itself in a critically successful embrace of the lead orc, which screams in surprise. Its ally yells and attacks the snake, greatly harming but not killing it.
In the distance, you can see three more orcs appear. Two carry totem staffs, while another is a warrior type with a battle-axe.

OOC: I'm not sure if Caramip's spell will have the desired effect next round since charm person is described as a spell that makes a target a friend or ally, but not one that you can control or will do something that he would not normally do.
