Shadow hits one of the two with a crossbow bolt while Wilick's arrow sticks harmlessly into the door. (@Shadow you're right about the advantage/disadvantage and I believe the disadvantage would cancel sneak attack.) The rest of you start to rush forward but you're all still 140+ feet away from the orcs. That was the surprise round and now you can all act again in the first round of combat.
"Not again, you're not taking anyone else!" Xebrek as he hurries closer to the scene.
(DM: Xebrek moves 30 feet, his move speed, closer. If he's close enough, i.e. 120 feet, he'll attack. I'll pop it in the spoiler. If not, given he was towards the back of the party, he'll dash to get ever closer.)
Xebrek hurries ahead, holding his crossbow, light in one hand, but yells some words of the divine before a jet of mystical energies hurls from his free hand.
Xebrek casts Lance of the Free at Orc #1:22 vs. AC. Hit:9 force damage.

right you are, totally did not think about that, whoops.
Shadow smiles as his bolt sinks deeply into the side of the orc and will once more move 30' closer to the orcs and attempt to shoot the same orc again, then after shooting Shadow will attempt to hide in the brush.

Saraa, still about 300 ft from the houses continues to dash toward the orcs, finishing at the road, approximately 200 ft from them.
Marun, seeing the others clearly engaging the orcs continues to walk toward the houses, closing another 30 ft. As he does so he again raises his bow, this time knowing the arrow is going to fly. He targets the remaining orc.
Averet hits the other orc with Magic Missiles as another of Wilick's arrows go wide. The orc yells out toward the other houses (I don't think anyone here speaks Orc) as it rushes forward to meet you. It moves 60 feet directly toward Evelyn and throws a javelin. Attack: 21 Damage: 9
Seemingly in reaction to the previous orc's call, one more orc turns the corner around that house and moves 90 feet toward the group (now around 60 feet in the direction of the main group from the front of the house). Three more orcs emerge from the other side of another house (not the burning one) and rush forward toward the group (now at the front of the closest house). They all carry greataxes and rush toward you with surprising speed as they look at you with anger in their eyes.

Evelyn stumbles as the javelin rips through her side. Seeing more and more orcs appear, she shoots off a bolt of white flames at the orc who attacked her as she continues to run towards the burning house.
Action: Sacred Flame- Dex Save: DC 14. Damage: 7Radiant
Movement: 30ft towards the burning house (50ft away)
OOC: No worries, just needed to know the distance.
"That's more like it! Come 'ere, ye durned stupid orcs!"
Grindal slows just enough to pull a handaxe from the loop at his belt, still holding the lance out behind him with one hand, and chucks it at the nearest orc.

[OOC: Am I correct that I would be roughly 80's from the closest Orc? I moved 60' total so was at 140' from the orc,'s and then some came around the corner and charged 60' I assume? which makes then at 80' from me, and I am assuming I am hidden from them?]
Shadow studies the situation and tries to determine which Orc might be in charge and then will take a shot at it.
Averet shrugs to himself before dashing 60 ft towards the house.
"Oh no..." Xebrek says with a look of horror on his face. "No, no no no..." He repeats as he rushes as quick as he can towards the house.
(Dash towards the house.)

Xebrek and Shadow manage to finish off the first orc as they begin to turn around.
Evelyn keeps running towards the burning house, preparing to cast Create or Destroy Water when she's in range.
Movement: Another 60ft towards the burning house. (80ft left)
"Durned archers! Ye're takin' me fun!"
Grindal continues to rush forward, drawing his lance along the way.

ooc: not the best of starts 😳
Averet is going to move 30 ft closer to cast Magic Missile on any orc he can see. Damage: 8
If there aren't any within range, than he'll continue running towards the houses with the others.

You can all act again in any order.
Averet is going to maintain his distance and cast Fire Bolt on the same orc he had just attacked with Magic Missile.
Attack: 19 Damage: 1

Saraa crosses the road and streaks toward the orcs, now only 100 ft from the house and about 10-15ft from the closest advancing orcs..
Wilick continues his steady advance, again raising his bow and firing again at the single orc which emerged from the neighbouring house.
Attack: 23 Damage: 6
OOC: Can I get a picture of where Grindal is at in relation to the orcs now that they've moved? Is Grindal within 25 feet of any?
See my profile for all my PbP threads!
@Grindal Sorry, can't make a map right now. The closest orc to you is still 40 feet away.
OOC: No worries, just needed to know the distance.
"That's more like it! Come 'ere, ye durned stupid orcs!"
Grindal slows just enough to pull a handaxe from the loop at his belt, still holding the lance out behind him with one hand, and chucks it at the nearest orc.
Movement: 25 feet toward the nearest orc
Interaction: Drawing a handaxe
Action: Thrown Handaxe Attack against nearest orc Attack Roll: 24 Damage Roll: 10
OOC: Grindal's still got it!

Shadow studies the situation and tries to determine which Orc might be in charge and then will take a shot at it.
Light Crossbow (sneak attack): Attack: 18 Damage: 7
Sneak Attack Damage: 9
then Shadow will start to work around the charging Orcs to get behind them attempting to move as silently as he can (15' movement).
Bonus Acton Hide: 23
OOC: Have we all given our actions for this round of combat?
