Surprise Round
Battle Map - Round 0-S
Selvaggio steps out of his hiding place and immediately releases the prepared arrow against the elder orc in the back rank. The projectile pierces into the orc's shoulder and the spell cast on it completely muffles the surprised scream. Intrepido remains close to his master.
As so often, Elmus (Oog) is the first to react, stepping away from the door, where he had hidden himself, he shoots one of his deadly bolts at the first orc in sight, wounding him badly.
As the arrow flies towards the orcs, Kylest is following close in it's wake, his feet slapping noiselessly on the cobblestones and his mouth open in a silent shout as he charges out of the ruined building. The longspear of the templeguard catches the dwarf off-guard, the orc seems to have rather good reflexes after all, but Kylest just bites his teeth and continues despite the nasty wound it left him with. Spurred even further, the dwarf's greatsword cleaves into the hated foe and the mortal wound combined with the wound already sustained from Oog's bolt is too much even for the tough orc, who drops lifelessly to the ground.
Kordunn isn't as surprised by the orc's clever use of his reach weapon, being quite adept in its use as well, he knows there is little he can do but to hope on the magical armor surrounding him. It does not prove enough against the orc's longspear and so the Azuthian also suffers a wound before he can bring his own longsword to bear, which in turn delivers a wound against the orc.
Dirtan follows the dwarven paladin, charging in from the side, and the nimble gnome has it easier to duck under the incoming spear apparantly and so he can avoid being hit. His own fist slams into the orc's thigh with little effect, a strange golden glow surrounding his fingers as they make contact, but the orc seems to be unaffected by whatever magic Dirtan is using against him.
Once again Eldwyn sets his trusty sling in motion. "I wonder if that white haired fellow is a shaman or something." He takes aim at the fellow and looses the bullet, hitting him on the chest.
Aylor had eyed the orcs as a large cat would eye its prey. Once the signal is given, she too like her companions, charges in for the kill. Since her intended target went down quickly, she just moves on through and slams her fist into the elder orc behind the fallen foe. The forceful blow knocks him off his feat, the gnarled cane clatters to the ground without even a hint of a sound, and the white-haired orc lies motionless to her feet.
The last standing orc's screams are likewise silenced. With grim determination he tightens the grip around the spearshaft, knowing quite well what fate he's looking at.

Round 1
Battle Map - Round 1
Seeing that his companions have everything under control, Selvaggio and Intrepido approach the two fallen orcs. Selvaggio keeps his eye on the one still standing, just in case he tries to flee.
"Now go amuse your dark gods," says Oog, casting a bolt at the last orc, narrowly missing his target in the melee.
With grim faced determinism, Kylest moves to ensure that no orc manages to raise the alarm. Having learned his lesson regarding orc's with spears, he tries to duck and roll under the blade and come up, swinging his own sword at the final foe, as he moves behind him. The greatsword cuts a deep wound into the orc's belly. His face is showing the pain, his scream remains silent, however.
Kordunn presses his attack, the magic longsword flashing quickly in his capable hands as the foe is still distracted by Kylest's attack. The blade barely pierces the chain armor of the orc, but still manages to wound him further.
Not yet defeated, the orc bites his teeth and slams the spearhead into Aylor, who has the ill fortune of standing at the right striking distance at this moment. Piercing into the dwarf's flesh, the spear leaves a deep wound guided by the powerful orc.
Following the dwarven example, Dirtan likewise presses his attack and in a flurry of blows his fists lash out against the orc. One is a solid hit and from the look of it also hurt quite well, especially considering his small size, and the orc staggers from the impact seemingly having lost some of his coordination. Again the slight golden glow around Dirtan's hands could be seen.
After exposing the orc geezer's pea sized brain to daylight by smashing its skull, Aylor spins around just as the last orc wounds her with his spear. Her angry shouts silenced by the spell, she just slams her fists into the guard in a furious attempt to knock him to the floor as well. Once she is finished with him, the orc lays down to rest as his limp body smashes onto the stone paving.
The temple guards are defeated!

Aylor Creegan
Placing pressure on her wound, she nods her head towards the cleric. "Aye, much thanks." Says Aylor.

Kneeling down near the bodies, Selvaggio rifles through any pockets or pouches.
