Check the Death Auras, then run at both of them.

Gather them all up. Level drain them en masse with a Heightened Circle of Death. Then, Wail of the Banshee. Chain Lightning the stragglers.

junior_w Says: September 30th, 2011 at 6:32 pm

I could use Otto’s Sphere of Dancing. While the Orthons are dancing I jump to the cliff and use a scroll of teleport and hope to the spell not fail.

desertbuttons Says: September 30th, 2011 at 6:38 pm

I dismiss the orthons dismissively.

bkasavan Says: September 30th, 2011 at 6:48 pm

I would jump.

Lycinda Says: September 30th, 2011 at 7:16 pm

Since I have fire resistance, I’d call down fire on them and watch them burn. If necessary, I can jump into the lava and swim away.

Although, I’m wondering why I let myself be trapped on the edge of a cliff in the first place.

Haste! Rage! Gold-seal Cleric! CHARGE!

Dark_Helmet Says: September 30th, 2011 at 8:14 pm

I open a Store out of mid air to buy a full set of +3 tomes and consume them, fire immunity potion, 2 paladin hirelings, 2 Clerics, 2 Fvs, 2 Wizards, 2 Sorcerers , 1 Rogue, Trinket of Warding vs. Devils, a potion of greater healing that lasts 10 minutes, Bracers of Divine Intervention, a +5 Greater Orthon slayer (to look good while I pretend to swing), and start watching TV while I click once in awhile.

Oh yeah, +5 loot buff as well.

Midnightetak Says: September 30th, 2011 at 8:41 pm

Turn to face them and step foward to greet them. You think they would have learnt from the first time by now, or the many times after that they were beaten by the residents of Stormreach.

Bradik_Losdar Says: September 30th, 2011 at 9:10 pm

Taunt the Orthons until they became enraged enough to charge me. Then jump clean over their heads causing the entire mass to fall “300″ style into the burning sea of lava, kicking the last one over the edge as I land for style points.

The shock of the move confusing them so much they forget they can teleport, allowing me an easy but oh-so-flambyant escape.

rawrketties Says: September 30th, 2011 at 9:34 pm

Stand my ground and cut down as many of them as I can, and when I reach about 25% health jump off the cliff and fire resist myself in the air.

knightgf Says: September 30th, 2011 at 9:57 pm

I shall embrace my dreams, and, whatever I do, protect my honor…as a barbarian! *Unsheaves Greatsword, rages and charges at orthons* Come and get some!

Die, most likely

az4a3l Says: September 30th, 2011 at 10:48 pm

I put a recording of bart simpson saying *eat my shorts* and use a simple banish on them.

Kydrou Says: October 1st, 2011 at 12:22 am

Use Dumb Logic.

1.- 1 Ninja > Multiple Ninjas.
2.- Ninjas Teleport themselves, so Orthons must be Ninjas too.
3.- If One looks like a Ninja, then it must be one.
4.- Equip Ninja Mask. Take 2 Katana-design Longsword. I’m Immortal until only 1 Orthon stands. Bluff or Feint Attack. Use Solid Fog clicky. Hide. Assassinate.

Hakushi Says: October 1st, 2011 at 12:29 am

An army of Orthons is coming, and they havn’t teleported to me, either it’s an illusion, friendly Orthons or they havn’t seen me. I hide in shadows and walk away.

Tajuh Says: October 1st, 2011 at 1:30 am

Ask them what took so long. They may be union, but that doesn’t mean they’re any better than the Kobolds I usually have for mining or taking over small countries.

…what? I may be a dictator, but I have schedules to follow. Plus, the proceeds go towards helping abandoned puppies.

das9981 Says: October 1st, 2011 at 4:53 am

Use my bracelet of friends to teleport my raid group to me and face the orthons. Rupert acts as a meetwall and kills as much as possible, I command the lava to rise up from the sea of lava and shower my enemies with the boiling liquid. I enchant my party members fire resistance, somehow deying physics as there resistance goes way over 1.000,000,000,000… and they all charge forward to destroy the melting Orthons. Soon after the glorious battle there is only me and Kilandra the Rogue left. We return to stormreach and hit the local tavern. As we go to our rooms fo the night 3 Orthons suddenly teleport behind us and kill kilandra. Rage overcomes me and i cause a huge explosion, causing all life, except me, within a 5 mile radius to melt instantly. And that is how i escaped. But where dare the rest of Orthons go and where did that 3 come from…

Will they seek revenge.

Ukrutor Says: October 1st, 2011 at 5:43 am

Jump, what else.

karl_k0ch Says: October 1st, 2011 at 6:33 am

Sing a song to Inspire my Herosim and Courage.
Haste and Displace.
Take my favorite shield, namely a Light & Darkness knock-off.
Shield-block for initial wave, then start killing them with my Dwarven Waraxe, singing songs of Glory, Battle and Slaughter.

Leiton Says: October 1st, 2011 at 10:54 am

I’d pull out that Scroll of Teleport I carry in case of emergency and hope my UMD roll is high enough. Let’s see if those Orthons feel brave enough to follow me into Meridia…

Plattt Says: October 1st, 2011 at 11:23 am

What would I do???

Well most my characters are way to squishy to take on the army of Orthons.

Option 1: hide on the cliff for the army to pass.
Option 2: Form a party on lvl 20’s to take them out for me (as I hide)
Option 3: (most likely the correct one) recall to tavern and tell tales of my brave and great battles with Orthons, teasures and victories over a brew.

leemonchupao Says: October 1st, 2011 at 2:56 pm

Tomaria mi Holy Great Sword, miraria con determinacion a la horda de Orthons y usando hasta la minima gota de fuerza de mi cuerpo me internaria en la batalla mas epica de todos los tiempos.

Grenada Says: October 1st, 2011 at 3:34 pm

Panic!

Also: Not in the face!

f3rrus Says: October 1st, 2011 at 4:02 pm

1. Draw my sword.
2. Draw “Ortons army running” painting.
3. …
4. Profit!

Evennote Says: October 1st, 2011 at 4:37 pm

There are lots of brave and heroic things I’d like to THINK I’d do, all of which end with me standing triumphantly atop a pile of dead Orthons while the lava bubbles in the background. But in reality…

I’d try to jump over them and run away screaming like the girl I am, but on the slim chance I managed to jump past the whole horde, they’d probably catch me pretty quickly. Since I tend not to learn from my mistakes, I’d then try intimidating them so they’d come after me and leave my hireling alone so he could try to keep me healed… except my hireling would have long since fallen into the lava and would be a smoldering pile of charred armor by this time.

So yeah. I’d end up as that night’s appetizer at Chez Orthon.

Memnir Says: October 2nd, 2011 at 12:45 am

I’d /laugh at the Orthon horde - then log out.

Tom_Hunters Says: October 2nd, 2011 at 5:29 am

Buy an Airship Beacon from the DDO Store and get out of there!

Veriden Says: October 2nd, 2011 at 12:58 pm

Challenge their lawful nature by presenting a philosophic ideal on why they should withdraw from the situation for if just a few thousand orthans could corner just one guy to a deadly situation their efforts could be better used to quell the attacks of demons and celestials at their front doors in shavarath, that with out their help their general would be endanger and the power vacuum would induce massive chaos giving their enemies the perfect time to strike. When they turned their backs to leave I’d do a victory dance.

Rothos Says: October 3rd, 2011 at 1:15 am

Make sure i have Liche form on, activate Death Aura. Then stare at them with my burning red eyes, Intimidating them into attacking me. As they gather, a balanced dish of Negitive Energy Burst, Circle of Death, and maybe a Wailing Banshee or two (if im feeling cruel) and then i proceed to loot the corpses, once again secure in my caster supremacy.

Marupal Says: October 3rd, 2011 at 3:17 pm

Summon a beholder, tell him to use telekinesis …a lot, hand him a fearsome item just in case, then pop an invisibility potion and try to stealth away.

wsung0 Says: October 4th, 2011 at 10:42 pm

pretend they are bears, act dead so they don’t attack you like when you are unconscious
