-----As the adventurers get close, they are aware that this chamber is an armory of sorts. Various racks of weapons line the walls along with shields and coats of mail. Nine orcs mill about grabbing and testing swords, spears or other polearms.
-----When Raven and Sol step into the chamber, the humanoids freeze casting wary looks at the intruders. Their expressions immediately darken and one among them shouts, "The enemy! Attack!"
-----"That's it, ye blasted vermin, come an' meet th' Rager's wrath!" Sol calls angrily as he charges the largest bunch of orken warriors.
-----Sarah shoots magic missiles at the orc that was giving orders. "Stay back, Caranip!" She says.
-----Four magic missiles blast across from Sarah's delicate hand and bolt into one of the orcs. The impact of the evocation spell takes the orc off its feet and kills it before it hits the floor.
-----The armored Gorian brings his sword up and runs it through the gut of the first orc he meets. As it falls dead, Sol draws his sword up and cleaves it down through another humanoid's armor and chest.
-----Lovan slams his warhammer into the chest of an approaching orc before it raises it weapon. The warhammer thuds loudly into the muscle possibly breaking a few ribs. Even though it does not drop the orc, the foe is hurt by the storm priest. Lovan then sneers into its face.
-----Just to the right of Sol, Raven quickly sweeps one of his blades across an orcish throat. He then glares at two other orcs behind the one he just destroyed.
-----Garrison faces off against two orcs and savagely swings his battleaxe twice. Both swipes completely miss the humanoids. Caranip watches the woodsman with wide eyes and gasps as she fears he may be hit again.
-----Rinda suddenly swings her club at the orc facing Lovan. The club just narrowly misses its target. The storm priest grimaces and says, "This foe belongs to the Rager!"
-----The Huntress follows up that comment with a snarled, "Shut up and fight then!"
-----Just as the two orcs facing him begin to strike, Raven lunges into them. Each sword pierces a different neck hitting vital vessels that draws dark blood. By the time, Raven lands the orcs lie dead at his feet.
-----An orcish sword rings off of the shield that Lovan carries. He smiles with a satisfied expression while he readies his warhammer.
-----Garrison parries a hacking attempt by one orc while the second humanoid goes for the woodsman's right leg. With a slice, Garrison winces at the wound done to his right calf muscle. Caranip slaps both hands to her mouth in fright and looks as if she is going to dash to his aid.
-----With a quick spin, Raven turns and focuses on helping Garrison. However, as he turns his short sword flies from his right hand. Even though he could take a few seconds and recover the weapon, he switches his other sword to his right hand and moves in. The Hunter punches his sword up through the lower chin of one of the foes menacing Garrison and kills it.
-----Again, Rinda's club swoops by the orc without hitting it. Sol is suddenly by her side and the Lathanian blade darts in for a killing stab. However, the orc manages to sidestep the maneuver as well as avoid a swing from Lovan. A fire now lights in the orc's eyes as a fury with nothing to lose.
-----Just then Sol switches his stance and jabs his sword deep into the orc's gut. As it dies, the fire fades from its eyes.
-----Garrison turns painfully toward the last orc. He swings once fiercely and misses. He swings again and this time the axe bites deeply into the orc's torso. It falls where it barely hangs onto its life.
-----A frustrated Rinda runs over to the woodsman and tends to his heavily bleeding leg.
-----"Oh Garrison!" Sarah gasps and hikes up her robe so she can run over to help Rinda bandage the woodsman. "Sit down, woodsman, you have lost a lot of blood today."
-----"Sorry," Garrison says with a pant, "I know Rinda just told me not to get hurt." He smiles as he sits down on the floor so the two women can get at his wound. Looking around he sees the various weapons and armor in racks and on the walls. "My leather armor is almost rent. Maybe I can find something better in here. If leather isn't good enough, maybe I ought to wear chain if we expect to see more battles."
-----Looking up at Raven and Sol, he asks, "What do you two think? If you think we'll be seeing more battles in the next few days, I can at least carry a suit of chain on my horse and change into it if I need. It's just if I need to track, chain may be too heavy."
-----Looking down at the dead orcs, Lovan says to Sol, "You know what I hate about these orcs? They try to be too organized in their fighting. It is their undoing before the might of the Rager."
-----Caranip watches the tending of Garrison quietly while she chews her lip. Other than the talking between the adventurers everything is quiet now. The chamber seems to be thirty feet long and twenty feet wide with no other portal other than the one they entered.
