Shaarilla moves up and reports that she may have found where they are coming from.

Meanwhile, throughout the city, there are sounds of fighting and war. Fires are burning. Clearly Fangora will be overrun if nobody is able to stop the invasion of orcs.

GM: Here are the current HP totals for the group:

BARNAS - 18/49 (-10 to all actions)
KC - 22/43
MARTIN - 24/50
MORTY - 19/41 (-10 to all actions)
LANI - 34/50
SHAARILLA - 28/28
SYL - 37/52
TYRA - 33/66

GM: For healing you have First Aid (Tyra @ 5 minutes per attempt) and Cure Light Wounds (x2). Barnas also has one that he can use only on himself.

TYRA: Once Shaarilla reports what she has found Tyra replies, "That's worth checking out pronto. We don't have time for first aid at this point. Barnas, you should use your healing charm on yourself at this point. I know some of us are fairly wounded but I don't know if it's wise to use our healing spells yet."

SYL: I agree with Tyra that we need to find the source of the Orcs and either stop it ourselves or summon Guards. or we wont't have a towrn to base out of...

SYL: To aid in the scouting of the source, she can cast Haze of Shadows (49% SC), Walking Unseen (59% SC) or Invis (49% SC) on KC?

GM: I will send the next turn later today or tomorrow with the assumption that the group does no first aid and that the only healing is Barnas using the CLW in his Healing Charm. The group will go to where Shaarilla thought she saw orcs emerging from a building.

MORTY: I am fine continuing without being healed, I know that my combat skills are not the key to victory here.� I would love to be able to take a minute to recharge my pistol a bit, but I think the situation is too urgent.

MORTY (OOC): I don't intend Morty to be the tactician, so I am staying silent in most cases, but since noone has said anything I would recommend one of the cures going to Martin, he's close to being at penalties and he is one of our better front line fighters who is most likely to end up fighting more of them, or for longer, or both.

BARNAS: OOC Assuming we do not want to stop for first aid (which I think is wise not to), Barnas will use the healing charm on himself. He will also use CLW spells on others as the party thinks wise

BARNAS: OOC he will spend the EXP to gain Cleric Level 4.

The group stays where they are just long enough for Barnas to use his healing charm twice, once to heal himself and one to heal Martin using one of his spells.

BARNAS - [rolled 2 3 (+4)- Total: 9] - heals 9
MARTIN - [rolled 5 6 (+4)- Total: 15] - heals 18 (rank 2 healing specialist)

Then Shaarilla guides them forward and into the next courtyard. Clearly some fighting has been happening here but has since moved on. The courtyard is empty of the living but dead bodies, both orc and townsfolk, litter the square. Shaarilla points to a section of wall where she thought she saw some orcs come through. It does not take long for the group to find that there is indeed a secret door. Morty checks it over and gives the okay and then Tyra opens it. It leads to a dark chamber. The group enters, with Barnas carrying his lantern to provide light. Tyra also has a light spell on her shield. The chamber is small and empty except for a trap door in the floor that stands open. The stench of orcs is strong here.

A wooden ladder stands in the trap door and provides access to a lower chamber some 20 feet down. The first 10 feet are solid earth before opening into a crude room no larger than the one above. The dirt walls and ceiling are crudely shored up with thick timbers. A passage in the back wall exits the room and slopes sharply downward. The group follows the tunnel for a couple hundred yards. It widens out a couple of times and is shored with thick timbers the entire distance. Sometimes it runs fairly level and other times it descends. When the group reaches the third widening, KC hears the sounds of running in the distance and getting closer. It sounds like a group of orcs, maybe half a dozen to a dozen or so, are moving forward.

The group splits up to set up an ambush and are in place when the orcs rush into the room. When they see Martin and Syl, they charge forward, presenting Shaarilla with an ideal setup for her lightning bolt. Meanwhile, Tyra, Lani and KC are hiding at the other end of the chamber to prevent any from escaping.

GM: Shaarilla can roll for her Lightning Bolt (it's in her Spell Wand so it will work but she might get lucky and roll critical or grievous success - any other roll is treated as normal success). Everyone else can send their round 1 and 2 actions.

GM: Map to follow shortly.
