Nalin had been ready for the large orc since they had first heard it stomping it's way through the corridors ahead of them. However he underestimated it's speed and agility in these tighter quarters. The veteran dwarf was surprised in how quickly the large orc closed the distance between them. The orc's club was already raising to attack Analise as the end of Nalin's longhammer came rushing towards it's face in a bashing stabbing thrust.<strong>"Sorry lass"</strong>was yelled out.<br/><br/>Eyes glanced to his side quickly to ensure that Analise was okay, relieved and impressed that the paladin was able to so quickly recover from the hit. Healing herself as though it was a simple inconvenience before rushing to attack the orc. In another instant his attention was once again fully focused upon the large orc to witness two arrows striking it before the cleric's spear found it's thick hide.<br/><br/>That second attack from the longhammer came after the greenskin fell victim to the pit trap. Heavy steel was once again rushing towards the creature's face in a stabbing thrust. The veteran warrior was used to fighting in tighter quarters with his longhammer, while he prefers to have enough room to deal full arching swings, this is a simple situation for him to adapt to.<strong>"Ta scared ta attack a dwarf?"</strong><br/><br/>He was just about to make his third attack when the creature had slammed it's head into the ceiling and caused the release of green slime that thankfully missed the party. However the spraying blood and bleghm from the greenskin's mouth proceeded to covered not only his hammer, his armor but also his beard. His third hammer strike would join Analise's as the paladin rushed forward to accompany him in administering the final blow.<br/><br/>He navigated around the greenskin as the others collected their arrows, as always seeking to put himself inbetween any threats coming for the party. He had already began moving up the hallway as quietly as he could in his heavy plate when Elise suggested they continue exploring. As soon as that shout was heard, he was running toward the direction in which Tha'ael had disappeared with a loud<strong>"Over here ya green skinned scum!"</strong>Attempting to draw any of the creatures' attention to himself rather than the scouting elf.
