The Stone Tooth

[Chaz Hoosier]

In the instant after Sugrin blasts the orcs with his color spray spell, Christo steps forward and casts another spell. The orc seems stunned for a moment! The trio is suddenly engulfed by a swarm of rats that nibble their flesh. Daurant deals the robed orc a grievous wound. "How DARE you strike me!" The orc shifts away and begins to cast a spell on Daurant. His blood runs cold and the hairs on his neck stand up at her fury! The standing orc swings his weapon at Daurant, though he's shaking like a leaf in terror and he misses!

[RedRajah]

An enemy spellcaster. Urd's eyes narrowed in a steely gaze as she entered into the chamber and let an arrow fly towards the so-called "shaman". She hoped Daurant could endure whatever evil she had in store (not to mention those rats) while the rest of them finished her and her bodyguards off.

Dumathoin, guide my arrow!

Moved 10ft to activate Skirmish (made move on Roll20). Is not near the rats. ;)

QUICK STATS:  AC=19, Touch=14, FF=17 / HP=19/19 / Init=2 / Saves: Fort=4, Reflex=5, Will = 6  _____________________________________________________________________________

After casting his only helpful spell moments ago ableit with only limited success, Brother Vanleaf moves forward into the room toward the Orcs with his bow already in hand.

Drawing his bow string taunt, the Elven holy man launches a razor-sharp arrow at the Orc Witch from point blank range in an effort to interrupt her machinations.

The evil shaman's enrage screeching is cut short when Urd plants a bolt right between her eyes. She's dead before she even hits the ground! Christo's arrow misses the lone standing orc.

Daurant, Holy Warrior of Moradin

Shaking off the rather sickening scent and sight of the filthy rats but still somewhat shaken, Daurant ignores the now fallen witch and turns on the orc beside him, laying into him with righteous fury, even if somewhat diminished, with both his axes even as he stand tall upon his fellow orc's dying body.

"Ere, ave a slice, or two!"

Gerbimble's blast takes down the last standing orc. The shamaness is dead and her body guards are quickly bleeding out.

Daurant, Holy Warrior of Moradin

Calming as he sees the fallen orcs, Daurant cleans off his axe on the orc witch's robes and then looks about the room, noting if there are any other exits or obvious items of interest.

"Better search this place for any clue to what else we might expect and then keep moving ta try and keep surprising the tuskers."

Even though Brother Vanleaf was relieved and grateful to the gods that the battle was both successful and quick, however the Elven holy man had a strange feeling when the massive warriors and presumably a powerful Shaman were dispatched so easily.

Moving to gather his arrow that missed the target, Christo pauses next to Sugrin and whispers, "Seemed kind of almost too easy? I'm not sure that anything is even amiss, but it sure feels 'off' in some way. Are you sensing anything or any nearby earth movements?"

Once the arrow is retrieved and stowed in his quiver, the minister will help to search the room for valuables and secrets, while also keeping one eye and his ears focused on the surrounding area watching and listening for the sight or sound of movement or anything unusual nearby.

Urd's grimace never wavered. Not even when the shaman crumpled to the floor like a puppet without its strings. "Maybe all these scum were used to was attackin' merchants and farmers. If they allowed themselves to be led by an ogre, strategic thinkin' might not be in their wheelhouse."

But they had also been fighting smart in their own right. Finding that secret passage to the archers' nest had been a godsend. And closing the chimney, drawing another patrol outside from earlier, had been key. For their numbers, these orcs really hadn't been well organized.

Still, Urd kept her senses up on high alert. Vanleaf's concerns were valid. And this was only the first level of the fortress...

Sugrin brandishes his wand with a flourish, but before he so much as speaks the command word, the angry female takes a blast of magic energy that finishes her, while the other orcs lay unconscious, dying. As he relaxes with a gleeful laugh, Christo whispers something to him that compels him to refocus. He slowly works his way around the room while the others conduct a search, using his Earth Sense to detect any potential hidden foes.

Gerbimble sighs in relief as they manage to win the skirmish without a scratch. "They must have had some business being back here. Perhaps there are other secret exits from this room?"

 

[Chaz Hoosier]

The only other exit the gang can find is the door on the north side of the room. It's locked, though the key is in the lock. They can sense no one else nearby.

Edited May 10 by Chaz Hoosier (see edit history)

[Terran]

Brother Christo draws his bow, nocks an arrow and stands back while those more qualified investigate the door for tricks and traps while the Elven priest provides them with cover fire, should such become necessary.

[Sorithar]

  

Daurant, Holy Warrior of Moradin

Tucking away one of the retrieved flasks of alchemist's fire, Daurant moves to the door and as soon as he receives a nod from Urd, the hefts one of his axes and turns the key to open the door. He then looks beyond it and assuming no obvious danger, steps into the space beyond to look around.
