The Sceptre of Kings-A Heroic Dwarven Quest

[Uriel]

OoC: Have no fear, I just wanted to make sure that you had all hashed out your Plan prior to implementing it...Game post in a few hours.

 

[Uriel]

OoC: OK, it's Stori and the Orc blasting whoever is in the next big room, with Alembregh,Kelen and Duranom guarding the Northern doors while the others deal with any Orcs surviving the fireball and Concussive Blast, I take it? a solid Plan...

IC: Mohgrym Manifests Clairvoyance, sending his vision beyond the door and into the next big room. Moving along a long Hallway, and down a flight of steps as well as another Door, Mohgyrm's perceptions enter the Chamber <marked Orcs>. Some dozen Orcs stand around, half that number relaxing and sharpening weapons, a few playing at Knucklebones... Six of the orcs watch the Western Tunnel, massive composite bows in hand.

Mohgrym lets the others know what he has seen, "There is no one in this long hall, but in the large chamber on our map there are a dozen orcs standing around, half that number relaxing, six are watching the western tunnel. I have no idea if there are any traps on the two doors between us. Either way I think our plan is a solid one and I am ready to go."

 

[Knight Otu]

"Watching the western tunnel? I guessss we should be prepared for the posssibility that it holdss an unpleasant surprisse for uss."

 

[Wilphe]

"If they are watching it that closely, then we probably need not worry so much about them running to get help that way. We should probably concentrate more on the northern doors," Elspeth pronounces.

 

[Erekose13]

"Hmm... I dont think any of us is any good at locating traps are we. Too bad Trapmaster Turlogh isnt with us on this one. Prehaps next time we should see if one of those grey fellows would accompany us, maybe some of them have some skill at these things. In the mean time I have the ability to open the door with my mind. I am not sure that we need to use it on every door, but it might be prudent. What do you think?"

 

[Jarval]

"If we have any among us who might open the doors through more mundane means, then I think we should utilise their talents." Storí comments.

"I too am a little concerned by their attention on the western approach, but I will retain most of my higher valencies unless the battle proves far more challenging than we expect. We should still be able to muster a significant magical barrage should some fell beast spring on us."

 

[Thels]

"If Mohgrym's methods can keep others from harm, then let's use it. Does anyone have any objections to the plan?" Alembregh holds silent for a few secs, allowing others to interrupt.

If no one interrupts: "No? Then let's go!" Alembregh moves down the western corridor.

Mohgrym Xothaerin, Shield Dwarf Psion

With the go ahead from his lord, Mohgrym will take his position flying above and a little behind the advance blasters. He closes his eyes for a moment and when he opens them a small blue light lances out from his forehead contacting with the locking mechanism of the door. Concentrating on the lock Mohgrym manipulates it with his mind opening the door to the hallway beyond.

Once it is finished he wispers, "Mi lord the door is open and our way to the corridor should be clear. Once we are prepared for the assault in the corridor I will open the farthest door as well."

Provided that there is nothing in the corridor, once everyone is setup for the big battle he will concentrate again on the door to the central chamber.

[ooc: manifest knock. then manifest it again on the other door later.]

[ooc: manifest knock. then manifest it again on the other door later.]

Mohgrym manifests Knock, opening the door easily. the Companions rush forward, the Orc and Mohgrym ready to deal out their destruction. Knocking the second door, the group opens onto a scene described as Mohgrym saw it, there are some dozen orcs, half of which watch the far passage.
The Dominated Orc's Fireball rips into the farthest group, dropping all but one dead where they stand. The final one looks very burned, though he still stands, a crisp and blackened servant of Evil.
<32 HP damage,16 to the last one>

The other Orcs, however seem ready <not suprised anyways>, or more ready than the ones now lying barbequed on the flagstones.

Pre-Combat, Orc cast readied Fireball, Mohgrym Knocked the door.
