Siann watches the dwarfs, especiall Grommund, grumble and gripe , a smile stealing across her face. Nothing like a surly soldier to lighten her spirits.
Holding out her hand, she says "I'll see what I can do with your net."
Athelwyn remains motionless as the nets are passed around. Looking to Kuiper, she asks, "Maybe we can catch him when he's sleeping? Might be more frightening for him that way, but we'd probably stand a better chance of subduing him without any real bloodshed."
Current Map: None
Oleanne accompanies the party for the rest of the day, leading them to where she last saw the werebear. She seems to pass through the underbrush and trees with much ease and quickly seems to outpace the party with her wolves, she constantly has to stop her advance and wait for everyone else to catch up to her. Clearly annoyed at the groups lack of woodcraft.
As the daylight is fading, the group reaches the spot where Oleanne last spotted the werebear, near the springs where the brook begins. Kuiper finds the werebear's tracks easy enough, but it is too dark to follow them without lanterns or torches, and such artificial light would be guaranteed to drive the werebear away (besides giving it advanced warning of the party's approach.)
Kuiper therefore suggests making camp.
We make camp here! Pick up the trail at first light." he says to everyone.
"Oleanne and her pets will sleep some distance away from the rest. I will take up a spot here with the rest of you." he says while addressing the group as a whole.
Looking to Siann "We need to set a watch. Two hour rotations. Two people to each watch. Five watches total. I will take first along with whomever wishes to accompany me."
"I'll be joinin' ya fer the first one, Kuiper."
Siann begins to efficiently assist in making camp, "Grommund and I will take the next." she says, an eyebrow raised in question to the dwarf.
"Agreed," Grommund says. He sets about making camp and takes watch when its his turn.
"Count me in for the last, I suppose. Need plenty of time to study my grimoire if I'm to be effective, after all." Athelwyn adds.
|
"Um... does Oleanne need someone to keep her awake for a watch? I suppose I could try and suffer through a couple hours of her company." Fronar sighs and tries to show a poker face, but his reverse psychology is as transparent as a glass of water.
"What did I tell you earlier! Keep your infatuation in check. Do not let emotion govern your actions." Fronar's expression drops and he displays a pouty bottom lip, "Uncle says he will vigilantly stand watch, whenever is needed." He pipes up a little after his suggestion, "Beside that, I also will cover whatever other times are are unfilled. Seems easier to set an alarm of some sort."
Once again Fronar dives into his pack. Coming up with a length of rope draped across his face and both ends still contained in the pack. He clanks a couple pots together, held in each hand. "Anyone else got some metal items? We can tie 'em all together in a circle around the outside of us and they will surely wake us if anything might come close to our camp!"
Current Map: Campsite Battlemap
Shortly before dawn as the last watch is almost done Athelwyn and Fronar who happened to be awake heard one of Oleanne's wolves begin growling at something. Oleanne immediately awakes and begins looking around. Waking the camp quietly and quickly. She says some words in an unknown language to Kuiper who in turn addresses the group quickly "Bloodskull orcs are approaching, a lot of them. Prepare yourself!"
While the group could not see the orcs as of yet they could now hear them approaching from all directions. It sounded of at least a dozen or more closing in from all sides. Their grunts and primal language echoing through he treeline.

You have round one to get ready, orcs are not within sight yet they will show up sometime in round number two.

Hearing the threat approaching from all sides, Athelwyn hopes to deceive the advancing host with a simple glamour. She crouches low and traces strange patterns in the air with her right hand. Her left index finger traces a circular pattern along the ground all around her. Finally, she utters several arcane syllables: "An ensh'eass carn"
Where she had been crouching, the crumbling remains of a small tower's base now stands. It reaches just under five feet in both height and diameter. It isn't the most convincing facade she's managed, but she hopes it will be enough to fool the dull orcs that draw nearer.
If relevant:
Siann bolts upright at Kuiper's warning, her mind sharp and alert.
She fetches her swords and moves quickly into the concealment offered by the nearby undergrowth.

Fronar shows a slight sign of panic until the familiar voice speaks in his head, "Young one. Sometimes the sharper mind can defeat the sharpest blade. Deception is as much a weapon as a sword." Fronar's expression slips to confidence. "Alright uncle, let's see what they're made of." He points himself toward the embers where a fire had been.
"Veritas, Credo, Oculos."
Upon finishing the incantation a human size fire appears in the middle of where a the embers of the campfire had been almost extinguished.
"It's only an illusion and can't fight, but it may provide some intimidation or at the very least draw some enemies away from the rest of you, if they attack it."
Grommund runs over and ducks behind some cover. He holds his shortbow ready to shoot at whoever is attacking them.

Grommund runs over and ducks behind some cover. He holds his shortbow ready to shoot at whoever is attacking them.
Kuiper stowed his shield on his back and in one deft movement draws both his longsword into one hand as well as his shortsword into the other. His Longsword emanates a pale blue light from the blade as arcane ruins flare on it. Instead of hiding he calls out to the trees "Come and get some, Orc filth!" as he moves to take up a position ahead of Fronar and Athelwyn.
Oleanne barks orders in an unknown tongue to her wolves and then she moves deep into a nearby thicket to conceal herself.
Wolf#2 steps back to join side by side with his companion and they form a line to the southern entrance to the campsite, awaiting the appearance of the first creature. Both wolves snapping and growling as a warning to anyone that might come near.
Fronar moves next to Grommund, casting a spell on the fire that made it take a human form.

As you hear the band of orcs moving ever closer you here the sound of the war chief yell "Take no prisoners! Charge!"
Kuiper spits to the group "Stay away from melee with the war chief, let me handle him. He will likely kill the unskilled in one shot." then looking back toward the woods. "Here they come!!!!"

Kuiper readies to attack anything that comes within range.
Oleanne readies a spell to cast as soon as she sees the orc leader come within range.
Wolf #2 readies to attack anything that comes within range.
All of a sudden the first wave of orcs comes running out of the trees, Grommund fires and catches Orc #1 in the right thigh with his arrow but it is not enough to stop the creature.
Four orcs appear on the trail before Kuiper and Athelwyn with Javelins at the ready. They do not notice Athelwyn and think she is but a ruin of an old building. All four orcs toss their javelins at Kuiper. Three of the four javelins stab into the man like a pin cushion. Despite the fact that three javelins now stuck out of the rangers legs and shoulder he did not go down.
Two more orcs appeared on the path by the two wolves, not close enough for the wolves to attack yet as they each threw a javelin at a wolf. The quick reflexes of the animals let each of them move out of the way as the javelins struck the ground beside them.

A flicker of orange emanates from within the false tower, followed by Athelwyn incanting "Spar'le an deith!"
A swirling orb of fire streaks through the air—and through the walls of her illusion itself—to explode on one of the approaching orcs. It dissipates into motes of spark and orange cinders after impacting, at which point Athelwyn has already began retreating back into the safety of numbers.
Dorin rushes forward and throws a handaxe at the orc emerging from the trees.
Siann swears under her breath, her place of hiding was nowhere near the attackers. Her mercenary captain would not have been impressed.
She presses deeper into the brush, angling toward the sound of the wolf's fighting...

Fronar moves out into the clearing and fires a blast of energy at the wounded orc. As the energy blast rips into the orc he wobbles and staggers but does not fall.
Dorin rushes forward and throws a handaxe at the orc emerging from the trees. The handaxe goes wide right and misses its intended target.
The Orc War Chief can still be heard barking orders from within the trees somewhere but does not emerge as of yet.
Siann moves through the brush and trees toward the wolves but her gracefulness fails her as she exposes herself to the enemy.
A swirling orb of fire streaks through the air—and through the walls of Athelwyn's tower illusion itself—to explode on the injured approaching orc. It dissipates into motes of spark and orange cinders after impacting, at which point Athelwyn has already began retreating back into the safety of numbers as the first orc falls to the ground in flames.
Wolf #1 rushes forward and sinks its teeth into Orc #5 pulling it to the ground as it does so.
Grommund remains crouching behind the cover, pulling another arrow from his quiver. He raises his bow and fires on the next orc. His arrow hits but does not penetrate the hide armor that the orcs are wearing as the arrow is knocked free by the approaching orc.
Kuiper uses his healing magic to close up some of his wounds and then runs up in front of a couple of orcs screaming "Attack me you dim witted fools."
Oleanne seeing Kuiper rush the orcs moves in his direction emerging from the tree line spouting unintelligible words while pointing and making gestures with her hands. Vines and roots spring forth from the ground and grasp at the approaching orcs feet. Both orcs are restrained by the vines.
Wolf #2 rushes up and attacks the prone orc that the other wolf had pulled down. Biting into it and tearing away bits of orc flesh.
Orc #2 and #3 draw their greataxe's and attack Kuiper. The one restrained by the vines misses the ranger completely but the other orcs axe finds its target digging deeply into the rangers shoulder as the man howls in pain.
Orc #4 throws a javelin at Oleanne, striking the druid in the hip. Breaking the druids concentration on the spell the vines wither and die that are holding the two orcs.
Orc #5 stands up from prone and draws his greataxe and attacks wolf #1 slicing off the wolf's head in a single massive blow.
Orc #6 draws his greataxe and slashes through wolf #2 severing its spine as it falls and goes limp.
Oleanne howls in rage as her pets both meet their end under the orcs brutal attack.

Grommund prays to whatever gods are listening that he doesn't die in this stinking tree hole, covered by open sky and surrounded by soft-hearted bear-chasers. He raises his bow and grimly fires another arrow at the most wounded orc he can see.

A tear falls from Fronar's eye upon witnessing the brutal demise of the wolves. The sad expression is short lived, as Fronar's face quickly flushes red with anger. "Those wild creatures' lives were not yours for the taking. You shall share their fate!" Fronars hands rear up in front of him as if he is about to push a large object. As the thrusts both hands forward in the direction of the wolf killing orcs he recites another spell.
"Incertus, Pulcher, Imperio!"
Fairie Fire: Each object in a 20-foot cube within range is outlined in blue, green, or violet light (your choice).

A green ball of energy appears and screams toward the orcs. Upon reaching the empty space between them it explodes in a flash of bright green light. "Your pain will come quickly to those that mean to inflict it on you!"

Fronar pushes his hands toward the wolf killing orcs and recites a incantation. A green ball of energy appears and screams toward the orcs. Upon reaching the empty space between them it explodes in a flash of bright green light. Covering the two orcs with the substance and causing them to glow with the green light.
Dorin approaches one of the orcs standing next to Kuiper and brings his Maul down hard upon the creature. His maul hits its target in the chest as the air is expelled from it. It staggered, it wobbled but it did not go down.
Through the trees the Orc War Chief could be heard mustering the next wave into combat as you hear another group of orcs running toward the battle and would soon arrive.
Siann quickly launched a dart at the orc that the wolves had wounded, putting the dart where she wanted with precise precision as it penetrated the orcs eye and up into his brain as the creature fell to his death. Siann then retreated back toward the others.

Following Siann's lead, Athelwyn attempts to eliminate the sole remaining orc that threatens to harry the group's flank. She intones, "Spar'le an deith!" and evokes another pyrotechnic blast to briefly illuminate the surroundings before zipping overhead and towards the orc. The bolt of fire striking it in the arm but not stopping its advance.
Grommund prays to whatever gods are listening that he doesn't die in this stinking tree hole, covered by open sky and surrounded by soft-hearted bear-chasers. He raises his bow and grimly fires another arrow at the most wounded orc he can see which happens to be the one standing next to Kuiper. His arrow flies true and strikes the orc in the head as it falls to the ground.
Kuiper almost on instinct shifts south to bring the two remaining orcs into his sights as he lashes out at the first with his longsword slashing the creature brutally across the chest causing it to stagger under the blow but it did not fall. Kuiper then spun and swung his longsword at the other orc but it managed to duck the incoming blow. Then with his other hand he thrust his shortsword at the injured orc running it completely through and then kicking its body off its blade. Turning to focus on the remaining orc he called out "A little healing here would be nice!"
Oleanne looked at Kuiper as he called for aid but her primal urges took over as she saw one of the orcs that had slayed her pets still stood. As she moved in his direction her body began to twist and distort, hair began to cover her body until a giant brown bear now moved toward the orc. First she bit into the orc's head and began sinking her teeth through and then used her claws to literally rip the orc asunder as she brutally attacked the now dead creature.
As only one orc remained visible another wave rushed through the trees.
Orc #4 swings his greataxe at Kuiper but the ranger knocked away the blow with the flat of his blade.
The newly arrived orcs flung their javelins through the camp. Two javelins landed near Dorin but neither found their target. However the javelin aimed at Kuiper struck the ranger in his back. Two of the javelins went toward the brown bear, one bounced off its hide but the other struck deep. Another javelin came near Fronar but flew over his head missing him completely.

Fronar grins in content as he sees the druid in bear form approach the 1 remaining wolf killing orc that is glowing. He has no intention of denying the druid her just revenge.
Feeling the breeze of a javelin passing over his head, Fronar turns his attention to the 2 orcs that appeared not far from him. He takes a few steps towards them. "Uncle show our true nature!"
"You have chosen poorly in selecting us as your enemy! Gaze into the eyes of your destruction!"
As he moves towards them, a silhouette of a ghostly elderly gnome with large fangs replaces the little gnome's normal expression. His eyes glow with a cold deep blue outline around black eyes rivaling a lich's.
"Cower before me before paying the toll for your ferry to the realm of the dead!"

Siann sees the lone orc to the left side and leaps to the attack! Bounding over the fallen tree, her shortsword flashes at the orc's neck and cuts it deeply across the upper chest, as it reacts to that blow her hip turns and a foot launches violently towards it's head impacting it in the chin and snapping its neck backward at an awkward angle as the vertebrae snap and it collapses before her.
Turning to face the nearest of the newcomer orcs, Athelwyn continues weaving fiery magics to bring down the brutes. She sends another flaming projectile streaking across the battlefield. The flaming ball burst against the incoming orc but it does not fall, its head, face and chest now seared from the blast.
Grommund shifts positions onto the other side of the fire pit and surveys the battlefield for wounded orcs. He raises his bow and fires at the recently singed orc. The arrow strikes the orc deeply in the chest as it falls to the ground dead.
Kuiper again calls upon powers of the earth to bring healing magics to him. His form is covered in a white glittery light as some of his wounds once again heal themselves up.
The brown bear moves on to the next orc in a merciless rage. Biting and slashing at the orc but the creature is able to fend off the bear's attacks.
The orc in front of Kuiper swings his greataxe towards the ranger but Kuiper sidesteps the blow to avoid any injury.
The orc in front of Dorin draws his Greataxe and swings in a downward arc toward Dorin, the blade connecting with the dwarf's chest solidly as Dorin staggers under the blow but somehow keeps his footing.
The frighted orc in front of Fronar moves away from the scary gnome and toward Athelwyn as it draws its greataxe and swings down still shaking from the fear of the gnome. The axe cuts deeply into her ribs as bone is exposed and broken as she howls in pain with the blow.
Another orc throws a javelin at the ranger and pierces his right leg in a spray of blood.
The orc in front of the brown bear lashes out with his greataxe cutting the bear from neck to back down the side, flaying open a horrific wound on the animal.

Through the trees you could hear the orc war chief continue to bark orders into the camp as he remained hidden, his tone seemed to be that of frustration that the group had not been dealt with as of yet.

Grommund focuses on his breathing to keep it even and deep as he reaches for another arrow. He pivots to face the orc attacking Athelwyn and fires at it.
Pain isn't a sensation Athelwyn is familiar with; at least, not the physical kind. She seems momentarily stunned at the ruin inflicted on her upper abdomen, not realizing that the pained cry she hear is her own. Her knees buckle and her vision blurs. . . and then there is rage. She matches the frenzy of the orc in front of her with an ear-piercing battlecry of her own. Flames swirl around her hand, and her evocation is managed through sheer willpower alone. Fire trails her swiping fist, and Athelwyn does not relinquish the dweomer until the burst of flame is inches away from the orc's face.
More firebolt loving for my new orcish dancing partner.
Round 5
Siann looks down with satisfaction at the ruined orc on the ground before her, then her head swivels at the sound of bestial pain and anger from the great bear.
She can see it is grieviously injured, but is brought up by Athelyn's cry of pain. Siann turns just in time to see the orc pull it's axe from the wizard's side.
She sprints to her companions's aid, leaving the bear to its fate...

Current Map: Campsite Battlemap
Siann once again leaps the logs and sprints toward Athelwyn as the orc engages and injures the woman. Running the orc through the stomach with her shortsword as soon as it is within reach. The wounded orc is surprised by Siann's skill but still stands despite the wound. Siann lashes out with a martial chop toward the orcs neck but the orc blocks the incoming blow with the flat of his greataxe.
Athelwyn's hands swirl with anger and with fire as she hurls a bolt of it at the orc attacking her, the close proximity of the orc causes her trouble with the attack and the firebolt misses its target as he flies past it.
Grommund also seeing the orc upon them turned and fired at the orc on Athelwyn, catching it off guard with it busy defending itself from the two women. His arrow catching the orc in the back of the neck sending a spray of orc blood into the air as it fell to the ground.
Kuiper concentrates his attack on orc #4 striking out with his magical longsword first. The blade slicing the head clean off of the orc that now fell before him. Before it even hit the ground Kuiper had stepped north toward the orc in front of Dorin and stabbed out with his shortsword running the creature through its side as he followed the attack with another blow from his longsword that also decapitated this orc as it fell.
The brown bear that is grievously wounded begins to magically heal up some of its wounds as its fur glows with a soft pale light. It then raises up on its hind legs and slashes the orc with its claws and then bites and crushes its skull within its maw. Spitting out the orc like a rag-doll the bear moves around and toward the final remaining orc.
The remaining orc looks very afraid and calls out for his companions, fearing engaging the man who just fell two of his brothern he threw a javelin at Kuiper before falling back. The weapon stuck Kuiper in the chest but Kuiper knocked the pointed stick away as his armor held and was not penetrated.
"We have them Now!!! Watch out for their Chief!!!!" Kuiper says as he turns his attention to the remaining orc he could see.

"It appears the conflict has about run it's course. Where is this big baddie we keep hearing about?" Fronar repeats his previous magical volley (eldritch blast) at the remaining orc.
"Your silly minions are gone! I double dog dare you to come out and fight your own battle, silly smelly orc guy!"
