Never fails, with a flourish Elec-Squall snaps his fingers, and the resulting
BOOM echoed lightly.
Brigands, desist in your attack, and surrender your weapons, final warning. says the wizard as sparks coalesce down his sturdy form.
Hands rested casually on holstered wands, a calm before the storm... Eyes lowered into a steady gaze, taking in potential threats, reading the pattern, Elec-Squall was already selecting his next spell.

Silent as stone, Cairn follows the group. His sharp senses detect a threat even as it materializes. Rumbling starts and in not quite a shout he grinds out:
"Jackals only attack weaker then themselves and in great numbers. You got only one right. Retreat and live, attack and feed the jackals."
"Stasi, Euphie, fall back."
He swings his mighty weapon in wide arc, spectral vines sprouting from it as he pulls it back in sharp tug, pulling his target toward him.

Euphimia's cloak forms around her and she reaches into it drawing out her sword. She then hit it against the rubble next to her and it makes a sound like a tuning fork. Moments later the same sound starts to resonate from the orcs weapon that was next to her and the rings around her hands and feet.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" she asks the orc.
"I think you're going to have a bad day."

Seeing the many threats and quick misses, the Jackals respond in turn. One shifter calls out "Strike out quickly!" One of the half-orcs shout, "The Storm creature is high target!"
The shifter next to Stasi strikes fast and low. As he shifts his form part way round Stasi, his sword swung by, but found no mark.
The longtooth next to Shanairra moved closer to Elec-squall and tried to strike low as well. He hit his mark well, Elec buckles and is forced to favor one leg.
One of the half-orcs drop their bows, pull an axe and charges Euphie fiercly, but she manages to avoid the blow. Elec is not so lucky as the other half=orc digs his arrow into his arm.
The remaining orcs move around as well, trying to gain the most advantageous position. It is clear that they have experience fighting groups, as a group.
They also seem quite accurate as Cairn, Stasi, Euphie and Elec are all slammed with clubs.

THE MAP
Note: Dark Ruins are quite big, and provide full cover without trying. The light colored ruins, ie the thin wall in the lower right and the fallen column, provide partial cover or full cover if you croutch. Except for Filo, he gains full cover from the light colored rubble as well.
Squares containing two or three small thingies, represent light rubble. These can be moved through, but count as difficult terrain.
