Round 3...
Eremin exchanges a series of sharp jabs with the Orc he wounded last round (initiative; Eremin=2+1, Orc=4) with the Orc springing to the attack first (1d20=8), but Eremin moves nimbly aside and ripostes (1d20=17) with a (1dd=3) lunging stab in the face, slaying the foe.
At the same time another Orc skirts the cart to get within reach of Largo (initiative; Largo=2+1 , Orc=3) and the pair attack each other simultaneously (1d20; Orc=2, Largo=18) but Largo's aim is the fairer, and he slashes the Orc (1dd=1) a nasty cut for 1 hit point.
Meanwhile, Nat, Beranger and Soval are hotly engaged. (initiative 1d6; Nat=6, Beranger=5, Orcs=1) The Men attack (1d20; Nat=8, Berenger=15) but only the wounded Beranger scores a cut with his dagger (1dd=3) for 3 hit points. The Orcs fight back (1d20=18,6) and Nat is hit by a crude sword thrust (2dd=1,4) but he sacrifices his large shield to avoid injury.
Soval, Hero of Swanfleet, fights along side them; a wolf among hounds. Having just slain one Orc another immediately confronts him, this one a great brute of a thing with long arms and heavy shoulders.
Soval gives battle to a pair of them with his superior skills-at-arms (initiative, 1d6; Soval=2,3, Orcs=2,4). The greater Orc strikes with deceptive speed (1d20=19) beating Soval's defence and battering him for (2dd=2,2) 4 hit points with an ugly mace before Soval can reply (1d20=20!) most ferociously (4dd=1,2,4,4) opening the monster's guts with a mortal slash from its sternum to groin for 11 hit points. And he isn't done... he attacks again, simultaneously with the second Orc. (1d20; Soval=17, Orc=13) Soval deflects the Orc's rotten blade, then (2dd=6,5) beheads it with another lightening flash of his blade for 9 hit points.
"Come get some!" seethes Soval, Orc Bane, incensed by his wound.
