A Ravine Near Highport, Pomarj
Raggs jukes and jives into cover under the brush, emerging in AH,32 behind the nearest two orcs. Amaya lets fly with her crossbow, but her shot goes wide, and does Simon's. [OOC: Short bows ROF is 2 in AD&D remember, Insight, so I think you have another arrow coming.] Iono speaks words of power and creates an energy ball in his palm. He focuses his will and the ball takes the shape of a silver, sparkling bolt of energy. A sly, mischievous grin worms its way across the mage’s face as he directs the magical bolt to the nearest Orc, AH32 again, and it bursts upon his chest with violence, charring his face and killing him.
[O1 is dead, all others are untouched.] Orcs 3, 4, and 5 stride forward and launch javelins at the adventurers who have partial cover thanks to the woods, 4&5 attacking Simon and 3 attacking Amaya. Orc 2 also throws a javelin at Amaya from his present position. A small hail of javelins flies in the general direction of the adventurers, but all the missiles are foiled by the numerous tree branches of the sheltering forest canopy, and none of them strikes true. The adventurers are up again, plus Simon's extra shortbow shot overlooked this round.
