He tries to hit the ogre's heart but misses by few inches, but still sinks his rapier into the ogre's chest. The ogre stagges back few steps, but even though it is seeminly heavily wounded, it keeps up and roars in pain.The robe-orc's eyes widen at the sight at Timothy's ogre-bashing, but he seems to recover from the shock and sprints towards the ogre. Chanting something and waving his hands, the robe-orc touches the backing ogres back. The ogre stops in it's tracks, the blood stops pouring from it's chest, and it lowers it's now much clearer gaze to Timothy.The tail-man runs from the forest, his almost black rapier drawn,  passes James and shouts: "Forget the damn diplomacy!" He jumps over the tree trunk while running, charging past the 2-axes-orc, heading towards the orc that was hit by his dagger. The still screaming orc's voice turns to incomprehensible gurgling as the tail-man slits it's throat with one horizontal strike. Electric surges run through the orc, making it twitch unnaturally, and it collapses to it's back.The other (now grataxe wielding) orc next to the tail-man shouts and swings it's axe in a mighty swim at the tail-man. The orc's attack is interrupted by your guide's swing towards the orc which forces it to interrupt the attack or lose half of it's face.The ogre seems to be regaining it's strength quickly, and it let's out a tremendous roar. It's eyes seem to lose all that there was left of human-like intelligence, and turn into those of a raving monster. Somehing else seems to be happening to the ogre also, as all of it's muscles swell. The ogre charges at Timothy, roaring manically, and basically jumps at him. Having really no chance of stopping the charging, muscular, at least 500-pound raging mass jumping at him, Timothy gets tacled by the ogre to the ground. The ogre closes it's hand around Timothys rapier-hand and shoulder, pushing him to the ground, still roaring. (OOC: You're grappled <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />)Running after Timothy, Orland notices that something has gone terribly wrong as it seems like Timothy is already in a "slightly" bad position, Orland thrusts his rapier to the ogre's shoulder. The orge reacts like being bitten by a bug and roars again, turning it's raging eyes to Orland. (OOC: Just though that you might want to help Timothy instead of "flanking" the ogre, as it's not possible anymore. Just correct me if you want to do something else.)Seeing that the fight is already raging fully, James tries to perform the flying kick at the 2-axes-orc. He delivers a devastating hit at the orc's shoulder, as the orc fails to dodge. The orc isn't finished this easily though, and it swings it's axes at James, it's first swing missing his head by mere inches. But distracted by the first swing, James fails to notice the other axe closing at his chest. The axe slices through his clothes and connects the flesh benath, cleaving a nice cut at James's chest. Fortunately for James, he managed to back of so that the axe didn't cleave but the surface, and the wound isn't deep enough to be anywhere near fatal. The orc grins, triumphtantly.OOC: I changed the HP calculation to max at first level, and 0.75 at levels after that. James just lost 8 HP.This has to be the longest post I have ever written here. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":eek:" /> *Note to self: Sneak attacks do scary amounts of damage.*Say hello to my "little" friend... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
