Lysander's hatred of Orcs fuels his attack, as he plants his battle axe into the wounded one in front of him.  He turns his attention to the one to his right, as he trusts his friend to take care of the ones on his left. (4)

Luthien, meanwhile, heads towards the Orc 1 2 and 3 group. He beheads Orc 1 so hard his head goes flying into the face of orc 2, who is still stunned when Luthien buries his axe into his skull. Orc 2 is likewise very dead as his brains spill everywhere.

He turns his gaze on Orc 3.

"Shall we dance?"

Shield ready, axe still dripping blood...he wonders how much courage orcs have today.

 They missed Elandra and then she fired two bolts of energy at Orc #10 and Orc #11, her bolts hot them both in the chest and they both fall to the ground dead.

 Elandra saw they were getting close so she decided to do three bolts at three different Orcs, and she will just go right down the line and get ready to fire at #12, #13, and #14. " May you find Peace in Death, may Peace be with all of us." Elandra will also watch the battlefield and look for anyone who has been hurt badly yet, at some point when her spells get lower, she will switch to healing the group.

Lorvia stayed up in the tree and hiding behind it as she eyed orc number five, leaning over enough for a quick shot with her bow before dipping back into her cover.

Unseen or so he hoped Eldon tried to keep some shrubs and tree trunks between himself and the orcs intent on the tree Ivy was up.  He murmurs a casting hoping they don’t locate him over their own noise or before the spell completes.

Devan does not want to use all his spells so he tosses a dagger at the wounded orc. (8). He focuses several moments and gives a (non magical) prayer to the goddess as he rips the dagger back over his shoulder and lets it fly.  He tosses the dagger and as it soars throuh the air, it lands in the dirt in front of the orc, who roars and almost laughs.

Krwyn misses the second orc, but his other Flaming Arrow hits the first orc at his side of the line. The arrow lodges itself deep in the upper part of the body, feeding itself on the coarse coat of the monster. But before the dying orc can react to the hit, he is decapitated by the furious paladin.

     As the others tried their attacks ,

 Dala ...fired   at the  main group coming up from  the middle to Ivy's side. .. She  loosed  two shafts, Hitting Orc 12, the orc  Fell to it s  Knees

 Kree...  Send  two shafts at  Orc 13.. one shaft   hit the  orcs  left calf, the other ( guided by  Netta? or Eta ?)  Slammed into the  orcs   head, dropping  it.

 Tyri.. Fried  at  Orc  #19, fearing they would reach Ivy in the Tree.. she   nicked  it... it stumbled

Riven.. marked the  orc.  and  Hit   it solidly  with a Shaft  killing it.

 Ivy was trapped, he waited too long to get  down, he aimed  at  Orc  18.. Hitting its  shoulder..and Missing with the next shaft..

  ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 the orcs  then attack.......

Let out a low growl as she missed again. She looked at her bow as if there was something wrong with it before shouldering it and drawing her short sword and waited for the orc to either come to her or advance with his group before deciding what she was going to do next but remained behind the trunk high up in the branches

 Elanda watched the others attack, and then the Orcs attacked, she was ready to dodge but no arrow came near her. Elandra took her position again, and then looked at the Orcs coming at them. Elandra then got a three Guiding bolt attack ready and was getting ready to fire at Orcs, 14, 15 and 16.

The next orc tries to swing at Lysander, but his efforts were fruitless.  This leaves him exposed to retaliation.

With no stray arrow disrupting his casting and the focus of the orcs in their immediately vicinity remaining on Ivy in his tree, as they bay for elf blood, Eldon utters the final syllable to complete his spell.

Not one orc arrow came even near Krwyn and the orcs that had been threatening him directly, lie dead in front of their line. So his attention wandered up along the line of orcs, looking for a living target for his next volley of Flaming Arrows.

Devan cast a spell of ill luck at four orcs, 4 5 14 and 15 as he invokes Nettas's name and his eyes glow Red for a moment as he licks his lips and moves his fingers theatrically hunching up and down briefly for a few miments.

As the   wild  arrow  shot  flew. Farora, Tyri  and  Riven  were  missed.. There  was a angry shouf of pain from Ivy's  tree...

..................

  Kree  was hampered  by the arrow in his left thighAid  IVY, he  is trapped in that Tree!

  the orcs   had  a  strong  side on that side   slops.. This would be the last chance   for the Pure archers  to let  f;ly..it  would be Balde to blade after..

Lysander continued his assault along the line.

 Elandra took her position again and charged up 3 guiding bolts. She then fired all 3 first going to Orc 14, second to Orc 15 and the last one to Orc 16. They all hit and all 3 are dead, they fall to the ground out of combat.

A solid opaque dome of ice forms under Ivy and around the trunk of the tree he has climbed, preventing further attacks between him and the two orcs trapped underneath.  The dome forms in a hemisphere around the tree, the sides roughly 10 feet from the trunk.


The same disembodied voice he spoke with before calls out in elvish to him.  "Chop chop, hurry now, you're just a target up there brother.  Come on down and perhaps you could slide a weapon my way because these shit eaters have taken most of what I own, and though my good looks and wit are great, that will only hold them off for so long.".

Lysander swings his battle axe at the nearest orc (4), hitting him, but not killing him.  He is frustrated, but it is an orc, thus must pay for his race.

Krwyn comes from the ultimate left side forward and to the right to come up at the flank or even a bit at the back of the remaining orcs. He fires another Flaming Arrow at the fifth orc, leaving the fourth orc for Lysander todeal with. His first shot nicks the running in its right arms, on which the monster unfortunately (for the orc) turns in the direction of Krwyn, leaving his whole body vulnerable for Krwyn's second shot. The second Flaming Arrow lodges itself deep in the upper part of the torso of the orc. The severe wound together with the hot flames kill the critter almost immediately.

Luthien then charges in at the next set of orcs...once again, his blows are strong, and he can easily take down two more orcs, presuming nobody's already shot them dead with arrows.

  Lysander ,, chargers    , ripping his throwing axe  from the dead  orc's head.. his   Battle  axe   wheeled  as hit  sliced  into the   thigh  of  Orc  4, but  the wound  Kept the  orc  Upright, though a  slice of its  thigh  colored the wide  and  brow  ground  red.
\
 Luthien..... came  By..his spell still active, the  blade  cut  into   orc #4  who fell dead... his  next   swing, hit orc  5.. and the body  fell to the ground.

 Krqyn's   arrows  Hit    Orc 5  as Luthien  Cut it down, The  orc  was never coming back...

Lorvia..... missed  and snarled to her self, The creatures   where trying to gather  around Ivy's  tree...

Elandra, ... expending   alot of her  Spell power, sent  three Guiding  Lights  into  The three orcs ( 14,15,16 ) , nearest   her side of the line, as they  rushed  Ivy's  tree.   The Orcs screamed  with surprise  and  Pain as the     Died, their bodies   hissing in the   snow , steam  rising from them.

Ivy ... slide  down the curved  ice, on the right side  of his Tree, Taking  a hargen  short  sword from the side of his pack   , he lofted   it toward s  the  area that was tramped down  by footsteps, that were not  orcs.see what you  are able to do with this..

Devon  ...smiled  as   it seems his   spell worked rather  well..or..was it  his  companions. Or ...a bit of both?

 Farora ..l.    stood up, and saw the orcs near her  were   gone, she began to move to the Ivy'[s  tree

 Tyri  ... fired  two shots at  Orc  17,,bot  barely missed..but they still missed.

 Riven.. sent two shafts  at  orc   18..one  Missed.. the  other  hit   in the  off arm, causing some damage.

 Kree   looked  for a shot, but his people were closing in, so he held off.. not being able to sprint.

Dala  Fired... she  missed  both ( one arrow  came with in 5 yards of Elron ) she stayed near  Kree.

OOC:  In case anyone planning to attack has missed it orc 18 & 20 are currently under an ice dome.

As the sword is lofted towards where his footprints give him away, it is suddenly snatched out of the air, exactly like it had been grasped by an invisible hand.  It is waved about a little, like the wielder was testing it's weight and balance.  "I didn't think this through too wisely brother." the voice is heard to say in elven.  "Swords aren't really my thing, and whilst this feels right, it's also all wrong for me."

The sword points towards the ice dome.  "These two will keep for an hour or so, but there are still others out there.". The sword is reversed and the pommel is held out to Ivyain.  Perhaps it is best I stay unseen, and I'll use other means to take the last of them out.

Devan will hang back at this point and guard the other casters, dagger in each hand.  He will attack any Orc that comes towards the group.

  Ivy   nooded  as he  heard the Voice.stick the  sword in the ground, it s  weapons  i took from dead folks, to sell if  we need to.... Now, I'll see if   i can  ned one of the others... and Kree  can decide  what to to with the   Orcs in the   ice   bowl
