S11: Aasgar stands his ground but holds his hands up in a calming gesture... And says in Orc "Whoa, whoa there, young fellow. Let's calm down and talk. We've clearly got you outnumbered and have the larger weapons." And holds his action awaiting a response.

"Ghaer! Help me!" the half-orc shouts angrily.

Begin Round One ...

R1T25: "That's hostile," mutters Imrijika. Using her own knowledge of tactics, she moves forward, going through Aasgar's spot instead of around as she gets out her handaxe and nicks the enemy half-orc's left hand for 4. "Hey, we got a really big wolf on a ledge to the south, by the way."

R1T23: Cici sidesteps to get a better look at the scuffle, and she stares at the half-orc, but he resists her witchery.

R1T18: There is a howling sound to the south. Despite the massive size of this cave, the howl comes from an immensely powerful set of lungs, and reverberates painfully off the old stone.

R1T17: Bariswort begins playing his mournful tune, giving fear's own courage to his friends that they may forestall their approach to the grave, his gravelly deep halfling voice accopmanying his accordion.

R1T13: Another powerful set of howling lungs fights against the basso voice of the halfling bard.

R1T12: The half-orc backs away to the west a little, taking out a heavy bag. "I was there, at the temple, and you never saw me. But this is where your meddling ends!" he snarls as he tosses the bag at Imrijka. She ducks down deep as the satchels sails overhead to the rock behind her, splattering with a resin that then quickly turns to flame before burning itself out.

R1T11: Aasgar, what do you do? Since combat was joined the instant he attacked you, despite your desire to de-escalate, you got your inspiration.
