Another low growl issues forth from the darkness, but you can still see nothing.
"You think I'm talking about breaking the rules?"
"No I'm just trying to figure out how far you want them bent."

Dalanath's psicrystal slowly skitters in the direction of the growl, seeing if it can spot whatever is making the noise.

Danus turns in the direction of the growl, raising his shield as he moves into a defensive stance, his right hand hovering over his heavy mace's hilt.
I hear it's amazing when the famous purple stuffed worm in flap-jaw space with the tuning fork does a raw blink on Hara-Kiri rock! I need scissors! 61!

Galon grins slightly as he raises his spines, twitching with excitement.
"Oooh! I wonder what we're up against!"
there is roughly a 99% chance that this post is an obscure reference to SOMETHING.

The psicrystal pauses at the doorway for a moment but skitters on past, it noticed an open door and the body of an orc.

Frank will move quickly to get closer to the psicrystal. He is the tank and doesn't want the cleric leading the way.

In the far corner, Frank can see three orcs huddled together on the floor. One is staring menacingly at him, which lets out a small growl.

Frank will move into a stand-off position (right 2 up 1 from his current location) and ready his action to attack any Orc that enters his threat range.

The orcs shift a bit, without a word, but remain near the corner, seeming wary of the dwarf.

Danus 15
Dalanath 11
Chauser 10
Terek 9
Galon 9
Frank 3
Orcs ?

Danus moves forward 40 feet, his shield still held in a readied position while his right hand continues to hover over the hilt of his heavy mace. Noticing their hesitation to level the corner.

"We do not mean you any harm, but should you attempt anything, we will defend ourselves, without hesitation. Please state your intentions" was said to the three orcs.

[spoiler]Double move straight forward 40ft, free action to speak[/spoiler]

Chauser gets a deep, but low volume laugh from the darkness for his troubles.

[spoiler]Minor detail, you can't actually see the orcs unless you have darkvision, which even from where you said you moved, is still to short. Basically your sphere of sight is 20ft in each direction of Chauser. But this doesn't mean the basics of your post can't be used.

Another note, unless something major or confusing happens, the map is getting updated once a round, most likely towards the top of the order or during the last enemies' turn.[/spoiler]

In horribly spoken common, one of the orcs speaks up, "Death." By his tone you can't tell if it is a threat or not.
"You think I'm talking about breaking the rules?"
"No I'm just trying to figure out how far you want them bent."

Dalanath moves forward to stand behind his psicrystal.  "What are we going to do?"

[spoiler]Subject to you saying no, I am going to move the psicrystal to give you the sight you want.

Up four, right one.[/spoiler]

The little psicrystal skitters forward, into a position in front of the dwarf. From its new vantage point it does not spy any beads.

How about we share a drink now, and fight some other dudes to the death later?  We've got like a keg of booze, so there should be plenty for everyone.

Chauser sidesteps so he's next to the wall, facing where he thinks the gravelly voiced dudes are.

Oh, and who's the stiff?

Chauser's offer seems to fall on deaf ears, as all he gets back is a weak grunt. His second comment seems to at least interest the orcs enough to warrant a short response, "Hes dead."
