Torq, you retrieve your hammer and axe and turn hearing Urzok's battle cry. You meet him back in the middle of the two group standing 20 feet apart. Urzok says, "Begin." and moves towards you closing the distance in a few rapid bounds. He shouts once more conjuring two specters of himself that passes through you and appear behind you on the right and left. Before you can comprehend what just happened you feel his axe bite into your shoulder and feel the immense strength behind the blow. A second blow follows through on the same side cutting into your wing but it isn't from Urzok it's from the right specter. You duck under a heavy blow from Urzok and parry the fourth with your axe then you feel an axe slam into your back from the specter on the left. It tries to strike again but you sidestep the blow and the specter's axe slams into the snow. Your body is spun around as Urzok's final swing connects catching you in the chest.
Your blood boils and adrenaline floods through your veins as you rage. This is what you longed for a true challenge to your power. You ignore the specters and attack Uzrok slamming you hammer into his chest. The flames flick across his chest but doesn't seem to have as much of an impact as expected. You hit him again across the face cutting instantly bruising his cheek but he continues to smile through the pain. He catches your third strike with the handle of the great axe and pushes it away. You spin and slam you hammer into his side and he continues to smile. "My brother was foolish enough to accept Daegon's invitation. He and his Warsong Clan fell victim to the vile sorcery that corrupted so many." he says while each of his specters attack. You block the left specter's attack but the right specter hits you in the wing. Urzok seizes the opportunity and quickly raises both axes high to strike down onto you. One slams into your shoulder stopping on the clavicle while the other glances off your wing.

Damage: 1381110 (forgot he has a 6 instead of a 5 mod 30 damage total reduced to 15.)
To all those spectating two ethereal copies of Urzok appear around Torq and attack in tandem with Urzok. The top layer of thin snow creates a haze around the dueling warriors and from the looks of it they appear to be evenly matched, so far.

Torq, partially confused by the banter, has his hammer parried away by Urzok but Torq's third attack strikes into the specter and it vanishes into the air. As soon as the specter vanishes, you see one of Urzok's wounds begin to heal as he gains: 12 temporary HP. Urzok smiles at your response and as he makes his attacks says, "Dranosh was a great warrior. A general reduced to a mere pawn." Urzok's first attack slams into you chest pushing you back a step. On his second attack his grip slips from the cold and his axe slides loose from his grasp and sinks into the ground next to you. The remaining specter slashes at your back cutting away feathers. You block his next attack with your hammer pushing it just out of reach of your shoulder but Urzok turns his axe and shifts the momentum to make an uppercut and gashes your leg.

The name doesn't ring any bells. Your first two attacks are clumsy due to your distracted state and you drop your hammer similar to Urzok. The hammer lands in the snow and immediately begins to melt the surrounding snow. After seeing how badly you missed, you refocus and manage to cut into Urzok's thigh. He still seems to be taking the damage with a smile on his face. You both take a free action to grab your dropped weapons while keeping an eye on your opponent. Quickly springing back into the fray Urzok's specter begins the assault then Urzok jumps in trying to seize an opportune moment. "He commanded hundreds and saved thousands including my own life once. He had a wife and daughter." Urzok shouts, his voice now bellowing out across the meadow. You see the fire and lightning damage from each blow cause his body to tense and miss his third attack but he continues hacking away feathers and flesh fighting through the pain.
Urzok opens his mouth to respond just as he is hit by a haymaker hammer blow from Torq. Spittle and blood paint the snow to the side of the fighters. Torq follows through with a second hammer blow to the leg and a cutting blow to the abdomen. Urzok looks damaged but still full of fight left. He spits blood from his mouth and says, "Not bad but Dranosh will be avenged!" he shouts and unleashes a barrage of attacks as he burns his second action surge. The onslaught of attacks is devastating. His first attack slams into your shoulder breaking your damaged collar bone. Almost simultaneously the specter buries its axe into your back cutting deep into your wing. Urzok swings both axes as if chopping down a tree and both cut into your side leaving bloody gashes across your chest and stomach. The specter hits you again in the wing then Urzok finishes his flurry with a combination of three rapid strikes lacerating your wings and arm.
Attacks: 1829211827131213 (I forgot these would be at advantage. I will pair them together and roll 4 more attacks. The damage rolls will remain the same unless there is another crit. 1st: 20, 2nd: 28, 3rd: 28, 4th: 30 crit.)
Sorry for my absence. I was out on vacation almost all last week camping and then this weekend was crazy and I am catching up on work. I hope to be able to post soon.

(Ouchies)
Torq doesn't reply he just does his best to remain upright and continue fighting. Seeing urzok actually hurt bolsters Torq and he will again attack recklessly.

(No worries Mucor)
Torq's slams his hammer into Urzok's chest sending a small spray of blood into the air. The second blow breaks two ribs but Urzok spurs past the pain and continues his attacks saying, "The Lightbringers turned him over to the mages to be nothing more than a test subject." Urzok retaliates burying his axe into your chest breaking ribs. His specter attempts to cut into your back but you anticipate the attack and dodge. Urzok once again raises both axes to strike together and they cut deep into your flesh carving away feathers.
Everyone else: You watch the brawl rage on between these seemingly equal opponents and can tell that both are nearing the end. The snow around them is a mix of brown and red from the blood and constant maneuvering. The numerous wounds sustained by both would have killed most many times over. It is truly a testament to their strength of stamina and will. The orcs beyond remain silent watching this battle of titans.
Aryn and Mucor- you can see that some orcs display signs of concern while others admiration. All seem to be enjoying the fight.

(Xtra, would Torq know this Dranosh guy is the same orc who survived and helped save all the other orcs from Daegon's spell? I can't remember if we ever got his name.)
Torq is confused a bit by this new information. He thinks he might know who Urzok is referring to but shakes his head pushing the thought away for now and focuses on surviving.
(Though he didn't give his name, you would assume they are one in the same.)
Your hammer smashes against against Urzok's face sending a chunk of tooth flying. You swing again and catch Urzok in the side. You see him cough up a large amount of blood but just as you bring your axe down towards his head the specter teleports in front of the blow and vanishes as you cut through it. You see Urzok's wounds heal slightly and a smile comes across his face. "You fought well bird... I can see why so many fear you." Urzok says through labored breathing and conjures two more specters in on either side of him then the two unleash a barrage of attacks.

"No" Torq replies in his mind to Jinara then continues so everyone in the group can hear him in their minds, "If I lose I lose. You can heal me if I go down but not before."
"Your brother helped save the world. He's still alive and well." Torq says barely able to stand. He'll put all he's got into the next three attacks.
The revelation of his brother's health stuns Urzok and with each of your attacks you see his smile widen despite the terrible damage being done. You fracture his femur with your hammer causing him to stagger a step back before he catches his footing. Your hammer slams into his chest breaking more ribs and sending a large spray of blood in your face. He hunches over and your axe cleaves off a hunk of flesh from his back. Urzok breathes in slowly and you hear a sickening gurgling sound from one or two collapsed lungs and says, "Then I will see him again... but you won't." and with the thread of life still remaining in him he lunges towards you in combination with his specters and attacks.
Attacks: 28232125
Damage: 7121412
The right specter's slashes open your abdomen causing blood to seep from the wound. Urzok swings but you bend to grab your insides and duck below his axe that could've taken your head off. The left specter's axe hits you in the back and you hear a sickening crunch and feel a flood of pain in your wing. The two of your stand tottering back and forth both hanging onto life by the thinnest of margins. Urzok cries out, "Mak'gora!" and swings his axe in an uppercut motion that catches you square in the chest. Flames and arcs of electricity travel down the handle and char Urzok.
Torq- the sky above you is beautiful, the pain seems to subside and you feel a heavy force lift you into the air and for a split second you are weightless above the snow. The sensation is nice and you're exhausted. You think it would be okay to stay like this for a while. Your eyes roll back in your head as you fall to the ground unconscious. (21 damage total)
Everyone else- Urzok's blow sends Torq flying back 5 feet and you watch as both warriors fall silently on their backs into the snow.
(What do you do? Torq and Urzok are 80 feet away and the Orcs are 200ft away from your current location.)

Torq!
To all those spectating two ethereal copies of Urzok appear around Torq and attack in tandem with Urzok. The top layer of thin snow creates a haze around the dueling warriors and from the looks of it they appear to be evenly matched, so far.
(Dang. You got this Torq!)
(I hope so.)
Torq will reply, "What?" and attack Urzok with his first two attacks then the right specter with his third attack.

Aryn unconsciously grabs Mucor's hand while the fight goes on in front of her. "This guy is pretty tough."
Do I remember that name? 14 (I don't know what to add)
Torq thinks while he gets hit and refocuses his attacks on Urzok after seeing him heal. (I'm contemplating whether to start going reckless.)

"What are you talking about?" Torq asks. After getting hit repeatedly Torq decides to ignore the words and focus solely on surviving this battle.
Urzok opens his mouth to respond just as he is hit by a haymaker hammer blow from Torq. Spittle and blood paint the snow to the side of the fighters.
