Not wanting to get shot, Morjhan moves to stand next to Hjalmur and then breathes a cone of acid down the hallway.

Still moving cautiously, the cat elf moves closer to Hjalmur.

The dwarf continues running, hoping his short legs can eventually catch up with his longer legged allies. He keeps his bow in hand, in case he sees any more obvious threats.

((I have marked the Arrow Slits with orcs. They are generaly 8-10ft or more over the ground (3m)))

Hajlmur is momentarily paralized with indecision before he tries to hug the now acid drenched wall to avoid being shot at, though drawvish construction makes that a bit hard. Loots display of gold had some orcs discuss if they should try and go out but Morjhan's acid breath stops that discusion and replaces it with pained and panicked screams. The cover granted by the dwarven fortress protects them from the worst of it, but the acid breath at least stops them from shooting more arrows for now. Still it probably won;t be long until the orcs regain courage.

As Loot is sitting around it does note the distinct gleam of silver on the slain orcs.

Hjalmur, noticing the arrow slits, runs down the corridor, trying to make it inside and to better cover. (Double-move straight to the interior)

Noticing the short legs of at least one of her companions, Azumi decides that it is probably necessary to take out the enemy archers first. Partly in cover behind the bend of the path and only creating line of sight with the northern two archers the cat elf fires an arrow at the northernmost, through the arrow slits.

Satisfied that arrows have stopped raining down, Morjhan follows Hajlmur inside.

The dwarf moves up behind the crazy cat lady and takes a shot at the orc in the first arrow slit.

Loot spends his time collecting the valuables from the slain orcs, he finds a few silvers and a handfull of coppers, a total of 2gp worth.



Hjalmur is just in time at the great door, as two orcs are trying to shut it but with his great strength he stops them from closing causing the orcs to reach for their weapons instead. The great door opens into a large hall. You are fighting on a 10ft ledge overlooking a deep, dark crevasse that cuts the room in two, completely obstructing passage to the opposite side. A  dangerous looking rope bridge, frayed and thin, spans the gap. Water gurgles and rushes somewhere far below. Two copper braziers burn brightly on either side of the door, illuminating this half of the room. You can just barely make out the opposite platform on the other side of the chasm.

In the shadows of the natural rock of the chamber’s far side, two porcine humanoids stand watch before another stone door. They snarl a challenge, revealing yellowed tusks, and raise their bows to fire on Hjalmur! Arrows clatter all around him and bounce off his armor while the two orcs at the door swing their axes, one of them even get a fairly good hit in that slightly dents the armor.

The others meanwhile are suppressing the orcs at most of the arrow slits facing the hallway, there is some shouting, but Nordars expert shot disperses their courage again and they stay away from the arrow slits. They are shouting for reinforcements however.

With the orcs surpressed for now, Azumi darts forward. Slipping from shadow to shadow, the darkness clinging to her, she sprints along the stairs. Intend on catching up to the bear.

It was a good day, that day. Loot beamed with satisfaction and trotted away to catch up with his clients. It made it all the way behind the gold-scalled friend. He hoped inside the premises would be a nice lodge to relax in while counting the gains of the little exercise.

The dwarf speaks a word in his native tongue and a gleaming suit of plate armor appears on him. He then continues to move towards the gates.

((I gave the people who actually posted up some bonus movement))


Hjalmur fights defensively to ward of the two orcs until reinforcements arive in the form of a bouncy catgirl, and the orcs are regaining their courage though the heroes have gotten past the bulk of the defences.

Looking more at the swaying treacherous bridge you would guess that it would be slow going to cross it.

Cursing at the appearance of the rickety bridge, the dwarf fires two more shots from his bow at the orcs blocking the doorway.

Seeing to advantage of not being where he was anymore, Loot would rush to the position the little cat-lady occupied, hoping she wouldn't occupy it anymore. It would allow it to butt itself against one of the orcs blocking the passage. Otherwise, once the way would be cleared he'd be able to venture further into the room and see what it was all about.

Catching herself from her swift dash, Azumi smoothly steps back behind Hjalmur and fires an arrow at the northern of the two bow-wielding orcs behind the bridge.

To hit:
Rolled 1d20+8 : 15 + 8, total 23


Damage:
Rolled 1d6+5 : 3 + 5, total 8

Rolled 1d4 : 3, total 3

Morjhan keeps moving forward and breathes acid again.

Nordor wounds one of the orcs but his other arrow shoots Hjalmur right in the ass and the bear spends some time hopping up and down in pain before pulling it out.
Azumi shoots one of the orcs on the far side right between the eyes, causing him to collapse. The remaining orc on the far side of the bridge rushes out of cover and begins hacking at the ropes holding the bridge up.
Morjahn's bad breath is enough to kill the wounded orc, and injure another. The archers in the fortifications see the dragon man as the biggest threat and shoot at him, one misses but the other hits Morjahn for 7 damage.
The wounded orc swings at Loot but misses by a mile.

In the rift room a secret door opens and a horde of orcs pours out intent on engaging the characters in melee.

Hjalmur attacks the Orc adjacent to him with his massive hammer, and then bites savagely at him.

The hammer alone splaters the orc (In case you want to do other actions, such as taking a 5ft step and splatering a second orc.)
