Mirianna begins to cast a spell, and finds her armor too restrictive, losing the preparation of magic weapon.
Arty moves toward the orca, pulling his magical Longsword as he did so. ”Oho, have at you, Evil orcs! Throw down your weapons and surrender to us!”
Singol draws his short sword, moving up behind Artival. He is double-moving.
"Where is the halfling?!"
Arty was surprised at the quick and effective assault by his new friends. ” I guess I need to be more prepared. You lot are quick on the draw,” he says with a grin. He moves to search the area where the three were located, hoping to fin a clue to the whereabouts of the missing Person they sought.
Singol slows and stops to meet the orcs' charge. One orc drops, then another. He looks around for more orcs, before investigating the bodies.
"Whoa, dudes. That went fast."
with the all clear,
Mirianna attempts to cast Detect magic to aid in search the orcs and the area
|
The orcs have studded leather, large wooden shields and scimitars, searching the bodies you find 15 gp on all three. Plus a potion of Jump. In addition you find what looks like a "small" sized shirt in one of the orcs backpacks.
"Oh no! These orcs have surely kidnapped the halfling, judging by this shirt! Haldyr- can you track them?"
Arty follows along, worried about the safety of the poor halfling after the grim discovery.

The path continues, as you continue up into the hills. It gets later in the afternoon. The normal sounds of birds and animals grows dim. The sun starts to descend on the horizon.
Mirianna tries to help looking around to no avail, then nods and starts heading towards the cabin. "This seems the time to hasten our pace, no? He must be held in that cabin then."
Mirianna attempts again to draw on her magic just before reaching the cabin door, making the movements to cast shield.
Arty basically breaks into a run, worried about the Halfling. ”Faster, faster, the little guy needs us! Maybe it’s not too late,” he whispers, urging the group forward.
"Haldyr, I'm glad you're with us. I'm no tracker."
Singol stops when he sees the cabin. A quick look around shows nothing unusual so he advances to the cabin. If he gets there without incident, Singol will press himself against the outside wall, preferably near a window.
Mirianna will move forward after casting shield as above, positioning just behind Singol.
Artival storms up to the door once he was told what was happening in the cabin. He waits for bids from the group, but once given, he tries to kick the door down.
Strength check
Singol holds up three fingers, then points towards the cabin.
If Singol can fit through the window, he will try to enter the cabin that way after Artival kicks the door down. Otherwise he'll throw a dagger through the window (if open), then join the rush through the doorway.
If needed:
The warrior storms into the room and swings his magical blade at the closest baddie.

”Throw down your weapons and give us the hostage!”
Mirianna moves in, hopping onto the table so she can bash the orc!
Singols roars in pain and anger, then attempts to stab the closest orc, whether up or down.
Mirianna steps forward and swings at the final orc.
The orc's scimitar slashes past Singol's parry, slicing deep into the halfling. Singol wobbles and bobbles, barely remaining on his feet. All he can do is defend.
"Pick on someone your own size! Or...where did the giant come from?!"
Arty swings his magical blade at the remaining baddie.

The remaining orc drops from Duraz's swing.
Combat over
The party hears quiet before the muffled sounds of mumbling come from the bedroom.
You look under the bed and see a young halfling tied up with a gag in his mouth. His eyes have a frightened look in them and he shakes his head in a "no" fashion as he looks at the party armed with weapons.
Mirianna sheathes her great sword and attempts to smile at the child, "Don't panic- we came to rescue you. Your grandmother sent us."
Singol moves slowly to the bedroom. When he sees the halfling, he kneels on the floor.
"We came to rescue you. Your grandma sent us."
Arty stands back, looking around fro any hidden dangers.
