Kezt was silent, Kezt wants that bull he thought to himself. Kezt walks up to the beast and attempts to use wild empathy on it, holding his hand out, pointing to it and chanting quietly in goblin.
And completely fails.
Ordrud doesn't move as the beast has a wild eye and is right beside him trying to get to his feet. Ketz moves forward to calm it but completely fails.
The creature finishes getting up and tries to gore the approaching goblin providing opportunities to strike for Ordrud and Morgrohl.
Morgrohl swings oddly with the falchion and the weapon strikes the beast but with no merit. It did not even hesitate to move toward the goblin.
The orc rider sees the goblin, Ketz, come forward and tries to distract the animal instead yelling and waving his two handed sword.
"LORK YA YA LORK!
The orc's action did nothing.
Luckily the heavily armored and quick goblin is able to dodge the strike.
As above it appears he is trying to keep the beast from killing but failed to control it much as he has failed to ride it.
You can see he is trying to use wild empathy but failing as the beast is hostile.
Segovax climbs to his feet and grabs for his weapon.
As you can see her she is partially untied and moving very slowly
The girl again seen and this time verbally scolded stopped once more dropping to the ground.
@Nusku, you are mistaken. It's your turn.
Ordrud doesn't take his swipe and tries to become as small as possible.
"Tame your beast or we will eat its steak," Mog says. Why, just the thought of someone telling him to do made him angry. Hell, now he is angry.
Mog's muscles surge and and he tries to hit the animal's legs with the flat of his blade.
On his turn, Manny will spit his Adhesive Spit.
The young cavalier now angry with the lot of the group and his inability to tame the beast yells,
" Leave me and my beast, NOW. He is my Gorthek!"
Mogrohl strikes at him again with the flat of the falchion again missing. Manny spits at the beast to hold him steady.
The beast tries to rampage North back toward Ketz but fails as he is stuck to the ground by Manny's sticky saliva; unable to break free at this time.
The half elf gives up any chance at escape ropes strongly around her ankles and unable to loosen them as well.
Beast stuck on ground! Get it under control!
Nusku picks up his falchion and moves.
The orc cavalier ignores Segovax and tries to calm his beast once more.
The beast stuck in the spit continues to fight to get loose but remains stuck.
Hearing Segovax, Mog is emboldened. He might make a strong leader afterall.
Mogrohl stops being timid and slashes at the beast's back with the edge of his blade.
Mogrohl's cut is deep but does not kill the animal. The Cavalier's reaction is horror and anger.
"YOU STRIKE HIM! YOU ALL DIE FOR TWISTED NAIL"
**********True Initiative starts*************
Party Average = 78/6 = 13
Enemy Average = 44/3 = 14.67
The orc strikes at the nearest party member with his two handed sword, unfortunately it meets Ketz across the chest sending him straight to the dirt bleeding to death.
The Gorthek does the same at any one within 5 feet but is restricted without his charge and misses all.
Party up
Ketz ***down ***

"" Mogrohl roars. He takes a short step towards the orc and slashes down at him with his falchion, muscles surging.
Bird caws in anger at his master's fall and swoops down on the orc and pecks wildly.
Well shiznit! Manny thinks and runs behind the insane orc, firing a blowgun needle at the spot on his neck where the artery is.
Nusku growls as the goblin is downed. "The Fire Lord still has a use for you." He moves to the small one and tries to stop him from dying.
Party up
Ordrud
Ordrud moves in behind the Cavalier as the beast is knocked unconscious by Segovax. Hit
Ordrud swings from behind with his Bardiche as Ketz's Roc pecks at the orcs exposed flesh. Ordrud Miss
Ketz is kept from bleeding to death as he is taken care of by the Fire lord and/or actions of Nusku. Stabilized
Manny's blowgun shot misses its mark bouncing off the chain shirt of the Cavalier instead. Miss
Mogrohl's impressive attack with the Falchion although brought with much power misses as the cavalier steps back. Miss
The cavalier's step back away from the group is just in time to avoid the falchion which cuts deep into the group where he once stood. The cavalier closes on Ordrud attacking with the two handed sword connecting again. Ordrud falls. Hit
Party up
Ketz ***down *** stabilized
Roc
Manny
Mogrohl
Nusku
Ordrud *** down ***
Segovax
Gorehoof
Cavalier slightly wounded
Bird is now a flurry of feathers and talons, pecking and slashing wildly at the cavalier.
In only a moment, the anger subsides in Mogrohl and he seems to shrink in size. Mog gasps for air and his attacks, while still deadly, come a bit slower.
"Stay still so I can end you," he says. Mog tries to bring the blade down on the orc cavalier's neck.
Manny shifts and fires another dart.
The orc's greatsword guts Ordrud like a fish disabling him . Ordrud limps away from the orc letting his new tribe finish him.
"Surrender whelp or we will burn your flesh for the Fire Lord."
Ketz's bird upset that his master still lies down from the likes of this orc takes bits of flesh from his arms with several strikes but the Cavalier stands.
Swings by Mogrohl and darts shot by Manny miss.
Finally the man is dropped by Segovax the chopper. His mighty swing cuts deep through the chain shirt and kills him instantly.
The beast knocked unconscious earlier lies flat in the spittle stuck tight.
Lastly the group has seriously wounded members.
Ordrud and Ketz took the brunt of the damage for the party and still remain injured with ketz unconscious and Ordrud disabled.
Battle over and darkness now covers the camp as the sun faded deep beyond the horizon.
The cavalier had little own him other than his 2 handed sword, chain shirt, belt, and an empty sack.
The beast has no saddlebags nor gear of any note.
Manny grabs his healer's kit and attempts to bring Ketz and Ordud around
Kezt is barely concious and looks around, wondering what just happened. He then looks at his bird, its talons bloodied as it sits next to him and he smiles knowingly. Kezt then looks at Seg and says Kezt is good with animals, Kezt will help train that bull.
After everyone wakes up, Manny rechecks everyone's wounds and yawns. Ugh..long night. Tonight I can make healing brews for us. Where we be going?
The next morning, Ordrud awakes in pain. "Ouch. I've felt better. Yes, we need lots of healing brews, Manny. We're going to continue along the road toward Urgir. Let's get that oathbreaker's gear off him and destroy the body. Don't want his clan on our trail."
Manny will start brewing whenever the group stop for lunch/foraging. ABout every 2 hours he can brew a potion of CLW
Nusku will give the Hob and the Gob some cleansing flame as the group travels.
After a long day of fighting and watching several of the newly built tribe members almost get killed it is nice to awaken to a bright quiet day.
The orc cavalier disposed of but his temperamental ride the gorthek as he called it is still with them. The bull like creature is tied up and quiet thus far but he is sure to be hungry.
All the group's members are healthy enough to get up and about on their own but far from healed. They also have the issue of maintaining the half elf who thus far as been nothing more than fun for Segovax.
A new day is here and Urgir is ahead.
Ordrud does not scream as fire painfully knits the huge, festering gash that the greatsword put into his chest. Through gritted teeth, he slowly says, "Thank your healing fire, Nusku."
