Dorf`s thunderous taunt pierces through the chaos of battle, drawing the attention of five nearby orcs like moths to a flame. With primal instincts ignited by his taunt, their eyes lock onto Dorf with fury and curiosity, as they roar and charge at him.

With a maniacal laugh echoing through the chaos, Dorf charges at the nearest group of orcs with primal fury. His Dwarven axe cleaves through the air with lethal precision, striking the first orc squarely in the chest and sending it crashing to the ground in a spray of blood and gore. Killing it!

Dorf`s onslaught continues as he pivots towards the next orcnearby, his eyes ablaze with fury. With a ferocious swing of his axe, he delivers another devastating blow that carves a gash deep in the orc`s head, cracking it`s skull with a spray of blood and brain matter. Killing it!

Azalie can feel the warm blood dripping down her leg. She's not sure if it's Orc blood or hers. It doesn't matter to her. There are people suffering, hurting, crushing. She shakes off the trap of fear.
She has to stop that giant. His size is menacing, almost a taunt, a challenge. She spots a way up to the small balcony above her. She jumps from a cart to the support, directly on top of the roof.
"HERE ME! TAKE UP ARMS, JOIN THE HOWLBEARS AS WE RID THIS CITY OF DANGER. TAKE UP ARMS!" Azalie screams with all her might, pushing every word out while gritting her teeth. The pain from the wound is settling in. cough cough, she takes a few hard breaths and then casts Hunter's Mark on the Giant.
Pulling back her bow, she steadies herself and draws in a shallow breath through her nose. She holds her breath. As she she's her Arrow of Gentle Echos, fly through the air, she closes her eyes and prays for the arrow to hit.
"Go to the ground you beast." Azalie says to herself. "GO TO THE GROUND!" she yells out.

Her arrow whistles past the giant, embedding itself harmlessly into the snow. She grits her teeth in frustration, quickly nocking another arrow.

Fizz concentrates briefly, muttering a quiet incantation to end the entanglement. As he does, the vines abruptly loosen and retreat into the ground, freeing both the city guard and the orc simultaneously.

Fizz's Poison Spray engulfs the orc, causing it to choke and gasp as the toxic fumes overtake it, quickly bringing it to the ground lifeless.

As Fizzbum extends his hands towards Azalie, a warm, golden light flows from his palms. The light wraps around her, seeping into her wounds, which visibly begin to close. Azalie's expression softens as a soothing energy rejuvenates her, restoring 7 hit points.

Three orcs seize the opportunity to snatch more citizens from the streets, each grasping a frightened individual. The air is pierced by the screams of women as the orcs viciously pull and yank at them, dragging them away. The victims struggle desperately but are no match for the raiders.

In a brutal onslaught, six orcs attack milita guards aggressivly. Wielding their axes and clubs, they hack and slash through the defenders, cleaving through armor, crushing bone, and severing limbs.  Five of the guards are killed by the mauraders.

As the battle rages, eight orcs split off to wreak havoc on the town's property, channeling their destructive urges into theft and vandalism. They smash through shop windows, tear down doors, and grab whatever valuables they can carry, leaving a trail of broken and looted premises behind them. Their destructive rampage does 421 GP of damage to the town.

7 of the orcs are drawn to Dorf, his taunts ringing out to draw their attention. They swarm him with a flurry of blows, but only one manages to breach his defenses, the impact of the strike dampened by the ferocity of his raging spirit, and he takes 5 damage (down from 9(. Despite the onslaught, Dorf's mocking laughter and goading shouts continue, his presence dominating the battlefield as he deliberately distracts the orcs from attacking his allies.

Before the guards advance, the battlefield is rocked by a loud, resounding crack as Mutt's spell targets the giant's club, shattering it into splinters. Emboldened by this turn of events, five guards seize the moment and swarm towards the now weaponless giant, their weapons drawn and eyes alight with determination. They launch a coordinated assault, though their inexperience shows as four of their attacks fail to find their mark amidst the giant's flailing attempts to defend himself with his bare hands. However, one guard manages to hit, driving his blade into the giant for a significant wound, dealing 7 damage as the giant bellows in pain and rage. Acting Guards: 15
