They shifted course and beelined towards the fools who would think that they could stand up to orcs, whose swords were hard iron and "swords" were even harder!<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Surprise round</div><div class="spoiler_body">Clive misses with 12 to hit.<br/></div></div><br/>A sudden red blur dashing out from the bushes surprised the orcs. The nearest orc's eyes widened as Clive's blade swept out towards his chest - but his fear turned to his kind's evil laughter as the blow deflected off the leather of his armour futilely, in a stroke of luck for the orc (and an unlucky stroke for the red-clad elan).<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Initiative</div><div class="spoiler_body">Clive: 10 (success with dex mod)<br/>Nyssa: 15<br/><br/>Orcs: 10<br/><br/>Baeloth: 3<br/>Elotin: 8<br/></div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Clive's and Nyssa's actions</div><div class="spoiler_body">Clive: unknown action skipped (not your fault, you'll get it back soon)<br/>Nyssa: -4 penalty for shooting into melee, still hits Orc 1 for 1 fire damage.<br/></div></div><br/>Nyssa followed up on Clive's opening move with a stream of fire from her finger. At least it hit the orc square in the chest, which was more than could be said for Clive's attempt, but it did little more than that as the leather smouldered from the flames only to be patted out immediately by the orc's thick hand. He glared at the ifrit sorceress with mixed lust and anger.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Orcs' actions</div><div class="spoiler_body">Orc 1 attacks Clive, misses<br/>Orc 2 moves adjacent to Nyssa and attacks for 7 damage.<br/>Orc 3 moves adjacent to Kulla and attacks, misses<br/>Orc 4 moves adjacent to Elotin and attacks, misses<br/></div></div><br/>The orcs split up, each going for its own target, guided by its loins. All except the one that Clive was already attacking, who looked as though it would much rather go after Nyssa, but found itself being cockblocked by this puny red annoying adventurer. "Die, weakling!" It shouted as it swung its falchion at him angrily. In its rage, its blow wasn't as accurate as it could be, and went wide.<br/><br/>So it was that another orc got to go after Nyssa, his gaze drawn more to her breasts than the member hanging between her legs. His own falchion struck true, tearing through her clothing, and he licked his lips, already imagining pushing this exotic piece of fuckmeat down to the ground and having his way with her.<br/><br/>The other two orcs went after Kulla and Elotin, but fortunately neither of the orcs had the skill to land a blow.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Baeloth's and Elotin's actions</div><div class="spoiler_body">Baeloth misses.<br/>Kulla hits Orc 3 with 1 claw and bite for 12 damage total.<br/>Elotin takes a five foot step to flank Orc 3 and hits for 4 damage.<br/></div></div><br/>Baeloth's crossbolt went so far wide he might as well have shot it in the opposite direction, leaving it up to Kulla to make up for her... companion's momentary uselessness. And make it up she did with tooth and claw, tearing with such savagery into the orc that dared attack her that he was left mortally wounded. But this was an orc, and until he was actually dead and gone he would remain standing until the end! Even after Elotin added insult to injury with a prick to the armpit from behind!<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Status and next round</div><div class="spoiler_body">Orc 1: 5 hp, threatening Clive<br/>Orc 2: 6 hp, threatening Nyssa<br/>Orc 3: -10 hp, staggered, threatening Kulla and Elotin<br/>Orc 4: 6 hp<br/><br/><strong>Clive</strong> has two (2) rounds of actions to take (one for the round skipped previously, and one for the coming round)<br/><br/><strong>Nyssa</strong> has one (1) round of actions to take.<br/><br/>Then it will be the Orcs' turn again.<br/></div></div>
