One by one, Auric, KD and Nepharios release their chosen projectile style, successfully piercing each target. Nova waits as patiently as a Nova can. Rocking on the balls of her feet, she watches diligently to make sure no one harms the tree. Meaning Fae, she was waiting for Fae to release her fire. The wizard flicks a bolt of flame towards one of the last remaining dolls. She makes up for last time, piercing it with much better accuracy this time and the doll crackles with flame. Then with one remaining, Nova points to it causing it to crystalize with frost from the inside out.
Nova's ears twitched. Finally, after one last snap, crackle and pop of the dolls, she skips forward towards the tree. Then with a little trot, she throws herself forward and clings to the tree. She gives it a big ol' hug. "You're free now!" She purrs.
Seeing as the druid safely passed beyond the trees root system, Fae takes her steps forward. It was evidence enough for her that the transmutation magic was broken. Auric would be able to confirm this. Striding her way over to one of the wooden dolls, she picks up the one Nova froze. Giving it a bit of a squeeze in her hand, the wood crumbles away to reveal a frozen pigs heart with an icicle pierced through it's core. She presents it to KD. "There's your pig component." Then she looks up to the others. "Shall we then?" Should KD not want it, she'd lob it off to the side. Fae would gesture for Auric to move with her as she moves to continue on their journey. "Auric, if you'd like to assist with leading the way once more." They were losing day light and a trap meant that they weren't alone, besides the two new additions to their party.
"Awe, wait for me!" Nova calls back. "Okay bye for now Mable the maple tree." She nuzzles the tree before she unlatches herself from the innocent tree and drops to the ground, landing softly. With a hum, and pieces of bark all over her face, in her hair, and all over her clothes, the half-elf skips along after the others.
The group continues through the forest for some time. Eventually as the find their way across uneven ground which rise to a ridge, several hulking orcs ascend a similar ridge across from the adventurer's, separated from you by a sixty-foot-wide, ten-foot-deep gully. The orcs unleash terrible battle cries as they are joined by a humanoid with elongated claws. Auric, KD and Hansel would recognize the humanoid figure as an anchorite of Talos.
Initiative Time! (Maybe a little RP, then Roll your initiative and first action)
Orcs (and half-orcs) weren't inherently ugly, in Hansel's opinion. A bit more of a challenge in the salon, perhaps, compared to elves. But these particular specimens were ugly from the inside-out: disheveled, barbarous, ornery, uncultured, uncouth... they certainly didn't look like they would be willing to listen to Sune's 101 top tips for grooming. Glancing around at his companions, new and old, Hansel flicks back his hair, gives his shield a quick polish, and prepares to incant his first prayer to Lady Firehair... These orcs were going to have to learn manners the hard way...
Wait, is that another spot on my shield? Better polish that one too. And one there! How could I have missed that? Any more? Don't forget to tighten the arm-strap. Hair in place... Eyebrows preened... Cheeks pinched... Other cheeks pinched... Cloak free of wrinkles... OK, I'm ready!

With one hand she'd pick up a petrified hallow log, holding it as a shield and with the other she'd pick up a thick bulky stick.

The orcs' battle cries are answered by a deeper guttural roar. The Anchorite of Talos beats his chest in his war cry display, bolstering the orcs' closest to him. Then with a pump of a clawed fist, he commands all fourteen them to charge forward.
Pumped up with adrenaline the orcs act on command. They draw their weapons and charge in full tilt, rushing the battle field to close the gap on their targets. They charge across the ravine and close in to melee range. However the moment the front of the pack emerges from the water within Nova's range, the first orc wails in discomfort as he's wracked with the most intense brainfreeze he's ever experienced.

Fae strides forth between both Nova and Nepharios. She has no shield and holds no weapon. Beneath her breath she chants in the deep dialect of draconic to summon flames. Scarred hands outstretched, she directs flame thrower over the front five orcs within it's flesh searing cone.
Throwing up a Shield to block the attack on him, Autic works another spell quickly as the foes close in. Suddenly, there are four of him (Mirror Image)!
For the moment he stays behind the others forming a front line, but he maneuvers to be able to hopefully next round catch the maximum number of foes in his breath Weapon attack!

The dark Tiefling easily deflects the incoming blow from the savage orc with his black buckler, then swiftly uttering a curse over his assailant before retaliating with his black blade humming with arcane energies, sending it in a wide arc against the orc.
The tiefling meets his charging attacker head on, almost bringing him to his knees upon first interaction. Arcane energy rips through the orc's body, leaving marks across their skin.
Nova side steps the javelin that was meant for her. Though, a low growl emanates from the half-elf when Fae would accept the one headed for her, slicing her thigh through her robes. She knew the wizard could choose to have blocked that, but then she thinks of the foes before her. Did she really want to spend her reserves on these guys? Well, the magic that flowed through Nova was different. With a bit of a wiggle of her hips, she chants in ancient celestial and slams a foot on the ground to take a defensive stance. A spirit totem twinkles into existence in the centre of her group of companions. Then with a sharp whistle, she summons an incorporeal spirit. As if carried by the wind, an astral unicorn takes up position, casting an aura over the party.
BA:Spirit Totem - Unicorn Spirit.The unicorn spirit lends its protection to those nearby (60ft radius). You and your allies gain advantage on all ability checks made to detect creatures in the spirit’s aura. In addition, if you cast a spell using a spell slot that restores hit points to any creature inside or outside the aura, each creature of your choice in the aura also regains hit points equal to your druid level (+4 to healing).
Mismatched eyes watched the front charging orc limping to close the gap "Boop!" Nova drives her spikey club forward, jabbing the orc a little harder in the nose than she thought, putting him out of his misery.
Similar to a prowl, the Anchorite of Talos points a clawed gauntlet directly ahead. He's aligning his sights as he takes a wide berth from the rear. Arching his back, he lets out a loud roar and brings his claws together with a thunderous bang. A lightning bolt mercilessly rips down one side of the battle field in a 100ft line, through 'friend' and foe alike. The powerful element cuts through three orcs to get to Nova, Hal and KD.
Action: Lightning Bolt Dex ST vs DC12 for half lightning damage: 21
Through the searing howls of pain, battle cries mixed with the sound of weapons clashing drown it out. The orcs press forward in waves. First come the greataxe sweeps, followed by the rain of javelins.

Hansel's shield clangs like a gong as the axe deflects away. Hansel only hopes that the orc was able to see it's own reflection, as he attempts to remodel the orc's ugly face with his club, or at least bring Sune's chastisement on it's ugly hide.
Auric reacts by throwing up a Shield, blocking the Orc's blade from hitting him. A javelin, however, sails in at the edge of the shield threatening to hit him--or one of his illusory images!
Mirror Image hit on a 6 or higher: 3
Auric continues his repositioning to get as may foes as possible in his cone of fire. Blasting out a Burning Hands spell (at second level), he does he best to fry all the Talosians.

The dark Tiefling is apparently not quite ready for the full ferocity of the orcs' assault and staggers at their onslaught, finding himself severely wounded before the battle is even in full swing. He grits his teeth in pain and retaliates with hellfire at the closest orc.
