The squadron cannot be pushed, pulled or slid by melee or ranged attacks. It can squeeze through any opening large enough for a single orc.STANDARD ACTIONS(melee) Coordinated Assault (weapon) * At Will Effect: The squadron shifts 1 square.Attack: Melee 1 (each enemy in range); +24 vs. AC.Hit: 3d8+7 damage.(area) Javelin Volley (weapon) * At Will Effect: The squadron shifts 1 square.Attack: Area burst 1 within 10 (each creature in burst); +24 vs. AC.Hit: 3d6+7 damage.MINOR ACTIONS(ranged) Solitary Javelin (weapon) * At WillSpecial: This attack does not provoke opportunity attacks.Attack: Ranged 10 (one creature); +24 vs. AC.Hit: 1d6+4 damage.TRIGGERED ACTIONS(melee) Coordinated Opportunity (weapon) * At WillTrigger: An enemy provokes an opportunity attack.

They are worth full normal xp.Str 25 Dex 14 Wis 8Con 20 Int 8 Cha 8Align CE Languages Abyssal, GiantEquipment chain mail, heavy shield, battle axe, 6 javelinsORCISH BANDIT SOLDIER --- Level 19 Minion SoldierMedium natural humanoid, orc --- XP 600HP 1; a missed attack never damages a minion Initiative +11AC 35; Fort 32; Ref 31; Will 30; Perception +8Speed 5 Low-light vision STANDARD ACTIONS(mbasic) Battle Axe (weapon) * At Will Attack: Melee 1 (one creature); +24 vs. AC.Hit: 13 damage.
