Suddenly, most of the chamber went darker than night. Viarar marched forward, disappearing into the darkness toward the crowd of orcs. Then, there was a deafening boom that rang in everyone's ears. Angis came up beside Tommi, and he shouldered his way in. As Angis swung his axes, it appeared that Shalendra would block with her magical shield, but Escella, from her position at the entry, pulled the magical energy toward herself, and the shield failed.Angis thrust the butt of one axe into the elf lady's stomache, knocking the wind out of her. As she stumbled forward, he brought the flat of his axe down on the back of her head, and she hit the ground hard, nose-first.The Red Wizard had been heading for the northern portal when the darkness fell around him. He was in a crowd of orcs and as disciplined as they were (a well-trained army) they were orcs. When they found themselves plunged into darkness, they grew confused, and they wouldn't move to let him through. Vairar walked right into one. It didn't attack, but it pushed him back. Vairar well recognised the smell of a nearby orc, and he blasted the group with thunder and fury.Escella could see the whole thing while the others couldn't. The orcs and the Red Wizard flew about like pins at a faire. They smashed into the wall (a few were thrown through the portal gate). All lay still at Vairar's feet.Lionel had been lucky. As soon as he couldn't see, he had rolled to his left, following the curve of the wall. He felt the orc's huge sword swoosh over his head and Viarar's blast had added momentum to his roll, but he was unharmed when he came to his feet near the east portal. He could hear orcs coming out of that portal. Many orcs were chanting and banging their shields through the gate. Perhaps hundreds, he couldn't be sure. As he tried to find his way through the darkness, an orc bumped into him. He stumbled out into the light to watch that orc charge toward Talynen, though the elf saw him coming just in time and ducked the sword swing.Orcs would soon be pouring through the east gate if they didn't find a way to close it.Lionel pulled up the hood of the wolf-pelt cloak that he had won from Titus in a game of cards, and he shifted into the form of a wolf.[ooc]Vairar kills all the orcs but TO6, who blindly missed Lionel (as did the Thunderwave); Red Wizard died. Tommi missed and took 6 from the fire, but Angis knocked out Shalendra (because Escella countered her shield spell); More orcs are coming through the east gate. O7 just missed Talynen. Lionel turned into a wolf. It's not quite over yet.[spoiler="Rolls"]O6 vs Lionel<a href="http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=255013" target="_blank">Sword: 2D20.LOW(1)+5 = [5, 13]+5 = 10 miss</a>Red Wizard vs Vairar<a href="http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=254981" target="_blank">dc14 Con Save: 1D20+2 = [6]+2 = 8</a> Oops!Orcs vs Vairar<a href="http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=254982" target="_blank"> dc14 Con Save</a><a href="http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=254982" target="_blank">OBG1: 1D20+3 = [7]+3 = 10 Fail</a><a href="http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=254982" target="_blank">TO1: 1D20+3 = [8]+3 = 11 Fail</a><a href="http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=254982" target="_blank">TO2: 1D20+3 = [19]+3 = 22 made it</a><a href="http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=254982" target="_blank">TO3: 1D20+3 = [7]+3 = 10 Fail</a><a href="http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=254982" target="_blank">TO4: 1D20+3 = [4]+3 = 7 Fail</a><a href="http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=254982" target="_blank">TO5: 1D20+3 = [2]+3 = 5 Fail</a><a href="http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=254982" target="_blank">TO6: 1D20+3 = [12]+3 = 15 Made it.
