I am Guthfrith Birger. And for now, that's all I care to remember. Some wounds never scar properly... I should know.

Guthfrith begins walking again.

Roy glances at Vargon before heading off after Guthfrith.
My name is Roy, by the way. I've lived around Winterhaven most of my life...exceot for a few years... Roy trails off, not wishing to divulge much to this man who is basically just a stranger.

The three heroes, mismatched though they may be, stride forth towards the forest where the Orcs have set up camp. None cared to share their history, but each shared a common cause with the other. It was to be their first stride towards a safer world for the town in which they stood.

Two more waited at the inn, unconcerned with the more noble applications of their contemporaries. For them, glory nor safety nor good marked a change in their countenance, but profit and reward. Perhaps they could find returns worthy of their beings. Perhaps.

Crashing through the woods towards the party came a small party of orcs, a scouting party sent to examine the village, before it was assaulted once more by the vile creatures. Spotting the party as they stepped forth into the trees, the two sides prepared themselves for battle.

The three orcs charge, each pulling a heavy sword from their belt as they bear down on the unsuspecting party. All three focus their attacks on Roy, but he is successfully able to parry two of their blades, knocking them down and away. The third finds a mark, lashing across his shoulder and chest and leaving a red, flayed flap of skin hanging down. Smiling, the orcs press forward.

Roy

Guthfrith

Orc Attacks: 1d20+6=8, 1d20+6=22, 1d20+6=8

[spoiler]Orc goes down: Trip Counter (1d20+3=11)

3 damage, heal 2.

And I really need to rewrite that ability name. Sucking attack sounds... awful.

Also, that is a total mess of rolls :P[/spoiler]

Shaedof takes a few steps back to not get hit by a swinging club or a ferocious orc.

Then draws out its crossbow, aims and takes a shot at one of the orcs

Guthfrith steps forward slightly and pulls his razorblade out quickly, then drags it over his arm, creating yet another crimson slash.* The blood that wells up slides down to his fingers, at which point he flings it towards the standing, undamaged Orc.

Sadly, he missed entirely.

Roy utters a feral scream as he hooks his club's fangs under the legs of one of the orcs. His tripping attack succeeds, knocking his foe to the floor and following up with a quick strike that gashes the beast across the leg. The success of his attack gives him fresh strength, staring down the other two and letting them know that he is stronger than they thought.

Shaedof takes a few steps back to not get hit by the swinging club of a ferocious orc, and launches an arrow at the left-most creature. The arrow strikes cleanly, burying itself between the ribs and causing grievous harm. The orc wavers, but stays on his feet.

Guthfrith steps forward slightly and pulls his razorblade out quickly, then drags it over his arm, creating yet another crimson slash. The blood that wells up slides down to his fingers, at which point he flings it towards the standing, undamaged Orc, but his attack is misguided, and slips to the side.

The orcs press in around Roy, slashing with their weapons as they cut at his limbs. One strikes home, but he is able to fend off two other attacks, and even get in a quick strike against the creature he had tripped last round.


[spoiler]Players, Round #1:
Roy: Trip for 3 damage, 2 heal.
Mini: Damage 4.
Guthfrith: Failed Ritual Touch Attack.

Damage: 8 to Roy (healed 2), 3 to Orc #1, 4 to Orc #2, 2 to Gutfroth.

Order for Round #2:
Orcs: 1d20+4=15, 1d20+4=9, 1d20+4=8. Orc Damage: 2d4+4=7. Roy is getting it very painfully.

The third orc stands up before attacking, generating an AoO from Roy.[/spoiler]

Roy slams his club into the orc's face as it tries to rise.
[spoiler]Roy takes his AoO:
1d20+3, 1d8+2=[20, 3], [8, 2]
Crit confirm and damage (1d20+3, 1d8+2=[13, 3], [8, 2])

If it's dead (seems likely...) Roy will move onto the Orc#3.
trip touch, trip str, IT attack, IT damage (1d20+5, 1d20+2, 1d20+3, 1d8+2=[3, 5], [7, 2], [11, 3], [8, 2])
and whiffs...

Shaedof shoot another arrow at one of the boodied orcs, but misses completely.

He takes up a position within range of his crossbow, but with a clear path to run away; these orcs are tough as hell!

Guthfrith tries again against the undamaged Orc.

And misses again.

Roy smashes the orc into the ground as it tries to rise, killing it instantly. Turning his attention to another of the foul beasts, he swings. Overswinging, his weapon skitters past the orc, leaving it unharmed.

Shaedof shoot another arrow at one of the boodied orcs, but misses completely, his bolt buried in a tree past the orc. He shifts again, taking up a position within range of his crossbow, but with a clear path to run away; these orcs are tough as hell!

Guthfrith gashes his arm again, pointing it at that same orc. Sadly, his aim is as poor as it was before, and the magical essence misses.

Each orc dances in, their falchions gashing at Roy, but neither appears skilled with their weapon, and each tangles the other, fouling their attacks.


[spoiler]Players, Round #2:
Roy: AoO: Kill. Trip: Miss.
Mini: Arrow: Miss.
Guthfrith: Affliction: Miss.

Damage: Killed Orc #1, 2 to Guthfrith. Orc #2 4 damage from round #1.

Order for Round #2:
Orcs: 1d20+4=5, 1d20+4=8. The Orcs decided to suck it this round.[/spoiler]

Panting slightly, and feeling a touch desperate, Roy places his shield hand on the haft of his club before sweeping it under the legs of the undamaged orc.
