Feint Whispers Chapter #4: The Hallowed Hills

Norri's entire body seems to make one big twitch as he avoids a wave of fire. Emerging unscathed he changes plans, realising the best way to help Bhartus now would be to end the combat quickly. He moves over to the spellcaster now, attempting to cut open the orc.

Tarowyn runs to Bhartus' aid, leaving Jericho to deal with his orc. He will dispense 2 CLW potions to the fallen cleric.
 

Norri's dagger moves swiftly, lopping off the finger that the orc shamen used to unleash his sorcerous flames, blood spilling over the halfling's leather armor. (Critical)

As Tarowyn steps over to aid Bhartus, the orcs take their oppurtunity to swing their axes. The one with whom he was in melee scars the elfs back. As the battle rages around him, he is able to treat the dwarf with one of his potions, making the fallen cleric's breathing more steady.

Tarowyn takes 5

Bhartus regains 3. He is now stable at -3.

Two of the orcs crown move on Whitney. One is able to to but the head of the wizardress with its axe. The other tries to lop off Tarowyn's head, but the elf ducks towards Bhartus.

Whitney takes 10.

Jericho moves and with one clean cleave removes the head of one of the orcs engaging Whitney and the one attacking Tarowyn.

Whitney is up. One axe bearing orc left as well as the shaman in combat with Norri.

"I will skin yah, you stupid orc for hurting my lady love!" Jericho brings the blade down on the orc facing Whitney, though if that one is finished he will rush to assist Norri, and attempt to flank the orc shaman.
 


The orc shamen grunts in poor common, "Brave little one, but..." he steps back 5ft mumbling as a red glow emmits from his body. Suddenly, three duplicates of the orc emerge from his body, "Homzahk of the Crookedtusk recieve more than strength from Orcfather (Grummsh)." All the clones appear to speak simultaneously.

Norri: you can not distinguish which one is the original.

Whitney carefully steps back from the orc in an attempt to avoid the oncomeing melee with the D'orite.

Norri is up.

Bhartus regains 3. He is now stable at -3.

Tarowyn takes the chance to quickly pour another CLW potion down Bhartus' throat. "Come on, Bhartus! We need your help here!" the elf roughly whispers as he leaves the dwarf's side and returns to melee with the orc that is attacking Whitney.
 


Norri's lunge at one of the 'shamans' is unsuccessful as the creature steps to the side.

Tarowyn further administration of the healing potion to the Bhartus proves successful in reviving the dwarf, even as the elf has to avoid another swing of the orc's axe.

Bhartus regains 7. He is now at 4 and can take his turn this round, though it will be move-equivilant to stand.

The orc swings at the angered Jericho, its axehead only managing to glance of his armor, the D'orite responding with a sideways cut which tears a wicked scar through the orc's chest. The creature collapses to the ground, a pool of blood splattering though the cavern floor.

The orc shamen illusions begin chanting, green energy arising from each as a similarly colored explosion erupts around Whitney, the feint glow spreading out over 15ft. It does not appear to have an effect.

Whitney is up. Just the orc shaman and his three images remain.

Jericho spins on his heels, and chuckles dryly, "Where is ye foul father now, ORC!" Jericho scowls, but hangs back waiting for Whitney to act before he goes a killing...
