Gameplay

Hold on folks, we are getting ahead of ourselves.

The combat procedure is this:

> Declare spells and melee movement (we are here)
Initiative: Each side rolls 1d6.
Winning side acts:
Monster morale
Movement
Missile attacks
Spell casting
Melee attacks
Other sides act: In initiative order.

'Melee movement' only refers to retreats and fighting withdrawals (n/a this round as no PCs are in melee yet)

It's clear now that nobody wants to cast any spells, so we can proceed to initiative
(highest roll goes first, PCs win if it's a tie)

The PCs go first, so I'll take your actions as posted.

Only weapons marked as 'reload' in the weapon list take a turn to reload. I believe crossbows are the only one. So there's no problem attacking with a sling every round.

Ulrich and Sen Malor pelt the large orc with stones. The orc winces in pain, the distraction creating an opening for Gromli to score a deep stab in the creature's flank.

Freki, Ghardak and Grymmal close in on the orc, not quite reaching melee range.

Outnumbered and badly wounded, the orc turns and flees towards the doors, yelling desperately! In a flash it is through the doors and turns right, moving out of view.

Start of round 3

> Declare spells (for Dalomdûmir and Sen Malor)

Once any spellcasting has been delcared, we can move on to initiative and other actions.

Or, if you decide not to pursue the orc, we can drop out of combat time.
Note: there are still sleeping orc on the floor.

Initiative!

The orc is out of view, but is leaving a clear blood trail and is making plenty of noise. You can hear him stomping and yelling in his flight.

For reference, this is a rough map of what had been explored up until the beginning of this round.
