[QUOTE="megamania, post: 7410638, member: 9255"] THE HIDDEN: BEYOND NEW WATER 12 NEW TEAM ENTERS THE HIDDEN SEGMENT 203 ”GREY DUSK ORC AMBUSH” 04/29/18 RHAAN 2, 1000 The group has buried the dead dragon and are beginning to ration their food rations. Xena has proven that water is not an issue but food is. They have seen nothing edible in New Water since they entered it days ago. Payback will not admit it, but he is lost. The stars are not from Siberys. Even the sun seems…. Different. The moons are clearly wrong. From twelve there are maybe 2-4. This has gone from strange to horribly wrong. They advance through an area with very vibrant green vegetation and moving New Water to the Obsidian Wall. The orc ranger follows the current and finds a wide opening in the wall…. Complete with a very high waterfall. As they debate what to do, they discover they have been carefully followed…. By the Grey Dusk Orcs! About two dozen of them! Pinned in by the advancing orcs and the waterfall that is walled in by sharp glass, they have no choice- they need to defend themselves. Xena panics and begins to cast a spell while taking cover behind Dan. Her confusion spell strikes nearly everyone- party and orcs alike. Payback takes several hard hits while everyone else has avoided the first rally. Payne has seemly committed suicide as he runs off the waterfall much to the delight of the orcish leader. Suddenly, he and nearly everyone there are striking at everyone else. It is a full melee. Payback…. Startled and angry at his passenger raises his double axe so that the handle strikes the goblin across the bridge of his nose. Angry at the assault, and also under the spell effect, he stabs twice downward blindly. First he strikes the eye patch (nat 1) then he stabs deep (nat 20 and near max dam) into the remaining eye. Between the blows from the other orcs and this….. Payback goes down with a bloody splash. Xena and Dan (both out of range of the spell) are amazed as three orcs swing at the same time and behead each other (rolled once for the three nat 20, confirmed with a nat 20- house rules- auto kill). A few orcs that were out of range throw javelins at the now flying Warlock. They miss but does he as he is taken back by the three orcs killing each other. No one saw what happened to ranger. As orcs drop, the survivors leap to the next closest surviving orcs and the goblin. Riding the floating body towards the waterfalls, the goblin kills orcs as he can. The Keeper would expect no less. Shortly there are no orcs left (not even Payback whom has floated over the falls). Finding a path near the waterfalls they step onto dry land. The goblin had difficulty doing this as the water was chest high and with a strong current. Dan, his new ride, helps him. “Did anyone see which orc killed him?” asks the Cleric of The Fury. Her emotions are building and screaming for release and vengeance. Wisely the goblin allows them to think it was an orc. [/QUOTE]
