Jack waits backing up 10ft., in a stupid move Jack begins to light a torch.
Leonara slowly advances forward, together with Stalker.
Despite being confident in Glandred's ability to handle two orcs in combat, Thodan moves into the tunnel to provide her with some support. As he moves, he chants a brief orison, causing his shield to begin shining with a torch-like glow.
The Orc closest to Glandred attacks the she-dwarf ferociously trying in vain to find a chink in her defences.
Meanwhile the second Orc waits impatiently by the portal, suddenly the faint purplish light disappears and bright sunlight streams in thru the open portal, leaping forward the Orc disappears and momentarily blocks out the sunlight, speaking a phrase in Orcish the portal begins to flicker, one moment sunlight is streaming thru the next the portal is illuminated by a faint purplish light as the portal begins to close.
Vardrin eases up slowly, holding his white wand ahead of him. When he is just behind Jack, he notices the one Orc by the purple glow.
What is that thing? Matters not, kill the Orc first. With a sharp word, snowy flurries spray at the Orc!
Hoping to catch the Orc with his wand, Vardrin adjusts his aim slightly and targets the ground next to the portal, the snowball flurry erupts around the portal as it begins to close, whether or not it affected the Orc is hard to tell, as there was no answering cry of pain to accompany Vardrin's spell.
Realizing that at this particular point in time she will more than likely do more harm than good, Nira simply decides to wait and see what happens.
Glandred spins her axes in a deadly arc striking at the nearest Orc, missing completely with her hand axe Glandred manages to strike two lightning fast blows with her Dwarven Waraxe, both of which leave behind devastating wounds which causes the Orc to collapse into a lifeless heap.

OOC: The bright yellow circle is the radius of Thodan's light spell, the light yellow circle is what can be seen via the 'dim light' emitted by the light spell (characters with low-light vision can see double the range show with the two circles)
Also the white squares on the map are what can be seen using mundane vision, the light grey squares is what can be seen with low-light vision and the dark grey squares are what can be seen with darkvision (assuming you're within 60' of course).
