The thump of an arrow into the neck of the orog he was fighting allows Vigan a second to survey the rest of the battlefield. With the fires approaching everyone, along with the scampering creatures that started them, it wouldn't be long till they were surrounded by burning buildings.
Addressing the scouts coming into view, he shouts "Archers! We need those magmin brought down now, or this town will be ash!"
Seeing one of the orogs relentlessly attacking the woman known as Darathra, the goliath charges it from the side and attempts to slash at an exposed part of its body with his glaive.

Moving south to flail wildly at orog 3.
Othovir (WiP)
Othovir runs along the fence towards Andor and Rixton, again cupping his hands to ignite the air held within and throwing it at the orog bearing down on the human and half-elf.
Deciding to trust to his spells Andor moves forward towards the closest orog, preparing a more powerful spell as he moves. As soon as he gets close enough he opens his mouth and a cone of cold energy is blasted out assaulting the orog in the process, using the storm energy again he moves himself as far away from the orog as he can.
Dexterity saving throw for orog 2 versus Andor's spell: 5
The orog seems to grin and sneer simultaneously as Andor dares to approach, but the cold effects of the sorcerer's spell completely engulf the orog, who fails to react quickly enough to avoid taking any damage.
(DM completing round 9 actions for Carrow, Ladrian, Darathra Shendrel, and Darz Helgar)
Darathra, standing side by side with Vigan, readies herself to repay the orog (3) in kind for the wounds she just sustained. As Darathra makes her counterattacks, Ladrian takes advantage of the situation and fires a crossbow bolt at the beast. Carrow does the same, firing another arrow from his longbow.

Carrow's longbow attack:21| Piercing damage, if successful:4
To the east of the square, Darz turns to keep his distance from orog 5 and sees that he's close enough to attack orog 2 from behind. Relying on his years of experience from the thieves' guild, he sneaks up behind the orog and attempts to hamstring the hulking beast by slashing at the unarmored part of its leg.
Darz's shortsword attack:11| Slashing damage, if successful:5+ 7additional damage for sneak attack
Zindra Winterbow darts into the main square and, for the first time, can see the full scope of the battle. She quickly takes the shot with the best chance of success, firing two arrows at orog 2 as it approaches Andor. The other two scouts sprint into the main square immediately behind her.
Zindra's longbow attack 1:18| Piercing damage, if successful:3
Zindra's longbow attack 2:19| Piercing damage, if successful:8
Despite being the target of a futile attack from the rear by Darz and the arrows from Zindra, orog 2 remains steadfast in his march toward the multiple images he sees of Andor. Confident he can strike at least one of the sorcerers that stands before him, the orog hurls a javelin...

Some of the magmin draw nearer to the main battle; others, however, remain a bit distant as they continue to set things ablaze. The fire giants, with one eye on the battle that rages around them, continue to drive their greatswords into the ground, heaving up chunks of earth and rock as they do so.
(Round 9 actions for Rixton, Narth, Vigan, and Othovir are next)
Narth looks behind him, seeing for the first time that Ghelryn is felled. Fear runs through him like lightning and he turns and sprints to Ghelryn's side (using movement + cunning action to dash). Seeing the life slip from Ghelryn, Narth attempts to administer aid.
I turn, intent on planting an arrow in that orog (#2). It has fixated on Andor, so I feel the pressure to do so. In studying it, I feel like I am getting closer to seeing it's weakness. I draw, aim for where I think I can sink the (+1) arrow, and fire.

Vigan
Attempting to finish the orog (#3) in the centre of the camping area following the onslaught form his companions, the goliath dodges the back-swings from the orog's attacks on Darathra, before slashing at it himself.
Attack: 9
Damage: 12
Othovir
Sensing that the orog is on its last legs, he again cups his hands and creates a firebolt. Waiting until the right moment, he launches it at the orog as it reels from Vigan's attack.
Attack: 20
Damage: 2
Crit: 9
"Crispy fried Orog, anyone?", Othovir smirks as the bolt flies towards the orog with unerring accuracy.
Narth sets combat aside and bolts to his old friend Ghelryn who's hanging on by a thread. He's able to stabilize the wounded dwarf for the time being.
In the center of Triboar, the battle continues. Rixton's attempt to slow orog 2 fails, but Vigan and Othovir quickly drop orog 3, who's dead body is covered in flames momentarily as a result of Othovir's fire bolt.
(Thus concludes round 9; Andor, Carrow, and Ladrian, in any order, may take their actions for round 10)
The orog is hurt but not down so Andor unleashes another blast of cold as he roars at the creature both the original and the two remaining copies behaving exactly the same to continue to distract and confuse. "Come on, just die will you!"
7 cold damage or half is pass against DC13 Dex save

Carrow
Acting quickly and wishing to keep the Goliath safe and the other Orog at bay, runs his finger down the string of bow "Ensnare" he says in Orcish before turning his attention north and releasing a shot on the snarling Orog (Orog 1)

Bonus Action: [Tooltip Not Found]
Slayers Pray: 1 Extra Damage
Darz
Seeing the Orog to his rear approaching the Sorcerer Darz acts and engages with his shortsword, stabbing at the creatures back. (Orog 2)
Ladrian and Darathra run to the Long Road and turn north, hoping to slow the destruction of the magmin while Carrow takes aim at the orog (1) that has at last entered the fight. The ranger's shot is off target; it zips past the orog and sticks into the fence behind it.
Just to the south of the campground, Darz once again creeps up behind an orog (2) and attempts a sneak attack. This time, the thief drives his shortsword deep into the back of the orog, who now shows clear indications of the severity of his wounds.
Zindra and her two fellow scout fall into a line behind Andor and quickly fire a volley of six arrows, two shots each.
Zindra's 1st longbow attack on orog 2:17| Piercing damage, if successful:8
Zindra's 2nd longbow attack on orog 2:23| Piercing damage, if successful:3

Each scout is successful with one shot. Zindra adds to the damage taken by orog 2; one of the scouts sinks an arrow into orog 5, and the other scout catches one of the fire giantswith a grazing shot.
Orog 2, seemingly in a final act of desperation, charges Andor and takes two swings with his greataxe...

The magmin, in no hurry, slowly draw closer to the center of Triboar. The fire giants continue to dig despite just having an arrow fired in their direction.
The javelin sails through the air, planting itself in Vigan's thigh. The goliath cries out in pain, before pulling the weapon out of his leg and launching himself with a snarl at the orog who threw it (#1).
Attack: 19
Damage: 12
Othovir
Staying well back from the two orogs, Othovir launches another firebolt, this time at the orog closest to him (#2).
Seeing that Ghelryn is stable, Narth stands and surveys the battle. A little magmin has approached the farmhouse across the street and is about to set it ablaze. "Not if I have anything to say about it," he mutters, then charges forward 30 feet and fires his hand crossbow at it.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Rixton:
My frustration flows at the wild shots I have been making. I breathe. Stillness fills my mind and the frustration ebbs. I feel Viola jostle uneasily underneath me and I sway in unison with her. Pendergast is coiled tightly around my left arm and I feel him breathing little breaths. I open my eyes. I scan to the north, deciding the orog (#1) standing in the open will make a prime target. I briefly study his armor and his stance as he throws his javelin. Drawing back my (+1) arrow, I take aim for his right collarbone. A brief gust of wind blows past and I let it fade before I release, my breath along with the arrow.
Insightful fighting (contested by deception from the orog): 11

It is a true shot but my target was perhaps too small. I decide to stow my bow, petting Viola on her muscled neck as I do.
