Beltain asks it "All your comrades are dead and it seems that all others of your kin have left you to your fate..." "WooHooooo!!!" whoops Elinor. "That whirling manoeuvre is a master stroke.  But I might just have to step out of line one more time to get that other orc...  Limara and Beltain, do you have much healing power left?" Beltain smiles at Elinor "Thanks for the cures on Feng and yes, I do have a few scrolls of cures - I wonder if we will be left alone long enough to use them..." Feng focuses a  bleary eye on th orc looming over him "Time someone cut you down to size!" and so saying , from the ground, feng slashes at the legs of the orc standing over him, bringing it close to death.Beltain looks around and at the carnage that eight rounds of fighting have left, he shrugs then takes out a scroll and cures some more of Feng's wounds.  Then he looks to the forest looking for more of the beasts but he does not spot any more adversaries. but the trees are dense.. Elinor strikes at the orc standing over Feng. "Let's tidy things up a little" she jokes as the creature topples to the ground, its axe slipping from its dying hand.  "That chap on his own won't last long" she says looking at the last orc."Nice one Elinor, you seem to have got into the rhythm now!" smiles Beltain and Feng looks up from his prone position "Things are looking up" he says, rather obviously Limara takes up her shield and reaches out a hand to touch Sparhawk "Pit.  That was a very slick 'manoeuvre' indeed... I'd loose the sword juggling intro though " she giggles as she cures Sparhawk of most of his injuries.Limara puffs on her cigar: and, rolls it from one side of her mouth to the other, thinking.  "Elinor, if was to use my spells for nothing but healing for the rest of the day I can muster three moderate and four light cures... " "I wish I could muster that number of spells Princess" says Beltain sadly "I'm almost out of natural cures and having to rely on scrolls.  Still" he looks around "We have only one orc alive and this may be the end of this affray" "I think I may take a stroll," says Rizzit "When that last orc is down and see what goodies that magic user has on him" he pauses "I'm not sitting around here all day with nothing to do" and he gives Limara a glare Sparhawk steps up to the plate, casting a long view to the outfield makes an almighty swing of his sword....."Gotta be a home run " he mutters to himself "Well that's the last of them!  We can explore or we can wait for them to build up strength and attack us again..." says Rizzit "I'm just itching to see what that magic user has got on him!" Beltain shakes his head "If you can wait just a moment we can heal up the fighters, then the party can head out ready for any eventuality.  Have some patience – remember 'More haste less speed' as my auntie used to scold" Sparhawk downs the last orc...the battle is over.. Beltain cures more of Feng's wounds then gets down on his knees and gives thanks for the party's success... Rizzit looks around suspiciously "There may be more of them!" he says sounding hopeful rather than sure.  Beltain gets up and scans the foliage again, looking for signs of movement, but sees nothing in the dense undergrowth. Elinor wipes the blade of her sword, slowly turns, taking in the bloody and charred scene, and sighs with some satisfaction.  "Well, that was a good battle.  It would now be sensible to hold an After Action Review to establish which tactics worked and which were unhelpful. But I suspect that we won't agree easily" She reaches into her pocket, extracts a coins and spins it, it comes up tails "Tails we win" she says with a smile.Limara turns around and goes over to her wounded dog..." good girl, lets get you fixed up". She takes a scroll from her backpack and casts it on Gypsy.  " I think that is a very wise suggestion Elinor... In parts there we acted as one and were devastatingly effective, dealing damage freely and with excellent defence.." she answers "Rizzit..." she continues "If you want to go and fetch the mages stuff then go ahead, its only over there.." she points at the fallen orc " we can rescue you easy enough if anything happens. But i think to rest a moment and heal people... please show some consideration for our injured.. that was the biggest battle we have faced. I think the Order of the Initiative should be pleased with that victory.  -- Oh, and Rizz... top bombing... that was your best show to date. You should be well chuffed with the score you totalled." "We should have a formation for travelling over open ground too... anyone got any ideas... " Limara continues still dwelling on Elinors words. Rizzit turns to Limara "All this talk about strategy and you suggest I wander over to loot the magic user by myself? That sucks!" he tells her, then his face brightens "Top Bomber, I like that, think I may get a cloak made up with that on it!  Top Bomber!!!" and he moves forward detecting magic. The party look around but suddenly the portal starts to chime, could it be about to close?</blockquote>
