[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 8087800, member: 59816"] Dandin called to Tommi, but his friend was already loading a stone. Tommi whipped the stone, straight and true for the orc shaman, but it pinged off of Sir Darfin's invisible barrier. Tommi was embarrassed, and he pushed off into the bushes to work his way toward the sniper, as the halfling had instructed. Dandin stabbed the rather larger orog in the leg, but the big brute just grunted and raised an axe. As the axe fell on him, Dandin tried to parry, but the blows where far stronger than he imagined, and he was driven nearly to the ground. Escella had finally managed to strike the sniper with her strange eldritch energy. She wondered why it had failed her so much here - it felt as if it were weakened, as if the power within her was weakened by some external will. She shivered, as if she were cold, while the elf guard arched an eyebrow at her. Vairar ran his spear through an orog, freeing Angis to heal himself and to work his way toward the other Orog. Blocked by the invisible wall, the dwarf healed himself. Vairar shouted in gutteral, fully-fluent orcish, and the Ogress, as she climbed over the invisible wall (landing with a loud thump) answered him: [spoiler="Orcish"]"Naw, yer a traitor. We gonna gut this elf-prince like a fish, 'fore we come for you, elf-lover."[/spoiler] Then she rushed at Sir Darfin, clawing with her strapped-on wrist claws. Two guards stood between her and the elf-lord, but still she managed to scratch him from over their heads. While TItus held the horses so the wagon would not lurch (they were skittish from the smell of the bear), Lionel fired the mounted crossbow over the head of the orc sniper on the ridge. He watched for a moment, and he noticed how the archer would lean out as he fired his bow. [I]Lower next time![/I] he thought as he reloaded the crossbow. ORB5 buzzed around the sniper's head and suddenly let out a flash of electricity. As the orc recovered from the zap (his greasy mane fluffed out), the little construct buzzed away. The orc took aim at the fleeing thing, firing an arrow that bounced off of a magical force-shield. Cussing, the orc turned his sights back below and spotted Tommi shuffling through the underbrush below him. He took careful aim and struck the boy hard in the shoulder. While the battle raged, the bear was left on its own. It struggled free of its collar and began to paw at the walls of the force-cage. The orc shaman was there as well, and for the moment, the two ignored each other as the shaman cast a woeful bane spell that caused a great sense of unease to fall over the field, most notably effecting Angis, Dandin, Sir Darfin, and his two guards.
