While the rear-most Orcs make good their escape, the fighting around the mine car continues. Initiative is rolled (1d6; Lomeluin=5, Largo=3+1, Eremin=6+1, Eohild=3, Soval=5,2, Orcs=5).
Eremin twists around and springs at the Orc who has just slain Barald, driving at it with his dagger point (1d20=12), quick as a cat, and puncturing it for (1dd=4) 4 hit points. The Orc recoils with a horrible squeal, but it is not slain yet, oh no.
The the Orcs remaining in the fight strike a barrage of blows (simultaneously with Soval and Lomeluin) hacking and beating (4d20; vs Eremin=18, vs Eohild=17, vs Soval=13, vs Largo=12). Eremin and Eohild are each struck by a grim mace and cleaver for (2dd; Eremin=5,6, Eohild=5,3) 6 and 5 hit points, respectively, while Soval fends off the blows efficiently, and Largo is saved by his shirt of light Elvish mail.
(Eremin has 6 of 12 hit points remaining, Eohild 4 of 14 hit points).
At the same moment both Soval and Lomeluin riposte (2d20=8,18) and Man and Elf both slash open wound upon their targets, dealing (Soval 2dd=6,3) 9 hit points and (Lomeluin 2dd=3,4) 5 hit points, damage, cutting the pair of Orcs down with ruthless efficiency.
Only a moment later do Largo's, Eohild's and Soval's (second) attacks fall (3d20=5,19,6). Largo and Soval find themselves out of reach of any genuine opportunities, but Eohild slashes fiercely back at her nemesis wounding the great Orc for (2dd=1,6) 8 hit points, but even this savage blow does not fell it!
Then at the last Norin and Sili smash their way through the melee (1d20; Norin=13, Sili=16,16) and the last pair of Orcs learn to their cost how the Dwarves do the business fighting. Norin (3dd=1,6,5) crushes Eohild's foe beneath his hammer, splitting its helm and loathsome head for 8 hit points, and Norin (2dd=3,4 and 2,5) kills Eremin's Orc with two concussive flail blows for 7 and 8 hit points.
The Orcs are vanquished!
