The Orc group that had been watching the last moments of my battle, leered and grunted happily to each other. There were less of them now, apparently their previous bouts had cost them. They were down to five, but each of them was big. They ranged from ten to fifteen feet tall, and two of them had apparently relieved the human of it's weapons. Upon seeing their other recent acquisitions I cursed the damn Panther again; because of him I didn't get a chance to dispose of the Drow, now their weapons graced Orc hands as well. They all started to spread out, trying to encircle me. These beasts responded to only one thing, violence. Luckily I was more than willing to respond with exactly that. I rushed happily laughing toward their center, forcing their semi circle to collapse in early. It was a temporary sense of happiness, but at my age you take what you can get. I slammed into the two Orcs that were holding the Drow's weapons, they had been the center guard. Lashing into them with a ferocity that they obviously weren't expecting, I turned them into bloody chunks with terrifying speed. The remaining three Orcs were actually taken aback by the display of brutality, which I didn't waste. They fell like dominos, as I hacked and beat them down one by one. I was slamming the hilt of my sword into the face of the last Orc repeatedly, when a blinding pain filled my senses. It spread from the center of my back like molten steel, my brain was being drowned in agony. Poison! I started cleansing my blood with magic as I felt the scaled tail wrap my torso in a vice like grip. "So the Nagga finally shows itself." I thought to myself through the blinding pain.
