"Orcs!"Korba says in a surprised whisper. "They are planning another raid tonight."
Fenly frowns at the mention of Orcs and raids. "I only hear two voices in this room, if they are planning a raid we need to take them out", he whispers, holding two fingers up to indicate their numbers.
"I am ready to rush in once the door is open, let's try and take them by surprise!", he adds quietly getting ready to rush in if Osmorn opens the door.
Seeing his halfling friend attempt to quietly walk to the door and nearly stumble, only to catch himself and stumble again, Korba crouches down attempting to quiet himself at least, even if his armor makes that difficult. ((stealth 11))

Tarwun rolls his shoulders and puts his back to the wall across from the door before striding forward and planting a booted goliath foot right next to the latch.

Tarwun - The iron banded wooden door flies open with a CRASH, revealing two very surprised Orcs! They fumble for their weapons as you all charge into the room.
Initiative rolls:
Fenly: 20
Korba: Unable to parse dice roll.
Osmorn: 23
Tarwun: 8
Orc 1 (Male): 15
Orc 2 (Female): 20
The party acts first!
SURPRISE ROUND
Korba and Tarwun are up! They may act in any order. Once both have acted we will begin ROUND 1, with the party acting first, followed by the Orcs.
All - The Orcs' eyes go wide and their mouths hang agape as you all charge into the room. In addition to the Orcs, the room also contains a bookshelf across from you against the north wall. A cluttered desk stands along the west wall opposite a door in the east wall behind the startled female Orc.
Thinking he is being very stealthy, Osmorn dips into the room after everyone and hugs the far right wall before thrusting his rapier toward the shocked female orc.

Rushing in after his new companion, Korba knows it’s always better to deal with one foe at a time, even if he doesn’t want to be between two of them. Deciding to deal with the male orc as well, Korba attempts to swing his sword at it.
Place Korba between T and O2 please Surprise round: Attack: 13 Damage: 7 Since I’m high in initiative, here is the roll for the first normal round as well. Again at O1, unless it’s dead, then obviously to O2: Attack: 18 Damage: 4
Korba - Your attack is enough to finish off the male Orc. Would you like to describe what that looks like?
Orc 1 is DEAD.
ROUND 1
Osmorn - The female Orc shouts a curse as she fumbles for her scimitar and her friend is cut down by Korba and Tarwun. Your rapier traces a red line across her front that soon begins to bleed.
Korba - Your attack is knocked away as the remaining Orc finally manages to draw her scimitar and deflect the blow.
Tarwun posts up facing the hallway to the west, and as the party moves to the east, will keep an eye on their backs as they prepare to enter.
