Round One Recap
On most days Mordea can sneak up on someone without being noticed. But Quarl the Freedom Town Thug, though a bit inebriated, noticed Mordea trying to sneak up on him. He gets up to meet the former Assassin.
He is greeted by a clumsy thrust of Modea's shortsword.
The Thug, incensed by this slight, drops his spear, pulls out his axe and tries to cleave into the daring young lass. But the moonshine got the better of the attack.
The other Thugs join in with worse results. Freedom Town can boast some rot gut, but none like "The Killing Ground's" potato squeezins.
Kaos' spell failed. He engages.
Anga moves up......
Lanterns lit inside the tavern is enough for Mordea to notice a Half-Orc leaving out the back door.
Haskyll moves up and fires a bolt. It lodges in the door frame.
Ragnir moves up offering the former Assassin a little strategy in this situation.
Ulfgard moves up.
Round Two
Mordea knows she is not that good in a straight up fight. She listens to Ragnir's advice and takes a step back , seeing if Quarl move up on her. And if he does, she will be ready.
Quarl does follow.
And Mordea is ready with her thrust.
She manages to stick her small sword through Quarl's studded leather. He slumps over and begins to bleed out.
The second Thug sees the towering Kaos approaching and flings his spear at the big man. But the off balanced throw misses.
The third one steps up and attacks Kaos with his axe. But his drunkenness becomes even more apparent.
Haskyll slings his crossbow, and tries to hit the spear man with some acid while he draws his warhammer out.
"C'mon ya demented spawn of a goblin and orc, ye c'n be doin' better than throwin' tha' wee pointy stick. Unless o'course tha's no the only WEE stick ye be wieldin'. Makes sense why ye'd be angry all the time. I'd be angry too, if'n me manhood were as small as all tha'."
Ragnir looks at Kaos incredulously, "Yer askin' a dwarf ta chase and catch somethin'...on foot? We ain't made fer sprints, lad, unless ye want te be wearin' it down, and catchin' it *eventually*, ye'd best be lookin' te someone wi' longer legs."
Anga lets loose a force missile

Round Two Recap
Mordea takes a step back. Quarl, the Freedom Town Thug, pursues, but the former Assassin slips her shortsword under a seam in his studded leather armor. Quarl falls to the ground.
The remaining drunk Thugs attack Kaos, but their attacks were ineffective due to the moonshine.
Kaos swings with his big axe at one of the Thugs, but the Freedom Town mercenary luckily move out of the path in the nick of time.
Anga hits the Thug again with a Force Missile. The Thug's anger turns to fear.
The Half-Orc appears around the building and let's fly a short spear. The pointy stick hits Haskyll.
Ragnir tries to intimidate the Half-Orc and Thugs. The Half-Orc is unaffected, but the Thugs are getting concerned abut their plight.
With fear growing in his eyes the third Thug injured by Anga's Force Missiles is cut down by Ulfgard.
Round Three
Mordea sees a spear hit Haskyll. This really upsets her. She moves in the direction of the thrower. Seeing the Half-Orc, she attacks and manages to cut into the Half-Orc's skin.
The remaining Thug panics and flees out the back door.
Haskyll pulls the pointy stick out of his armour as he moves up behind Mordea and he sees the last thug making a beeline for safety.
Oh no you don't
Smiling a toothy smile Ulfgard looks around for his next victim.
Here, you can have a taste too.
Anga cast a magic missile spell, imbuing it with extra punch, targeting the figure around the corner
striking a glancing blow.
"Hurry you pigs!", the Half-Orc screams as he is hit by a Magic Missile. He then shakes off the pain and calmily looks at Mordea, "I saw you last in Freetown. I thought you were dead," the Half-Orc says pulling out a Greataxe. He is way off balance with the well-crafted heavy blade hitting nothing but air.
Moving over to the orc Ulfgard lets him taste dwarfen steel.

THe Half-Orc, though not as affected by the moonshine, seems that way by his clumsy swing of his Greataxe.
Ragnir guards the rear.
Ulfgard moves up and introduces his Dwarven steel to Half-Orc flesh. The Half-Orc collapses and begins to bleed out.
The Orcs across the way are still not paying any attention to what happened at the tavern.
The last Freedom Town Thug drops his weapons and surrenders.
End of this part of the encounter.
Mordea ask if the other Freedom Town Thugs can be stabilized, "Most in Freedom Town will do most anything for a few more coin. They were likely like me, hired help with a promise of booty."
Anga has no expression on her face. They are either responsible or complicit in the deaths of children and other innocents, so as to gain loot. They deserve punishment,severe punishment, not a new job. Tie them up, so they can harm none. When this is over, the town can decide what to do wit them.
She looks sharply at the rogue.
That is the reward for fighting with orcs! Ye would do well to remember it.
She spits on the thugs and pulls out rope from her pack.
Anyone tie knots well. And quickly, we have orcs to kill and a beacon ta light.
The laws of this town will decide their fate.
"Tie the wankers up and let's deal with the orcs, so's we c'n be gettin' on ta fighting giants."
While I am working to stabilize these people, check to see if there are any innocents in there
Haskyll takes a bit of time to quickly bandage each.
You notice an Orc apparently looting the building across the way, what do you do?
Mordea will look at Anga, "Yes Ma'am. I am beginning to understand."
"Sigh, we waste precious time here! But alas let us clean some"
Moving forward Ulfgard tries to engage the next one.
While I am working to stabilize these people, check to see if there are any innocents in there
Haskyll takes a bit of time to quickly bandage each.
Haskyll finds what looks like a dead man on the floor of the tavern is actually still alive. He was just faking it in order to survive. When the man realize that Haskyll is neither an Orc or a Thug, he sits up, "Thank you. Thank you. I thought I was a goner. I am Rabus Clarenton and this is my tavern. The Orcs came through first killing everything moving. I dropped to the floor to play dead. A few minute later, I was about to get up when that Half-Orc and those Freedom Town folk came in. They seemed more interested in the squeezins. But I wasn't taking no chances. I stayed on the floor being quieter than a mouse."
Rabus gets up, "I don't have much to offer, but takes these. They may come in handy. I keep them for patrons that can't hold it together." He hands Haskyll four vials. "Now these in the green vials have Potions of Cure Sickness. They work really well. Now these vials have a concoction of my own. I call it sooth syrup. You can drink a gallon of squeezins after taking a vial of this and not worry one bit about feeling sick from it."These vials are odd shaped made from both clear and green glass.
"Have they taken the whole town?" Rabus has a very worried look upon his face.
In that case Rabus, when we go north to engage those orcs, you head for the inner gates. They still hold
Haskyll takes the 4 vials of cure sickness, and gives them to the 3 front liners, hanging onto one himself. And then he points Rabus in the direction of safety
Now those orcs have breathed their last. In Torags name, let us remove them from town
Mordea moves around and checks the back door.
Haskyll moves up to the door and opens it.
