If That Diamond Ring Don't Shine -- 035

(Udjat, they would be in range of his aura if he delayed until after them, which isn't a big deal to switch around since they go one right after the other. Telling them what to do is a free action anyhow. So I'll just flip inits if they even make it that far and we'll keep everything as is for now. The orcs know what they're doing better than I do )
--------------------------

Telling Garor to move in on Onyx, Ana moves to aid Askr against the orcs. She easily brings one down with a mighty slash of her sword.

After enduring the unthinkeable, Askr moves back five feet and finishes reloading. He would be ready if he was needed now, and he does his best to keep away from the orc and his falchion.

Heeding the words of his companion and sensing the danger that Taylor was in now that Noic had been brought down, Garor moves foward at Onyx as fast as his legs will permit. (doublt move 40 to bring you to row 60? )

Mercy and Shadow advance to keep pace with the others.

The longspear villagers attempt to take out orc X to free up Ana and Askr for Onyx
[dice=20]
[dice=8]

combined with the damage that Askr put on, the blow manages to stagger the orc. He is near death.

A second villager steps into the spot which Askr has freed up for him.
[dice=20]

The spear connects and the damage is enough to put down the orc.

The remaining two move foward to join Garor.

Reginald makes a bold move and moves foward to keep up with Garor as well, seeing the need for a cleric on the front lines right about now.

Two of the corssbow villagers who are able, move up and attempt to take shots at Onyx
[dice=20]
[dice=20]

Both bolts miss their target as the men cannot aim to the best effect without the risk of hitting Taylor.

Onyx looks over his shoulder at the goings on behind him and then focuses his attention back to Taylor. He waits momentarily, gesturing to his last ally on the field.

In the meantime, the wagon pulls up alongside Garor and the longspear wielders.

The sniper aboard takes aim at Onyx
[dice=20]
Again the missile misses.

Orc Y moves into position to flank Taylor, but not before the last goblin warrior gains an advantage
[dice=20]
The goblin screeches out in frustration as the AoO fails to hit.

Orc Y surrounds Taylor with Onyx but he does not attack, instead, he waits.

Onyx acts now, raising his Greataxe and swinging it in a sideways arc.

(In orcish)
"Gonna get a lot for this one." Onyx can be heard saying.

[dice=20]+8 to hit+4(flanking)-4nonlethal=hit

dmg
[dice=12]+6+Onyx cha mod on flank

"TAYLOR!" a female voice from within the orcs' cart can be heart shouting out as the boy crumples to the floor.

Onyx then takes a step to threaten the sole goblin warrior, who flees in fear

Orc Y uses his readied action to sweep Taylor's beaten body up into his arms, he looks back at the cart and prepares to move for it.

Goblin rogues are nowhere in sight.

-----
Onyx has taken 10 dmg
orc Y is severely wounded
Taylor has suffered 20 nonlethal damage, knocking him out as it excedes his hp total
Orc Y is dragging/grappling Taylor
Askr has 3 hp
Ana and Garor are down 1 hp each.
Noic is unconscious and helpless

(Garor didn't take a double, move, he ran.

[TheZebraShakes™]

OK, I edited placement, Garor will reach that point by his turn next (this) round. All others have double moved.
All other actions remain the same.

Still within 90' feet of Onyx Askr tries to steady the crossbow in his hands. He felt light headed, the world was starting to waiver as the blood seeped out of the wound on his side. He had never before been inflicted with a wound so grevious. It felt as if his side was on fire and burning away his insides slowly.

Mustering strength from pure will, he raises his arms and takes aim at Onyx. Nothing standing in between them he takes a shot.

Attack @ +2
[dice=20]

6. Miss.

Stumbling forward as he pulls the trigger the bolt flies off track and slams into the ground not far in front of himself. The wound in his side blankets his will forcing it into submission. Stumbling to one knee Askr struggles to simply push himself back up to his feet.[rand=17885527488333847022198693738529238365185310792945839104508006982]

[Toptomcat]

Garor closes the last few feet with an inarticulate scream of fury, swinging his staff at the orc leader's temple with as much force as his impresssive figure can muster.
(Charging. Power Attacking for one.)

Ghazi closes?

Mental cross-pollination for the lose.

[TheUdjat]

Seeing the last orc in front of her fall, Ana launches herself after Onyx and the others. Though she doesn't flat-out run, she does hurry, aware that Onyx may choose to turn back and attack if he feels an advantage. [Double move 60' straight north]
