Orc
Darkness had begun ta' fall by da' time we entered da' deep Westwood. We was searchin' fer an orc battle-party that was rumored ta' be plannin' on hittin' da' town of Foggyton. Our party consisted of meself, da' Bard, hedge wizard and of course our resident bag o' nerves, the human called Raglin. It'd been 'bout 5 or 6 hours of travelin' before we started hearin' da' telltale signs o' dem stinkin' orcs.
We had traveled fer a better part o' the day and were fixin' ta' bed down fer the night. Darkness had fallen when it happened. I smelt'em at first. It were a foul unclean stench, like a month old dead thing. I signaled ta' Calaris, da' half elf Druid, me findin's. Da' Bard, Jy, seemed jus' a little spooked by da whole thing, and Rags was next ta' useless in dis situation. (Since 'ees a human and all and can't see ina dark) I says to dem ta' stay here an I would do some scoutin' ta' get a better fix on 'em.
Da' forest was thick wit trees, but not so much as ta' prevent me from movin'. I would stop often ta' listen. I could hear dem breathin' but not see da' dirty buggers. I stopped and listened again. Soon they moved close enough ta' make out der shapes in da' night. There were 3 dat I could see when I heard me friends callin fer me. Not wantin' ta pass up a good fight, I screamed a battle cry and charged at da' nearest one.
If'n it was brighter, I would'a liked to see da' look 'o surprise on da' orcs face as me ax chopped through 'em. 'E went down wit a scream. Unfortunately, dat scream alerted de other orcs and dey came a runnin'. Me friends heard too, so dey came out ta' find me. Everyone but Raglin. He would'a I suppose if'n he could see, but it were dark so he stayed by some trees.
Da' next orc was ready fer me… Or so 'e thought. I chopped him a good one as he came a'hollering through da' trees. But da' dad-burned idjit wouldn't fall. Me axe got caught up in 'is armor and I couldn't get it loose. Kind of surprised me and he got a good lick in under me guard. I could hear da' bard now, charging through da' trees. Me next swing took down da' stubborn orc. I stomped on 'im a couple o' times jus' fer good measure.
Me friends got there jus' as more of da' orc scum appeared. Cal and Jy joined battle with them as I moved into position to dispatch da' last 'o da' original three. Maybe I will be able ta' turn dem half-breeds into some real fighters one day. Dey have heart, I'll give 'em dat. It's da' skills we needs ta' work on. Anyhow, De last orc jumps at me. I bring me axe down on 'em but he manages ta' block it. Now if'n there is one thing I cain't stand, it's a orc dat refuses ta' die. Pissed me right off it did. So when 'e bit me in da' arm dat was all I could stand.
I freed me axe and swung it across 'is midsection, cutting through flesh and bone with ease. 'E looked down in shock, but didn't fall. So I brought me axe down one last time, nearly cuttin' 'im it two lengthways. I don't know what da' others did exactly, but by dat time da' battle was over.
Ahhhh… nuthin' better than a little fight ta' unwind with 'fore ya hit da' sack. I slept like a newborn tucked away inna diamond mine.
