With a satisfied grin, Dreggan watched as the trolls and goblins were dispatched. At least Matt's technique was improving and Vanelee provided some additional long range back up.
With only 4 orcs remaining, the thief decided to vary his approach. Sheathing his sais, he leaped off the branch and landed a jumping side kick to one of the orcs. Using its head as leverage, he then changed direction and planted his knee in another orc, followed by a split-sweep that sent them both down. They were still alive, but dazed and knocked to the ground.
A third orc was about to land an axe to Dreggan's head, but his hand was blocked by the thief's foot, who had brought his leg up to parry. The surprised orc looked down at the "puny" human, trying without success to push his weapon down. Seeing that the other orc still standing up was charging both him and his comrade, Dreggan yelled out to Vanelee:
"Well? What are you waiting for? Take him out so I can move !"
