GB is still busily attaching the ropes to the bridge. He's got one length attached now, and he's working on the other two. This is the easy part. (5 rounds left for the bridge to be functional)
Lana's arrow seems to magically bend ever so slightly and sticks the lead orc in the eye, embedding itself far into his skull. The warrior drops to the floor.
// Looks like my last post didn't get posted..apologies... //
The orcs behind the lead orc have nowhere to go, and one of them tries clumsily to lean forward and throw his javelin at Aregarak (who gains a +5 cover bonus to AC)—Attack: 18 Damage: 6
// ok so if I get +5 to my AC that misses then //
Aregarak will roar with anger as the first axe hit him and then rage (1/3) and advance on the next orc he can see, leading the way with his greataxe
[Greataxe: 15 Damage: 7]
and if that orc is still alive (or if not the next one within 10 feet of me) he'll point his finger at them and use
[Storm Fury (Sea) Damage: 7 DEX save DC 12 – ½ damage on save]

Aregarak ducks through the dwarven secret door and advances on the orcs (Dex Save 18) and unleashes his fury on the orc in his way, and the slippery orc manages to avoid getting his head chopped off and dodges some of the electrical energy from his Storm Fury.
// Aregarak is taking up the passageway. This will make it difficult for Bel and Lana to hit with ranged weapons, and impossible to hit the orcs with melee weapons, unless those weapons have a reach of more than 5'—or unless you want to try and push past him and also make an opposed Athletics check to push the orcs back and up the stairs. //
Lana cringes as she sees the big guy move back into the passageway. "Now that is going to be hard and not a good way to keep them on the run!" she screams at Aregarak as she tries to find some line of sight.
// It's the orcses turn...been working on a way to include Oddlot's new character, so stay tuned there! //
The orcs push forward against Aregarak, roaring their guttural war cries. The new lead orc draws his greataxe and pushes ahead, his friends behind him—Strength (Athletics) 14
To avoid getting pushed back and letting the orcs out, Aregarak must hold fast! // Please roll your own Strength (Athletics) check, Aregarak //
// You have Advantage on all Strength checks and saving throws when raging. Also it looks like you have proficiency in Athletics, so +6 all around :) //
Aregarak holds his ground, using his superior strength and magical gauntlets to push against the orcs.
// Players are up! The orcs are still bottled up in the stairwell, pushing against Aregarak to little avail. What is Lana doing, and how is Bel helping GB? //
// And now you can all take your turns! //

Lana see her advantage as the orc hit Aregarak and lets her arrow lose that she had ready to fire before casting her eleven spell upon him.
Attack 25 if Hit 11

Bel tries to make his way past the big guy using all his acrobatic skills but just couldn’t do it in this small space.
Acrobatics 5
Bel decides it might be better to see if he can help GB in anyway.

Bel is unable to maneuver past the orcs, and thankfully the orc hasn't yet had the time to ready his greataxe. He withdraws towards the rope bridge.

Lana sits back waiting and yelling at Aregarak to get out of the way so she can get a shot off.
