[QUOTE="Guilt Puppy, post: 1971574, member: 6521"] [i](Not clear on the intended chronology of these actions, so I'm going to assume they occur pretty much simultaneously...)[/i] Oliver and Raven make their way upstairs unhindered... They find the orcs sleeping in separate rooms, and encounter no trouble in dispatching them silently. [i](I went ahead and rolled, since there was only a small chance of anything going wrong, and you ended up well outside any margin for failure...)[/i] -- As Nurthk opens the door to the cellar and heads down, he sees through the darkness (a darkness substantial enough to hinder the others, were they to come) two orcs: One lightly armored, pacing about the center of the room with a short blade on his belt; the other, a large fellow with a scarred face and a pale gleaming glass eye, sitting on a crate, with an exotic-looking double-axe propped against the wall beside him. The latter wears a breastplate painted in orcish design... [i]Faux[/i] orcish design, it seems -- the orcish-[i]looking[/i] tags and symbols have no real meaning. Both react to the door opening: [i]"Thurgash?"[/i] the leader calls out -- not an orcish word, probably a name. -- Meanwhile, Hiritus mis-step seems to draw attention from the others. You can hear voices of mild alarm and movement from the room at the back of the house; out front, it appears that the orc you can see through the window is being alerted of something from the other. You have only a moment to react before he turns around; to hide, to move, to attack, or what have you. Shavah remains outside the back window at Tatlock's side. [/QUOTE]
