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.Status:Aylor - unscathedEldwyn - unscathedRover - unscathedKordunn - lightly wounded, Mage ArmorKylest - moderately woundedOog/Elmus - unscathedSelvaggio - unscathedIntrepido - unscathedDirtan - unscathedTempleguard II - lightly woundedGatekeeper - dyingTempleguard I - dying[smallcaps]<a href="http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?p=3091138#post3091138" target="_blank">Combat Declarations</a>[/smallcaps]</blockquote>
