Looking back at the others, Eolan nods his head and whispers, "I am ready, let's make this quick and quiet." An odd grin breaks his face, "Well, as quiet as possible."
As the others prepare themselves, Eolan will wait. When everyone is ready he will dash towards the chamber and their rendezvous with the orcs and goblins.
OOC:
If possible, Eolan will charge O2, if not, then he will charge O3. If neither is charge-able, then he will attack O2 normally, but placing himself in a position that he could cleave if successful.
He will also "borrow" 2 from his attack and add that to damage [ala power attack].

As the attack begins, Slyfen flattens himself up against the wall in an effort to hide from any enemies that might be watching. Slyfen almost seems to disappear into the rock wall. Hardin is impressed as he nearly loses sight of the elf.
Meanwhile, Eolan rushes into the cave chamber, sword raised and heading for an orc to kill!
Belisha readies her crossbow, preparing to fire at the next opponent she gets an open shot at.
Rufus turns around, and guards the party’s flank, growling slightly at the ominous darkness down the two stretches of tunnel.
Hardin, finally getting his slow body moving, lumbers toward the cavern. Though he can’t quite make it out of the mouth of the tunnel before the fighting starts, he tries to stay to one side as much as he can
OOC Notes:
Slyfen
Hide check result 7 + 10 = 17
Orc Spot checks
Orc 1: 15 + 1 – 7 – 5 = 4
Orc 4: 7 + 1 – 7 – 5 = -4
Eolan
Moves 30’
(You can only charge up to your speed in a surprise round
; but it looks like you will be able to charge in round 1 if you want to. 
)
Belisha
Readies crossbow attack against open target
Rufus
Readies attack against any possible threat from behind
Hardin
Moves 20’
Initiative order for round 1:

Not daring to look over his shoulder, yet feeling somewhat exposed, the fighter continues his charge into the midst of the orcs. Hoping that some of them are a bit confused, he counts on a quick strike, rather than a bashfest.
With his bastard sword raised high above his head, he grimly falls upon the enemy.
OOC:
Ach! The charge continues, Eolan will attack O2...hoping his mates will cover his back.
Again, Eolan will "borrow" 2 from his attack to add to damage, if applicable.

Round 1
Hoping to gain a tactical advantage, the rogue positions himself against the wall about halfway between the Y and the chamber in which the fight is beginning. He readies his deadly composite longbow for an attack against any unsuspecting enemy that might happen to get too close.
Meanwhile, Eolan continues to lunge into the battle, attacking the orc closest to him. He hacks the foul creature down while it is still fumbling about for its own weapon, eradicating the threat before it has a chance to materialize.
Belisha, positioning herself for an open shot into the chamber, moves forward and readies her crossbow for an attack against an open enemy. Rufus moves up until he is behind Slyfen, and similarly prepares an attack against any threat.
The goblins across the room react to the rapid incursion into their lair. Two of them pick up their morningstars and begin moving widely around the table to attempt a flanking maneuver. The third steps to the wall, and picks up the dwarven waraxe. He then turns and scans the intruders, stopping when his eyes fall on the dwarf.
The orcs grab their falchions from the table. The orc closest to Eolan steps closer to the knight and brings his falchion down on the knight. Fortunately for Eolan, the chain shirt under his cloak holds, and he is not hurt. The other two orcs rush around the table, setting themselves up for attacks on either the knight or the cleric.
Seeing this, the cleric decides to beat them at their own game. He moves in between their trajectories to Eolan’s side, and swiftly hammers down the orc there. Standing above two dying orcs, Hardin hopes that he and Eolan can quickly dispatch the other two before the goblins get into the fight.

As adrenaline courses through this red-headed warrior's veins, the scene around him slows. Each heartbeat is a drumbeat in his ears. Each step seems to slow as his body moves in practiced step. Footwork, balance, sword-thrust . . . years of practice melt into only one thing, the here and now. All his attention is focused on just the next step.
Seeing the goblins move into flanking positions, Eolan quickly realizes these are more practiced fighters than many of the other goblins he has fought.
Giving Hardin but the briefest of glances and a hearty, "Good work!", he turns to cover his back and attack the orc closest to himself. Standing his ground, Eolan reads himself for the next opponent. In a high over hand arc, the fighter swings his bastard sword at the orc.
occ:
normal attack on orc (O4).
