Storms of Change, Part 2

Manzanita

Manzanita will try to move up, holding her lantern high to reveal the room as much as possible (unless there's another light source in the room.) She holds her long sword in her other hand, as her bow is not useful when she's holding the lantern.

Adromon drew his glaive before the door was opened.

Angered by Dunathar's actions, Adromon shoots the dwarf a harsh look. There is no justice in attacking unarmed soldiers, no matter their cause. Hoping they can understand him, Adromon addresses the half-orcs firmly (though not loudly).
"We already have you beaten. Surrender now and we'll let you live."
 


Bert

Filbert isn't sure what to do at first but he nods at Adromon's words. He hopes the ennemy will surrender but he's ready to throw a dagger at one of them should they make threatening gestures.
 

Devan seeks a good position for him and his bow and fires.

ooc: not sure what the room looks like so where ever I can get clean shots off that would be good.
 

-- Surprise Round --

Filbert raises his dagger, ready to throw it if he sees any threatening gestures...

Devan steps forward and fires his bow, aiming at one of the standing half-orcs. His arrow sinks into the half-orc’s torso.

Adromon addresses the half-orcs firmly (though not loudly). "We already have you beaten. Surrender now and we'll let you live." The half-orcs look at each other, then back at Adromon, a look of fierce determination in their eyes.

Manzanita holds her lantern high, spreading light further into the shadowy room. She holds her long sword in her other hand.

Zanock charges into the room, slicing the wounded half-orc across the chest. Blood spurts out as he falls.

Dunathar moves into the room, swinging his morningstar two-handed at the remaining standing orc. It’s a great hit, and the half-orc’s eyes open wide, her life seeming to leave her fierce eyes, as she falls.

Rowyn stands ready…

-- Round 1 --

The half-orc lying down on his bunk jumps up and seems to shake himself awake, quickly surveying the situation. Seeing the intruders, he grabs his axe.

Filbert (readied action) throws his dagger, hitting solidly [critical hit, 5 damage]. The half-orc is staggered, but standing.

Just one half-orc is still standing, wounded by Filbert's dagger.

Its hard to say with any degree of certainty in the midst of combat, but it looks like Devan, Zanock and Dunathar slew the first two half-orcs outright, and not just knocked them unconscious. The last half-orc, the one who had just woken, is only barely on his feet, gripping his axe with both hands. The dagger thrown by Filbert is projecting from his chest, just under the collarbone. His tunic is staining red with blood.

Filbert draws another dagger but the others will probably deal with the remaining half-orc before he can react.
