Progo you killed your opponent. Goraseth two of the orcs made the safe but still all of them were damaged. Tryncaryn you battered The orc at the bottom leaving him at the brink of death. Tharanau i assume you attacked the one closest to you but am not sure for now i assume it was olive one and damaged him (i can change that). Elrora rushes to Tharanu with help Slicing orc next Goraseth on the way and then using Action surge to rush further. (i initialy rolled another attack for elrora as if action surge gave her whole another round, but remembered it is only second action so instead made her just dash to stand next to Tharanau, and now imposing disadvantage for attackers of Tharanu).

Orcs turn:

• 4 of the orcs attacked Goraseth not being able to compromise his defenses.
• 2 of the orcs attacked Tryncaryn, Greataxe dealt 4 dmg and javelin missed
• 2 of the orcs attacked Elrora and one hit her for 7 dmg 
• 1 of the orcs attacked Tharanu but missed thanks to Elroras shielding reflexes.

(Nope, I did attack the turquoise one because for the one in melee I assume I would have to have rolled with disadvantage. But now that my witch bolt is connected, the distance doesn't matter anymore)

Tharanau is thankful for Elrora's help and sends her a smile. Then he sends his powerful electric energy again to the same enemy, who has now joined the fray (turquoise - for damage 12)

Progo shakes his arms a but before raising g his bow. "Find your groove Progo, find the groove." (BA: Steady Aim) and Progo will shoot the Orc closest to him:

Attack: 16 Damage: 13 with sneak

(For future reference, using a ranged attack with an enemy within 5 feet will cause disadvantage on the attack roll. That enemy doesn’t need to be the target, its presence simply disrupts the ranged attack.)

Tryn stands his ground surrounded by huge orcs. How did this happen? Moments ago a few where locked inside the house and now, all of a sudden, this farm was swarming with orcs. „If there are more coming, we should consider to retreat,“ Tryn suggests with an air of urgency in his words. Despite his size, the small halfling manages to keep the Orcs at a reasonable distance and not trampling all over him. He lashes out with his quarterstaff at one Orc (C17) and tries a low kick against another (C16).

quarterstaff: hit 18 for 4 damage; kick: hit 23 for 7 damage

@tryn and Tharanau: don’t forget you are still bless (turn 3)

Goraseth laugh very hard “is that all you can do?”, trying to taunt the orca on himself. He then tries once more to slay one enemy.

18 +4 to hit, 8 damage

(@Wakharashq thank you for moving for me, the combat gets a bit fast-paced!)

Even after one of the orcs manages to harm Elrora, the Elven woman bears it in stride and returns Tharanau's smile. How could she be anything but exhilarated in the thrill of battle, her heart pounding with excitement at both the blood on her sword and her own staining her dress? This was what she was made for, the Fighter thinks. Tryncaryn seems to think otherwise, but Elrora feels as though they're only just getting started. "Are you sure, Tryn?" the Elven woman calls as she attempts to swing her Longsword at one of the orcs surrounding her. "I trust your judgement," she adds — because although she'd rather stay and battle until she truly cannot anymore, she would also like to keep the Halfling and the rest of their companions safe. Even through her adrenaline, that's still more important to the princess.

 (I don’t want to be offensive and please let me know if I should stop pointing out rules but I think if it is alright, I’d like to draw attention to rules questions. The Protection Fighting Style offers a reaction that can be used once per round - not turn - to impose disadvantage on a single attack roll.)

 ( I'm good with questioning rules so that we all are on the same page, like some people using flanking and other not. I for one feel like I've learned half the rules in this fashion! In this case I think they are just pointing out the intent to use the reaction ability that way going forward so the DM is aware when settling out the results of the round.)

Rules are important :) I did to read that as an heads up for me to know that Elrora would use reaction when oppotunity occurs.

- Tharanau killed turquise orc leaving him electrocuted on te ground.
- Progo shoots black orc who gets the arrow to the neck, still standing which seems weird, probably arrow is blocking the bleeding which would kill him outright.
- Tryncaryn crushes the skull of dark purple orc killing him, and then kicks yellow orc who is still standing.
- Goraseth is doing great defending against orcs attacks and gets green orc by surprise staking him on his yklwa with a backtrust and killing him instantly. /Goraseth please specify next time which one you target/
- Elrora seems to read Tharanus style well, and leaves the turquise orc for him. She then quickly tries to eliminate the threat for the sorcerer and attacks Olive orc slashing trough his torso, but not deep enough to kill yet. /Changed your target since Tharanau killed already the one you targeted/

Orcs turn:

> Pink orc rushes trough the fray to get Progo, and slashes wildly with his Great Axe sending Progo out of consciousness with great pain. (Crit 21 dmg) Reroll after silvery barbs hit:17 DMG 8
> Black and Dark blue orcs attack Goraseth but black seems to not be fully able to move with arrow to the neck and is to slow to hit. On the other hand DarBlue is getting angrier and his strength augments to the point he deals a painful blow. (DMG 9)
> From the basement emerges Blue orc and aids yellow in attempt to take down Tryncaryn. That surprise seems to do the trick for them as the slaughter Tryncaryn leaving him uncouncious on the ground.(two criticals for 10 and 17 dmg)
>Olive orcs try to answer the slash with violence toward Elrora but can not get trough her shield, Purple uses the moment when Elrora has to shield herself and downs Tharanau. (DMG 15) /Purple rolled twice for disadvantage and still hit/ attacks Tharanu but his attack is stopped the very last second by Tharanaus spell: Shield.

Finally his dream vision came back to Tryn and he shouted a spell infused warning at Progo (casting Silvery Barbs). Hopefully that will give Progo the upper hand in his duel (the orc has to re-roll his attack and hopefully will not hit at all, or at least not crit, and Progo will get advantage on his next roll). His distraction however costs Tryn dearly as he noticed the encroaching Orc too late and could not evade the devastating blow against himself. Once hit, the second orc that attacked Tryn had an easy game and struck viciously, too. Tryn yielded to the overwhelming force and slid into unconsciousness.

death save: 5

Reroll after silvery barbs hit:17 DMG 8 for progo instead of 21

(OK...that does not seems good)

The hit got Goraseth by surprise and lost his concentration (CON save 4). Seing the strengh and number of the ennemies, the old gladiator switch strategy. In a split second he conjured up again his shimmering aura (Bonus Action: Shield of Faith, AC is now 21) and attack the orc that seems the closest to death (I guess the Black one?)

Hit: 8 unfortunately

(If I used "shield" as a reaction on the last attack - bringing my AC to 20, would that stop the damage?)

As Progo hears the shout, he snaps out his focus on his last target, just for him to see the axe swinging down at his head. Managing to avoid the worst of it with a forearm taking the worst of if, Progo spins off and stabs back with his last remaining dagger. Man these things can cover some ground, wonder if I can learn to do that... (BA Disengage) He runs back to the tree line(X4)  and turns to face the Orc:

Attack: 22 Damage: 10

Edit: changed to dagger attack (using same roll results as before)

Quote from tiomila >>

(If I used "shield" as a reaction on the last attack - bringing my AC to 20, would that stop the damage?)

 It would stop the hit as rolls were 16 and 22 at disadvantage so 16 was used. Shield would stop the hit.

Tharanau is struggling to fight so many enemies at once. Only in the last split second he reacts to the incoming orc attack and manages to stop it with a magical shield. He is fully aware that this hit would have been the end of him. (Cast Shield: AC 20 until beginning of my next round).

Tharanau is shaken up, and now that the enemies are so close to him, it is even harder, to execute his magic correctly. He tries to attack the purple orc in front of him, but fudges his movements and the spell almost fizzles out - but with greatest concentration and effort he manages to pull back and execute the spell well (use of sorcery points to reroll attack at disadvantage. first attack 10 to hit, reroll with dis 20 to hit - 13 damage to orc purple)

Tharanau shouts at Elrora: "Thanks for your help just then! I got this one, try and finish the other one (olive)!"

Elrora hits olive orc killing him, and then (since Tharanau said he got this) rushes back to aid progo. (purple orc missed opportunity attack)

Orcs Round:

>4 orcs gang up on Goraseth, and with that barrage of axes one finds it way to harm Dragonborn (3 miss, 1 hits for 24, 13 DMG) /please make Concentration save/
> Pink orc does not care for the appearance of Elrora and sticks to his target, giving elrora opportunity attack that misses (since orcs round starts a new round she is able to react). Charging at Progo and swinging wildly, unable to hit nimble Progo. 
> Purple orcs now in panic that the Electricity will soon dispose of him attacks in despair, but such emotions are not good advisors in battle. He can not penetrate the Shield spell.

Tryn stirs on the ground, a spastic motion shaking his body. He remains unconscious, breathing flatly but with a steadying rhythm. (Death save: 14, two successes  vs no failure **knocking on wood**)
