Remnants of the Horde-Flight from Aruth

Round 2 Action

Smiling with joy as his spear punches through the elf's chest - good eating, there - Wekerak spurs Frostbite on, barking an order as he does so,

"Punch through! Stop fer nothin'! When I gi' the word, we wheel 'n charge!"

OOC: Wekerak's plan is to hook round the back of the elven lines and attack the archers who are firing on the hobgoblins. The hobs may be arrogant, but they're our best, most disciplined fighters. That means they get to stay alive a little longer :)

End of Round One
OoC:I still need an action from Krug, though he said he was unable to post until tonight

ROUND TWO

Clearing,Durgo&Bargo

Throwing his shoulder into it, Durgo lifts underneath the Dragon, with Bargo lifting on the other side.
The Immense bulk comes off the ground, powered by the insanely strong Ogres muscles and sheer will.

"WE ARE MURAGAR! WYRMSLAYERS! NO ELFIES CAN SURVIVE!"

The Elves, notthe hardened anmd disciplined Authian Legion, but the softer Wood Elves, break and flee, running from the sight of the dead Dragon.
Durgo feels the Dragon's weight get considerably heavier as Bargo drops his end and roars, moving to follow the fleeing Elves...

OoC:See the OoC thread as to Bargo's Rage and failed '1' save. Actions Velenne? Bargo is only 10' away at this point.

Main Battle

Midnight fang:Natural 20, 26 total
Valrack:18 Hides <Nat '20' for the roll...>
Wekerak:17
OoC:As his post above.

ROUND TWO
OoC:There are sounds of more elves to the West, a large force
<Midnight fand estimates in the hundreds>.
A group of Elves has emerged from the East, though only Valrack and the Goblins on that flank has noticed them as of yet.
1 Square =5 feet. I have circled the PCs, Valrack in a tree in the center, Kurg at the rear of varn's group, MF with the orcs on the right flank. Varn's group is the circled star.

Thanks for the map! It really helps.

Wekerak's plan remains unchanged: since it looks like we are clear at the moment, he'll lead a sharp left wheel, and sweep back to hit the northern line of elves on the western end of their position. Cavalry hitting archers on the flank should = panic, which might open an escape route :)

OoC:There's a whole 3 of you remaining...hehe@Calvary, but Carry On! :D

Yeah, but we have the strength of ten, because our cause is just. Or something :)

Durgo smiles in spite of his shivering arms and ice-caked hair. The sight of fleeing elves always made him happy...and hungry He drops the dragon at the same time as Bargo.

Upon seeing his wayward bastard going off by himself, the ogre tries to redirect Bargo's aggression on an enemy that's still fighting.

"BARGO!! KILL DEM ODER ELFIES!" He bellows, directing the half-ogre's shoulders from behind so that he faces the southern platoon of elves which are about to lay waste to idle goblins.

OOC: Delay until after Bargo, then Charge the most southwestern elves (Full PA + Charge Attack: +14 (2d6+41) (AC drops to 25), Great Cleaving all the way.

Bargo does as he's told if he can hear it, if all he hears is Elf Splitter singing still, he'll just start splitting elves.

OOC: Charge a clump of elves with the extra partial action at +24 for 4d8+21, then full attack action his friends at +22/+17 for 4d8+28.
 

OOC: Okay, I'll give you an action, and I'll try to keep it from interfereing with round 2 events.

As Captain Varn's horn rings our dully into the sky, Kurg moves forward with the mass of troops, locking his gaze on the elves facing them across the plain. He raises his flail, a howling chant rising in his throat as he gestures it viciously towards the gleaming ranks of warriors before the hobgoblins, designating them as targets for Yeenoghu's wrath. Tendrils of cloying black mist circle around the head of the flail, only to rush towards the elves as the chant reaches its howling crescendo, striking the Elves for the second time today with an Unholy Blight.

OOC: Duh, I cast Unholy Blight against the elves in front of the hobgoblins.
 

"Glade to the South...Durgo and Bargo

Bargo frothes at the Mouth, preparing to charge the fleeing Wood Elves, hoping to catch one, just one of them for a delicious treat
<Bargo hadn't had Elf since...all the way back to yesterday!>

Durgo, being marginally more intellgent regarding Orders , Grabs Bargo by the shoulders, spinning him (though Bargo nearly breaks free>,and points him back towards the Main Battle.
Snarling and Howling, Bargo runs off, Durgo a close second.
In the clearing, birds once more tenatively begin to chirp, while dark red Blood pours from an Ancient Drake, coloring the stream crimson...


Main Battle

Retro, Round One

Kurg intones Words spoken only in hushed whispers, Demonic phrases to a Mad God, hitting the ELves hard with his
Unholy Blight Screams, and the hissing of the cooking, dying Elves fills the air, the smell of their flesh mingling with that of ruptured torsos and released bowels.



<< 8 Targets, 5 dead, 3 reeling on the ground>>

Round Two, continued
Midnight Fang tumbles, coming up behind one of the Elves, his blind side and attention on one of the other Orcs provinghis Undoing. Slipping her blade beneath his Breastplate, the Half-Fiend experiences Diabolic ecstacy as she hears him whisper some Elven Trollop's name as he dies, a tear in his eye.

Wekerak and the two remaining Worg Riders wheel and attack the Elves frm behind, slamming them from behind, their cover against Varn's approaching troops useless.

Varlack finds a safe haven in the Trees, though a few arrows
*thhp * past him, missing him.
Below, the Band moves out, attempting to punch a hole through the Elvish attacks to the North-West.

Varn's Hobgoblins hit the elves, though arrows drop near 10 of them in their tracks.The Captain tears insanely into the Elves, dropping two of their number, his Aide impaling an Elf on his long Spear, the blood splattering the Company Standard.
The Shaman intones in Maglibuyet's Name,
The Hobgoblins wielding bows drop an equal number of Troopers, setting up cover fire for Varn's group.

To the left, the Orcs and Aruthian Legion trade blows, though the Legion seem to e having the better of it.

<< 4 more dead Orcs, 4 dead Elves>>

The Goblins to the East fire upon the newly arrived Elves, dropping 5 or 6, before the Elves slam into their position.
The Goblins are decimated, nearly three quarters of them slain.
<<5 dead Elves to 11 dead Goblins>>

Midnight Fang feels an intense agony and is thrown sideways as a bolt of Lightning smacks into her.
Clearing her head, she sees an Elf dressed Burgandy, a long Grey cloak billowing behind him: A Grey Walker, one of the Legion's Wizards. The Elf stands some 40 feet away, standing between two trees, though there is a path to him, should she desire to settle the score. The Elf smiles as he says quite audibly
'I See what you are, Fiend...'

From the East comes a long and loud note from a Warhorn, followed by the baying of Hounds...

To the rear, the second Goblin group fires at the Elves coming from the South. This squad fares better, as the Elves had been hit by Durgo and Bargo in their earlier charge through their ranks, and there were fewer of them.
The Goblins manage to kill some 9 or 10 Elves before being Charged themselves.

<<10 dead Elves of a group of 20, 4 dead Goblins>>


OoC:Kurg is up again...

New Map to come
