Deal with the vanguard

Lauran smiles happy to heard you've taken her advice, as you order your forces to attack the guards. While you and the sleek bard move to engage the vanguard, who sneers at you approach and waves her minions away. Plainly she wanted to pleasure of crushing you all for herself, Lauran quickly takes a rousing battle hymn to fortify you. Suddenly you feel a surge of strength from the bards magic, just as the vanguard charges in to attack. Her speed in amazing and you realize that just a day ago you would have been killed instantly by her attack.

However you are not the lone weak outcast orc any longer, and Lauran's song is effecting more than just you. As the snarling vanguard moves in to attack her movements slow ever so slightly, even as yours speed up a lot more. Using the great woodsmen's axe you block her first attacks, slowly forcing her to circle around you wasting strength and stamina. While you stand your ground moving only to defend, this is not something that would have ever have accrued to you before. Again and again she attacks only to be blocked, you take a little damage of course. But even now you can feel the healing magic being cast at you from a distance, and can't help but smile broadly. With out your human companions you would have long since been dead, as you realize this a sense of wicked satisfaction races through you. And in that second you feel a magical thrill tingle, knowing that your have gain a powerful new ability.

Jack’s axe – A large wood cutting axe that has been honed to a good edge with loving care, its extra size means that it takes extra strength to wield over a normal wood cutting axe but if and when it hits, it hits hard. +60 damage

\============================================================/

Slowly you lick your lips while fending off the vanguards increasingly wild and **** swings. "I'm going to enjoy breaking you." You grunt teasingly at the angry sweating vanguard, while batting aside her next slow attack swing to land a massive attack of your own. Shockingly it's the first aggressive move you've made this whole battle, it takes her by surprise and sends her staggering backwards.

"In your dreams monster." She shouts defiantly, but you can tell by the look in her eyes that she is frightened and perhaps more than a little excited by the idea of her own defeat. Sensing your chance you release you Orc Rage abilities, roaring as you spring into action swinging that massive axe in unceasing attack. Now it's the vanguards turn to try and block your attacks, but her exhaustion is making her movements even slower. Only her heavy metal armor is saving her from being cleaved in two, at last you hook the blade of the woodsmen's axe over the shaft of that Naginata and rip it out of her hands. "Uhu gods!" She swears weakly drawing her dagger, but it's a pitiful weapon and you both know it. "Die!" She screams diving towards you with all the speed and strength she has left... it's not enough. Using the handle of your axe you smack her across the side of her helmeted head, and batter her into unconsciousness. Roaring in triumph you glance around, stunned to seen that the fighting is over and the town is yours. Strolling over you pick of the priced Naginata, watching as it transforms into The legendary dark Naginata in your hands.
