Zardu was only a heartbeat behind Gudleifr.
While able to get ahead of the surprise opponent, Kelisa lets an arrow fly loose, hoping to give an edge to their side, while Untari stays to guard the rear, though much may not be coming from that side.
Untari's low half growl half hiss was all the warning anyone got as two orcs came barreling up the stairs.
Your blows have no effect on the large orc, whether it was from the sudden nature of the assault, the worry over getting in one anothers way, or just skill but the large orc stood untouched from the initial assault.
He swung his massive ax at the first to rush him, but then half stepped towards you Zardu and brought his massive skull down towards your nose for a massive headbutt!
The orcs swing with his axe was wild, very wild, and clearly it left him a little off balance, but not off balance enough that he didnt connect with your nose Zardu. One of the orcs running up the stairs slashed at Untari with a wicked looking knife while the other chanted and threw a globule of acid at you Kelisa but it was wildly high.
[ooc] Party Go
I'll take that as a good sign!
Gudleifr does not hesitate for a moment - he charges straight at the orc.
"DIE, ORCISH SCUM!", the Ulfen roars as he swings his longsword at the brute!
"You will have to fight harder than that, orc!", calls Gudleifr to distract the orc as he strikes!
Zardu slammed his scimitar into the enraged orc as his goddess helped him stay in the fight.
Trusting her companions to care for the larger opponent, Kelisa takes aim at the weird orc female throwing acid with her bow, and lets an arrow fly towards her. In the meantime, Untari does his best to bite and overcome the orc near him
Doran commands one of the orcs coming up the stairs to flee, hoping that will give his companions time to deal with the spellcasting orc.
Zinar speaks a short arcane phrase and a blueish white ray shoots out at the acid throwing orc.
The large orc roars in furry and for a moment despite the obvious grevious wounds both Gudliefr and Zardu inflicted upon him looked ready to continue his assualt. He rears back with his large axe the intent clear. . . and before he swung his body gave out and he collapsed.
The shamen too suddenly came under rapid fire and tooth, between the arrow that stuck deep in her shoulder, She howled in rage as the attacks continued on her, Her bloodshot eyes focused on the panther and dark elf until a beam of cold clipped her hip. Howling some strange invictives she waggled her fingers and spread them out wide a sheet of flame washing over Untari, Zinar and Doran
Your spell for the orc to flee doesnt seem to take hold Doran, though luckily the orc charges at you and in doing so howls out in fury as flames wash over him too. He begins to swing a jagged looking axe at you Doran but his aim is way off when the flames from the spell ignite his clothing on fire. He is not looking good at all.
Zardu moves towards the shaman to strike at hi.
Seeing the larger orc falls, Gudleifr turns to seek a new target.
He charges for the shaman, intent on cutting them down!
Taking the full blast in his face. Zinar responds by sending a force bolt back at the caster.
Doran can't get out of the way in take and is burned quite badly. He calls on Abadar to heal some of his and his companions wounds.
Taking some damage from the Shaman as she and Untari dodge out the way, Kelisa takes aim again with her bow, firing an arrow as Untari tries to bite the shaman around the legs.
The shamen is cut, blasted with magic, arrowed and while quite dead ravaged by and angry panther. The two remaning orcs, clearly in a panic decide that going down fighting was the best option. The badly burnt orc takes a tired swing at you Doran, while the fresh faced one unleashes his fury at you Zardu
Clearly whatever gods they followed had abandoned them.
Gudleifr steps in, seeking to set up a flanking maneouvre with Zardu against the orc attacking the Varisian.
The Ulfen's blade flashes, cutting through the air and into orc flesh!
The half burnt now almost cut in twain orc falls to the ground lifeless
Zardu struck once more at the remaining orc.
With what he believes that the major threat has been dispatched. Zinar gathers his magical energies and launches a force bolt at the orc.
As there was now only one opponent left, Kelisa and Untari both focus their attacks on the last remaining orc. Going for a well aimed shot, along with a bite at the same time, Kelisa is hopeful the combo attack works flawlessly
Doran bolsters himself and his allies with the power of Abadar once again keeping the orcs from his healing mercies.
Watching as some of his wounds heal as the divine power flows over him. Zinar feels much better.
"We still need to find the captives."
"My thanks, Doran. Aye, Zinar, we do. Was there any trapdoor or stairs to beneath this tower?"
"We can give the place a thorough search, they have to be here somewhere."
"Aye! Look for anything hidden! Tracks as well!"
Zinar casts Detect Magic to uncover any magic in the area that could be hidden.
Seeing her companions start to search, she does the same, though she is a bit confused as to what they were looking for. " Perhaps we should wonder what we are searching for? Perhaps a... a clue yes? What do we need to find? What is it we look for?" While looking, Untari comes up and manages to look like the most bored animal in the world, as if nothing had recently happened.
