Actions for Round 2?

[Rex]

Egon

Egon continues his attack on the Orc Leader. "Someone take out the spellcaster!"

Battle Axe [1d20+2] = 18+2 = 20 to hit [1d20+3] = 15+3 = 18 damage

Oops, wrong damage. Here is the correct. Battle Axe [1d8+3] = 1+3 = 4 damage

I don't have spell craft.

[shaidar]

Weston tries again with his sling, going for the spellcaster if possible, if not then an already injured orc (leader by preference), failing that any orc will do:

Sling: to-hit [1d20+2] = 4+2 = 6, dmg [1d4+1] = 1+1 = 2

[Captain Kinkajou]

Elanriel

Elanriel twists to avoid the arc of the Orc's blade and stumbles backwards. She throws up a parry but doesn't quite manage it. The orc blade clangs heavily into hers. The force of the impact judders along her arm and the edge of the blade bites into her upper arm. She trips, falling backwards and sprawling on the ground. Her blades clatter from her hands. Damn it! As the Orc comes after her, she desperately scrambles to recover and counter the attack. Don't die! Don't die! A voice screams in her head.

ooc: The above is just colour. As per the fumble result, Elanriel is spending this round getting up and grabbing her dropped weapons.

[tarlyn]

Delsenora

Seeing Elanriel in dire need of assistance, Delsenora is troubled. She would really like to help her friend but, removing the

threat of the Orc Caster is more important. She could always cure Elanriel afterwards. Moving inside the room, she speaks

directly at the Orc Caster, casting Charm Person on it, hoping it works.

[alver]

Urtesi staggers, still holding his shield up in the hopes it will stop the Orc Guard's attacks. He tries to wipe his reddened eyes with a sleeve and blinks furiously, cursing all the while.

Spending round to clean eyes.
