The Forge of Fury

[seandwulf]

Pauses for a moment, watching for Gerlari's charge.

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

[sblock=seandwulf]Not really fair, is it . . . building up your expectations with that last fight and then pulling the rug out from under you?

Actually I don't think Gerlari can charge this time, as our malicious GM has cleverly placed Lusk between the Barbarian and his foes

Never mind . . . just re-read the map. Still, I don't think I'll draw the AoOs from charging this time.[/sblock]

With a calm expression completely unlike him, Gerlari steps up into the room and engages the closest foe. His axe whips around in a whistling arc, hardly slowing as his unfortunate target is hewn neatly in two. Blood and viscera spray across the intervening space and coat the Black Robe in the guts of her minion.

[sblock=Actions]Still, I hate to disappoint , so:

Step up to (x,k), critical hit vs. the orc at (y,j) for a total of 62 damage.[/sblock]

End Round 1

Ears was ready almost immediatley to jump into the room but thought better of it, figuring he would follow Gerlari and Lusk in. So Gerlari takes the lead and quickly and quiet gruesomely kills one of the female orcs with a mighty two handed swing.

Everyone hears the black robed orc screech and then chant something in the language of magic. To everyone but Gerlari nothing seems to happen. The half-orc on the other hand shivers as if a blast of chill cold air has crawled down his back. Looking at the catser he sees a horrid sight as the witch's visage grows totally demonic with eyes of fire, hair of chains, and a tongue that looks like a red serpent looking at the warrior with glistening black eyes.

Gerlari feels like he is about to puke up every meal he has ever eaten and then his head swims as if he were just hit on it... wait a second. He looks beside him and sees another horrid orc/demon woman this one looks like a burnt shell, her skin cracking and flaking off as vomit dribbles from the corners of her mouth and pus oozes from sores about her breasts and stomach. The sights are to over-whelming and the half-orc feels compled to move away.

Lusk pushes past the half-orc not noticing Gerlari's experssion but is focused on the witch. Ears is close on his heels and both connect attacking with axe and sword. Then a crossbow bolt enters the room but due to the melee and corner Sabern misses. He drops the crossbow and perpares to join the others in the fight.

Auris moves for a better view. He doesn't know what the orc adept casted but he grins evilly as he watches her. With a few tiny sparks dancing about his finger tips he waits and if she casts again she will be in for a "shocking" surprise.

OOC: I will keep Auris' action until the black robed orc falls down.

 

[IronWolf]

Sabern watches quizzically as Gerlari dashes out of the room. With a shrug, Sabern readies his shield and hefts his mace and move into the room to the spot Gerlari vacated and brings his mace around in a smooth and steady swing sending it into the orc in front of him, hoping Lusk or Auris can take out the spellcaster. The mace crushes bone and flesh beneath it as it strikes the orc.

Combat Over

As Gerlari pushes through the doorway in a mad flight to get away from these ugly orc demons, Auris moves into the doorway and notices theblacked robed orc about to cast.

"Uh-huh." the halfling thinks with a wicked grin and let's the two tiny sparks fly towards the orc witch. They weave through the others that are fighting and hit causing the spellcaster to drop the handful of sand she had just took from a pouch.

Just after they strike Lusk leaps out at the caster and embeds his axe deep into her chest. She gurls only a moment before falling back lifeless.

Sabern watch Gerlari speed off and entered the room cautiously and struck out as soon as he saw the orc next to the doorway. He hits a telling blow across the shoulder and Ears jumps in while she is distracted to push his short blade through her gut. Ears grins over at Sabern as if to say silently "Good job." His grin turns to a look of pain as the dying orc female gets a last surge of adrenline and brings her mace down hard on the half-elf's foot as she falls to the stone floor.

"Ouch!! That's smarts!" he says hopping about.

[sblock=OOC] Combat is over and it lasted a whole two rounds. Good news is that completes lvl 1. And the stairs lead down to level 2 more fun to come but first want to see if we can get a few more hands on board. [/sblock]

Sabern grins back at Ears, "Watch your foot there! Wouldn't want you getting hurt."

Sabern sets about searching the room and bodies for anything of interest, intrigued by the spellcasting orcs.

Take 20 on searching the room for a 24 Perception check.

Gerlari eventually slinks sheepishly back into the room, trying to slip in without being noticed . . .

 

[HolyMan]

"Ha very funny... hey where did you run of to?" Ears asks Gerlari as he limps over to the half-orc.
