Situation: The company has been set upon by a raiding band of orcs out of Mirkwood. Caranmîr is currently across the river - depending on his council, it will take 3 rounds for him to get back across. Any aid from the river folk will take a bit longer.
Situational Modifiers: The Orcs are 4 hit creatures and the wargs are 5. Penalties will accrue for each hit a creature takes:
Hit 1: -1
Hit 2: -3
Hit 3: -5
Hit 4: -7
Hit 5: Dead or -9
Hit 6: Dead
Physical Modifiers: It is night time and darkness is settling - all creatures will be subject to a -3 test penalty (Night-eyed may reduce this penalty).
Initiative:
Wargs- 15
Nori- 12
Bornoge- 11
Kori- 11
Vári- 9
Turumarth- 8
Orcs- 7
Gumbo- 6
"Khazad ai-menu!!"
OOC: If W2 attacks his uncle, Nori will charge the warg, otherwise he will charge O8.

Using a combination of Sinda, Khuzdul and Westron, Turumarth faces the onrushing creatures with fury and hopes his flourish is enough to make them reconsider their press.
"Foul creatures flee! The Shadow has no power here! You cannot match our might. The wrath of your master from your failure will be nothing against our wrath. Flee into the night! Flee from whence you came!"
Gumbo crouches in the grass trying to get a sense of how the battle will unfold. As O10 comes within his range he springs from the grass with his spear leveled.
"BARRUK KUDUK!!!!!"

[OOC:] All right everyone, we are back...
First, Rob, I am going to let you re-tool your post if you want, but the wargs went first in Init order and W1 had two successful attacks (a claw and bite). Second, Turumarth's spell effects will still take place, but not until his Init order - in other words, all characters that acted before Turumarth and had a success, those orc defenses will not be hindered by the fear.
Here we go:

Also, for my new players... roll me your next round's initiative at the end of your post.
