Alkaid lets another stone fly
and it goes flying by one Orc's head
Another aimed shot, hopefully with more control this time

Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25
Damage!: 1d8 ⇒ 4
That's a good shot, a hit! The orc stops and covers the wound. Another orc closes the distance on Alkaid.
Jediah moves to protect Alkaid and whacks the orc

Axe: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
That was an impressive hit. You cut deeply into him.
Landriss aims an arrow at the orc....
and misses again.
Alkaid lets her 2nd last stone she grabbed on the ground fly as she'll need to pick up a few more
The orc strikes at Jediah.
Jediah hits back!
Alkaid lets her last stone she grabbed on the ground fly as she'll now need to pick up a few more
The disguised Kitsune takes aim at the same target as Alkaid, and takes a shot at it
Realizing that he's just wasting arrows Landriss puts the bow down and draws his rapier. He moves over by Jediah to try and help there.

[dice=Attack if he can reach the melee]1d20 +3
Sounds like a plan. Flanking the enemy is a good move.
End Round 3.
Begin Round 4.
Sorry, I haven't keep track of the rounds. But I take my turn after Jediah and Alkaid.
Alkaid gets to picking up some more stones off the ground to get slinging stones again.
Jediah hacks
My turn.
An orc tries to hack at Alkaid with a horizontal swipe or cut with his axe. ;
Jediah's and Landriss' nemesis knows he's fighting two opponents. He tries to attack Landriss. ;
Robyn Veil's target gets out a composite longbow and tries to shoot from wolfback. ;
That strike hits and seriously hurts Landriss. He isn't going to run away though. He tries to step across from Jediah to flank.

[dice=Attack]1d20 +3
[dice=damage if that hits?]1d6 +1
Yes, that hits.
She shakes her head at the poor marksmanship. The orc is even worse than Landriss
"Hey, Lan. You're not the worse shot out there!" she smirks and takes another careful shot at the mounted orc, nicking him slightly

Pew!: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 8 + 1 = 22
Thunk!: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
End Round 4
Sorry about being late, but a few things came up.
Begin Round 5
It's your turn Alkaid and Jediah!
Jediah keeps attacking
Alkaid gets back to slinging stones
and misses horribly, with a stone lodging into a cabbage sell's cabbage
My turn!
There is an arrow, Robyn Veil's arrow, that penetrated armor and is sticking out of an orc. Enough to make him stop and try to remove it. Landris' flanking maneuver allows him to strike an orc, but not causing any serious damage. Jediah and Alkaid both miss their targets.
The knights fared better. They manage to cut down the orc invaders.
Landris' and Jediah's orc attacks Landris. ;
Alkaid's orc attacks with his axe. ;
Finally Robyn's orc tries to strike with his bow with Point Blank Shot! ;
Seems they are trading arrows, though hers are a bit more on target, as she send one its way

Pew!: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
Thud: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
That's a kill. The orc falls off his warg.
She yips in victory before she refocused on the work
"That's one down!"
Jediah tries to find another target.
Alkaid takes a 5-foot step away, dropping the stones, and puts on one of her Brass Knuckles she hid near her belt.
She also switches to defensive fighting. (so a bit of an AC bonus for now.)
Landris somehow gets missed. He tries to finish off their orc.

Attack: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 2 = 11
damage if that hits?: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
It's a miss.
MY TURN!
The orc that Landris tries to hit turns his attention to Landris and strikes with his axe. ;
The orc dealing with Alkaid tries to hit her. ;
The knights begin slaughtering the orcs, forcing them to retreat! You hear a horn blow, and the Orcs begin to break off, creating Attacks of Opportunity for all of you.
Alkaid tries to smack the orc and misses.
"LAN!" she calls out when she sees her companion crumple to the ground just as the orcs start to retreat. She starts to rush over, she wasn't someone to be able to tend to wounds. But she does know putting pressure on bleeding wounds helps to reduce the loss of blood
Once the way is clear Alkaid will start moving to Stabilize the wounded in the area.
Once the way is clear Alkaid will start moving to Stabilize the wounded in the area.
Lan is in need of stabilization. Landriss is slowly dying. There are two other knights that are dead. You see clerics of Corellon and Pelor working to tend to the wounded.
Jediah staggers over to try to help Lan not die.
Jediah staggers over to try to help Lan not die.
As the orcs retreat back into the mountains, a cleric of Pelor comes over. "He's dying," he says. "But he doesn't have to."
He casts cure serious wounds on Lan. Healing points of damage.
Landris wakes up and looks around. "Next time I stick with the bow, even if I miss most of my shots!" He gets up and looks at his almost completely healed wounds. "Thank you!"
Landris wakes up and looks around. "Next time I stick with the bow, even if I miss most of my shots!" He gets up and looks at his almost completely healed wounds. "Thank you!"
"You're welcome," says the priest.
Robyn gives him a tight hug "Best do that, yes. No more scares, okay?"
So what are we gonna do know?
"Well, this needs a response," says the Prince. "I'll be willing to take any volunteers willing to go into the mountains and track the orcs down."
I'll help! No raiders are gunna get away from me!
Landriss recovers his bow and joins Jediah, "I'll go as well. But this time I'll stick to my bow."
Alkaid doesn't let her emotions about what happened get the better of her.
Everyone is getting caught up in the fever of getting back at them.
Which is not bad, but it can be. If every fighting body goes, it'll leave people hear unprotected against another assault. As I find the timing of the Orcs here where "two" royal members just so happened to be here. Since the prince is fake, but her highness is genuine royalty it could leave her unguarded, especially since the fake is leading anyone able bodied in protecting others into the hunt.
Now if the Princess were to follow with her guards, it would be double edged, but she could in theory rack up favor and or achievements in getting the throne.
"What's the plan though? Just rush after them? Get lured into an ambush? I personally don't think it's a good idea to just rush in"
Well we can scout out the area. See how many are and how we can attack.
Alkaid keeps thinking on how things will play out in various scenarios.
