It was Brechin's turn to hiss back at the rogue.
Master dwarf! I would no sooner leave my meagre coin with you than look a cockatrice in the eyes! Since you have come up with no serious alternative, then I suggest we try my idea. I feel sure that our ambush would be enough to take these beasts unawares.
Brechin moves back as the dwarf suggests, readies his bow and shoots off an arrow, preferably two then draws his sword and charges.

"Oh, the other alternative is leaving this place, not that I´ll think you´re going to do that. But don´t shoot from here; let´s fall back a while, enough for them to have you enough time to shoot twice. I´ll hide near, so I can ambush one of them as they try to reach you. We´ll be able to kill two or three of them if we´re lucky. Shoot first those who actually are handling the weapons."

Brechin moves back to a defensible position within bowshot, but still out of sight of the orcs and starts loosing hos arrows at designated targets who look most ready to be able to ruch him.

Brechen and the dwarf start thier vally at the orcs, and catch them by surprise. THey are happy to see their assualt bring down two in quick order, and then one more before he can make it to the trees. The two from the other side of the camp that they had only guessed were there prove to be more of an issue. The paladin has to abandon his bow as one makes it within striking distance, and finds that he's pressed as they exchange blows.
Meanwhile the dwarf takes the other out with a sling only to realize taht there was yet another orc, who snuck through the woods to stike at them, and takes a wound to the side for his lack of knowledge. Dropping the sling, and pulling out his shortsword, he starts to trade blows with the orc, smiling as he notes taht he has an advantage... he knows how to fight orcs!
Soon, the battle ends, and the two of you pant from the short battle, both bleeding, the paladin from a few minor cuts (luckely), and the dwarf from the one wound.
(COngrats! You've made second level! Go ahead and update your sheets with new hitpoint totals, saves and any advancement of skill (though only ones that you have already, since there is no training available... you CAN save skill points for a time when those are available, however).

"Ouch!" says Dunathar. "Let´s attack them! you said. Well, now I´m hurt."
"At least they are dead. Let´s see what the had on... I hope these have something, not like the others." Dunathar spits on the floor. "Dirty, poor orc scum..."
OOC: Changes to the sheet are: Added a level of Rogue (so now Rogue 2). I rolled a 2 for hit points, so Dunathar has now 12. Reflex saves go up by +1. Added 1 skill point to Listen, Spot, Move Silently, Search, Hide, Tumble, Open Lock, Appraise, Pick Pockets, Disable Device. Attack bonuses go up by +1. Now has Evasion.

Taking a deep breath to calm the emotions of the battle within his head, Brechin nods at the dwarf's words.
Aye dirty. He sniffs the air, noting how already one of the ugly beast's bowels had loosened. We should burn their corpses too. Be quick about your search master dwarf, I fear I may lose the contents of my stomach all too soon at this rate!
((OOC: Thanks for the link Mith - went up a level in Paladin, rolled a 6 for my HP(+8 including con bonus) so now have 20hp's, bab now +2, fort +1, now have smite evil(1/day) & Aura of courage, spot skill is now +3))

The two go about their seperate duties, the paladin preparing the bodies of the orcs for barial (or bonfire) and the dwarf looking for loot. He discovers two sacks, one very large containing an unconcious child with blond long hair and blood over it's face. It's hard to tell if it's male of female... with it only a little out of the sack from the dwarves searching. The other contains a golden urn, a silver pipe, a pouch of gold and silver, plus 3 ornate, but well balanced daggers.
