-----The first orc quickly dies with Sol’s first attack, but in the move, the young warrior roughly nudges two of the orcs. The humanoids flinch, released by the spell and begin to nervously look around at the chaos left behind by the battle.
-----In the meantime, Seth has completed tying up the dead orcs and continues checking the fallen orcs to make sure they won't suddenly 'Jump' again. With his gift dagger in his hand, he suddenly stops work and announces in a loud voice, "It appears there are no more orcs in the forest," then drops his head and continues with his work.
-----The Dread Pirate grins a bloodthirsty grin from his perch on the dead orc's back as he looks contentedly over the battlefield. His grin widens as Sol unwittingly wakens the other four orcs, "Arrrr, that wasn't too bright now, was it?" He then hurls a couple poisoned daggers at the orcish foe.
-----"Till I start taking up spell casting as a hobby, I have no way o' knowing what a new spell does. I had t'do something." Sol replies to the pirate casually as he starts to attack the two orcs he nudged. From the way he's fighting, he doesn't seem the least bit concerned about the possibility of attracting the attention of the last two.
-----The first dagger that the Dread Pirate lobs strikes one of the orcs in the upper leg. The other humanoid stares wide-eyed at Sol as he advances. Sensing the demise of the better part of the small orcish troop, the orc begins to run away toward the brush. The orc that has the dagger sticking out of his leg makes it a few feet before falling flat on his face. The humanoid’s body appears to stiffen, as it lies there motionless.
-----Sarah shakes her head at Sol and picks up a fallen orc’s short swords. Walking up to the two orcs that are still mesmerized by her spell Sarah lifts the short sword and neatly slits the throats of the two orcs. Afterwards she drops the sword.
-----Raven looks over to Rinda, "Thank you for the help. It took all of the Hunter's children to take down this prey." Raven looks down at the half-orc, "Damn he was a tough one. The world will be a better place with him gone." Raven holds still as Rinda tends his wounds.
-----Rinda, grimacing at the wicked look of Raven’s wounded leg, quickly prepares a healing spell. "I don’t like the look of that wound," she mutters disappointedly upon seeing the injury not fully healed. She then begins to wrap it with bandages. "Although I don’t like staying in the town, it may do good to rest once we get to Oakwood."
-----Once bandaged up, Raven begins to search the half-orc.
-----The Dread Pirate watches the fleeing orc as it runs off into the forest, "Hmmm, I'm guessin we won't be seein him again any time soon." Gimplefwick then goes about collecting his throwing daggers and tying up the orc that was paralyzed.
-----"Oh no you don't." Sarah spits at the fleeing orc. Raising two of her fingers, she casts two bolts of pure energy at the fleeing monster.
-----With a small grin forming on his lips, Sol begins to take out after the fleeing orc. As the two bolts of magical energy rocket by his shoulder, the young warrior flinches. The two magic missiles strike the orc fully in the back of the neck whereupon it falls on a small shrub bush. It lies motionless, its spirit already gone from this life.
-----Sol lowers his sword and stands over the humanoid with his mouth slightly open looking for any sign of life. After a moment he turns and smiles widely at Sarah. "Nice shot!" he tells her with an impressed chuckle.
-----He then looks around and sees all of the humanoids are either dead or very well subdued in one fashion or another.
-----"Thank you very much," Sarah says, smiling brightly at Sol.
-----Sarah walks over to Raven and Rinda, kneeling down and looking at Raven’s leg. "How ya doin?" She asks him. "Any idea who that guy was?"
-----Sol wipes his blade clean of orcish blood on one of the bodies. Quietly he resheathes his blade as he looks over everyone's condition. Satisfied with the findings, he heads over towards Raven and looks at the hunter with encouragement, "Don't worry Raven...You could've had him."
-----Rinda looks up at Sarah. "Raven’s still pretty much injured," the huntress says, "We should get on to Oakwood. I’m hoping there we can get more healing for him. After taking back that keep and taking care of these orcs, that should be the least they can do for us."
-----At the mention of moving on to Oakwood, Seth looks around for his horse. As he secures it he asks, "Will Raven be able to ride or will he need a wagon or something?"
-----Raven makes a grunt in pain as he gets up from checking the half-orc's body. Raven looks over at Seth, "I'll be able to ride."
