The Sceptre of Kings-A Heroic Dwarven Quest

OOC: And my initative sucks again...

IC: Elspeth will follow behind the Prince, but hanging back. She won't draw her second sword yet but hang back in reserve and react as and when.

Mohgrym moves quickly towards a position just inside the north door and readies his crossbow.

Denzenai moves to a position near the door, but so that he can't be seen immediately from the door, and readies to kick the first orc that makes it next to him in the face.

OOC: Uhh... I can't explain it.

OoC:Everyone is in place on their pre-combat round...


At the end of this 'pre' round, the doors open and three very suprised looking Orcs stand there, holding bundles of weapons...
I'm not sure if jarval is around, but three orcs hardly warrent using his spells up, so I will have him Hold.

Round 1


Stori Holds ...

Mohgyrm fires his crossbow and smiles with satisfaction as it hits the nearest Orc in the chest <7HP>, though it fails to drop him.

Duranom also hits this orc with a bolt <5HP>, and the orc falls, weapons clattering upon the floor with a rersounding *crash*...

Denzenai, already close enough to attack the poor foolish Orc, leaps up, catching the middle orc in the head with axe-kick to his face <11HP>, as well as a quick palm to his jaw <12HP>. The orc falls, quite dead.

Rament moves in, the Orc trying to swing a falchion at him, dropping most of his carried weapons and failing miserably in the process. rament catches the orc in the Knee, severing his leg <crit 17HP>, taking off the Orc's head as an afterthought...

Within the other chamber, the Forge's have stopped.

OoC: remaining characters, the Map shows your location, act as you can with the visibility you have.

Kelen 9
Elspeth 7
Alembregh 3

The far doors (West) are closed. The openings to the N-W and
S-W are open, and as stated before, the 4 'quads' are sunken a bit.

Round 1 continued...

Alembregh looks appreciatingly at the group. "Nice work lads! I'd say we check out the previous rooms first, just to be sure."

OOC: From the description I presume that the doors are open, and the orcs in the forge are going to notice, if they haven't already, that we just killed three of them. Even if they didn't, we just made a lot of noise. In which case...

IC:

Elspeth realizes that the other orcs are going to react, and that the most important thing is to stop them warning anyone else. To wit, she will Haste herself and then move through the doors to J9, hopefully soaking the two OOAs and bearing down on Orc #11 looking at her most fearsomely draconic.

As yet unsure of the threat posed by the orcs in the forge, Storí unslings his crossbow and stands ready with the weapon, taking the best shot that presents itself. He'll stand his ground and reload, unless threatened.

"As you wish mylord I shall double check the last room to the north. I think it might be best if the rest of you continued to fight here I shall be back in a few seconds. Save a few for me!" With that Mohgrym manifests fly provided his previous one expired (lasted 100mins). He then moves up the north corridor at a speed of 90. He is careful not to touch anything he doesnt have too (ie the walls or the floor) he just wants to peak into the north room to make sure there is no one is there. He will open the door thinking the trap expended.
