[Dargon Lonewolf]

Bull

Peaks around the column, and fires off a pair of missiles at the furthest Orc he can see.

Katten remains shooting at the same target, notching another arrow as she does so.

Assuming he is now dead, she shifts position, notching another arrow as she moves to hit 06. (But misses)
Long Bow (Thaco 16) [1d20]=5 dmg [1d6]=2

[Chris1234]

Using his race's ability to use a bow while running* Linar moves out to the NW, sends an arrow in the general direction of the wounded orc to the NE and then dashes back to end up just behind the minotaur. He says quietly, "Hey Beey! You hurting? In need of healing?"

======
OOC: * (Move 60'-fire-move 60', or fire-move- 60'-fire)
Longbow THAC018 [1d20]=2

[TristenC]

The bound and unconscious orc suddenly give a start and awakens! Pulling at his bonds he winces in pain as he looks around. Quickly he notices the bodies of his allies and the two gnomes beside him and settles down; content to glare at the pair.

Not far away the injured orc archer takes a pot-shot at Nocturno, missing, before backing around the next corner and out of Katten's view. With her target gone the Felis aims for the other crossbowman. The ranger's arrow catches the orc in the center of the chest, dropping him like a sack of scraps. Linar moves past Bullock and fires, ducking back behind the column. Bull also fires, but the pair hit only stone.

Holding his ground against the Halberd-wielding orc, Nocturno lashes out with a powerful slash; cutting deep into the humanoid's side. The orc staggers and coughs, the blow knocking the air from his lungs. He drops the haft end of his polearm from one girp, moving his hand to tightly press against the new wound. Enough, elf. he says in common; taking stock of their losses. We surrender…

[Jenara]

Katten holds her shit, approaching the surrended creatures, "You kick weapon away. All of you." She orders in her form of common. "Stand by wall."

[Chris1234]

Linar peers out, several arrows readied..

======
OOC: Their surrender is fine here

[Dargon Lonewolf]

Bull

Awaits their response while standing at full draw of his long bow.

[TristenC]

The orcs respond by dropping their weapons and slowly drawing out and dropping any secondary weapons

[Chris1234]

Linar moves closer, alert but relaxed, and still covering those surrendering.

[Nocturno]

Did that one get away?
============================
"Let's get them all together."

[Styrius]

Findalsip tells Jordek in Gnomish Common "This is about to get interesting. The orcs have surrendered. I would still wait to make a light until we know it will be safe for the others".

[TristenC]

The party gathers the now unarmed and surrendered orcs together in the columned room.


[3 injured orcish prisoners, one of which is tied. 1 uninjured orc. What does the party plan to do?]

[Styrius]

Findalsip remarks "It would be best to gain information from them before doing anything else. Knowing where to dig is just as important as where not to dig. No sense digging in a tapped out vein."

[Jenara]

Katten knew she was more muscle than brains, she waited on those who had questions to ask, personally she wanted to kill these scum now. She remains with an arrow notched, waiting.

[TristenC]

The orcs wait begrudging but expectantly. As nobody else poses any questions, Jordek lights up a torch so he can see. Facing one of the injured orcs he glares at him. What are you doing here? What was all that before and where did your bugbear friends go...?

The orcs seem relictant to answer
