It wasn’t the most pleasant of trips, but at least they were going to arrive at their destination. With Mr. Dark ‘valiantly’ laying amongst the trap, Kaemgen’s able to recover quickly and continue his way up the stairs. Auric soon followed, carefully watching his feet as he makes his ascent. Then he’d provide a nod on the way by as he steps on Dark’s coat to pass without dirtying his scales.
Reaching the top of the steps, Kaemgen would find an unconscious orc there at the base of the window. He wasn’t dead, but he was sure knocked the **** out. Then slowly looking up from the splayed orc, straight ahead across the hall and through the doorway he’d be met with eyes. They were staring right at Kaemgen, or through him? It was hard to tell. But there was no doubt about it. It was the cow.
“Now what the blazin’s going on out hurr!?” The door of the room next to the cow whips open and you are greeted by a large orc in some stained tighty whiteys. His eyes go wide, locking on to Kaemgen.
Click. Squeak. Click. Squeak.

“Oh, hi! You ARE home! You see our cow wandered off and we thought we’d just slip in and kill some orcs…” Kaemgen says, drawing his weapons and eyeballing the closest. He’s mildly embarrassed by his lame attempt at witty repartee, but they’re orcs. They wouldn’t appreciate a smart rejoinder if you stapled it to a carp and slapped them with it.
Mr.Dark rolls to his feet, stinking of offal and looking fully embarrassed. He glares at the orc. Or is he glaring at the cow? It's tough to say which at this point.
He looks around for his hand crossbow so he can pick it up and shoot something.

Kaemgen rushes down the hallway. He turns to look at the cow and tells it to "Moose back!" before moving past and rushing to the far side or Orc B & C to give others room to move in and attack. As he moves past he takes a swing with his hammer at one, a swipe with the axe at the other. (Not moving out of combat with them, just on the B5 side of them...)

With the way the man held those weapons, she moosed back alright. Daisy ducked her snoot. Kaemgen rushes passed to impose himself in the hallway swinging axe and hammer at the first two orcs. The orc in his whiteys dipped back, casually avoiding the axe swing. He'd stand back upright to witness the man ram his hammer into the wall adjacent. Was Tymora messing with them? The orc would snort.

The Og in the far back heaves his well worn hammer over his shoulder. Grinning wickedly with a smile only a mother could love, he'd salivate as he'd tilt his head back to let out a battle cry. He'd kick off, charging down the hallway straight for Kaemgen.

Dark rushes to the top of the stairs, bits of cow poop falling from his cloak and a rather unpleasant stench wafting up in his wake. At the top, he looks down at the orcs all along the hallway and says, "Okay then. I guess we're doing this."
He fires his hand crossbow at the Orc that Kaemgan had run past (Ob), quickly reloading it, and firing again.

As fierce as he smelled, Mr. Dark positions himself in the hallway and fires off two shots in calculated succession. They expertly whizz by Kaemgen's head to strike the orc in each eye socket. As if in shock, the body stood for a moment before collapsing backward.
Sniff. Sniff. If a cow could swoon, she was. 'Daisy' batted her unfocused eyes and nuzzled at Mr. Dark's elbow.

Oi sees it getting crowded in the hallway. It'd take a moment for the wheels to turn, but eventually the orc would decide to take a different route. Grabbing his axe, he heads down the stairs to the porch(B2) to make his way to the dining room(B3).

Nova skips into town humming a tune to herself, note still pinned to her gear. She passes by a group of adventurers heading into the Lionshield Coaster and continues towards the Townmaster's Hall. Reaching the door she raps on it to her own little beat, for her own amusement. She rocks up and down on the balls of her feet while she waits. She'd hear shuffling, but no answer. "Hello? I know you're there!" The druid bobs up to try to look into the peep hole herself. "Hellooooooo!?"
"What is it this time Nova?" Came the Townmaster's voice.
"I have an important message!"
"A peanut butter shortage is not important."
"Yes it is!" Nova would chime right back getting briefly distracted. "But that was yesterday's problem... I have a new one!" She'd remember.
"I don't have time for your shenanigans." He'd slam the peephole shut.
"I'm serious! It's important!"
"No, Nova." She'd hear his footsteps walk away.
Nova pouts as she's left standing there. "I'm not crying wolf though..." She folds her arms and plops down crisscross applesauce on the spot. "Fine. I'll figure it out myself..." She mutters to herself.

Auric straddles the unconscious orc at the top of the stairs and hurls a blast of energy down the hall. It crackles passed both Dark and Kaemgen crashing into Orc. It sends him hurling backwards, landing at Of's feet.

Oe moves forward to poke his head out of the room just as Oc lands. With a grunt he looks up. Seeing just enough room to squeeze through, he charges down the hall to attack the first man.
