The Forges of the Mountain King Chapter 1- Bottom's Up!

[Goonalan]

Crap!
Krogan will try to mimic the movements and gesticulation of those crazed dwarves and get back into the secret stairs. Hopefully the orcs are aware of the dwarves and will ignore me....I will try to look as if I am not interested that they are there...

The Orcs stare hard- squinting to see...

GM: I'll give you a +3 on your roll for being suitably dressed and crazy, so 13 to beat- one roll.

The first Orc screams, although Krogan can only hear the sound of the waterfall, regardless the beast sets off at speed- coming straight at Krogan, its playmates not far behind.

GM: I'm going to presume that Kathra, Mardred and Cinara move closer each round just to save some time- that's double move run closer each turn- the nearest of these three is 43 squares away from the top of the stairs. I'm only going to start their movements from when they get to know that the Orcs are coming- which isn't yet. Remember outside is the roaring sound of the waterfall as well. If you want to do something different in your turn then say ahead of time- I'll include you on the map when you get close to the action.

GM: Now for Grim, Krogan and Kazz, somethings to consider- the Orcs don't know about the secret stairs, if they survive and/or escape and tell their friends then you are no longer safe in there- they'll certainly be coming back for more, and with friends.

Grim tries his best to crouch low and sneak forward, alas he's easily spotted- he's fooling no-one. The strange Dwarf readies himself for Orcs arrival.

Orc#1

The saveage Orc barrels forward at an incredible rate, covering the distance to Grim in a flash- the creature grabs out it's greataxe en route, and is all business. It charges... at the last Grim shimmies and steps slightly to the side.

The Orc's greataxe bites deep in to the stone- that's quite some force...

[Goonalan]

Orcs #2 & #3.

The second and third Orc follow, moving swiftly to back up their fellow- snarling furiously the second Orc drops its greataxe at its feet and draws a hand axe- eyes Grim up for his throw... next time.

All of the Orcs are clad in ill-kept leather armour- they are a little cumbersome in their gait and posture, they look unevolved.

[Ressurectah]

Krogan

" Kazz what should we do?"
Krogan looks at Kazz and then to Grim. Hoping that one of them will have something smart to say. If not, Krogan is more than happy to charge in...

OOC: I will lower my initiative to go after Grim. I suggest to Grim to step back so I can come in his place, or to wait for Kazz. We can fight them on the ledge, or we could lure them in the secret passage and fight one by one ( I am better with the chance of fighting in the open, but let the others decide)
