The orc riding the axe beak is suddenly confronted with a swinging anchor, coming out of nowhere, which nearly knocks him off his mount! He tries to dodge out of the way of the incoming radiant flame... 21 ...and saves himself (momentarily) from an ignoble end. He glares at Alus with a happy sort of maliciousness.

Nirzeg laughs like a madman. "I can't believe it! I'm not sure which is dumber! Bwaahaha! Great, big chickens riding chickens! Hey Big D! Is it just me, or do you think their compensating for something at that?"He says more than loudly enough to be heard by the orc riders. "Oh man. Jokes aside. Gun. Wu. Veen."He says, releasing a bolt of black fire at the axe beak closest to him. Then a few more gestures later, the sword at his side is drawn crackling with electricity. "Come on, chicken riders! Come at me!"

Meanwhile, years away from the PLOT!
"I knew this day would come! For the FOEHAMMERS!" And so, a certain dwarf towards the edge of town runs for all he's worth to try joining the fray at the center. For as much as his heart yearned to do battle with giants, freeing allies and slaying an equally hated foe of dwarfs was the wiser decision!
(Foehammer)Action: Dash.

Genny took a wander around the field she managed to find herself in, her eyes darting around to take in the chaos this attack had already caused this poor town, but out of her peripheral vision she stared at the man who was nearby her. With a sling in hand and a look of determination on his face, he runs forward just a bit and shoots a rock at one of the enemies. "I am not running away. Not again." (Movement reflected on Roll20)
Attack: 8 Damage: 4
The construct tilts her head at him, wondering why he would shoot a rock of all things or even fight in the first place, but she remembers how fleshy and dumb humans can be and follows him regardless, wanting to at least protect one person from the carnage no matter how dumb they may be. When she's next to him, her extends her arm with an open palm and casts Eldritch Blast twice at the rider.

Genny and Darz take aim at the nearest orc. Darz' slingshot misses by a ways, but Genny's first blast strikes hard against the enemy. The second blast seems to be stopped by the orc's thick hide armor, but now she has the warrior's full attention.
Meanwhile, a ways south, Nirzeg's bolt of fire nearly incinerates one of the axe beaks. The bird lets out a horrible, pitiful sounding squak and begins to charge directly as Nirzeg!
The fire giants continue to make their way towards the center of town; the male giant launches a huge rock that smashes into the abandoned shop, near the field where Darz and Genny stand, as the orcs on axebeaks turn towards these new interlopers, spewing some foul curses in orcish.

Triboar East
The magmins, little devilish fire elementals that they are, break into farmhouses some yards away from where Urgala and Astra stand. You are within earshot, and can hear the screams of families inside. It is only a matter of time before the dwellings go up in flames.
Urgala runs up towards the Orog and makes two attacks at it.
Attack: 8 Damage: 6
Attack: 12 Damage: 9
Astra runs up to Urgala, grabs her and casts Thunder step. "We need to get back with the others! We'll get killed out here!" The Orog needs to make a DC14 Con Save or take 17 Thunder damage. Astra and Urgala move the full 90 feet so that they can get closer to the rest of the party, so they should be about 35 feet away.
The hardy orog blocks Urgala’s swings of her morningstar, and is about to strike back when Astra grabs Urgala and disappears with a thunderous blowback!
Orog CON save: 15
Urgala and Astra reappear a stone’s throw away from where Genevieve is battling an orc on an axe beak.
Darathra grimaces in agony as the javelin strikes her, but she remains standing and lets out a battle cry, "Get the hell out of my town!" before swinging twice at the Orog.
Attack: 17 Damage: 12
Attack: 22 Damage: 9
Derrikoth turns to her, giving her a slight bow from horseback, "Good day, madam! I appreciate your help!" and then drives his lance into the Orog, marking it on a hit.
The hasty orc in front of Darathra is slain by her two-hander, a quick slash in the stomach and a returning slash across the head. Derrikoth rides forth, skewering the nearest orc’s axe beak mount with his lance. The orc rider leaps off the mount, his eye wide with disbelief.
The orcs obviously weren't expecting this kind of resistance.

The orc rider once again expertly dodges the flames from Alus, but as he casually approaches the cleric to deliver a strike, he is hit from the back with Alus’ anchor of force, which knocks him clean off his mount.

Nirzeg:
Nirzeg lets out a long, drawn out, but never quite competed curse from the pain spreading from a shoulder. "Okay. Enough jests."Digging deep, the githyank drops concentration on the deep gash across his shoulder to start storming towards the nearest orc still riding an axe beak. The sound of a thousand birds chirping at once erupts as an enchanted blade goes from just crackling from condensed lightning, to oscillating in hand.
"Time to cash out, you tusked bastards." During the wind-up for an attack, the black furred body of Zeek detaches itself from his head and flies in to blind and distract the orc rider as Nirzeg brings the blade into the raider's side. Vanishing a second later, the Gith reappears ten feet behind another rider and makes a show of dropping his sword. "Come on then! Let's dance next friend."

Thankfully the swing misses Darz as he drops his slingshot and whips out (heh) his short sword in retaliation!

"Hey! Watch it!" Darz yells at Genny, as ethereal swords pelt his body with force damage. His blade sneak attack takes down the orc warrior, and Genny's sword bursts scare away the now-riderless axe beak.
Foehammer arrives on the scene, coming straight for the orc that is riding to assault Genny. The orc hears the dwarf's threats and veers towards him instead!
At the same time, Nirzeg strikes his chosen orc warrior with an effective attack before teleporting away. The orc appears as if he's about to give chase.
The fire giants arrive on the scene now, stepping easily over the fence that separates the Caravan Campground from the rest of Triboar. The female giant is holding out her shining metal rod—it has a forked end, and she seems to be following to where it's pointing.
The orcs, meanwhile, renew their attacks, and the one near Nirzeg goads his mount into attacking as well! The riderless axe beaks break off and run away, including the one whose rider was just killed by Nirzeg's booming blade.

Darathra moves to assist Derrikoth, moving to strike at the same orc, or the one attacking Nirzeg if this one falls.

Derrikoth slays the orc with his quick lance work, and Darathra engages the other orc on the back of the axe beak, cutting long but not deep. The mounted orc is now outnumbered and wounded.
The orc near Foehammer is likewise wounded by Urgala’s own attack.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Reaction: Nirzeg activated (1st level) Grey Mantle, increasing his AC to 23, and blocking the attack.
Nirzeg:
Zeek continues to make an ass of its little furry itself by flying over to piss right on the head of Nirzeg's Orcs. As a grey mantle of magic fades away, the Gith wastes no time, and takes advantage of the familiar's actions in hopes of behead the orc in one swift move. "Oof! I like you much better like this."He says to the headless rider as the corpse gets shoved aside. "Good work. Now if you don't mind. I got a date with pretty, hot, and smoking over there."He gestures back to the female fire giant.
If it looks viable to do so, Nirzeg considers trying to hop onto the Axe Beak. Then he realizes that would make him a chicken rider, so immediately shook his head at the idea. So instead, he circles around behind the fence to begin approaching the fire giants, dropping his sword once more in readiness for more magic goodness.
If the target uses their own movement willing, they take an additional 13 Thunder Damage.
Foehammer:
"Hah! You call that a cut! I'll show you cut, you twice damned Orc! Gyraagh!" In true dwarven fashioni, Foehammer brushes off the pain in his shoulder to drive his axe clear into orc skull! Though if Urgala managed to do the work for him or aided in the slaying, he scowls at her for a second, then lets out a raucous laugh. "You have my thanks! Now let's get down to some giant slaying!" With the Orc hopefully out the way, he puts away his battle axe long enough to try and take its place on the axe beak.
"Come on you oversized turkey. You're in 'ole Ghelryn's care now!" He claims while trying to reign in the beast. It is not amused. (roll(17+3(from Genevieve Bardic Die) in discord chat)
"Apologies, human," Genevieve apologizes, bending over to pick up his discarded slingshot to hand it back to him. "I should have thought about that prior. You can give me a tongue lashing later, we have more company." Just as she says that she lifts her arm towards the new enemy incoming and blasts it a new one, moving closer to the fence for better aim.
Attack: 16 Damage: 11 Attack: 18 Damage: 7
"Very well," He sighs and pulls back his slingshot, aimed for the enemy she is shooting at (as it seemed the other two were taking care of the other one). "Name is Darz, by the way, not human."

Nirzeg decapitates one orc most bloodily, while Ghelryn hacks the head off of another with two strong strikes. The axe beak near Nirzeg makes an opportunity attack when Nirzeg turns his back...

As the male fire giant approaches, Genny's first blast seems to ricochet off of his plate armor, but the second one hits. It's nowhere near enough stopping power against a giant, though. The male giant looks almost amused at the magical strike.
