Orcish Army

Just when Karl was getting his hopes up that the Orcs were going to bypass him entirely and head to the village, the whole column turned in his direction.

[Everyone ready, but don't come out until I give the signal.] He informed his partners.

Rae was busily whispering details of their usual strategy to Cara, so the new team member knew what they would be doing. However, the Void Badger was not the least bit concerned about these cavalry fighters. Or, perhaps, she was simply born without a sense of fear.

Karl stopped trying to hide his presence and brought up [Flaming Body] and [Eternal Lightning] while Thor cast a [Circle of Protection] over him.

None of the skills were threatening ones, and he had no weapon in his hands, but it would alert the incoming cavalry that he wasn't a target they could just run through.

The charge stopped fifty metres away, and one lone Orc dismounted and came jogging towards Karl with a sword in his hand.
