IC Adventurers in the Hands of an Angry God

[JbeJ275]

Mark clambers to his feet, wiping his knees free of mud.

He stares dead at the orc leader and hollers, "Surprise Motherf***ers!"

Taking a dagger from his boot he hurls it the nearest unengaged orc, then a glowing red spear bursts from his palm and striker the orc attacking Val.

Theren, HP: 22/22 AC: 15, PPerception: 14, SorcPoints: 3/4

Instead of backing away from the attacking orc straight away, Theren shouts a magic word and gathers two bolts of lightning in his palms. He then tries grab the orc's armor, and release the electricity.

As the shock will leave the orc momentarily stunned, Theren backs away, and casts another spell. This time a spectral black scimitar, with a blade shaped like a raven's wing, flies towards the orc, attempting to slash it.

Oona’s attack sends her opponent reeling back, breathing heavy but still breathing.

The fierce orc with a bone-handled sword easily dodges Mark’s knife but Val’s opponent isn’t so lucky as to dodge his glowing red spear.

Theren unleashes a fury of magical energy and drops his opponent before he can so much as cry out in pain.

[ThurlRavenscrof]

The two stronger orcs with the swords seem to be a sort of squadron leader. The one who’s followers are mostly still alive gives a war cry that reverberates through the flat plain, seeming to enliven his followers. He rushes forward in an attack on Oona.

The less fortunate squadron leader maintains her defensive position between the party and the orc leader.

The knight lands a solid hit but his opponent remains standing.

The warg paws at the ground wanting to move forward, but it's rider keeps it in check. Then he waves his hands in the air, casting a spell.

Those with magical proficiency can see it targets and benefits the three living smaller orcs.

[Desril]

Val suddenly seems to spark with electricity, bolts of lightning striking out from her eyes and feet, and more importantly, her outstretch hand as she unleashes an arc of lightning at the orc captain attacking Oona.

The captain seems to shake off the magical effect with sheer willpower. His only reaction being to growl in Val’s direction.

The three orcs, all damaged, continue their assault against the party. But now they seem to fight with a renewed ferocity.

[ThurlRavenscrof]

Shockingly, the orc takes the second stone directly in the eye and drops dead at Oona’s feet. A glance backwards at James reveals a very surprised face. Now Oona is able to focus on the Captain engaged with her.

[scalyfreak]

Oona shakes her head, ears ringing from a glancing blow that has blood dripping down over her shoulder. Not sparing a glance behind her, she resolutely pushes forward... quite literally. The upper edge of her shield is shoved into the the orc captain's face, followed by the rest of the shield backed by Oona's considerable strength, in an attempt to knock the orc off his feet for an easy opening.

The captain barely keeps his feet and Oona is able to get a hit in. But it’s barely a scratch to the veteran warrior.

[ThurlRavenscrof]

The orc who had been attacking the Sun Elf seizes up and falls dead to the ground - apparently effected by the dark energy surrounding her.

[JbeJ275]

Mark steps forward, and focuses for a brief moment causing the shaft of red light to dive once more at the captain.

[scalyfreak]

As another blast of energy flies right past Oona and lands uncomfortably close, she very briefly flinches away from it, and snarls, "Stop helping me, and KILL THE LEADER!"

[ThurlRavenscrof]

Mark lands another hit on the captain engaged with Oona and then spends a full 6 seconds mocking him relentlessly. The orc feels slightly bad about himself.

Theren, with another blinding assault, drops a second orc. The corpses are starting to pile up around him.

The second captain gives a cry of anger, just like the previous cry from the first captain a few seconds ago.

Following her instinct to gang up and outnumber opponents, she rushes in beside the other captain to attack Oona in tandem.

Aureus strides forward laying a hand on Oona, ignoring her command, and heals her with the power of Helm.

Seeing the destructing the pale elf is creating, the orc leader spurns his warg forward to take him out. Creating, at the same time, a glowing replica of a spear which also thrusts at Theren.

The warg's fierce attacks knock Theren down, and his warding is barely able to protect him being wounded even worse. Theren rolls away from the warg and the rider, and stands up. He makes another slashing motion with his wand, and the dark spectral blade hurls toward the rider.

Oona grins at the sight of the bright red spear of light, a grin that widens as the healing energies soar through her, seemingly not the least bit upset that he demand to not be helped is being ignored. She delays a split second to see if Mark's demand for grovelling is obeyed or ignored, then slams her shield into the same orc captain as before, following the move with an attack

Oona staggers from the impact of two simultaneous blows. From opposite directions, so at least she doesn't fall over. The blood trickling down over her forehead seems to be irritating her eyes and she's a bit unsteady on her feet. And then, a moment later, she straightens up, sword and shield held firmly, as she refuses to back down or give up.

Not Bloodied, since Thurl hasn't said she is. Just kind of hurt.

The knight makes his attack but fails along with the rest of his team.

Seeing theron has rolled away, the warg attacks the next closest enemy and the Orc leader joins in on the assault, bringing his glowing spear down into Val. The Orc leader then casts a spell on his two captains and barks a command at them in Orcish.

Mark presses his hand into Onassis back letting the power of the divine once more repair her wounds, on the other side of the combat the red lance spins once more before stopping the snarling warg and forcefully jabbing at it, hopefully dissuading it from mangling the boy in front of it.

While Oona can't see what's going on behind her, she feels the hand against her back and notices that the wound in her head closes enough to stop bleeding. Just as she's about to thank who she assumes is Mark, the orc leader casts his spell and Oona changes her mind.

"Theron, they're coming for you!"

[Majin]

Theren, HP: 12/22 AC: 15, PPerception: 14, Save DC: 14, SorcPoints: 1/4, Luck Points: 2/3

Theren notices Oona's getting rather winded. When (rarely) fighting, Theren preferred to keep his distance from opponents. Theren spoke a few words, casting a spell he rarely used, reinvigorating Oona.

Then Theren sends two bolts of fire out of his wand towards the warg rider.
