Gadeann growls in frustration as his axe misses its mark. Despite his rather bad position behind Orman, Gadeann shakes his head and again swings his polearm past his companion. This time, the blow strikes home despite the interposing swashbuckler. The blade of the axe bites deeply into the half-orc's shoulder, eliciting a loud cry of pain.
Coldan lumbers up the opposite stairs toward the unconscious pair of newcomers, but, slowed by his heavy mail, is unable to quite reach their fallen forms.
"Very well then, drop your flail, surrender, and I won't make you," Orman replies to the strange half-orc. Orman's blade flashes in an escordido maneuver of the incarne style after ducking the spiked metal bludgeon, plunging straight through the giggling one's studdled leather and running him clean through. The pucker-scarred half-orc giggles no more as he slumps to the catwalk in a spreading pool of his own blood.

COMBAT ENDS
With no further enemies to be seen, everyone stops to catch their breath. The sounds of whimpering, crying children are magnified in the sudden quiet as the violence ends.
OOC: Combat is over for now, and there are 26 frightened children cowering in their hammocks. The giggling half-orc is dying, and the gnome and blonde human lie unconscious from the color spray spell. What will you do next?
