Storms of Change IC Part 4

[Someone]

"These things used to heal more" thinks Dunathar, just before the orc steps ahead and brings down the sharp axe. Dunathar falls to the ground, clutching a wound in his chest and thorn between thanking to whatever god made the axe´s blade hit one of the studs and saved his life, and cursing them for being on the floor, too weak to even speak.

OOC: I'll stick with the unarmed flurry. *doghead crosses his fingers*

 

[Manzanita]

Manzanita

Buyoed by her success, Manzanita will continue her attack with the staff. (Does it seem like a better than normal weapon?)

-- Round 2 (cont) --

Lucan, though injured badly, presses his attack. He lands a blow, further staggering the second orc.

Zook grips his holy symbol with one hand, and brings the other down like the claw of a beast. "Look and see me, small as I can be, yet now you quiver in a trice, fear me and run like mice!" Zook intones in a strange high voice, the air around him shuddering. The orc glances briefly at the gnome, but stands his ground.

Manzanita drops her bow, and grabbing the staff, steps over Dunathar's body. With a perfectly placed swing, she cracks the staff across the orc's head, dropping him.

Goven, healed somewhat, steps back in and attacks his hated enemy. With a mighty blow from his axe, he drops the second orc.

Manzanita feels the staff is a good weapon, though she's unsure for now how good.

 

[Sado]

Goven

"Zook, see to Dunathar if you can," Goven says. To the others, "Before, they spoke as if there were others about. We must be on our guard, now more than ever. Our fighting may have given warning to other enemies nearby."

He considers for a moment. "We should search them and see if they are carrying anything that would tell us more of their plans and motives."

After taking a moment to spit on the nearest orc and give it a good kick, he moves down the passage about ten meters to see if there is any sign of more orcs.

"Zook, see to Dunathar if you can," Goven says. To the others, "Before, they spoke as if there were others about. We must be on our guard, now more than ever. Our fighting may have given warning to other enemies nearby."

*Zook is obviously annoyed by the failure of his incantation, but quickly turns to look at Dunathar.*

"Right! Going now," he says quickly, and skips across to the dwarf. Clutching his holy symbol with one hand, and placing the other on Dunathar's wounds, he murmurs words in the gnomish tongue. A spill of gold traces from his hand, and seems to knit the wound together.

OOC - Dropping command for cure light wounds (1d8+2).

 

[Manzanita]

Manzanita

OOC: Did my frail wizard just kill two orcs by whacking them on the head? You go girl!

BIC: Manzanita nods at Goven's comment, and drops to her knees to search the orcs. (search +6).

"There are definitely more enemies about. They already know we are here, so a swift attack is probably useless. Let's take care. Is anyone in need of more healing?"

 

[silentspace]

Zook closes Dunathar's wounds with divine healing, and the dwarf recovers, standing.

Manzanita searches the bodies. She finds a total of 20 pp, 25 gp, and 45 sp. Their axes, composite bows, and studded leather armor seem to be very well made. Each has a quiver with 14 arrows. Manzanita also finds several small vials well-hidden in the orcs' boots , 3 vials on each orc. The dead orcs smell of alcohol, and their chins are covered with some sort of smeared food.

Goven, borrowing a light, goes back down the corridor to the corner and peeks around. Down the corridor, at the next turn, he sees a small face hiding in the shadows, peeking around the corner at him.

Startled, the face disappears around the corner for just a moment. Then it reappears, apparently sheepish that it was spotted, and not hiding anymore. The small humanoid says "Salutations, sir! So, I guess you are not friends of Anosh and Shoduk? I am Pard. Why are you here?"

It is a very small humanoid, even smaller than Zook, with dark brown skin, with a hint of green in it.

Zook heals 7+2. Dunathar is at 8 hp.

 

[Manzanita]

Manzanita

Manzanita tests the new bows. If she is able to bend them properly, she will leave her old bow and take a new one.

OOC: That would be if they are not mighty bows.

She then inspects the vials. "Probably healing" she mutters. She then hands out a vial to everyone, keeping two for herself. If she's shot any arrows on this trip (I can't remember), she'll replace her lost ones with the new ones.

Hearing the Ranger's conversation, she heads down the hall after him. "Pard. Greetings. Are there more of you? Were you friends with these orcs?"

 

[silentspace]

Manzanita finds she is unable to pull the bows.

When Manzanita addresses the small humanoid, he replies "Salutations ma'am. Yes, of course there are more of us here. You mean friends of Anosh and Shoduk? Umm......" He looks at Manzanita inquiringly, fidgeting a bit. "....... Ummmm......... What happened to them? We heard a lot of noise."
