"Wait, listen!!!" the bard hisses.
She focuses intently on the sounds issuing from the sinkhole.
"Do you hear it? That breathy, croaking sound?
"Skyseeker, you said Hellspawn Hoppers were listed among their forces? And that they contain devil's blood?" as she quickly changes her arrow for a silver one...
Darkwood--Deepening Dusk
Moderator: Seven Words
Drawing out one of the scrolls stored in her quiver with her arrows, Laurel burst in to song while doing so, in the hopes of bolstering her friends and allies as they fight...
Focusing her song on the last chorus, it becomes a driving chant that she keeps up no matter what else befalls her this day...Soul dead fools, their hands up high
Spreading terror, the innocent die
Throwing bombs, the intention to kill
Soulless slaves, no reasons, no will
The evil madman has taken his toll
Possessing their mind, owning their souls
Souls of hate, hell awaits
Trembled with fear while they're walking its gates
Brain dead phrase, screamed out loud
Imbecility rules, no slip up, no doubt
Bloodstained hands, the money rules
Taking their share by seducing fools
The evil madman has taken his toll
Possessing their mind, owning their souls
Souls of hate, hell awaits
Trembled with fear while they're walking its gates
Fight, the fire of hate
Fight the evil before it's too late
Fight, that life-killing flame
Cause when the blood flows no words can ease the pain
Bewilderment when the children die
As time goes by, no thought, no cry
Savage War parties, lighting the flame
The fire of evil is ruling their game
The evil madman has taken his toll
Possessing their mind, owning their souls
Souls of hate, hell awaits
Trembled with fear while they're walking its gates
Fight, the fire of hate
Fight the evil before it's too late
Fight, that life-killing flame
Cause when the blood flows no words can ease the pain
Soul dead fools, their hands up high
Spreading terror, the innocent die
Throwing bombs, the intention to kill
Soulless slaves, no reasons, no will
The evil madman has taken his toll
Possessing their mind, owning their souls
Souls of hate, hell awaits
Trembled with fear while they're walking its gates
Fight, the fire of hate
Fight the evil before it's too late
Fight, that life-killing flame
Cause when the blood flows no words can ease the pain

Beauregard climbs up to the roof, intending to take the high road to get some sneak attack angles!
Led charges, he manages to land a blow with one claw, the other strike goes errant...but that one blow is a critical strike! (14 points) The orc falls to the street, hands grasping futilely at the ruin of its throat.
Marrik dashes forward to support Led, but the nimble scout easily outdistances the heavily-armored paladin.
The orc priest pulls out a scroll, steps to the south, then southwest, and reads the spell upon it....he unleashes a Lightning Bolt! His movement has lined up Led, Skyseeker, and Vynarkus! However, the range limit of the spell cause it fizzle out just 30' short of the warlock....Led manages to twist out of the way of the worst of it (10 points...as does Skyseeker! (11 points)
Vynarkus points at the cleric, and a sizzling blast leaps out, striking the orc! (9 points)
The remaining FellSpear orc stabs at Led, but misses!
Skyseeker runs forward and hurls a flaming javelin at the cleric, but misses!
The regular orcs, grunting savagely, rush forward to attack the paladin! Only the one who worked to his rear manages to connect, but the Adamantine armor absorbs almost the entire blow! (1 point)
The ogre strides forward, a furious roar escaping it's lips, and blood-lust gleams in its eyes as it begins to all but foam at the mouth...and it swings it's massive GreatClub at the paladin! (16 points)
Midnight fires 2 rapid arrows, slaying the orc to Marrik's rear (4 points and 6 points)

Noticing that all the fighting is moving over towards Marrik, except for one person... Led charges towards the cleric and hits him with everything he has.

Continuing to sing, the bard notices she is too far away to truly be effective at anything else. Grasping her weapons and the scroll tightly, she runs full speed closer towards her friends.

Beauregard executes a full out sprint, leaping from rooftop to rooftop...achieving the angle he desires, all set for next round.
Led disengages from the FellSpear, who fails to seize the unprotected opportunity....then charges the Cleric...but failing to strike him.
Marrik slashes at an orc, striking deeply as the beast wails in pain, collapsing. (9 points)
The cleric casts a spell upon Led! The shifter screams in terror, but steels himself to face his foes!
Vynarkus focuses his will upon the cleric once again...but this blast goes astray.
The FellSpear orc moves behind Led, seeking to impale him...but the shifter's thick hide manages to deflect the orc's thrust.
SKyseeker moves forward, and hurls another flaming javelin at the cleric, this one sinking home, pinning him to the ground in a coruscation of fire! (11 points)
The two remaining orcs fail to strike the paladin...
The ogre swings at the paladin, but misses..and then sidles 10' to the south, bringing the trapped scribe within his reach.
Midnight fires twice at the FellSpear Orc trapping Led, both arrows sinking into its back, as the creature gasps its last breath (7 points and 7 points)
and four bizarre looking toads leap out of the pit! (ooc--the green squares on the map..their initiative is eighteen))

Recovering from the mystical terror, only to be confronted by the very real terror of a raging ogre with a greatclub, Led goes on the defensive. No running around for this beast... slow and steady, with some help from his friends with ranged weapons.

Since the ogre is turning to face Led, Beauregard seizes the opportunity he positiond himself for, flinging a dart into teh exposed back of the Ogre! The small projectile sinks perfectly into a vulnerable point (15 points)
Led begins to flow, twisting and moving, presenting a very difficult target to any attacker.
Marrik commits himself into an overpowering swing, sacrificing accuracy for brute force...and hewing clear through the orcs shield and armor, ending up kicking the body off the blade stuck in the chest.
The Hellhops to the north leap out, seeking to engage Midnight and Vynarkus. Though Vyn is out of range, one is close enough to *CROOOOOAAAGGGGHHH* and cough up a small fireball at the elven ranger! (2 points)
The central one shoots its tongue out at the paladin! However, his shield deflects the disgusting appendage, barely avoiding having it yanked from him due to the sticky mucus upon it.
The last one *CROOOOOAAAGGGGHHH* a fireball at Led, but misses. The projectile starts a small fire on the building behind the scout.
Laurel fires a silvered arrow into the HellSpawn Hopper ahead of her. The twisted creature makes a sound of pain, and a faint wisp of smoke wafts up as the metal sinks effortlessly into its hide. (7 points)
Vynarkus now turns his mystic power upon the Ogre! (6 points)
SKyseeker moves Northwest, then cuts North, and hurls her last fiery missile at the massive Ogre menacing her Heshic friend. (9 points)
The last orc manages to strike the paladin, but again his doughty armor easily absorbs the blow!
The Ogre furiously swings his mighty club at the nimble foe before him! Led is nearly knocked into the wall by the mere wind of its passage just inches from his body!
Midnight fires twice at the last orc, both missiles flying true! (5 points and 8 points) The orc is killed, knocked over backwards from the force of the shots.

Led continues moving around the ogre, towards Marrik. Moving slowly, while focusing on staying out of the club's path. As he moves next to one of the Hellspawn Hoppers, he starts shouting at it, to get it's attention. "Hey, Hellspawn! Just your name is an insult, I don't even have to invent anything bad to say about you!" When he has the monster's attention, "Now Marrik!"

Continuing to sing, Laurel watches the silver arrow sink into the Hellspawn Hopper with satisfaction. Thank you for the information on the devil blood of these creatures you shared earlier, Skyseeker, she silently thinks to herself.
Unrolling the scroll she had in her grasp, she casts a mental prayer up towards Cerana, asking the Wild Bitch for her blessing upon this fight and her help in using the scroll [ooc: UMD check please]. Then, reading the spell on the scroll, all the while still singing [ooc: Melodic Casting, please], the bard attempts to instill fear into all enemies within 50' feet of her [ooc: attempt to cast Bane].
Once the spell is cast, Laurel moves rapidly at a sharp southeast angle towards the burning building to the south of her and dives through a glass window to take cover [ooc: move one square southeast then one square south, finishing by diving through the window into the building].

Beauregard flings a second dart into the ogre, again finding a weak point! (9 points)
Led moves to the northeast, continuing his bobbing and weaving, presenting no constant target.
Marrik steps southwest 5' and calls upon Missaryi to strengthen his arm as he swings his enchanted mithril blade at the Hellhop to the west, but he misses the loathsome amphibian.
The advancing Hellhops split..one leaps close to Midnight, before lashing out with its tongue. The appendage connects, the impact staggering him and the tongue sticking...the sticky secretions are also caustic, as smoke begins to rise from where it touches the elf. (2 points from the impact, and 4 points from the acidity)
The other one makes 2 short hops to the southeast, before a frenzied series of leaps propels it on a headlong charge at Vynarkus! Its tongue lashes out, striking the warlock! He, however, is NOT adhered to. (3 points) His Eldritch Armoring sears the twisted monstrosity! The energy flares as teh tongue strikes through it, and the ravening force devours the head of the thing! ( 12 points)
The center one launches its tongue at the paladin, but misses!
The one closest to the bard strikes at her with its tongue, and hits, sticking! (1 point impact, and 3 points from acid)
Laurel manages to read the scroll successfully, despite her entanglement, but is unable to break loose to run for the building. The spell afflicts all of the enemies.
Vynarkus blasts at the ogre again (10 points)
Skyseeker moves North, then Northwest, before flinging an axe at teh Ogre. (8 points)
The ogre finally manages to smash the nimble Heshic with an overhand swat. (19 points)
Midnight takes a 5' step back, and fires desperately at the Hellhop, whose tongue simply stretches....it seizes the opportunity to,revoltingly, expel its viscera onto Midnight, where the stomach acids begin to eat at him, even as those very secretions catch fire! (2 points acid 4 points fire). Despite this, he manages to hit the beastie both times. (6 points and 9 points). the horrific toad slumps, and the tongue and viscera slough off of the revolted ranger.

Led staggers from the blow, but is barely able to keep moving. Now that he's moved away from the wall, he has the chance to get away from the ogre before he's pounded flat. One more blow like that, and no amount of healing would help him. I'd best get to safety and quaff this healing potion.
