Rage at the foul deeds visited upon his kinfolk giving strength to his limbs, Hathcyn closes the last few paces.  With a hoarse whoop from the tallest of their number, the nearest orcs turn toward him, their need to protect themselves outweighing their lust for shedding hapless blood.

The thralls scatter as orc-swords are swung.  But Hathcyn moves with the sureness of a long-proven warrior, using the stones and the orcs' own numbers to foil their attacks and leave him ready, spear in wrath raised, to avenge the slain. 


:ooc: Those of you who believe that the GM always rolls what he wants: behold the above.

 :ooc: let's see if the helm has any gas left in the tank for this chapter.


The speed of Hathcyn was unsettling to the works, but this was quickly surpassed by the fey wrath that had come upon him. He strode in among their number unwavering, the green sprig of the helm still true and unspoiled, the blade of the spear shone like fire in the light.

"BEHOLD THE VENGEANCE OF THE ANDUIN IN THE FLESH! BEHOLD THE WRATH OF THE LONGSPEAR!"

 :ooc: Awe roll using the last battle die

Just as suddenly as he was upon them his spear went to work.

Eclecticon

Hathcyn's voice resounds as his iron spear drives down to spit the nearest orc and silence its whooping forever.  But no mere goblin-rabble are these, but warriors and soldiers already bearing the scars of great battles above the ground, and of savage fights in the lightless tunnels beneath the Misty Mountains.  The orc seizes Hathcyn's spear in its free hand and, its muscles knotted and straining, halts it in its path. 

As other orcs further from the Foresthelm's dour hands take up their bows, the three nearby heft their swords and make ready to cut down this interloper, no matter how fierce he be. 


:ooc: Tom, your Intimidate check didn't pass but a Hope point will make it stick - let me know what you want to do.  Your spear certainly hit, but the Whooping orc drops a Hate point to activate its Hideous Toughness and reduces the Endurance loss to five.

All alone for two rounds... yes. Let's spend the point.

:ooc: That turns a fail into a great success, and the orcs nearest him each lose a Hate point.  No change in the narrative, but we'll know that it worked.
