ROUND 3 PART I:
Wendigo turns and nods to Tregar as the dwarf's holy power knocks the orc flying. Swiftly turning to the sound of the new enemies he sees the shaman taking cover in the pews. His feet move swiftly beneath him as he jumps over the corner of the pews.
(Athletics check to leap corner of pews DC 10: [10] + 8 = 18 *success*) Landing softly, he continues his quick movement, taking the shaman by surprise.
(Move action to R9) A hammerfist slams into the orc's back followed by a kick into her ribs, sounding throughout the temple with a resounding *crack*.
(Dancing Cobra vs Witch Doctor AC 15: 28 *hit* / 10 + 5 flurry = 15 damage) The orc crone cries out in pain and puts her hands up in a defense manner, although Wendigo has seen what she can do to not be lulled into pulling back.
Gloomblade watches closely as the additional orcs enter the chamber. He keeps his head down in hopes that he can remain hidden from the drudges flooding the room.
(Stealth check vs Drudges Passive Perception 10: 17 *success*) The half-orc fingers his blade, awaiting an opportunity to act.
(Ready action to attack first orc who comes within melee range)
Dorn Tirae exclaims to all,
“They strike out of fear and desperation! They only have numbers, we have the right!” (Virtue of Valor activated: +4 THP to an ally within 10 squares who bloodies or reduces a target to 0 HP) His bellow ringing the hall, Dorn leaps down to the pews,
(Move action to R13) then charges as the witch-woman, Shimersong wavering with power.
(Charge action to S9 vs Witch Doctor Ref 14: 28 *hit* / 11 damage / target takes -2 to Reflex until ENT) As the blade cuts, he shouts,
“Bring the power of Moradin, Tregar! Blast this one to nothing!” However, as he withdraws the blade from the new cavity he just created in her chest, he sees her eyes roll back into her head and drop dead and he sheepishly turns back to the invoker.
“Uh… nevermind.”
With both the sergeant and witch doctor dead on the ground, a howl goes up from one of the
orcs in the balcony. He raises his bellybow and aims it at the bard who just killed the old crone. He fires the bolt and luckily for Dorn, slams into the pew right in front of where he is standing. Only an inch of pine separated the bolt from his pelvic area.
(U4 Bellybow attack vs Dorn AC 18 + 2 cover = 20: [9] + 8 = 17 *miss*) The orc screams an obscenity and then begins the arduous reload process.
(Move action to reload) The other
bolter scans the hall for targets, but with Henry and Gala fighting his amongst friends, Gloomblade successfully hidden and Tregar behind the altar… Wendigo is the only good target. He raises and fires, and finally manages to hit! A massive shot to the shifter’s shoulder that sends him sprawling into Dorn, knocking them both in and amongst the pews.
(D10 Bellybow attack vs Wendigo AC 17: [12] + 8 = 20 *hit* / [7] + 2 = 9 - 4 THP = 5 damage / pushed 1 square) The orc bolter also reloads.
(Move action to reload)
The
orc raider that was pummeled by Henry tries to move on, but the agony in his leg makes him change his mind. No sense moving onto another target if he’s going to have to limp his way there. Instead, the orc spins around and whirls his greataxe above his head, bringing it down with a massive attack that catches the fighter in his side. Blood begins seeping through Henry’s clothes, turning his tunic a bright shade of red.
(O4 Greataxe attack vs Henry AC 19: [19] + 8 = 27 *hit* / [12] + 2 = 14 damage)
Dorn’s look back at the dwarf that bears the symbol of Moradin standing at the altar, immediately catches the other
orc raider’s eye.
(P4) Another dwarf to kill! he thinks, and he rushes forward in a blaze of speed.
(Move action to P10) With Tregar in his sights, he charges full bore up the steps of the dais, his greataxe poised to crush the wimpy dwarf.
(Speed 8 while charging: Charge to P17) Even with the extra protection standing behind the altar gives him, he cannot escape the wrath of the orc, who slams his greataxe into the wood, splintering the altar and sending shards of it throuyh the hide armor he wears.
(Charging greataxe attack vs Tregar AC 18 + 2 cover = 20: [13] + 8 + 1 charge = 22 *hit* / [6] + 2 = 8 damage)
Gala smells the incoming orcs, and her sensitive ears hear the one approaching from behind her. Her head swivels around knowing that he has moved into her range, and she barks fiercely and lashes out with her paws. However, with her impaired vision, she does not manage to catch anything.
(Grasping Claws vs R3 Ref 12 + 5 total conceal = 17: [4] + 8 = 12 *miss*) She also knows the orc with the huge bolt thrower is close, so she carefully backs up the stairs towards him.
(Move action to shift to T3) As she does so, the spots begin to clear themselves up and she can finally see again! Just as the bolt thrower turns to look down at her!
(Save vs blinded: [16] *success*)
Henry Butcher then realizes the problems her is currently facing.
