Barkas steps up to the house and sees the three orcs rushing down the stairs through the window. “This is getting serious, they will be flanked!” In the room where the orcs descended, he casts entangle on the floor causing vines and weeds to cover the floor, grasping at the feet of the orcs and slowing their movement. ((DC 13 strength check or restrained.))
Then something strange happens. Barkas starts literally shimmering, he looks up at the sky and smiles, arching his hands toward the closest orc and an arrow of light shoots out of his body, striking him! Barkas gives a maniacal laugh as it happens, saying “See! I told ye! Power o the stars, it’s undeniable!”
Bonus action : Starry form, Archer -
15 to hit, the closest orc for 6 points of radiant damage.
Just as the Orcs threaten to overwhelm Aranea and Droknin, a hail of arrows and magic rip through the windows and open door. The two Orcs assailing Aranea [two SE most Orcs]both fall to T'laren and his echo's arrows. A blast of light hits the Orc in the foyer closest to the door. This Orc avoids the worst of the vines that sprout from the floor [Save 17] but the Orc at the bottom of the stairs finds his legs completely entangled [Save 9].
Droknin and Aranea are back up.

Aranea will choose a new target for her Hexblade's Curse and Hex. Switching tactics, she will remain at range to attack this target (I'm assuming one of the orcs Droknin is still engaging) and unleash a burst of dark magic toward it.

A cascade of arrows zip through the back windows, striking down both of the Orcs that has been menacing Aranea.
As vines erupt in the foyer and outside the window, the Orc at the bottom of the stairs finds its legs wrapped up, unable to move and blocking the stairwell. The Orc nearer the door breaks free of the vines, but is rewarded with a blast of radiant light to the chops, bloodying its mouth and leaving it looking around for something to murder.
[On attacking from an unknown location... Eh. I could go either way on that. The Orcs are quite aware someone is outside shooting them through the windows, and there isn't much cover out there. On the other hand, they are more focused on the threat inside, so they probably wouldn't be 'aware' of exactly where T'laren and Neral't are at any given moment. Still, I think I'd need T'laren to hide first, to get advantage on these attacks.]
Round 3:

There is a loud 'Clunk' from the storm cellar door outside the north side of the house. Someone or something tries to push it open from below, but for now the vines which have sprouted up are holding it shut.
Droknin

((How would you feel about him using his bonus action to call forth a new Neral't in a new location, to functionally 'hide'? He can manifest echoes as a bonus action, then flickers with the new Neral't to take an attack from that location rather than the one he was just in?))
You can use a bonus action to magically manifest an echo of yourself in an unoccupied space you can see within 15 feet of you. This echo is a magical, translucent, gray image of you that lasts until it is destroyed, until you dismiss it as a bonus action, until you manifest another echo, or until you’re incapacitated.
When you take the Attack action on your turn, any attack you make with that action can originate from your space or the echo’s space. You make this choice for each attack.
This would prevent him from being able to use his bonus action to fully swap places with Neral't as a bonus action if he's using it to summon a new one.

Droknin cuts an Orc cleanly in two, Talon cutting through bone and armor like a knife through butter. Aranea severely wounds another, though not quite enough to bring it down.
The unrestrained Orc from the foyer enters the dining room, and the three remaining Orcs here all attack Droknin, but the barbarian is too quick, his barbed tail batting away the last axe.
Attack: 9
Attack: 6
Attack: 16
The restrained Orc at the bottom of the stairs attempts to break free of the vines, unsuccessfully. STR: 5 The Orc on the stairs is blocked from progressing further, and it snorts in anger and tries futilely to shove the other out of the way.

After issuing his challenge, it seems that some of the Orcs came after Droknin. He easily dodges two of the strikes. "Bah, you fight like cubs!" Then a third one almost connect, but with a swift reaction, his barbed tail deflects the attack at the last moment. With his signature broad Leonin smile, he commends the third Orc.

Barkas sees the orc on the lower portion of the stairs trapped and he smiles, he takes one of his magical stones out of his pouch and flings it at the other unrestrained orc above him on the stairs, then his body glimmers again and another arc of radiant energy shoots out of him at the same orc, trying to get him to fall on his poor trapped brethren. He calls out to T’laren, “Watch out, I heard someone trying to come out of the storm door. The vines held it shut, but there’s another one down there!”
Magic Stone : 13 to hit, for 9 points of bludgeoning damage.
Starry Form : Archer (bonus action) : 21 to hit, for 6 points of radiant damage.
Before Aranea can finish off the Orc she was engaged with, an arrow from T'laren sails through the window and kills it. Passing her Hex to the Orc behind Droknin [taking the liberty of assuming you would do so...], she kills that Orc instead. Droknin's attack is uncharacteristically out of sync, leaving one Orc remaining in the dining room.
Barkas' stone misses [the Orc on the stairs has 3/4 cover from Barkas' location outside] but his radiant blast connects.
[Most of the Orcs use the 'Aggressive' trait this round, to spend a bonus action to move up to its speed toward a hostile creature it can see.

The other Orc in the dining room tries again to attack Droknin with its great axe...

... but fails.
The Orc on the stairs clambers down and charges out the door and down the steps toward Barkas, swinging its axe.
Attack on Barkas: 22 Slashing Damage: 9
Just then, the cellar door outside bursts open, and two more Orcs climb out from below. They both run around the back side of the building, with one attacking Neral't and the other attacking Barkas.
Attack on Neral't: 9
Attack on Barkas: 11
Both miss, their eyes perhaps still adjusting to the light outside.

Barkas feels the axe hit him and it knocks the wind out of him for a moment. (Con save 14). He is able to maintain his focus on the grasping vines in the house, but seeing that no orc is trapped there any further, he lets the spell go. He turns to the the orc in front of him, taking his shillelagh and swings at him, trying to hit him on the head. His chest is still glowing and a radiant arrow shoots forth at the orc as well, albeit at close range. Over his shoulder he cries out to T’laren, “Need a little help over here, over by the well!”
