He sprouted angelic wings and was soon aloft. Alya hesitated. She looked for the right moment to sing out. Darian called on Lathander's aid. His armor improved with the magic. Erin moved to Darian's aid. Richter prepared for the worst. From out of the trees a group of mounted orcs charged. Alya sang her song of grease. The riders didn't slow. Vlad fired his bow. He hit the lead orc, but did little to stop the horde or even that one rider. Fiddle waited for the riders to close. He then released his dagger. A glancing blow, not enough to unseat the fellow. Rats.Sully gained more height. He unrolled a new scroll. A bead of fire launched into the midst of the riders. BOooM. Half the riders and their horses went up in flames. Darian asked for more of Lathander's favor. It would ward evil out of reach. Lathander's mace struck out at a closing rider. Erin attacked one of the horseless orcs. Smoke got in his eyes. Richter lashed out with his whip. He caught one of the horses, but had to let the beast go before it dragged him. Alya began to sing. She downed a potion. The orcs charged. A spear pierced thru Darian's shield, his armor, his magic armor, his mobility, and stopped short of drawing blood due to the ward. Erin wasn't so lucky. The horseless orc had an axe and a temper. Erin went down. Fiddle also took two stabs from the riders. Luckily he had moved into a position so they couldn't bring their spears to full bear. Two more riders passed near Vlad. Vlad sank another arrow into a rider. This one fell off his high horse. But not fatally. Fiddle leapt up between the two riders he faced. He stabbed out with his dagger at one and Lightning Strike at the other. His sword bit deep. Both were now very wounded.Sully flew closer to Fiddle and Vlad. He fired off a missle at each of the wounded orcs around Fiddle. Both fell over dead. Darian directed his gaze on the orc most likely to be the leader. He called on Lathander. The orc had a change of heart. Erin's blood stopped flowing. He used his powers of mind to prevent his loss of life. He was still out of the fight and consciousness.  Richter picked a new foe. He moved to Vlad's aid. Alya moved to Erin. She sang a healing melody. Erin woke. Darian and the leader talked, while the last two orcs made preparation to attack Vlad. One dismounted and the other stood. Vlad stabbed the wounded one in the neck with his rapier. Fiddle moved in behind the last one. Lightning Strike caught a vital organ.Darian continued to talk to the leader. Sully and Fiddle looked at one another. Fiddle nodded. He pulled out his bow and moved into position."Peace be with you," Darian said.The orc mounted. He turned his back on the party. Thump, thump...plop. Fiddle placed 2 arrows into the left and right lung from behind. The orc was dead long before he hit the ground.</blockquote>
