[QUOTE="Hrothgar, post: 3626777, member: 22226"] Kaela does not hesitate, conjuring more pinpoints of light from Aryth herself. With a flick of her wrist, Kaela sends the motes of light smashing into the ogre, the massive creature shaking in rage and pain. [COLOR=SlateGray]OOC: Kaela hits the ogre with magic missile, but the massive creature is still fighting.[/COLOR] Towering over Kaela, the oruk roars a challenge. [COLOR=Red]Now your turn, sow![/COLOR] Kaela cringes as the axe hits her, its edge biting through her meager clothes. [COLOR=SlateGray]OOC: Kaela takes 14 points of damage.[/COLOR] Slowly pulling herself to her knees, bloodied and battered, Ladriel's conjuring is nothing more than a whisper. Instantly, the area around the oruk is seemingly swept by a strong wind, the oruk's arm covering his face to protect his eyes. The oruk's armor rings in the forest, as if it is battered by some unseen force. The oruk roars in fear as it swings its axe blindly in a wide arc. Lodric braces himself, again lashing out with a powerful punch. Unlike his first attempt, this more tentative attempt is unsuccessful, his fist making contact but bouncing off a knot of muscle and armor. The enraged ogre swings its warbar in a massive arc, narrowly missing the Erenlander. [COLOR=SlateGray]OOC: Ogre and Lodric both missed.[/COLOR] Starhl's sword shears through the orc that was attacking him, dropping it in a crash on the stoney ground, and crashes into the orc standing over Cyz. The orc sweeps in at Starhl and grazes the big man with his vardatch. Cyz jumps on the orcs back, jabbing her fingers into the beast's neck. The orc drops to its knees, choking on its own blood. Behind, a vardatch swing opens up a wound on the wolf. The wolf launches itself at the orc, tearing with incredible fury. [COLOR=SlateGray]OOC: Starhl drops one orc and Cleaves another. Cyz finishes the one Starhl Cleaved. The wolf and another orc exchange damage. No orcs are attacking Starl or Cyz.[/COLOR] Taking a step back, Valurel fires his bow at the wounded orc, but the arrow ricochets off its shield. It swings its vardatch, the steel whistling through the air on a narrow miss. The second orc connects with its vardatch, leaving a ugly cut on Valurel's thigh. [COLOR=SlateGray]OOC: Valurel takes 10 points of damage. Two orcs are still attacking Valurel.[/COLOR] Seeing Kaela, Ladriel, and Lodric facing such dire creatures, Mardo is worried. He swings his stone with urgency born from fear. The stone flies true, striking the orc in the nose. Blood flows down its nose as it looks up into the trees and snarls at the gnome. [COLOR=SlateGray]OOC: Mardo's stone hit, but the orc is still up. [/COLOR] Herger roars back at the Shadow's strike force. His axe rips through another orc, its body a bloody mess of torn flesh. Again, the momentum of Herger's axe carries it into the other orc. This time it shears through the shield, lodging itself in the howling orc. The orc rips its shield off the axe and brings its vardatch down on Herger's arms. [COLOR=SlateGray]OOC: Herger dropped one orc and hurt another.

The force of the impact drops several Elves from the tree. The tree itself shudders and groans in pain. The stone valley itself begins to shake as the stone floor cracks and grinds. OOC: End of round two. Please post character actions, attack bonuses, damage, and any feats you want to use. [/QUOTE]
