He waits to spring the trap once the orcs try and move upon his friends.Kordunn steps out and blasts bolts of pure arcane force through the entrance at the orc with the flail who looks like a leader, easily hitting him with both magical projectiles, which wound the tough half-orc lightly. He stands his ground drawing the orcs' attention to himself shouting dwarven battle cries at them.As everyone makes their move, Aylor turns the corner, levels her crossbow and takes aim at the lead orc, but misses the difficult mark. Right afterwards, she advances towards the oncoming horde.Removing the memory of one of this morning prayers to Mielikki, Selvaggio begins praying for the aid of the Forest Queen. The floor almost seems to shake as a low growl can be heard in between the orcs and the rest of the party.Dirtan steps out of the shadows as well, and moves forward to stand in the center of the group. There the Ilmatari recites an ancient prayer to the Triad, filling his companions and himself with hope.With a nod of understanding to Ditran, Eldwyn begins to read the scroll on top. Flame Strike not being the best indoor spell, Eldwyn casts it just outside between the orcish leader and the big ogre. While the letters vanish and the scroll crumbles to dust, a huge column of divine flames erupts between the orcs and burns them with holy fire. The leader of the small army and the dangerous-looking ogre are both badly scorched, as is one of the tougher orcs near them. Another orc and one of the two shamans are partially consumed by the flames and fall to the ground.Oog waited until the spell that Eldwyn happens before casting a bolt at the nearest standing orc. He giggles in glee, knowing this will be fun.With everything suddenly bursting into action around him, Rover decides to stay where he is, knowing that it will be safer that way.As the orcs charge forward, Kylest circles his greatsword around the pillar and catches one of the orcs unprepared. The forceful blow drops the humanoid right to the ground.The orc, that was hit by Oog's bolt, moves towards Kordunn, but fails to connect with the dwarven paladin, as his magical protections deflect the blow.Oog gets hit by another orc, who charged forward and slammed his mace into the small body. Luckily, most of the force was caught by the pillar standing between him and his victim, though.The next orc lowers his spear and charges towards Aylor, but the dwarven monk manages to avoid the attack.The other two orcs, that are inside the temple, lift the bar from the second entrance now, to allow more of their kin to come in.The orcish force waiting outside swarms into the temple now, shouting angrily as they approach. The three of them carrying bows, launch some arrows in the direction of the adventurers, but with little effect. The projectiles bounce harmlessly off the cover, or do not even manage to hit that.The leader of the orcs, a tall and muscular half-orc with a black chain armor and a wicked heavy flail, enters the temple after the bulk of his minions. While he moves forward, wary of the adventurers spellcasting prowess, he casts a spell of his own and some of the wounds already begin to close. Together with him, the ogre squeezes through the entrance and into the temple.Status:Aylor - unscathed, inspired, Prayer, Mage Armor, Protection from EvilEldwyn - unscathed, inspired, PrayerRover - unscathed, inspired, PrayerKordunn - lightly wounded, inspired, Prayer, Mage ArmorKylest - scratched, inspired, PrayerOog/Elmus - lightly wounded, inspired, PrayerSelvaggio - lightly wounded, inspired, PrayerIntrepido - scratched, inspired, PrayerDirtan - lightly wounded, inspired, PrayerMace - moderately woundedGruul - severely wounded, fatiguedOrc Elite Warrior II - critically wounded, exhaustedOrc Elite Warrior I - dyingOrc Shaman I - unscathedOrc Shaman II - dyingOrc Archer II - lightly woundedOrc Archer I, III - moderately woundedOrc III, VII, IX, X, XII - unscathedOrc IV, V, VIII, XI - lightly woundedOrc VI - moderately woundedOrc II - severely wounded, fatiguedOrc I - dying[smallcaps]<a href="http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?p=3178351#post3178351" target="_blank">Combat Declarations</a>[/smallcaps]</blockquote>
