* @ Variel
At first you were convinced that this was going to be another wild goose chase... which wasn't necessarily bad. Professor Mathys always said that "failure was successful in that it eliminated incorrect answers". Then you met the girl. The story was that she had been struck by lightning, but instead of killing her it seemed to gift her with an unknown language, and some weird artistic ability. Her superstitious parents owned several tenant buildings, so had some income... but were convinced that she was possessed, so sent her to the Asylum. Word spread as it had its tendencies to do, and word got back to the Bards College where you were researching some ancient Atlantean texts. Overhearing the story, you were excited to check this out for yourself. Posing as a cousin to the girl (Francilla), you gained access.
The first hour you were bamboozled by her attempts to communicate with you. She seemed just as frustrated that you couldn't understand the gibberish, she was spouting... then you noticed a couple of things. First it was her eyes. They were almost solid black but for bright white pupils which you realized seemed to match the phase of the moon. Second, you really looked at the scrawling that covered the walls of her room, and realized that they were star maps... Not star maps of where you currently are, but of some alien and unknown system. Only your experience and knowledge allowed you to realize that the maps weren't random... but logically perfect... just alien. You quickly copied a couple of the more disturbing ones into your notebook and hastened to leave. You had to get these back to the college in Bards Gate where you could resume your research... with new clues.
As you travelled down the trail towards the River road your quiet introspection was interrupted by what you could only assume were the sounds of battle ahead... Then a mighty bellow in what you think is probably orcish, though you don't speak the language.
Perception (Variel) Low light vision
Telurion moves to the nearest orc and tries to lop its head from its shoulders. "Have at the beast."
◆Stride ◆◆Vicious Swing
Telurion outraged that the orc dared to throw an overgrown toothpick at him, glances at Lil, and moves forward swinging with a mighty swing at the creature... however he swung too hard, and the orc ducked under the blow... tired of being damaged.
Aduriel on deck.
◆ Caks will swap a dagger for the sling.
◆ Caks will stride 25 feet.
◆ Caks will piercing damage.
Caks switches weapons and throws his dagger at the orc engaged with Telurion. Strides up and finishes what he started. He gives a look to Tellurion and mentions that "That's how you do it big man". as the orc falls to his bullet and blade... with a little softening up by Lil's flames.
Seeing the first foe falling, Aduriel decides to go after the Orc Sergeant to reduce the morale of the enemies.
◆◆◆ Cast Force Barrage
Seeing that Caks, Lil and Telurion seem to have the closest orc in hand, Aduriel decides to concentrate on the bigger orc that just emerged from the fort bellowing orders... and sends a vicious stream of magical force towards the creature.
Orc Sergeant, and other orcs on deck.
Aduriel raises his streched hands and 3 balls of pale violett energy rise above his head, turning faster and faster before shooting towards the orc, slamming into his chest.

Lil darts forward to stand in front of Caks.
Once there she focuses and then a whirling disc of air speeds towards the force, the force of the wind able to cut flesh.

SB Screen
Orc #1 REF Save
Orc #2 REF Save
* Aduriel: Sticking close by his sister, Aduriel sends forth three unerring balls of force at the obvious leader of this band of orcs striking him soundly in the chest. He grimaces, and steps back a bit from the force of the blow, but it only makes him angrier... though a bit weaker.
* Orcs 2&3: look to their leader for guidance and hold ready for his commands. They look a little braver due to his presence.
* Lil: Lil steps in front of the celebrating Caks, and throws some kind of stick made of air at the two approaching orcs. The first one takes a large cut across his chest, but the second seems to enjoy the breeze created by the keenly edged figment of air.
*Orc Sergeant: Moves forward to engage the crew, bellowing at the top of his voice in orc.

Followed by Orc #4
Adayil is startled by the sudden cessation of loud storing from somewhere outside her tent... but near, and the sound of rustling preparation.
Adayil rips off her blindfold and pulls the the gag off her kouth, blinking against the brightness and breathing deeply. With a grunt she enacts her mystic claws and slices herself free of the restraints holding her legs.
◆Interact (remove blindfold/gag) ◆ ◆ Cast a spell (gouging claw)
She looks around, trying to see who/what the snuffling sound was coming from.
Krutk! Where are you!?!
Adayil rips the blinders off her eyes and spits out the nasty cloth from her moth and her environment becomes clearer. She had been laid out on the hard ground in a sailcloth tent. There is no light, but the cloth is thin enough to illuminate the inside. She is in here alone, and but for a small bowl of water there is nothing else in the tent. she does hear movement from behind her outside her tent.
Without her equipment she relies on her magic and summons a gouging claw from the primal chaos to slice through the ropes binding her legs.
Krutk scurries towards where he senses Adayil, the orc's paying no attention to him.
* Orc #4 : Already in trouble for sleeping on duty. (Shouldn't have finished that stolen brandy by herself). Orc 4 rises from the tent, steps outside with Javelin in hand.
◆ Movement (Stand from Prone)
◆ Stride
◆ Prepare Javelin

◆ stride ◆◆ vicious swing
"Aduriel. I'll wait till after you do something."
Seeing the Battle moving farther and farther away, Aduriel concentrates for a second before Calling forward two more balls of energy sending them once more against the strongest looking Orc.
He then starts rushing forward towards the orcs while trying to stay in the shadow of Telurion and the Caks.
◆◆ Caks strides twice

Orc 4 (Uninjured)
* Telurion: steps forward swinging his mighty sword from his heels, but perhaps swings a little too hard, and the Orc is able to slyly dodge the blow.
Caks looks quickly at the new member of their party with a nod of acquiescence to go first.
* Aduriel[/b]: Leaves his sister tangled in the underbrush, and steps forward to get a better view of the action. He releases two more of his colorful balls of force striking the biggest orc square in the chest again.
* [i]Caks: Caks moves forward quickly and with deadly intent sliding in behind the Orc gloating at Tellurion's unfruitful swing, and partially climbs up the beasts back before using his dagger to slice him from ear to ear. The big orc then releases some pent-up gas, and slowly slumps to the ground Caks riding him like a dying mare.
Lil gives Teulurion a quizzical sideways look at his comments about the orcs. But, then she is sending a bolt of flame at the wounded sergeant.
for fire damage.
She then calls upon the winds to aid Telurion.
* Lil: looks at the Orc Sergeant reeling from twin blasts from Aduriel and attempts to send a bolt of flame at the sergeant but the blast from Audriel slowed down his charge just enough to throw off her aim. She then says a few unusual words to Telurion... and he seems encouraged after his last couple of rounds.
* Orc Sergeant: "Quit Killing my soldiers". He yells at Caks as he steps forward to get better positioning.
◆ Stride
◆ Ready Greatclub
◆ Strike with Greatclub

Orc 4 on deck
Adayil hears the sounds of someone leaving the tent, and rises to follow them outside. Seeing a fellow, but unknown and likely enemy orc, and female at that, Adayil leaps to attack with her bare fists…
◆ Rise from prone ◆ Stride outside tent ◆ Unarmed strike

Adayil crawls from the tent, and stands striding forward to soundly punch Orc 4 in the back of the head.
Krutk dances with joy seeing his charge still alive and kicking. The formerly sleeping and slighty hung-over is almost knocked out by the revenge seeking female, but somehow keeps his feet after a few stumbling attempts at rebalance.
*Orc 4: Reeling at the unexpected blow the warrior turns to address the new threat to his existence. He strides to get a safe distance away and slings his javelin at her.
◆ Stride
◆ Strike (Throw Javelin at Adayil)
Throw
Point of Javelin
But trying to keep the arc of the throw of the javelin low enough to go through the gate causes his throw to come up short, quivering in the ground about 5' from Adayil.
◆ Ready Knuckle Dagger... and shake the cobwebs from his head.

Out of the corner of your eye you see your sister start to walk towards the river.
Top of Round 4 action
Telurion steps up to the sergeant and tries to put the leader down. With a roar he swings to split the orc in half.
step, vicious swing
Vicious swing: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18
dmg: 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (4, 7) + 4 = 15
* Telurion: Finally tired of being shown up by little caks, the mighty warrior steps forward, and with one mighty blow removes the head of the Orc Seargent. His head rolls a few feet and stops looking right at Telurion with a surprised expression frozen on his dead face.
Caks on deck.
Variel
You hear the sounds of combat from a short distance down the trail. If you hustle you can arrive next round... so if you choose to go ahead and roll initiative and I'll insert you next round... if any enemies still stand.
Aduriel continues to approach the fight and then summons a slippery coat of grease onto the grass below the last standing orc.
If Orc is not prone, then Caks gets out a second dagger, then Caks will do a Twin Feint (for the secondary attack the Orc is Off Guard).
If the Orc is prone, then Caks will strike three times.
{If Orc prone and is dead after the first strike, then move following the blue arrow}
Orc 1 Acrobatics Check.
* Aduriel: steps forward allowing his sister to care for herself and casts a spell causing the Orc standing next to Caks to slip and fall as the ground around him turns slick.
* Caks: Orc 1 looks up to see a small furry ball of fury attack him with a whirlwind of daggers.
He then steps forward slinging the blood from his sharp filet dagger.
◆ Strike
◆ Stride

Caks third action to be clarified then...
Adayil / Krutk on deck.
{If Orc prone and is dead after the first strike, then move following the blue arrow}

Orc 4 (12-HP Non-Lethal)
* Caks: still has one action. If not changed, then I'll move him next to Orc #4 and end his turn.
* Variel: Variel hears the sounds of combat from further down the trail and casts his most protective spell before moving forward to see what is happening.
Lil is up after Caks finishes his final action. I hesitate to move forward as where he's positioned at the end of his turn could affect what Lil chooses to do.
As Caks rushes forward dagger in hand Lil sends a blast of fire just past his left ear which strikes the unsteady (Both from a hangover, and Adayil's fierce blow). sending her to the ground unconscious.

Adayil is thrilled to see the light of another day, Krutk, and her companions from Raven... not necessarily in that order, as the familiar sight and smell of Lil's Firey elemental blast send her protagonist to the ground.
The smell of burning Orc flesh fills the air, and there is some unusual mixture of orc blood, and grease covering part of the ground. Caks seems disappointed that his new target's death was stolen from him.
The wounds suffered in the brief battle begin to ache as the party realizes a couple of things.
1. Alhindri is now neck deep in the river and seems to be unaware that she needs air to breathe.
2. there is a new arrival dashing from somewhere further along the trail. Variel Would you take a moment to describe what the recently engaged party sees as you dash onto the scene.
"Alhindri!" Shocked to see that hois sister somehow managed to turn around and walk in the opposite direction while he was not looking Aduriel drops his staff and his backpack and rushes back to where is sister is wading into the river, trying to hold her back.

As the scuffle comes to an end, a young aiuvarin rushes down the trail towards everyone. Longsword at the ready, there is a shimmer of magical energy surrounding his rather unusual armor which looks like it is made up of layered sections of ... leaves.
His hair is color of roasted chesnuts against his rather fair skin but the bright violet of his eyes catch attention, almost as much attention as the silver inlay on the breast of his armor symbolising Darach-Albith. He is calm as he reviews the situation, until he sees the girl in the river. He sheaths his sword and then there is another shimmer: no more sword, no more armor, just a very sharply dressed young half-elf looking a touched confused.
"The woman in the river ... can breath water?"
Adayil huffs a little, trying to take stock of the situation. Once she realises the fracas is done, she moves to scoop up Krutk and ensure his carapace is undamaged and that he is more or less…together.
The presence of an unknown elf and the arrival of an equally unknown half-elf keeps Adayil slightly tense, but that the former appears to know her friends and the latter seems not aggressive mollifies her more dangerous impulses. Adayil stares at the half-elf.
”Who are you? Where did you come from?” she says in Common.
”Adayil, good to see you again. Though the circumstances could have been better. How’d you end up here?” Telurion asks slipping his pack to the ground and looking for something to use as a bandage.
* @Aduriel: I'm going to need an Athletics Check (DC 15 to reach your sister and start dragging her to the bank. Maybe someone will help you with her when you get her to the bank.
