Orog 5, wholly focused on the dwarf before him, does not see Narth's attack coming. A crossbow bolt grazes the orog's leg, doing only minimal damage.
Orog 4, unaware of Rixton's presence to the south, is pierced through the ribs just below his left armpit. The beast roars in pain and snaps his head in the direction from which the enemy fire has come.
The goliath watches as the two remaining axe-beaks scatter, a takes a few seconds to survey his surroundings. With everything to the north obscured by fire and smoke, he spots the bulk of the attacking force to his east, the fire giants visible behind one of the town's buildings, orogs heading round the same building on his side. He attempts to relieve some of the pressure on his companions to the east by diverting some of their forces in his direction.
Stepping over the fence into the empty camping area, he shouts at the two orogs closest to him. "Face me, Orog!", he shouts, pointing the glaive in their direction.
Move 30ft towards Orogs 3 and 4, and use Dodge as an action.

Andor
The number of enemies increasing and the backdrop to the battle showed that much of the northern half of the town was already alight, Andor began to question whether they could throw back their opponents and protect any more of the town or if an organised retreat made more sense, but he saw the dwarf ahead valiantly battling on and bolstered by Rixton and the scouts to their south the position didn't seem lost just yet. Seeing the giants closer now the sorcerer knew that taking them both down would surely be impossible but if they could draw the battle out for long enough they might stand a chance at injuring them badly enough to consider retreat. Unwilling to risk hitting townsfolk with some of his more powerful spells Andor moved to the the south east until he could see the dwarf fighting the axebeak with an orog almost on top of him and loosed another freezing ray at the now riderless axebeak.
OOC Movement as far forward as it takes to get in range then casts Ray of Frost at axebeak 4 18 for 2 cold damage and then pull back slightly away from the battle by as much as possible.

Ghelryn
Seeing the axe beak shudder as a magical blast hits it squarely the dwarf prepared to finish it off and then deal with the next foe, a fearsome looking orog bearing down on him. Ghelryn's axe worked in a blur seeking openings against his foes. "Ye picked the wrong town, and I'll make sure ye remember for all the seconds of life ye have left!"
Attack 1 10 for 5 slashing damage
Attack 2 15 for 8 slashing damage
OOC the idea is to finish off the axebeak if possible and then the orog, if the axe beak is actually already dead then both attacks to the orog.

"Let's help the others! Over there!"Ladrian says pointing to Andor and Rixton and starts moving (90 ft with cunning action). Darathra follows, dashing as much as she can

Carrow
Good work, but lots more remain, seeing the Goliath call across the empty camping space Carrow moves to tits southern entrance spoting his first Orog, as he sees the hulking mass atop the wall flames licking the sky behind him, black smoke billowing into the air, he takes aim and fires. (Orog 4)
Attack: 11 Damage: 3
Darz
With the Javelin narrowly missing Darz he realizes this might not be the place for him, but to run would have him turn his back on his new home and his new friends, besides if he turned now this giant bird would tear him limb from limb while its master laughed. Shortsword in hand Darz shifted his weight from left to right and when he saw his moment he attacked with a thrust to the rider.
In quick succession, axe beak 4 is struck by the sorcerer's freezing blue light and the dwarf's battleaxe. The giant bird-like creature collapses to the ground immediately. Ghelryn's second attack, however, glances harmlessly off the orog's plate armor.
As Ladrian and Darathra dash eastward, hoping to come to the aid of the others, Carrow steps up and fires an inaccurate shot at orog 4. Darz stands his ground valiantly in the face of a mounted orc, and his shortsword leaves a prominent gash in the neck and shoulder of orc 5.
In the southeast, Zindra commands her fellow scout to remain focused on the lone orc that is riding south while she breaks from the trio and sprints toward the town square. Both scouts grab another arrow from their quivers and deftly fire a shot at the moving orc.
Longbow attack 1: 13 |Piercing damage, if successful: 5
Longbow attack 2: 19 |Piercing damage, if successful: 7
Both arrows catch the orc, who then tumbles off the back of the axe beak, lifeless. Its mount, axe beak 6, behaves as if nothing has happened and continues to run south.
Meanwhile, in the center of Triboar, the orogs are ready to release their cruel intent on any who dare oppose them. Orog 4 (using its aggressive bonus action) rapidly covers the distance between itself and Vigan and makes two wild swings with its greataxe.
Greataxe attack 1: 20 | Slashing damage, if successful: 15
Greataxe attack 2: 11 | Slashing damage, if successful: 11
Orog 3 (also utilizing its aggressive bonus action) darts forward and chucks a javelin at Carrow.
Orog 5, in broken Common, says, "Dwarf fool!" before taking two swings at Ghelryn with his greataxe.
Greataxe attack 1: 19 | Slashing damage, if successful: 16
Greataxe attack 2: 25 | Slashing damage, if successful: 7
Both fire giants follow the path through the fence created by one of the orogs. The giants' close proximity allows everyone to see that one of them wields a curious-looking magical rod in its hand. Approximately 4' in length and with two prongs at one end, the rod was clearly designed with giants in mind.
Narth sees Ghelryn going toe-to-toe with an orog and Darz facing down an orc. In a split second decision, he hops the fence next to him to edge closer to the orc, takes aim, and fires at it.
I see an orog charging toward me. Quickly, I turn Viola around and run her 60 feet towards the tower, then pull up the reigns. I turn to study the orog chasing me. As before, I study this orog's pace, movement, and armor to look for a weakness. Then I draw a (+1) arrow and, using my intuition, fire for the most likely target.
Insightful fighting (contested by Orog #2 deception): 21
Shortbow Attack: 6 Damage: 6
Sneak attack damage (unless the orog succeeds the deception): 10
The speed of the orog surprises even Vigan, its first swing connecting with the goliath's shoulder as he lets out a grunt of pain. Regaining his composure, he ducks the second swing and brings the blade of his glaive round in an arc towards the orog's stomach.
Attack: 26
Riposte: 19
Vigan (Round 7)
Putting his hand to his shoulder, he feel the wetness of the blood soaking his clothing. Sensing that he has the upper hand, the goliath shuts out the pain and attacks the orog, still reeling from his first blow, for a second time.
Attack: 7
Damage: 13
Second Wind (bonus action): 7 HP regained
Othovir (Round 7)
Watching the orog take a mighty blow from the goliath in front of him, the Illuskan attempts to support him with another fire bolt, then runs further round the camping site. (move 30ft south)
Consistently darting in and out of danger, Rixton fires an arrow at orog 2, but in his haste to create distance between himself and the orog, Rixton misses the shot. Not far away, Narth hurdles a fence and quickly fires a deadly shot at orc 5, who falls to the ground just as he was preparing to thrust his javelin at Darz.
Standing in the middle of the campground, Vigan shakes off the attack by the orog and quickly takes two swings of his own. The goliath's first swing sinks right through the orog's plate armor and nearly drops the beast where he stands. Half lucky, half desperate, the orog holds up his greataxe and deflects Vigan's second blow. Nearly simultaneously, a small ball of fire streaks past the orog's head. The beast, wholly focused on the goliath, had no idea that Othovir was lingering nearby.
(Round 7 concludes. Andor, Carrow, and Ladrian may take their round 8 actions in any order; the scouts and invaders will follow)
The orog's blade bites deep inot the dwarf, growling with rage the fighter raises his battleaxe to return a strike against his foe but weakness floods his limbs, the axe falls from fingers that can no longer grip and he sinks to his knees before falling over to the side unconscious.
1st death saving throw 5
Andor
Seeing the axebeak he wounded fall to the dwarf who then is struck down by an enraged orog the sorcerer curses under his breath, the dwarf had fought valiantly but he was unlikely to be the last casualty of this fight and so Andor scanned the field for threats. Moving next to Rixton he launches another Ice Knife at the nearest orog (2) before using the storm energy to move him to a slightly further spot behind Ladrian and Rixton.

Seing Vigan is in close quarters with an orog, Ladrian 30ft in Vigan's direction and fires the crossbow at orog #4 (with sneak attack due to Vigan's presence).
Attack: 7 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll.
Darathra
She dashes using all of ther moviment to the neares orog (either #4 if he's alive or #3), getting ready to swing her blade.
Rooted to the spot Carrow sees the bulk of the enemy force crash through the fence at the opposite end of the clearing, only to be brought sharply to his senses as a javelin narrowly misses his head, too close. Looking around Vigan is locked in a vicious duel with more enemies inbound. Carrow quickly snaps a shot towards the Goliath's immediate threat. (Orog 4)
Attack: 19 Damage: 7
Bonus Action: Slayers Prey (Orogs) 4 extra damage.
Darz
Seeing the Orc topple from its mount leaves him stunned, he helped do that, the gash in its neck, he was contributing. Can,t turn my back now must continue to help. Filled with a new found courage he stabs at the Axebeak hoping to drive it away.
Ladrian and Darathra charge into the heart of the battle, preparing to aid Vigan and confront the orogs. Ladrian's shot is accurate, but it deflect off the orog's shoulder armor. Carrow's next arrow, however, strikes the orog in the neck and drops the beast where he stands. Andor's spell barely catches orog 2, who is subsequently able to avoid any further damage that might have been caused by the icy explosion.
The three scouts, with Zindra in the lead, change their direction and begin to run toward the town square now. Magmin continue to set things ablaze; they seem wholly uninterested in the violent clashes that are taking place so close by. Orog 5 rapidly closes the distance between itself and Darz and hurls a javelin, hoping to bring down one more enemy:
Ranged javelin attack: 11 | Piercing damage, if successful: 7
LIkewise, Orog 2 covers 60' of ground in Rixton's direction and hurls a javelin at the rogue.
Ranged javelin attack: 25 | Piercing damage, if successful: 6
Orog 3 is completely focused on Darathra and with a fang-filled grin rushes toward her and swings twice with its greataxe.
Greataxe attack 1: 16 | Slashing damage, if successful: 11
Greataxe attack 2: 15 | Slashing damage, if successful: 10
The two fire giants unsheathe their massive swords and, strangely enough, begin digging. Large chunks of earth and pieces of rock scatter in all directions as the two giants repeatedly plunge their swords into the ground.
I grimace as the javelin pierces my leg. It hangs loosely from the tip, falling to the ground as I settle Viola and draw another arrow. I size up the orog again. I cannot let a little scratch distract me. Its gait, its confidence in having hit me, how its armor hangs on its frame, all of these over clues on how to strike it. I study my enemy as I draw my (+1) arrow. Exhale. Release.
Insightful fighting (contested by deception from the orog): 7
Shortbow Attack: 7 Damage: 5
If a hit and insightful fighting succeeds, sneak attack damage: 7
The arrow sails wide and I curse at my poor shot. Not taking the time to dwell on it, I spur Viola along the fence 60', racing past Carrow.
