[h1][color=green]Count Salezenathor of Hesse[/color][/h1]
Sal jumped out of the tree, sprinted through the summoned brush and reached his horse.  The Count knew he shouldn't panic but that great-axe was looking absolutely terrifying.  He mounted just as the axe wielding orc got through the brush.  Icon apparently understood what was going on and rode the ranger back behind his team as quickly as possible.  The archer was downright certain that he heard a curse from that orc but the ranger ignored it, hugging close to the horse to avoid the crossbowmen.

[color=green]"Thanks for getting me out of there!"[/color] He shouted, thanking the Suldanian for his support.

As soon as he escaped the archer loosed an arrow at both crossbowman.  Despite Sal's skill, one panicked shot per second was not a guaranteed hit.

[h1][color=brown]Gunthar, Orc Captain[/color][/h1]
The first six orcs were engaged in glorious combat or dead.  With the pesky ranger escaped, the other six orcs looked for a target as they approached.

The captain looked at his six orcs in reserve, approaching the battle unsure of what target they should go for.  [color=brown]"GET THE MAGE!  The one behind the tree you milk drinkers!"[/color]  The captain looked back at Silius, smiled, and raised his sword.  [color=brown]"It will be fun to fight you.  Give me a minute though."[/color]  The captain then charged for Tyr's back, ignoring Silius completely.  [color=brown][i]Bet he wasn't expecting that![/i][/color]
