Message: <blockquote data-quote="diaglo" data-source="post: 467472" data-attributes="member: 2885">VictoryThe orc warrior moved away from combat and downed a potion. His tribesmen occupied Thane, Pepto, and Eric's attentions. Thane was struck and fell. Timmay's magic caused the proud warrior to cry. The Fat Man also cast a spell. The area around Bernedette was suddenly very quiet. Eric brought one of the orcs to his knees. His follow thru strike was uneffective. Bartol regained the use of his limbs. He quickly fired an arrow into one of the crossbowmen. Although it didn't kill the orc, the impact was enough to cause it to pass out. He advanced and slung his bow. Bernedette, not knowing if she had lost her hearing or was indeed under a spell, closed on the Fat Man. The orc spellflinger was also now in the area of effect. The caster moved to get clear of the spell. Unfortunately, Pepto's dog took a bite out of the caster's hide. Pepto tumbled for a strike on the orc warrior. But his armor protected him from the lady halfling's blade. The orc in the grass was stuck again.The sobbing orc warrior moved back into the melee. He was almost healthy again. His attack was errant. The crossbowman missed. The remaining orcs ignored Thane and took swings at Pepto, Eric, and wolverine, all for naught. Timmay closed to Thane's side and used another potion. He now had only one left. The Fat Man, feeling the effects of his own magic used against him, struck Bernedette as he fled. Bernedette passed out. He was struck by the halfling as he ran past. The orc spellcaster manuevered defensively enough to hit the dog with a bolt of magic. The dog retaliated. The caster was down. Eric and the wolverine attacked the orc warrior with gusto. But he remained standing. Well long enough for Pepto to finish him. Bartol drew his sword and ran one of the orcs thru on his way after the Fat Man. Amy gave chase. The orc in the grass broke free again. He traveled closer to the tent.The Fat Man ran past the last orc crossbowman. The crossbowman was reloading his heavy crossbow. The 5 other orc warriors battled fought on. They drew blood from Pepto and Eric, but missed the wolverine. Eric, Thane, Pepto and the wolverine made short work of the orcs. Well Eric mainly, his sword seemed to move almost unhindered thru the orcs armor. Timmay fired a crossbow bolt into the fleeing Fat Man's back. The Chauntean cleric was feeling the effects of his injuries. Amy ran under the crossbowman's legs and closed on the escaping cleric.  The Fat Man spun around and flattened the cat with his mace. Bernedette's body shuddered. Bartol lopped the crossbowman's head off just as the orc finished loading his crossbow. The Fat Man and 1 stuck orc were all that remained of the party's opposition. And it looked like the Fat Man would almost be in the clear. Then Pepto's dog appeared. He grabbed the cleric by the throat and ravaged him. That left orc in the grass, he was almost to the tent.Pepto pulled up short of the flailing grass. She hurled a dagger, but it was too short of the orc. Bartol bent down and picked up the loaded heavy crossbow."Surrender," Bartol yelled. No response from the orc. So he fired. Crossbows weren't his thing.The others began the gruesome task of searching the bodies. Timmay hurried over to Amy. And using the last of the potions revived the cat. A second or two more and she would've been a goner. Bartol flung the useless crossbow and drew his bow. He casually pulled back and let fly and arrow. It caught the orc in the throat as it was opening the tent flap.</blockquote>
