Feint Whispers: Unearthing the Past

[jasamcarl]

Ardoss and Bhartus guide the lift down to an even lower level of the ruins. As the creaking of gears comes to a halt, the party notes that there is a passage leading out of the lift room to the east, strewn with rubble. The two orcs that occupy said corridor look to the platform, their greataxes held high. One yells in broken north common and with a fierce growl, 'Leader! Leader!' They are some 10 feet from Jericho and Tarowyn, who are the nearest.


Initiative: Tarowyn, Jericho and Whitney, the orcs, Ardoss, Bhartus

 

[KaintheSeeker]

Whitney growls and if looks alone could kill Jericho would be cinders as she drops to one knee and sights down her crossbow at one of the orcs. "Men!"

Taking the shot on her action

 

[Tokiwong]

Jericho charges the speaking orc....

"Yaleleleleleleleleleleeeeeee!!!!!" he cries as he brings his blade down into a terrible slash...

 

[Mirth]

As the Orcs come into view, Tarowyn shouts "Orc scum dead ahead!" and fires on the first Orc he gets in his sights. If Jericho's NOT in the way by the next round, Tarowyn will fire again. If he is, Tarowyn draws his rapier and dagger and rushes into hand-to-hand.

 

[Talindra]

Ardoss draws his rapier, and moves into the melee, flanking the orc that Jericho attacked, if it lives.

 

[jasamcarl]

Tarowyn fires upon the shouting orc which is able to avoid the arrow, but not Jerichos blade, leading to the vile creature's decapitation. Whitney's bolt pierces the arm of the second orc as it swings at Jericho with its greataxe; but the swift warrior is able to avoid the axehead with a duck. Ardoss then flanks the creature and slashes its spinal column in two with his rapier, felling it.

Everyone hears the footsteps from down the easter corridor.



Initiative: Tarowyn and newcomer, Jericho and Whitney, Ardoss, Bhartus

As of yet no one sees or knows the exact location of the newcomer to the combat. You have one round to act before it gets to the room.

 

[Mirth]

Tarowyn finds whatever kind of cover that he can and prepares to fire with his bow on the newcomer.

 

[Krug]

Bhartus casts Bless on the group.

Hopefully the combat will last longer that the past few, he thinks to himself.

 

[Tokiwong]

Jericho stands his ground making himself the most likely target of attack...

"A D'orite hides from no beast, nor man, nor thing, come and meet my blade..." he beckons...

 

[jasamcarl]

Just in case i wasn't clear, i need to know what everyone is doing for this free round. Whitney and Ardoss, that means you.
