Intrepido attacks the orc with his sharp fangs, circling his prey, but the wolf fails to penetrate the armor of the humanoid.Having no clear shot and having his bardic music and magic foiled by the silence. Eldwyn drops his sling in his pouch and starts to work his way around the column to come in behind one of the guards. Seeing only pitch-black darkness behind the column, the halfling ponders about the wisdom of his idea, but on the plus side, he can now hear again, having left the radius of the silence.The orc on the right side also shows quick reactions and circles around the pillar to attack the first intruder in sight, which happens to be Kordunn. Slamming his falchion into the dwarves shoulder, the templeguard manages to wound him, but even though there is quite some power behind the blow, Kordunn is only lightly wounded.Elmus (Oog) raises his hand and fires off a bolt at one the orc on the other side, trying to catch him while still wary, while taking a few steps forward to have an unhindered line of fire. His plan pays off, and the bolt slams into the orc's chest, burning a deep hole inside and wounding him badly.Then it's Kordunn's turn to retaliate, and his magical longsword leaps forward towards the attacker and penetrates the stomach of the orc. The grunt of pain is visible on his face, but nothing can be heard.Approaching the orc to his right Selvaggio swings his club, hoping to kill him quickly, but the weapon misses its mark, unfortunately.Aylor sees the Orc hiding behind the pillar and eyes him greedly. Wanting to keep the group in formation she waits for the Orc to make the first move before reacting.Rover follows Eldwyn at his heels.The other templeguard now raises his mighty falchion to attack Intrepido, while stepping around the wolf to have solid stone covering his back. The blade misses the nimble animal.Aylor figures, that while that one is occupied, they can quickly down the other orc and changes sides to come out in the back of her prey. “Surprise!” Too bad, that her well-planned strike is executed with such fury, that it misses its mark.Kylest now rounds the pillar he has been hiding behing and attacks the orc from the opposite side of Selvaggio. His large sword cutting in from above somewhere between Aylor and the pillar, bites into the orc's shoulder and leaves the templeguard staggering.Dirtan seizes the opportunity to finish their first opponent, and the gnome moves in and hits the templeguard with his small fist. His hand is almost deflected by the orc's armor, but barely hits and the humanoid now seems at the end of his strength. Any further exertion will be his downfall.For a moment, it seems like the adventurers will be able to quickly overpower the interior guards of the temple, but then four more orcs appear deeper inside the hall, as they move their muscular bodies around the pillars. Like the two already engaged in combat, these wear chainmail and carry vicious blades.Status:Aylor - unscathedEldwyn - unscathedRover - unscathedKordunn - lightly wounded, Mage ArmorKylest - scratchedOog/Elmus - unscathedSelvaggio - unscathedIntrepido - unscathedDirtan - unscathedTempleguard V, VI, VII, VIII - unscathedTempleguard IV - moderately woundedTempleguard III - disabled, exhausted, 1 Dex damage[smallcaps]<a href="http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?p=3112135#post3112135" target="_blank">Combat Declarations</a>[/smallcaps]</blockquote>
