Finn strikes at the second Orc near him, continuing to leave himself slightly more exposed. He wants to finish their attackers off before they have any chance of nearing Irime.

Varuthil grins as her arrow finds its mark. One less orc in the world. As the others close in on her, she quickly sheaths her bow and draws her sword, attempting to parry the orcs and strike at them with her sword. She finds herself very glad she invested the time and effort in training with the sword.

Finn presses his advantage, leaving himself open to counter attack as he swings several times at the orc. He connects lightly with the shoulder plate of the orc and knocks it back a few steps. His foe however spits, snarling, and leaps forward nearly driving his sword into Finn's belly, but Finn knocks the blade to the side at the last moment jarring his arm.

Varuthil switches from bow to blade and drives her slender weapon into the thigh of the charging orc. Her weapon drives in deeply into the meat of the beast, and it throws it back into the trunk of a tree. A wild sweep of its blade makes her step away, but she easily avoids the strike.

Your guard facing off against an orc of his own, strikes, parries, and dances with the enemy for a few more moments neither one getting the upper hand. Irime looks on without worry.

Finn parry's the strong blow of the Orc's blade, and slices his sword in an upward motion, hoping to catch the Orc off guard.

Varuthil continues to parry the orc's blades, then strike at it.

Finn parries, but the force numbs his arm some as he counters. His blade sweeps upwards to try nd take the creature by surprise but it brings its buckler around and blocks the strike. It then kicks Finn the chest knocking the wind from him as he's pushed back. The orc manages a howl, "We will gut you!"

Varuthil strikes, a simple yet easily defended against stroke. The orc leaps back, avoids the swing and strike his own blade forward. The she-elf however continues to prove impossible to hit and she dances away in time.

Your lone guard seems to struggle just as much as you both, but lands a light strike on the orcs shoulder. The orc spits on him, and stabs, grazing his leg with the bent and rusted sword.

You fight on...

Finn cries out a chant and raises his shield in defence; "Shining silver swords, swiftly drink your death!"

Varuthil hisses at the orc and parries and strikes out with her sword again.

Finn breaks off his attack and beings a chant, a war song of silver swords and victory. He rallies you all, himself included, to fight on to victory. Varuthil hears the song and swings. Her blade takes a drink of the orc's neck and slices the head almost off. It is flung backwards from the force and topples over dead in the bushes.

The orc facing Finn steps back, listening, angry, it snarls, "Shut your stupid mouth!" But it swings so recklessly that Finn easily steps away and to the side.

Your elven guard on Irime drives his own blade into the belly of the orc, ending it with a kick of his boot sending it dead to the ground. He readies himself for more, but for the only one one remains near to Finn.

After dodging the blade, Finn dives forward, swinging his sword, hoping to make an end of the Orc.
