| As he reached the charging orc group, he brought his weapons to the ready. He met the first orc sword thrust with one of his own deflecting the blow away from his body; he quickly brought his long sword back across to block an oncoming spear from a second orc. With his other sword, in his left hand, he stabbed out at the the first orc catching him on the leg that brought the orc down to one knee and with a swift swipe of his right sword off came his head.
The Tiefling now surrounded by the four remaining orc worked furiously, keeping his body moving at all times not letting the orcs any openings. His arms, legs, and tail worked in unison repelling the orcs and lashing out often. He noticed as the battle progressed that one of the orc to the left of himself slowing in his movements and further more that he was bleeding badly from a gash on his sword wielding arm. The Teifling leapt at this opportunity lashing out with his tail and tripping up the injured orc, down went one of his long sword slicing the orc throat and plunging in to his chest.
One of the three remaining orc shrieked out and panicked, he tried to run but the Teifling tail came out again hooking around the orc’s throat, choking him. He fell to the ground a moment later lifeless all the while the Teifling kept the other two orcs at bay. He recoiled his tail and went in the a roll springing up to the side of one of the remaining orcs, the orc groaned and arced his back in pain as a long sword slash across it. A moment later the orc felt a thud in the middle of his back and looking down he saw a sword penetrating from his chest.
The Teifling rapidly turn to face to last orc stand but he was no where in sight the Teifling shrugged it off assuming that the orc had turn and ran for is life. Although the fight had been fierce at times he received only a few cuts, for the orc group where not very skilled warriors, they had just flung themselves at the Tiefling and not even working together they had invited death upon themselves. He went back to his camp and finished what berries and nuts he had left. Afterward he spent sometime laying on his back looking up at the stars before turning over an going to sleep, his weapons at his side should the escaped orc decide to come back.
He awoke the next day picked up his possessions and proceeded on his way. He took to the side of the forest and tried to enjoy the morning. He knew he shouldn’t been so stubborn and angry about his body and most times he didn’t for he had an open road in front of him, he had freedom but some times like last night all his feelings get caught up to him for he was lonely, ever since he could remember he had been alone; he had never known his parent, he had never known family or friends.
He found a small stream and used it to bathe is wounds and wash the orc blood from his body and cloths. He also found a small berry bush, he picked some of them for later and out them in his pack. He took to the road again, he was a wanderer, he decided to go in search of a adventure or something to occupy himself for a couple of days.  |
