Wyvern Tor Team #5: Victor, Vane, Kessife, Nemeia
OOC: I've been working on this post for about an hour now... Unfortunately, I have to go out now and can't finish it, so I'll have to finish it later tonight.
In the Treasure Room, Biff head butted Orc #1 and stunned him. He then tried to attack Orc #2 but missed. Still tied up, it wasn't until Ulrik dropped a dagger into Biff's hand that he was able to cut himself loose. He immediately moved to attack the Orc Chief. The Orc Chief is already in combat with Ulrik and Manaen. Biff makes an unarmed attack against the Orc Chief with the intent of grappling him. He might have been successful if the Chief wasn't already in combat. Instead, his attack just misses.
Out in the Weapons Room, Kessife had taken a misty step to get behind the Orc that Nemeia was fighting. She had no chance to attack now, but simply called out to the Orc to distract it. Whether or not it had any effect, she couldn't be sure, but Nemeia attacked the Orc again and hit it!
Not fully understanding the nature of Lureene's spell, the two uninjured Orcs still within the spell's effect continue to attack, while the other two back away... or they would if there was anywhere for them to go. The best they can do is move into the corner. Orc #4, the one that hit Lureene, takes a bit more damage this round from the spell, and her mace attack finishes him off.
Manaen attacked the Orc in the back left of the room, the one that was stunned by Biff's head butt. His shadow-blade attack hits the Orc and kills it. Unfortunately, that brought the Orc Chief's attention, and the Chief attack and hit Manaen. As Ulrik and then Biff moved up to attack the Chief, Manaen also attacks him... but misses.
Back out in the Weapons Room, Nemeia's challenge had prompted the Orc #10 to leave his place of partial concealment and charge her. She'd hit him for some minor damage, he swung back and missed, she swung again and missed, and the Orc also swung back and hit her. That was when her Hellish Rebuke came into play. It wasn't enough to kill it, though, so she attacked with her longsword. This time she hit, and killed the Orc.
After dashing into the Weapons Room and seeing Victor in battle with an Orc, Nyssia fired her hand crossbow at the Orc and hit him. She then ran after Ulrik into the Treasure Room. Having dashed into the room, she nearly missed the Orcs that lying in wait just inside the opening. Catching sight of them at the last minute, she turned and cast Dissonant Whisper at Orc #6. It wasn't enough to kill him.
02:27, Today: StarMaster rolled 20,4,10,1,10,2 using 1d20,1d4,1d20,1d4,1d20,1d4 ((20,4,10,1,10,2)).
Orc #6 attacked back and hit her as a response to Lureene's spell. Nyssia then started a whispering song, Bane, targeting Orcs #6, #7 and #8. Whether she was aware of Lureene's spell still being in play or not, she left herself open to Orc #6's attack. As soon as he started it, though, Lureene's Spirit Guardians spell took affect and the damage it dealt to the Orc was enough to kill it.
Star of the Morning had attacked the Orc in the back right of the room. Ulrik had got there first because she was teleported in after he broke the talisman on the table. Her first attack finishes it off. She then turns her attention elsewhere... to Orc #8 in the front corner, moving forward to melee range. Her two attacks don't quite finish it off, but he's hurting. He attacks back, but misses.
Ulrik had charged into the room, knocked over a little display table in the middle causing the talisman on it to fall to the floor and break, and then attack the Orc in the back right of the room. His first attack didn't kill it, but Star's attack did kill it. He then turned his attention to the Orc Chief and rushed to Manaen's aid. Ulrik's attack hits and does significant damage, though not enough to kill the Chief.
Back out in the Weapons Room, Vane cast a spell at the Orc who was attacking Victor, and managed to do 3 points of damage and put the Orc at a disadvantage. He then tried to move around the melee to get into a better position to attack the Orc from the flank... if he needed to.
Also back out in the Weapons Room, Orc #9 was prompted to charge after his comrade, Orc #10, and attack Victor. He missed. Victor attacked back and missed. The Orc attacked again and also missed.
Victor tried once more with a double attack, but both miss. Due to Vane's spell, the Orc is at a disadvantage and misses when he attacks back.
=================================================================================
At the end of the round, Orc #10 out in the Weapons Room is dead, but #9 is still doing a battle dance with Victor. #10 is pretty much surrounded by Victor, Vane, Nemeia, and Kessife.
In the Treasure Room, Orcs #1, #2, #5 and #6 are dead.
The Orc Chief is being attacked by Biff, Manaen and Ulrik.
Orcs #3 and #4 are in the front left corner avoiding Lureene's spell. #3 hasn't been touched yet.
Orcs #7 and #8 are in the front right corner avoiding Lureene's spell, though Star of the Morning is attacking #8.
It's now clear that the Orcs are fighting a bit harder to impress their Chief.
