Seviari readies an action to shoot as soon as the guard, Torem, can approach and help him (for sneak attack!).
The orcs start to run towards the bridge, and Solace takes her readied action now that her target is in range, firing a crossbow bolt and trying to catch the orc before it jumps up onto the bridge. Attack: 8 Damage: 2

The orc continues despite the punishing damage from Solace, and hops up onto the bridge—18—where he carefully stabilizes himself and looks to the north, ready to invade the village with his comrades.
As the rest of the orcs all rushed towards the bridge, Torem the guard joined Seviari and the two of them aimed at the orc chieftan to take him down. 14 Damage: 6
// New round! The orcs are at the bridge and will start climbing up next round, and the guards are all rushing to get within range and defend their town. Players are free to act...this is where it gets real. //
Flint casts sacred flame on the orc Solace just hit with her crossbow. DEX DC 12 or 6 radiant damage. Flint makes a mental note of the direction the current is flowing.
// OOC - question for the DM... Did Grease go off as I had hoped? If so, the orc at the bridge would be in the lower left square of the four square area of grease. He'd need to make a DC 13 DEX save or fall prone and the area is considered to be difficult terrain. //
Ink moves ten feet due east, allowing him a better view of the opening between the keep and the town. He readies the cantrip Fire Bolt to be shot at the first non-prone threat to emerge into/out of the opening. However, if he gets the feeling his spell will be expended without going off {//OOC in other words, if his turn is about to circle back again and he hadn't fired the cantrip yet//}, hell let loose on the closest threat he sees. Ink stands at the ready, scimitar and rod in hand.
Marav stabs one blade up through the orcs stomach lifting him from the ground as the other blade slices his throat. The orc silently slides to the ground off of Maravs swords.

The prone orc on the bridge tries to avoid the holy fury 9, but takes the full brunt of the spell. He topples off the bridge and rolls down the embankment towards the moat, joining the other orc bodies that are gently bobbing along in a southerly direction.

Who's next he growls in orcish.
// Do you use your move to get close to the entrance where the orcs are trying to come in? This will put you close to Rip. //

The orcs begin scrambling up the sides bridge.
// I'm rolling off-site for this (just less cumbersome) and all but one orc failed their save! This means that the orcs will not get an attack this turn, as they've spent their entire move, action, and bonus action just getting to you. //
One by one, each orc leaps onto the bridge and then falls on his face or back. One of them, in a rare intelligent move, grabbed onto one of his fallen comrades and used him as a brace by which to climb up. This one ran with all his effort towards Ink, while the last of the orcs who had fallen simply crawled off the greased bridge and onto safe ground.
Around the east side, the smaller orc party of four reappears and rushes screaming towards the bridge.
Seviari takes aim at the furthest orc as it closes with Rip and Marav. Shortbow Attack: 8 Damage: 8. His shot goes wide.
The guards, Kaelen and Sydiri, move to intercept the orc, firing their crossbows one last time and and killing the orc in front of Marav before pulling out their spears and standing in between Ink and the orc.
Alara, the third guard, also takes a shot with her crossbow. She puts down the Orc rushing towards Ink:
Crossbow Attack: 17 Damage: 7
Beedo the goblin aims for the orc that is running towards Rip and Marav, landing on arrow in the warrior's hide-armored chest:
Shortbow Attack: 22 Damage: 6, and then hides behind the hay bales once more: 24
Seeing that the orcs are ignoring the keep, Solace crosses the divide. Torem the guard and Solace both take aim for the orcs just inside Nightstone. Their bolts hit, but their targets keep running.
//Just realized that after my movement due east by 10' I'd have line of sight on the orc standing at the cusp between the bridge and the town. Not sure if he's still standing, but I'll take my shot (that'll be a miss more than likely) if he is (i.e. if he's not prone).//
// New round! Players are free to go in whatever order they choose. I'll continue to act for Seviari in this scene until such a time as BriceJTodd rejoins us. //
As you whittle down the orcs, more come, threatening in orcish to tear you limb from limb. The war chief yells, "Kill them all!"

// Forgot to mention, yes, the firebolt missed :) whiffed into distance. //
