Cormyr Forgotten Realms Game

[stupnick]

Coming to a decently hidden area, surrounded by rocks, you settle into a small indent into the ground, more or less covered by the rocks and very few sparatic bushes.

Each person settles into there spot, under rock formations, next to them, or just right smack dab in the middle of the plaines. Taking turns taking watches, Mor'iasti, Garret, and Telari take the first. Andreas, Hammertouch, and Bilken take the second, and Finally Ash, Saevanna, and Lylas take the third.

Throughout the night you do hear every once and a while low drum sounds, tho they definately sound closer than they were before. They are also coming to the north, the direction your heading. First and second watch go by with out any problems at all. During the third watch, before the sun has fully had a chance to rise something spooks Lylas. He slowly picks his head off the ground, the fur down his back starts to slowly rise, and his hears perk up. Though the only one who notices that is Ash.

As this is happening Ash out of the corner of his eye notices something moving in the distance. An animal, a person, focusing in on it, and looking more closely you see a small group of five Orcs that are sneaking up on the group. They seem to be only a mere 15-20 feet out from Mor'iasti and Saevanna. Looking at the group, other than Lylas being somewhat on edge, no one else seems to notice anything.

Ash proceeds over to wake Hammertouch up, trying not to be noticed while doings so. During the same time Lylas decides to take command of the situation, moving towards Saevanna with a low growl on his lips, alerting her to danger, finally once next to her he starts to growl and bark louder and louder.

Everyone but Garret, Telari, and Bilken are woken up through there actions.

Seeing this, the orcs give up there stealthy attack and close in around the camp.

The first two close in around Mor'iasti, fortunately for the cleric Mystra was watching over him, and both of them miss. The next two form around Saevanna, the first one strikes down right next to her and misses, unfortunately she isn't so luckily with the second axe. The second orc taking closer aim where the first one missed, brings his axe across the front of her chest leaving a large gashing wound, 10 points of damage. The last orc growls back at Lylas and cleaves his axe down upon the wolves right hip, inflicting 7 points of damage.

I'm going to wait to see what everyone else does before I send Bilken over to attack the Orcs. Otherwise he'll ready an action to trip any Orc that comes toward him. I'll make the appropriate roll when needed. <.<

Hammertouch - Goliath Barbarian

((OOC: I was waiting for Ash to post in this round but I am not sure whether she acted so in hte interests of not holding up based on me...))

Hammertouch woken by Ash roars a deep warcry and charges the orcs in the space left by Saevanna and Lylas moving. He swings his mighty hammer in a wild arc attempting to blast the sneaky orcs.

Also please post in Initiative order Also please when you move, put the square you will be ending in. so that way i can track movement better. with out having to do calculations. but calculations of movements is really nice when dealing with AoO]

Saevanna and Lylas both go and wake up Bilken and Telari Respectively. Garret rouses himself awake at the sounds of battle (sorry, i will remember the ring)

Taking the advantage Hammertouch charges the orc that Saevanna just left. Brining his hammer down upon him with extreme force, Almost knocking the orc back on his ass. Barely able to maintain his balance, the orc counter attacks back at Hammertouch widely missing. The second orc taking advantage of Hammertouch's focus on the first, connect with his greataxe, cleaving into the goliath's leg for 9 points of damage. The orc that was attacking the wolf also takes advantage of the goliath's focus elsewhere attacks him, but isn't able to do anything look incompetant.

The remaining two orcs continue to attack the cleric that they have been focusing on. The first one isn't able to connect as he misjudges the rock and almost his his elbow on it. The second one tho is able to connect rather easily. Hitting Mor'iasti with his axe, almost slicing his armor clean off his body, he hits Mor'iasti for 11 points of damage.



Rabbit your up.

Mor'iasti Tan-ormen, Cleric of Mystra and chronic daydreamer

Mor' scrambled upright, almost tripping on the small rock he'd been using for a chair. "Mystra help us!," he cried, his voice a full octave higher than normal. The vicious slash of the orc's weapon did not improve Mor's mood, and he stuttered in agitation. Taking a deep breath, Mor' called on the power of his Lady, and begged her to Bless them in this encounter. He could only hope that the sudden appearance of more allies behind the orcs would distract the enemy long enough for his spell to work.

Andreas Melot - Hellbred Spellthief

Andreas' eyes dart to the approaching threat. He notices the cleric being cut up and quickly moves into action. He moves as the hunter, driven with purpose and a thirst for blood, eyes cold, devoid of emotion. Appearing next to the frightened cleric he brings his light mace down upon one of the orcs muttering... "Get behind me."

Seeing the two dogs appear behind them, does seem to suprise the orc, but more so from a combat point of view. We...Eat...Dog...When...You...Dead. Unfortunately for the dogs, neither of them is able to break past the armor on the orcs. As the orcs look back at the dogs that poofed in, Mor'iasti attempts to take advantage of this opportunity to cast a blessing of Mystra on all his new allies. Just as he is about to finish his spell, one of the orcs spots this. Motioning to his friend, they both take up there axes in an attempt to interupt. The Vigilant orc is the only one able to connect with his axe. Bringing his axe down on Mor'iasti he deals 7 more points of damage.

Seeing the cleric take another nasty blow Andreas get's a worried look on his face, and charges over to protect him. Unfortunately for him, he isn't able to connect on the orc he swings at, his weapon glancing off the orcs armor. Bilken getting a big grin on his face as combat hsa finally shown itself to him, moves up in support. With his big spiked chain he attemps to trip one of the orcs. Things just are going in the way of the group, as the orc outright resists the trip attempt. Maybe Bilken still was half asleep. Seeing the opening next to Andreas, Garret darts in and catches the orc by suprise. Connecting on the orc for 8 points of damage, the orc let's out a growl, and focuses his glare at Garret. It appears that a large gust of wind would knock this orc over at this point.

Ash Mythseeker - Whisper Gnome Archivist

Ash dashes across the campsite, tugging forth a simple, white wand from her belt as she does, a look for fear and grim determination on her face. Remembering the state of the caravan crew they had passed yesterday, she was suddenly struck with a fear of the Orc's savageness.

Seeing the situation the group is in, Saevanna heads north and takes up position in the bushes, calling Lylas to her side. While there she decides that she needs the Leaflords blessings and uses the power of her deity to help heal her wounds.

Ash jumping into the fight now that she sees everything that's going on, get's a look of terror and rememberance on her face. Remembering the brutality she saw at the caravan she get's ready for anything, charging forward and drawing a wand, she readies herself and prepares for her next move.

Hammertouch get's a large smirk on his face as he brings down his large hammer on the beaten orc infront of him. Smashing the orcs bones beneath the hammer, he takes the opportunity to bring his hammer up and nail the orc next to him in the jaw. With the force of the hammer that orc is flung into the air and lands on the ground where he once stood, no longer conscious. (cleave 2 if you have great cleave).

The orcs seeing what just happened no longer look as confident, but they turn there focus to the big threat now, Focusing on Hammertouch the first one is able to bring his greataxe down with such force it staggers Hammertouch for a second or so. The problem is that although he hit with alot of force he didn't have much to back it up, only 6 damage. The one that was attacking the cleric, turns his attention to the rather large goliath. Stepping over his friends he is thrown partially off balance and isn't able to connect with his weapon. The last orc still focused on the cleric takes a step forward to attack him again, unfortunately for Mor'iasti this orc is rather skilled and is able to connect again, dealing 9 points of damage.



on the picture, technically Mor'iasti and the orc on him, are down 1 square each, per post in OOC.
