Markis figures that it would just be a waste to use one of his few spells on these orcs. They are going down fast under his companions blades. So he uses his wand again to send a ball of white fire flying at one of the orcs.

End of combat

The guards arrive just as the fight ends. They quickly organize a bucket brigade with a few remaining civilians and a nearby well and have the fire out within a few minutes.

As you catch your breath you have a chance to take a good look at the attackers. Though there is a resemblance, these are definitely not orcs. They are taller and more muscular, but more importantly, all seem to have sightless eyes!

Aftermath

So that rapier is looking pretty good! I think Daphne took out 3 of the 5 single handedly.

No treasure here. History thread is being updated with XP. Markis didn't use that last charge either.

A few more guards arrive, some speak to you and are satisfied you saved the day. One mentions it would have been a massacre had you not been there. Its your call what to do or where to go from here.

"Anyone know what these are? Did they come out of the ground?" Daphne asks, returning the boar to a ball of fluff in her pouch. She struts around, looking approvingly at the neat holes she has made in the corpses.

"Told you to use the rapier," she sniffs to Burin and then goes over to examine how the creatures arrived at the stage.


OOC: Not quite single-handed. Markis did 2 points of damage to one of them.

Arzag looks at Daphne and then at the dead creatures. He shakes his head, unable to understand how that annoying halfling managed to take down more of the creatures than anyone else (particularly the dwarves).

Wiping off his axe, he asks the leader of the guard, "We're here to help with those bloody scenes. Lt. Shella sent us. Anything you can tell us? Is there one near here?"

Daphne - give me a spot check.

Burin chuckles as he cleans his axe. "Pretty bloody here."

Daphne looks around.
