Bianca Pohlo

Her reverie interrupted by Dihada's alert, Bianca immediately halts in a sudden panic.

"What? Where?" she asks, looking around fearfully. "Th-- this close to Sandpoint? Surely not!"

 

[pdwalt]

"Orcs, not goblins?" Lars wonders aloud softly, near Bianca - breaking stealth.   OOC Specifics Total initiative is 6 .

Combat — Surprise Round

Initiative Order

PCs: Average (A 19, D 17, B 17, N 15, L 2) = 14

Orcs: 2

 

The arrow flew from Darhana’s bow, whistling in the wind before piercing into the orc’s chest, knocking him back a few feet before he collapses on the ground.

 

The other two orcs looked at one another, then one roared something in Orc, “Ek tak!””Get them!”

Hefting a greataxe, he leaps out from the bushes he was hiding behind, and charges across the road swinging at Darhana, the viciously large blade just barely glancing off the studs of her armour as she shifted skillfully back just barely out of reach. Still, the impact of the excessively heavy axe may still prove to leave some bruises in days to come.

 

The other orc winds back with a rather intimidating looking javelin in his hand, and launched it forward as though under recoil. But that flew wildly off its intended mark, missing the group overhead by several feet.

"Here," Darhana shouted at Azura as she took a step back before shooting another arrow at the orc in front of her.

Sister Azura

"There!" Azura says in agreement with Darhana, spotting an orc in the bushes. Her tail reaches into her pack and grabs a javelin, holding it at the ready in case she needs to throw it. Meanwhile, the tiefling charges the as of yet unmolested orc, Odachi in hand.

Kaichar

The red-skinned tiefling is slow to respond to the sudden violence, seemingly enjoying the day out of doors. All too soon, the orcs that appeared are felled by the expert prowess of his companions. "Huh. You hunt well." He compliments the trio. "Shalelu would be impressed."

"At least three less to annoy honest folk," Darhana said as she checked the two she had shot to get her arrows back if they were still usable and also for other useful things while she was checking.  Any items she would let Bianca or Kaichar check for magic.

Combat — Round 1

Initiative Order

PCs: Average (A 19, D 17, B 17, N 15, L 2) = 14

Orcs: 2

 

With Neskaa keeping watch and providing a clear path, the others go to town with the remaining orcs.

 

Clearly communicating their intentions and splitting the enemies between them, Darhana launches another arrow into the orc with the greataxe, the projectile piercing him point blank right through the left calf.

 

Designating her target verbally, Azura charged into the bushes, the large blade hefted over her head as she brings it slashing down on a diagonal over the javelin-throwing orc, the cut catching him in the face where he had no protection afforded by any of the armour he wore.

 

In the fray, Lars’s shot went wide, landing unthreateningly in the bush.

Neskas pulls Snappy to a stop and looks around. "Well, that was anti-climactic. Good show all. I'm not used to having so little to do when attacked." He calmly moves back into position at the rear of the group.

Sister Azura

Azura looks surprised at how quickly the orcs drop. She looks down at its body, then up at her sword, and looks queasy for a second. The tiefling takes a breath to settle her nerves and cleans the blood from her blade. "Piece of cake," she says, with false bravado. "I wonder what they were doing so close to Sandpoint?"

Bianca Pohlo

"Oh my gosh!" Bianca exclaims. She's not sure what's more surprising - an attack by orcs, right outside town, or how quickly her new friends dispatched them. "Y-- you killed them! Are-- are there any more of them?"

Briefly, she does wonder exactly what kind of people she's fallen in with, here. But then again, if there is some kind of wild animal or monster at the Pyre, at least this lot ought to be able to take care of it. A half-starved wolf or lone ghoul would be no match at all!

[iantruesilver]

A quick search through the bodies of the orcs, yields a greataxe, three suits of studded leather armour, and seven javelins in total.

 

Darhana’s two arrows do not look salvageable. Lars’s javelin looks like it is still intact however, thanks to the bush it landed in. The one the orc threw seems to be similarly undamaged.
