Ill news is an ill guest

Eirenaios gets a little closer to the cave hiding on the side of it

[tooleychris]

Does Craxzus use his gear to block the hole?

[Blazeguard]

Thorgrim maintains his position outside the cave and waits to see if Craxzus can smoke them out.

[Dram]

Craxzus Will use his pack to block the hole with his pack.

[tooleychris]

A few tense moments pass before the smell of foul body odor and campfire begins to permeate the air outside the caves main hole. Some excited barks in the orcish language come from within and smoke begins to roll from between the branches camouflaging the entrance.
More orcish grunts... then coughing. All falls quiet and then two orcs charge through the branches knocking them to the ground! They swing wicked scimitars blindly at the air in front of them, hitting nothing as the party on the ground flanks their sides.

Round 1 action!

OOC: Still trying to get my head around all these numbers but if all actions get a +25% wouldn't Thorgrim's shot have hit? 37% + 25% = 62% Is that how it works?

(QUITE RIGHT! My mistake. Keep me honest, folks! Post edited. 1 orc remains!)

[Blazeguard]

Thorgrim will reload his crossbow and keep it trained on the remaining orc, ready to shoot again if Throm is unable to subdue or kill it.

[tooleychris]

Craxzus slips down into the cave from the hollowed out tree trunk. It is still very smokey but he is able to make out the slumped pile of orc that fell earlier and sunlight streaming through the cloudy air from the cave mouth. Nothing else appears to be moving. He makes his way to the entrance where the combat ensues.
Eirenaios has lost his advantage of surprise an the orc dodges the blow while slipping in to attack Throm.
However, the Dwarf is quick with his weapon and lands a solid hit against his foe, cutting through the orcs leathers and drawing blood! before the orc slices at him with his scimitar, :
Orc Scimitar Attack [1d100] = 10 which the dwarf expertly dodges.
Smoke parts from the mouth of the cave as Craxzus lunges forward in surprise (+25%) and slips his blade into the orcs back. The orc drops his weapon and its eyes roll back in its head as it hangs limp on Craxzus blade.
Thorgrim lowers his crossbow. This battle is over.

[Blazeguard]

Thorgrim will enter the cave and immediately start searching for any clues or information that would tell us exactly where the orcs are going and what they are going to do.

Search (35%): [1d100] = 9

[GreyWolfVT]

Throm joins Thorgrim in the search of the orc lair/hideout. Search (25%) [1d100] = 63

[tooleychris]

The cave is still quite smoke filled but slowly clearing as you start your search.
Throm finds a couple of packs loaded with meat and bread. Enough rations to feed a few men for about a week. A couple Orcs sacking a city probably wouldn't need such provisions.
Thorgrim finds a rolled animal hide with a map on it.

Throm takes the rations and splits them among his friends "Do us more good then these dead orcs. But I aint likin tha looks a that map there Thorgrim."
