OOC: How high is the ledge?

20 ft. And now that you are looking you notice a rope leading up. CLimb DC 5.

Yeamon spins instinctively as the javelin appears before him, managing to take the blow on his side, rather than it piercing any of his vitals. Still the weapon opens a nasty wound in his flesh, and his grimmaces with pain.

Pulling the weapon out, Yeamon dashes forward toward the origin point of the missiles, zig zagging trying to take advantage of the cover offered by the rising stumps of the stalagmites.

Taking a grip of the rope and hoping the ledge occupants have their sight on the rest of the group Amras quickly climbs to the top of the ledge hoping to stop the alarm being sounded.

Daven  quickly get the javalin out of him and fire back a bolt from his crossbow. He aims for the one with the great club, but the wound has taken him a little bit out of the game.

Amras:

You get to the top just as the orc is about to move off. He takes a swing at you before moving to the gong. (AOO)

Madras: Casts bless (Each ally gains a +1 morale bonus on attack rolls and on saving throws against fear effects.)

Lynx: Starts singing (Inspire Courage: +1 attack and damage, and saving vs fear and charm effects)

Yeamon:

The ledge is at the top of the cavern that has the stalagmites. With a double move you can probably make it to the top.

Daven

Your shot goes wide.


Yeamon, I will wait to see where you move with your actions before having the enemy act. Once that happens I'll wrap up the round and you guys get to go again.

Seeing that he has a chance to make it to the ledge, Yeamon charges all out in a sprint to the rope, launching himself onto it and hauling himself up onto the ledge with all his strength.

Daven lets anoher bolt fly from his crossbow. This time his aim is a lot better, but there was always something getting in the way some way or another. He listens for enemys that has heared the battle. He is ready for a quick escape.

Amras climbs to the top of the rope in good time. He easily avoids a blow from the cudgel weilding orc who turns to run towards the gong. As he moves off however, an arrow comes out of nowhere hitting him in the back and taking him to the floor. Meanwhile Yeamon gets to the top of the rope just in time to see the other five orcs advancing on Amras. Three of the creatures attack Amras while two attack yeamon. Two orcs manage to get past Amras defences both hitting the ranger with solid blows. Only one Orc manages to hit Yeamon, but the javelin hits the monk in the side of the neck Yeamon barely throwing his head to the side in time to avoid death.

Amras: 12 Damage
Yeamon: 10 Damage

Party positions:
Yeamon & Amras on the ledge facing down the hordes

Lynx, Madras & Daven: Ground floor

The party is up again

Blood spurts forth from a grevious wound in the monk's neck. Just an inch to the left would have severed his jugular vein.

Fighting to stay on his feet he launches into a flurry of punches at the last orc to hit him, but blood loss is already causing his vision to blurr, and his blows only strike the air before him.

He lets out a piercing scream as he attempts to use a stunning fist attack, but it is wasted as his blow fails to connect.

19:30, Today: Yeamon rolled 5 using 1d20+2. attack.
19:30, Today: Yeamon rolled 7 using 1d20+2. attack.
OOC: Oh dear!

Daven swings his way up ontop of the stalgamiti trying as hard as he can to aid his friends. He droppes his crossbow as sone as he gets up to the others.

OCC: +1 to strike and weapon damage guys.

Seeing his comrades in peril; Madras calls on Lathander to aid them. He grips his Sun amulet tightly in one hand, pointing it in there direction and incants a spell. A glowing mace made of pure force springs into existence beside Yeoman and attacks an Orc...

Madras incants while holding his amulet and a glowing mace springs into being to aid yeoman.

Yeoman lets out a piercing scream as he attempts to launch a flurry of punches at the last orc to hit him. His aim is off though and the Orc easily dodges the blows. The ugly creature smiles smugly as the man wavers while he tries to stay conscious. He slashes at the monk, who instinctively ducks below the blow...

Amras decapitates one orc with a slash of his long sword and stabs another in its gut with his shorts word With a slash. That poor bastard falls to the ground in a pool of his own blood.

Daven climbs up the rope ladder and takes in the scene before him; Yeoman is hard pressed, the Orc is likely to kill him if he doesn’t get help soon. Amras is holding his own, with two dead Orcs at his feet and facing off with another. A glowing mace swings itself at an Orc that was facing yeoman, keeping it occupied for the time

The Orcs miss all the PC's this round.

Lynx continues his song...

2 orcs left! Party is up.

Daven trys to feint the orc that he can reach and hit a sweat spot and hopefully bring down the orc ones and for all.

Seeing the first two orcs fall Amras hurriedly attacks the remaining one in front of him. Slashing wildly the longsword misses his opponent. Taking a breath he stabs at the orc with his shortsword.



23:29, Today: Amras Telperien rolled 11 using 1d20+10. Longsword attack.
23:29, Today: Amras Telperien rolled 19 using 1d20+9. Shortsword.
23:29, Today: Amras Telperien rolled 5 using 1d6+4. shortsword damage.

Without thinking Yeamon continues to press forward, in a combination of ducking and weaving motions. His first punch narrowly slides past the orcs head, but the following uppercut drives dangerously toward the monster's throat.

OOC: not sure if this is a hit or not.
23:17, Today: Yeamon rolled 9 using 1d20+4. attack 1 .
23:17, Today: Yeamon rolled 16 using 1d20+4. attack 2.
23:18, Today: Yeamon rolled 8 using 1d6+2. damage.

Daven kills one orc with a well placed thrust and before that one has hit the floor Amras and Yeamon finish off the remaining orc with a combination of cuts and punches. As the trio atop the ledge pause to catch their breath Lynx on the lookout for more enemies sees a light approaching from the passage that you all just exited. Signalling to Madras the two join the others atop the ledge as a group of men head into the cavern and out the next side.

Spot checks everyone.

Relieved to see the remaining orcs drop Amras cleans the swords on one of the bodies before watching the light approach.

Daven trys to get a look at the enemys that might come there way. The apsence of the pit trap would be hard to miss. He takes his crossbow and readys it. He take careful aim towords the light.

Yeamon drops to his knees and hurriedly locates his remaining healing potion. Fighting the pain of the wound in his neck, his thoughts are on downing the draught before they are set upon again.

14:58, Today: Yeamon rolled 7 using 1d20+2. spot.

[13:40, Today: Madras rolled 15 using 1d20+3. Spot check.]

With the threat ended, Madras climbs up to check on those at the top, seeing if his aid is needed in mending life-threatening wounds.

[OOC: Anyone need some immediate healing?]

With shaking hands the monk unstoppers the vial and makes to drink the potion, but his quivering upends the bottle before it meets his lips and most of the liquid splashes on the ledge floor and down his habit, making a dark wet patch on the cloth. Only a few drops make it past his lips.

He holds his hand up to Madras as the cleric appears and offers his magical healing aid.

21:44, Today: Yeamon rolled 3 using 1d8+1. CLW potion hp.
That's a yeah Madras!
