OOC: We got to mop this up quickly so we can check the fallen for signs of life.

Baraglin touches the wound in his chest and looks at the Orc he killed and feels indignant. He doesn't say a word and looks around quickly for the remaining Orcs. If there is an opportunity to backstab an Orc he will take it, otherwise he will try to aid the closest "Warrior" in double teaming a target. (Safety in numbers, especially when you are small.)

Lmluin gives a nod of his head and sets about hunting down the fleeing Orcs with sword or bow as circumstances dictate. He has fallen comrades to avenge and sets about it with a vengeance.

Sli son of Vli squares off against the Orc Lieutenant in the shadow of Lonely Mountain. Win or lose, he will be long-remembered as a Hero of his race who fought bravely alongside Elf, Halfling, and Man. He wipes a fleck of blood from his long nose and grunts a wordless challenge to the alpha-Uruk.

Largo is settling into a rhythm of dodging and countering. With his second Orcish kill, a bit of confidence creeps into his brain.

"For the Shire!" he shouts, and the Hobbit will look for another Orc to (back?)stab.

Legandir swears at himself for his pathetic effort in missing his enemy (speakers of Sindarin are taken aback at weight of the term despite the heat of battle). He presses on, a bloody grin on his face.

She calls out to her groom Deorwyn to protect her. Hoping the armor and weapons she gave her would be enough.

‰ohild too is targeted as she crawls away (1d20=16), but at the last moment Lomeluin interposes himself between the stricken lady of Rohan and her would be assailant, taking the threat (1d20=16) upon himself. The brunt of the fell mace blow (2dd=3,6) that might have ended Eohild's life crashing upon his shield of Lorien, and its white timbers dashed apart!
...
Utter carnage!
"Thanks Lorien ", says ‰ohild giving thanks to Lorien and God for her life, spared yet again while unable to do anything but lay helpless.

‰ohild will try to defend herself with her spare shield and get under cover as best she can.

Just to clarify, Lmluin is only dashing off Orc-hunting if he is satisfied no Orc is in a position to sneak up and do anything nasty to the stricken ‰ohild and Norin.

If not, he stands guard over the wounded pair as before, lashing out at any Orc that comes within range.

Round 8

The remaining Orcs make a morale check (1d6=3) and at last their will is broken. With most of their craven fellows already in flight, and more than half their own number cut down, all bar the massive Black Lieutenant and a single defiant body guard turn and flee!

Nat Pickthorn rushes out from Hollin Gate to join those still able among the company to rally a short pursuit; just enough to deal a parting blow to the enemy that he won't forget, while Sili and Soval converge upon the Chief Orc and his body guard.

Simultaneous attacks are rolled (14d20; Nat=4, Largo=12, Baraglin=2, Dernfara=14,2, Legandir=15, Hallam=10, Hrok=19, Lomeluin=1, Soval=5,17, Sili=17,3, Sutherland=17).

Nat, Lomeluin and Baraglin find themselves out of position, and fall back to guard the fallen, breathless and soaked in sweat. Poor Hallam's eyes are not good enough in the dark to find his target, but all the others pay bitter dividends to the enemy as they fly.

Repayment is dealt among the fleeing Orcs. Largo stabs with his bloody dagger (1dd=5) for 5 hit points, Dernfara slashes with his sword (2dd=1,6) for 9 hit points, Legandir likewise with Morfil (2dd=3,1) for 5 hit points, and Hrok and Sutherland cut down the last of them with axe and sword, respectively, for (2dd=5,5) 11 and 4 hit points. Each slays a fleeing Orc.

Meanwhile, Sili smashes the injured bodyguard's skull with his flail for (2dd=2,1) 5 hit points, opening the way for Soval to eviscerate the Lieutenant with a mighty sword slash for (2dd=6,6) 15 hit points!

But not before the dastardly Orcs strike in return! The bodyguard versus Sili (1d20=14) hits with his jagged sword (2dd=2,2) for 4 hit points, reducing Sili to a mere 2. And the Lieutenant versus Soval (1d20=14) cannot penetrate our hero's armour (missed by 1 pip when a hit would surely have been fatal!).

Every Orc within reach has been cut down fiercely, and the remainder of them have already scattered into the darkness and surrounding mountains and valleys.
