As you have a Soft Leather score, Darvan, you can be wearing that.
Vardalain scores a 13C- not a kill, I am afraid, but keep it up. Again. Vardalain survives the return fire, though it is going to hit one day! Meanwhile, Baranar's archers have scored another kill there, and another rock from the slide kills two more Orcs. Argentis, you socre a wound also, so I shall kill off the one that Vardalain hit, for a bit of teamwork there... Palidan, you score a glancing hit, but only a flesh wound.
Darvan, you lay into your target. The snarling Orc takes two steps back, keeping you at bay with his spear, before jabbing towards you- you fend the blow aside.
Andromir, the fight on the West Wall is desperate. One ladder has been secured on the wall and its defenders killed! Now Orcs are starting to clamber up it freely. Your Orc stabs at you but you sidestep the blow (no record of you having a shield, I am afraid), but that leaves you off-balance and your return stroke does not hit home.
This damn Orc does not want to die, Corlindel. But rolling a 94 is very welcome- the 21 E doesn't quite get a decapitation but it IS a kill. But already another Orc has taken its place... if you can just get a few moments after repelling an attack you can take care of this but the Orcs are hanging on grimly!
Also, Corlindel, your Elvish ears pick up a rhythmic metallic noise somewhere nearby.
