You charge, Dara just behind you. But somehow, there are more orcs than you thought possible! Dara shoots more arrows, then gets drawn into a melee nearby. Further off, Bruno is yelling, his dog barking frantically.
Somehow, orc reinforcements arrived.
Now you’re surrounded by three orcs, huge ferocious-looking brutes with jagged swords. One has fresh burns from the fire.
You step back once, finding yourself backed against a tree. You parry a blow, and duck another; an orc which swung high finds his blade stuck in the trunk.
The third nearly runs you through, but you jink to the side.
