Storms of Change IC Part 4

[Someone]

"Oh, well. Let´s play heroes, then" says Dunathar at the time he aims with the crossbow, ready to kill the first thing that comes withing sight.

 

[doghead]

Lucan, human male.

Lucan grins at Govan.

"Sure, just don't stick my with any of your slings and arrows."

He steps back against the eastern wall. He slips a shuriken into his hand, but will hold off using it until the others have had a chance to let loose.

 

[silentspace]

Once everyone has their weapons ready, Goven calls out, in slightly slurred Orcish, "What's this? Gold and wine! Come and look!"

You hear some sort of crashing, as of wood and metal and stone banging on each other. Then more voices speaking Orcish:

Spoiler

First voice, loudly: "Oi! Nevermind, bring it here!"

Second voice, softly: "Huh? Hey Anosh, did you hear voices just now?"

First voice, loudly: "Yeah, they have more gold and wine!"

Second voice, softly: "Yeah! I mean no! Did you hear other voices?"

First voice, loudly: "Hey, you're right, everybody's disappeared!"

Second voice, loudly: "Yeah, that's what I said!"

Second voice again, softly: "But Anosh, did you hear other voices?"

First voice, softly: "Yeah I did. Maybe. I don't know. Hey Shoduk, they have more gold and wine, did you hear?"

Second voice, softly: "Everyone's run away. Where's my axe?"

First voice, loudly: "Hey, I said bring it here!"

Second voice, softly: "Shhh! I think someone else is there. Get your axe."

Then you hear some more fumbling.

 

[Manzanita]

Manzanita

"Dunstand, keep an eye on the corridor. If they advance, tell us. They will see our light, but what can we do. I say we wait it out a little. I think they will come."

 

[Someone]

"Who´s Dunstad?" says Dunathar. "Do elves have imaginary friends now, or what?"

"Well, if Dunstad don´t say anything, pay attention to my crossbow. If I fire, is that I can see someone"

 

[doghead]

Lucan, human male pit fighter

Lucan snorts quietly at Dunathar little display. But he's more concerned at the length of time that the orcs are taking to get around the corner - as if they were thinking about it.

 

[Sado]

Goven

"Come and give me some help with it, Anosh," Goven calls in orcish, tightening his grip on his axe. "I can't get to it. There's something in the way."

 

[silentspace]

After some more fumbling, footsteps heading this way are heard.

Moments later 2 orcs round the corner.

-- Round 1 --

Dunathar lets loose a crossbow bolt, hitting the first orc.

Before the others can release their missile weapons, the two orcs raise their axes, and swearing in Orcish, charge the front rank. Both Dunathar and Goven are hit.

Initiative
Dunathar: 9 damage
Orc 1: 4 damage
Orc 2
-- action paused --

Dunathar does 4 damage, including sneak attack damage.
Orc 1 hits Dunathar with a charging power attack for 9 damage.
Orc 2 hits Goven with a charging power attack for 12 damage.

 

[Manzanita]

Manzanita

OOC: Oops. Dunstand is the rogue in the Lamintation of Loth thread. My internet access will probably be intermittent the next week or so, so NPC Manzanita as needed.

Manzanita will attempt to get one shot off at Dunathor's opponent, aiming over the Dwarf's head. (+0 1d8 +0 including shooting into combat). After that, she'll drop her bow, grab the staff and attempt to aid others in combat.

 

[doghead]

Lucan, human male pit fighter

ooc: A 10' wide corridor I suppose. So it looks something like this?

Lucan drops the shuriken, pulls a potion of Mage Armour and downs it.

"Govan, Dunathar, if you want out, I'll cover you," he says when he's done. He readies himself to step into the gap if either of the two at the front step back, or somehow manage to create space.
