Anga can hear common spoken in the guttural accent of an Orc, but cannot make out the words. She will see that two Half-Orcs have a human cornered in the alleyway. They do not notice Anga.
Round One
|
Come on Mordea let head around the back. When we are in position I well summon us some light and we will cut off there escape.
Kaos will move
Kaos will move again. Then in hopes that the rest of the party has started there attack he will summon light on to his axe.
If the rest of the party has not started the attack he will wait on casting and move closer to the Half-Orcs.
Haskyll just lumbers after the others
Haskyll moves up and throws an acid dart at the male orc
Mordea will follow Kaos staying right behind the big human. "I cannot see. Good thing Orcs smell like Otyugh droppings."
Anga steps out.
Boo!
on the closest orc
Ragnir follows Anga's lead and lays into the same half orc with his axe. "I don' be thinkin' the human wants yer attentions!
The male Half-Orc seeing more combatants, drinks down a potion.
Moving forward Ulfgard uses his weapons to show that the invaders are not welcome. Feeling his fury his mouth gets some froth and his eyes unfocus.
Surprise Round and Round One recap
Anga sneaks up on the female Half-Orc, and with a Boo, hits her with a Magic Missile.
Kaos with Mordea in tow moves around to the backside of the building.
Ragnir attacks the female Half-Orc, but his axe glanced off one of the studs of this Half-Orc's masterwork studded leather armor.
The male Half-Orc drinks a potion, then moves out from the alley.
As no one has yet to engage the male Half-Orc, only a little traffic was between Haskyll and his foe. He hits the male with an Acid Dart.
Ulfgard advances on the female Half-Orc. The Half-Orc dodges the swipe from his Waraxe but is struck by a bash from his shield. Ulfgard's new friend engages with growls and bites, but the female Half-Orc was just too nimble for the dog to secure a bite.
The female Half-Orc steps back
With a fine masterwork Warhammer, the female counter attacks Ulfgard. The blow deflected by Ulfgard's shield.
The victim steps back away from the fray.
The fire areas on the map are raging in the trees above. Thick plumes of pea green smoke billow into the air here, where three hardy trees that flank the road have been set ablaze with green alchemical fire. The air reeks of sulfur and ashes.
Round Two
Looking at the feeble strike from the Half-orc Ulfgard smiles.
"That´s the best you can do, pignose? Eat Steel!"
With a growl the Beisser attacks again.
We will want to try to take the woman alive. She was the forge assistant
With that, he sends another acid dart at the male half orc.
anga notes the female half orc, and haskyll's comment

Ragnir contemplates putting out the fires in the trees.
Mordea moves behind Kaos and finds a place in the shadows.
The male Half-Orc grows really big.
An Orc appears from another building.
He takes a swing at Kaos with a nice, now over-sized, Greataxe and barely manages to strike the now puny human.
Haskyll notices the tattoo on the forehead on the female Half-Orc. It matches the description of a tat communicated to the party by the weaponsmith, Sara Morninghawk, as one worn by her former forge assistant.
The Dwarf Cleric fires an Acid Dart at the male Half-Orc. It misses.
Where Ulfgard hit with his Shield before, he lands with his Waraxe now. The blow appears to stagger the female Half-Orc.
Beisser bites at the female Half-Orc, but misses.
The female Half-Orc lets out a wicked scream and attacks the Dwarf Ranger with her Warhammer. The attack was feeble though and the female collapses to the ground.
Round Three
Ragnir growls at the oversized orc. "Being big don' mean nothin', yer just a bigger target, and more ugly."
Anga starts casting
A blast of flame leaps out of her hands towards the towering orc.
touch attack
Round Three Start
Anga hits the towering Half-Orc with a ray of Scorching Fire.
The Half-Orc bends over from the pain, only to have Kaos remove his head from his body. The head goes flying and lands on a tree branch with a puff of Alchemical sparks. The body slowly falls to the ground and returns to its normal size.
The remaining Orcs in the building up the way, see this. They turn and run, fleeing out of sight.
The female Half-Orc stabilizes and remains unconscious.
Victory!
Another Orc, this one controlling a pack of dogs can barely be distinguished amongst the smoke and Alchemical cinders.
In the lull, Haskyll moves up and taps Kaos on the shoulder.
The flames are above, but the area below is filled with smoke. You noticed this Orc Beast-Tamer as it moved into the zone of smoke.
When Kaos steps into the smoke, he finds breathing difficult. The smoke's alchemical properties irritate his mouth, eyes and nostrils.
Round One
As Kaos moves toward the Beast-Tamer, the Orc releases her dogs. She then takes a javelin and launches toward the big Human, just missing a critical location.
Dog 1 and 3 ignores their masters commands and runs out of the smoke filled zone. The second one, pushes on, and tries to bite Kaos but misses.
The Beast-Tamer seems unaffected by the noxious fumes.
Mordea steps into the zone and pushes on to her target.
Haskyll moves to where he can shoot at the orc.
How many more of this pigsons?
Moving as fast as he can around the fire Ulfgard prepares to get ready to charge the flanks of his enemy.
"One more, one more.... let us kick him into the fire!"
Ragnir follows Kaos into the smoke, taking a swing at either the dog or the tamer, whichever is left alive after Kaos' attack (which should still have the acid blade effect, I think?).
Round One
Seeing the big Human approach, the Beast-Tamer releases her beast, then launches a Javelin, strike Kaos. Two of the dogs runs out from the cloaking fumes, but another engages the big human.
Mordea moves toward this Beast-Tamer Orc.
Haskyll moving around the edges, wings the Orc with a crossbow bolt.
Without needing to take a step into the noxious fumes, the Dwarf Wizard sends a Force Missile at the Beast-Tamer.
Kaos barely manages to strike the attacking dog, but the barely was in the throat. The dog dies. Kaos then engages the Beast-Tamer.
Ulfgard moves around the edges.
Ragnir also engages the Beast-Tamer.
Round Two
The Beast-Tamer curses at her wayward dogs, then pulling out a wicked Orc double-axe attacks the big human.
The first dog braves the noxious fumes, only to be nauseated by the fumes.
The third dog braves the fumes as well. Resisting the effects, the dog attacks Mordea. But the dog misses its bite within the smoke and fumes.
Mordea resists the zone of fumes, but her attack against the biting dog was ineffective.
Haskyll slings his crossbow as he moves up, and he draws his warhammer.
Anga looses another force missile at the animal trainer
Seeing the way is clear Ulfgard charges the animal handler.
Round Two Recap
As Kaos approaches, the Beast-Tamer grasp a wicked Orc double-axe. And in a quick figure eight motion, cuts into the big human.
As one of the Beast-Tamer's dog chokes on the noxious fumes, the other tries to bite Mordea.
Mordea pushing on in the Alchemical mix, but fails to land a strike on the attacking dog.
Haskyll advances with his Warhammer.
Kaos returns the favor managing to slice the Beast-Tamer with his over-sized axe.
Anga's second Force Missile does the trick. The Beast-Tamer begins to fall from her injuries.
Ulfgard charges into the noxious gasses, thinking this is no worse than some of the cigars he has smoked. As the Beast-Tamer falls, the Dwarf Ranger adds a wicked blow, killing the Orc.
Seeing the Beast-Tamer fall, Ragnir holds his breath and moves against the dog attacking Mordea. Unphased by the foul air, the Warpriest stops the dog's bite. The canine drops.
The last dog, seeing it's master and other pack members fall, runs away.
Victory!
The party can hear nearby the portcullis closing.
Seeing the last of the threats go down, Haskyll moves towards the houses that the orcs were initially in.
Quick, lets check for townfolk survivors in these.
Kaos, I will heal you in a couple of seconds when we are out of these fumes.
Kaos will find on the Beast-Tamer two potions, that are quickly identified as potions cure light wounds. There are two vials of acid and caltrops. She was wearing leather armor, had two more javelins, an orc double axe with a scabbard, 36 gp.
The party will look in the buildings where they previously saw Orcs and find them abandoned with thankfully no victims. The female Half-Orc is unconscious and stable. The male Half-Orc is missing his head.
Well, let us get this one back to the aid station. She can answer to the town for her actions.
You find Aleril cowering in the shadows, overwhelmed by all that has transpired.
