OoC:Yes, dropping the whip is fine, drawing the weapon would have provoked an AofOp, butthe orc is too far away, so a-chargin you shall go!
IC: Troi drops his whip and charges, his blade out, catching the Orc for minimal damage <2HP>.
The Orc laughs and rakes it's claws across Troi's chest, succeeding merely in ruining a fine shirt <miss>.
Felix shoots an arrow at the thing, causing Troi to exclaim in alarm as the arrow barely misses him as it hits the Orc in the gut <8HP>. The Orc looks suprised, then falls back against the doorframe, dead, slumping to the ground in a pool of blood.

Zoe, Velbrik and Rinaldo (along with little Daryn) advance to the open door, looking in cautiously. before they get there, the clearly smell burnng food, and Daryn says [COLOR]'Thas the Dinin Room, the kichens afer it.'
Peering in (using a lantern/Sunrod/torch I presume?), you see the body of an Orc lying at the far side of the room, a long tabe and many chairs (strewn about) signifying that this is indeed the Dining Room. The smell of burning food comes from the open door at the other side of the room.
