The knight-turned constable roars a battlecry as he meets the charging orc with a fierce overhead swing of his broadsword! The orc warrior somehow remains on his feet, but he is sorely wounded.

The orc swings his bastard sword in a high arc and Alarion sees that the blade crackles with magical energy an instant before the steel strikes him. (13 total damage including 4 electrical)

Tau watches carefully as the robed Orc disappears. "Drak!" he yells angrily. "Let's see if I can bring him back." He begins a short chant and a burst of violet appears where the orc last stood. Sure enough the the robed orc is outlined just steps from where you last saw him. However, the victory is short lived as the orc moves northeast and vanishes between the silo and the house.

His spell cast, Brae steps forward and strikes at the orc swordman with his quarterstaff, hoping to keep the warrior occupied so that Alarion can put him down.

Meanwhile, a cloud of silver and white mist coalesces into the form of a mighty bison. Its snow-white hide and silvery hoofs and horns betray its celestial nature as it stamps its foot and charges toward the group of orcs hiding near the smokehouse.

His intention to pincushion the robed orc frustrated, SoulFetter quickly shifts his aim to the closest foe. The four foot long, thumb thick shaft flies true, sinking deeply into the orc's gut. The Orc sort of curls up around the over-sized missile and falls.

His spell cast, Brae steps forward and strikes at the orc swordman with his quarterstaff, hoping to keep the warrior occupied so that Alarion can put him down. The blow is well aimed and clips the warrior's shoulder.

Meanwhile, a cloud of silver and white mist coalesces into the form of a mighty bison. Its snow-white hide and silvery hoofs and horns betray its celestial nature as it stamps its foot and charges toward the group of orcs hiding near the smokehouse.

Braz calmly levels his crossbow and fires another pair of bolts at the orc swordman. The cool marksmanship is enough to finish off the warrior. He tumbles to the ground still clutching his powerful blade.

Darius sends another 3 arrows winging at the orcs and leaving one badly (3) badly wounded. He bites back his usual taunting, hoping to surprise and flank the group charging by on the other side of the smokehouse.

The remaining orcs continue to charge forward. A large female orcrat who is unusually large and fierce looking charges Darius and swings a brutal meat cleaver in a powerful overhand strike no doubt practiced butchering animals for the orc dinner table. The wound isn't serious (6 damage) but Darius feels a terrible drain of his life force. The Orcrat also pales suffering from the magic as well.

[sblock=Darius]You take two negative levels.

A creature takes the following penalties for each negative level it has gained:

•-1 on all skill checks and ability checks.
•-1 on attack rolls and saving throws.
•-5 hit points.
•-1 effective level (whenever the creature’s level is used in a die roll or calculation, reduce it by one for each negative level).
•If the victim casts spells, she loses access to one spell as if she had cast her highest-level, currently available spell. (If she has more than one spell at her highest level, she chooses which she loses.) In addition, when she next prepares spells or regains spell slots, she gets one less spell slot at her highest spell level.
Negative levels remain until 24 hours have passed or until they are removed with a spell, such as restoration. If a negative level is not removed before 24 hours have passed, the affected creature must attempt a Fortitude save (DC 10 + ½ draining creature’s racial HD + draining creature’s Cha modifier; the exact DC is given in the creature’s descriptive text). On a success, the negative level goes away with no harm to the creature. On a failure, the negative level goes away, but the creature’s level is also reduced by one. A separate saving throw is required for each negative level.

None of the other orcs manages to land a blow.

Thea gave one more glance towards the building that was sheltering the orc shaman, but she wasn't about to charge over there by herself. Instead she stepped forward a pace and used her wand to fire an arcane dart at one of the advancing orcs.

Thea gave one more glance towards the building that was sheltering the orc shaman, but she wasn't about to charge over there by herself. Instead she stepped forward a pace and used her wand to fire an arcane dart at one of the advancing orcs. The missile flies startlingly close to the noses of some of her fellow Constables before striking the target squarely. While the orcrat isn't badly wounded, he looks like he'd rather be somewhere else.

Raul, seeing an opponent almost at the group, lets his crossbow hang. Making a step towards the nearest orc, he pummels it with an empty-handed flurry of blows.

Alarion slashes at the other orc threatening him, but the squirrelly villain dodges.
