Alex positions himself right behind Ubaar, ready to strike at the drow when they get close enough.Meanwhile, Alcar and the other HOrc prepare to fact the onslaught back to back.As the drow approach, swords in hand, the leader pulls out and throws a net onto Ubaar, entangling him.  Ubaar ignores it for the time being and lashes out with his tail as they approach (25 dmg each). Each blow knocks them back some, and the tail tears the chests out of the two lesser-armored ones. the other two hack at Ubaar, slashing into the huge bony plates of his trunk twice with their blades (30 dmg).  While they are distracted fighting Ubaar, Alex jumps onto a loose rope and swings into a drow rapier-first, stabbing him through the chest and dropping him.  Alex lets the blade slide out of his quarry as he turns on the rope and swings back to safety behind Ubaar.  The drow, surprised to see there two lacing into them like this, are clearly frightened as Ubaar steps forward.  His Hizarkurr blade sparks and flashes eagerly as he swings it, slashing through the chest of one so hard that a pair of ribs fly out, then spinning with the blow and beheading the drow warrior before he hits the ground."  Meanwhile, Alcar and the other Horc are not quite as successful.  The four drow move in on the HOrc and Alcar, netting the Orc first.  The HOrc flies into a rage, and one of them slashes him. He instantly succumbs to the green poison on the blade and falls.  Alcar swings his Maul once, driving them back slightly, and then swings it again, turning  the front half of the lead drow warrior's face into a sticky paste and throwing him a good ten feet.Frian still needs to go....Post for next round....</blockquote>
