Spears pass through the orc from both sides its smelly hide armor unable to turn sharp elven steel. Each guard startles as the spearheads come from the opposite directions toward them and smile grimly at one another over the corpse. Incredibly, the orc manages to attack with his dying breath, clawing at the elf in front of him, but the guards move in sync and block the attacks toward the priest with their shields!In seconds, three elves, three spears and three dead orcs.On the other side of the stone barrier, the remaining guard bypasses orc armor completely, the spear passing just under the lower edge of the cuirass. Holding the shield high and the spear low has some advantages it seems as the orc gurgles and slumps onto the spear, dead.One orc charges at the elf guard, his charge partially covered by the falling body of his comrade. As the elf turned and finished another, the orc slams into the shield partially rotating the elf and attacking unprotected back! Blood flows as the claws damage the armor around the neck and the next attack seriously cuts into the flesh. Elf guard is barely standing after savage attack.The other, maybe just a bit smarter, charges Angis who is at the moment left alone by its guard. Its swipe catches the ranger by surprise, leaving a scratch across his hand. The other hand catches onto the blade of the axe ranger reflexively raised. If the thing survives the encounter it will have something to remember it by as the blade slices into its bracer.OOC: apologies to Angis / [USER=6801311]@KahlessNestor[/USER] - I rolled randomly for the order and the target...sorry <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" />[spoiler=Elven guard action]<a href="http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=239806" target="_blank">Init: 1D20+1 = [17]+1 = 18;1D20+1 = [2]+1 = 3;1D20+1 = [4]+1 = 5</a>Rolled for relative speeds against the orcsG1 18G2 3G3 5Guard 3 Move X24 --> X22Guard 3 attacks orc in W22 (flanking)  <-- I believe this is ORC 3 from N8?
