"Oh poor Cackie! I know he seems useless now everyone but I just know Cackie is going to pull something amazing out the bag" said Elfa.
"Gregolas you look like you're all fine and I know, Lei-Tana is helping Cackie so I am also going to help". Elfa looked at Cackie on the floor, what has turned this poor Monk to drink she thought. Maybe we can try and solve this on our journey, he may be finding himself just like me.
MEDICINE TO CACKIE 7"we need to get Cackie up to full pace else he is really going to slow us down, we need to be realistic and we cannot keep getting delayed by Gregolas & Cackie getting knocked unconscious"
Elfa was friendly and got on with most people however when she needed to be determined she would not hold back on leading the pack.

The potion heals Cackie 7 HP and he wakes up in a choking fit as the magical fluid runs down his throat. There is nothing else of note in your current room.
You appear to have explored every corner of the temple; what do you want to do now?
Lei-Tana looks at Cackie, glad he's now concious, and says to the group "It seems there is no more to discover here, and we've now warned the dwarves.... shall we head back to the mayor and advise of the outcome?"

"It's about time! Let's go, I'm hungry" Thunderfist grew impatient whilst waiting for Cackie to stop loafing around, booting some of the leftover rubble across the room in frustration.
And with that Thunderfist walked out of the room to make his way back out of the temple and back to the mayor to get his reward.
As he exited, he kept his eyes peeled, just in case there were any Indiana Jones-esque giant boulders laying in wait, or traps similar to that effect.
Like a honey badger awakening 12 hours after devouring a poisonous snake, Cackie springs to life as if nothing had happened. The blast that was powerful enough to knock him unconcious was fortunately not enough to displace his cobweb hairdo.
He dusts himself down and follows the group out of the temple, towards Phandalin and hopefully some beer.
You exit the temple into daylight - it is barely past midday and yet you have achieved so much already.
Dazlyn and Norbus are thrilled that you can finally declare the temple clear, and touchingly happy that you all emerged alive - although Dazlyn does fret and fuss over Cackie's numerous wounds. Norbus nods in appreciation to you: "We'll just make a preliminary inspection so that we can plan our full excavation when it is safe to return; then we can pack our gear and be on our way back to Phandalin. Thank you for the warning friends, we-"
He is cut short by a cry of angry surprise to the west. Looking in the direction of its origin you see three orcshave emerged through the broken gates and into the courtyard. They have seen you and dropped their kit bags, unslinging javelins and greataxes to engage. You're in for one more fight before you can be on your way...

Initiative 10
Cackie feels he is too old for this shit. "Dazlyn, Norbus, I confess I have not done battle with orcs before. Are you aware of any weaknesses we can exploit? Help us out here and I will speak of your wisdom when we return to Phandalin"
A strand of his cobweb wig dangled in to his mouth, immediately drying out his tongue. He was pretty sure he could.feel something crawl inside.
His powers had not been obvious to the party up until this point, the reason he insisted on keeping hold of this giant clump of cobweb even less obvious. However he is a master of disguise. Cackie rubs the cobwebs all over his body, spreads out his arms and legs and begins to crawl like a spider, a stealth tactic he learnt at Pih Sed. He hoped to get a closer look at the orcs without being spotted and prepared a sneak attack.
(Lei-Tana you didn’t add your +2 DEX to your initiative roll so I have added this for you)
Seizing the initiative, Orc 3 darts forward and hurls his javelin at Cackie before taking cover behind the well: Attack: 19 Damage: 9
Orc 2 also advances, branching south slightly and vaulting the low ruined walls as he goes, before stopping in the open and throwing a javelin at Thunderfist: Attack: 16 Damage: 5
Thunderfist’s javelin arcs through the air and looks set to strike Orc 1, but he dodges at the last moment ant the deadly steel lance clatters into the ground beyond him.
Lei-Tana practically yells her incantation as she draws her hand back and snaps it forward in the direction of Orc 3. the fire bolt flies true and blasts him square in the chest (-4hp)
Human spiderweb Cackiebursts forward in a move that is both silent and deadly, reaching Orc 2 just after the pig-faced attacker has loosed his javelin at Thunderfist (you can still use your action and bonus action to attack if you wish; post your rolls and I will include them in this turn, or advise if you want your movement to end elsewhere)
Elfafires her crossbow at the distant orc but the bolt flies high and wide; she moves up to cover so as to present a harder target to any incoming attacks.
Orc 1 sprints forward (and uses his Dash action) to cover the ground between him and the party. Covered by his colleagues’ attacks, he reaches the high wall and takes cover behind it.

Edit: orc javelin attacks should have been at disadvantage due to range. ThunderFist was missed anyway, so just a reroll for Cackie (lowest score counts): 18
(Both javelin attacks by the orcs miss, Cackie can still post action(s) for the turn just gone and everyone can post their next turn now).
Dazlyn and Norbus cower in whatever cover they can find, and answer the question "Orcs can only be beaten one way - stab 'em! Or slash 'em! Or burn 'em! Just get 'em!"
This mission is doomed... Lei-Tana thinks to herself... And does a medicine check for the unconscious one..
Medicine check: 20
Lei-Tana manages to stabilise the slumbering monk; he will awake with 1hp in one hour unless healed with a spell or potion.

"Well that was a close one!" Exclaimed Thunderfist whilst pulling the few shards that caught him out of his skin.
He gave Cackie a kick to see if he could rouse the unconscious monk but there was little response.
Thunderfist pulled out his potion of healing and chugged it down. 8
"Can someone wake this idiot up?" He looked at the elves to see if they could help.
"Oh poor Cackie! I know he seems useless now everyone but I just know Cackie is going to pull something amazing out the bag" said Elfa.
"Gregolas you look like you're all fine and I know, Lei-Tana is helping Cackie so I am also going to help". Elfa looked at Cackie on the floor, what has turned this poor Monk to drink she thought. Maybe we can try and solve this on our journey, he may be finding himself just like me.

Elfa was friendly and got on with most people however when she needed to be determined she would not hold back on leading the pack.
Lei-Tana remembers she still has her healing potion from the dwarves, so administers this to Cackie...
"Be careful Cackie... these potions don't grow on trees!"
The potion heals Cackie 7 HP and he wakes up in a choking fit as the magical fluid runs down his throat. There is nothing else of note in your current room.

Elfa skipped after everyone who looked ready to go. What a challenging day she thought! Can't wait for th next one.

Thunderfist's day went from bad to worse, he hated orcs even more than dwarves and they were in the way of his lunch.
Thunderfist pulled out his javelin and launched it at orc 1

Elfa springs up into action! Orcs she thinks, dull and slow... you know what's to quick too dodge. My bows.
"Lets get ready everyone, and remember it's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get up! and GREAT SHOT Lei-Tana"

Elfa shoots her cross bow into Orc 2 aiming for the head. She then runs 3 squares forward and one to the right to hide behind the wall.
