OOC: How far ahead are the orcs? Are they waiting for anyone to pass through, or are they aware and waiting for US?

Spot check if needed
Spot - (1d20+12)[27]

At any rate, after everyone's Listen and Spot checks:

Readying his bow, Laban motions to halt the party.

"Orcs ahead. I see two across, north side and two on the east side. Seems like a random ambush, but don't get overconfident."

Aldarin Sojourn

Accustomed to walking, Aldarin keeps to himself. It seems he is lost in thought, but nods and shakes his head to himself on many occasions.

B]Aldarin Sojourn[/B]

Quietly, Aldarin moves into the woods to the south (movesilently - (1d20+4)[18] and hide - (1d20+4)[5] and lines up the two pairs for his psionic blast. An audible shriek like that of a bird is heard as the four orcs' minds are assaulted.

All orcs - Will save DC 19 or stunned for 1 round.

Orcs see the party as well as Aldarin sneaking into the woods.

The 2 orcs to the south brace their heads and scream from the pain of the mental attack, the other 2 to the north are unaffected.

OOC: Wouldn't it be wiser to wait until everyone has post(ed?) their actions and then make some sort of review?
It'd be less confusing, at the least xD

[TempesT]

Hmm. that is true. Meh . Kool ill do that now.

If the orcs stay roughly together i'll cast Soundburst on them when it gets to me targeting as many as I can without hitting our guys for (1d6)[1] damage and stunning for one round if they fail a DC 15 fort save.

If I can't hit more than 1 then i'll draw my sword. If any of them reach me then instead of casting i'll draw my sword and attack (1d20+7)[14] to hit (1d8+3)[5] damage.

Since Aldarin went first, it makes sense to me. Plus, pbp takes so long, it is usually better to dm on the fly - posting as posters post (if that makes sense) and back track and fill in when it comes to slower posters. Just my humble opinion drawn from several years of experience at this thing. Take it for what you will.

also - do we want to use the recruitment thread as our OOC thread so we don't have to put things like this here?

you mean orcs? the two groups are right next to each other so i guess you can use soundburst, Please just post when it comes to your turn, just to make it simple as well as deciding what you are going to do before rolling.

Yes we will use the reqrutment forum for ooc from now on , and ya, on the fly dming does sound a little better.

Darohon draws his bow, and fires at the closer of the now visible screaming orcs.

Then, Tempest, you will want to change the first post's tag line of the recruitment thread to say something like Shade of a Blood Tree OOC; otherwise, you'll be getting more recruits.

[TempesT]

The arrow flew straight and impaled the orc in the leg(-10speed). It takes 2 damage.

The other two Scream a battle cry and charge forward closing with Darohon and Alain. They both swing thier great axes(Darohon)(1d20+8)[28] and (Alain)(1d20+8)[28]. Doing damage (Darohon)(1d12+3)[7] and (Alain)(1d12+3)[4].

[TempesT]

:O ok: roll for crits (Darohon)(1d20+8)[9] (Alain)(1d20+8)[21]
If it crits Darohon 21 damage and Alain 12 damage.

[TempesT]

Nope didn't crit, Darohon suffers a mighty blow from the howling orc (7 damage), at the same time the other strikes Alain in the chest(4 damage)

[Jair Barik]

OOC:Actually I think he does crit me...
My AC is 21 precisely...
I've already rolled my counter attack though

[TempesT]

well I use the "Defender gets the upper hand" Risk rule, AC defends anything equal to or below it.

So no you do not get 'hit', by the 'crit'.

[Jaxon]

Silas swiftly draws a wand from his belt and barks "Sieras". Two bolts of glowing crimson energy streak forth and slam into one of the orcs still reeling from Aldarin's psionic blast.
