He smirks politely, trying to ease a bit of the tension they've been under for the last several days.

As soon as Grimnir reproduces the smoke signals you hear a horn blast in the distance, it seems to be coming from where you saw the smoke signals. In a matter of seconds you hear another sound. This sound is the deafening crash of wood against metal as you turn to see a band of orc younglings smash a battering ram into the gate. The orcs overpower the gate in a matter of seconds, however; in their excitement they rush in without thinking twice about it. You see about 6 orcs rush in all at once and 4 of them are tangled in the net trap, the remaining orc younglings attempt to get the net off of their compatriots. As they roll around struggling with the net, you hear them howl in pain as they roll over the nails they take 4 damage. Directly across from you, you see grappling hooks sail high into the air and catch on the top of the wall. You see 4 Orc younglings scale it instantly, as soon as their feet touch the ground they rush toward you.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Player Turn Begin:
Pafaren:
You see Pafaren cast a panicked glance at Grimnir as he says "Well... Here goes nothing." He opens his cloak to reveal a couple dozen small vials sitting in tiny pockets. He takes aim at the orcs distracted by the net trap and he throws the vial into the middle of the pack.
The throw: 11
Orc Younglings Dex Saves.
8
2
16
10
9
12
Those who fail on a DC 15 Dex save take: 4 damage
You see 5 of the 6 orcs fly back from the force of a large explosion, you get the impression that the old alchemist has a few tricks up his sleeve. He smiles at Grimnir as the orc younglings struggle to get back on their feet.
Jana:
Jana takes a very ornate crossbow off of her shoulder and levels toward the charging orcs. She lets the bolt fly and as it leaves the crossbow, you do you see a small burst of blue smoke from the end of the crossbow.
Jana shoots into the charging pack 10 for 4 damage.
Orc saving throw: 1d20= 19
The bolt strikes one of the orcs in the arm. You see him pause for a moment, then he seizes up completely and is paralyzed.
Colter
Colter steps up in front of Jana and draws two daggers. They crackle and pop with energy as you see small bolts of lightning scatter all around the blades.
Colter readies the action to attack once the orcs are within range.
All Players:
Looks like it's time for a battle. Please try to make your turn within 24 hours. The sooner the better though.
**Also ignore that modified dice roll notification. I rolled the wrong thing once and had to edit it.
Simultaniously you both cast bolts of energy from your hands. The blinding white burst from Varis connects with the orc that is leading the pack. It hits wit an audible crack, and as a blinding flash fills the area Anders fire bolt hurls directly into the light. You hear a small burst and once the light subsides you see nothing but charred ash where the lead orc was, and an orc rolling around on the ground trying to put out the flames that engulf him.
Orc 1: Vaporized
Orc 2: rolling around on the ground on fire
Orc 3: still charging ahead
Orc 4: paralyzed mid stride with a cross bow bolt in his arm.
Grimnir unsheathes his sword and with a roar he clanks it against his shield and charges the incoming orcs, trying to put distance between them and his party members.
I'm happy to attack any remaining orc warriors, whichever are left standing anyway, hahaha.
To hit: 19

Grimnir
You rush forward, and with one mighty cleave, drop the last charging orc where he stands.
End Players Turn
Begin Enemy Turn
The orc rolling on the ground pats the last of the flames out and stands. He takes aim at Grimnir throws his spear, despite being only 15 feet away.
To hit: 15 Damage: 4
The orc puts all of his energy into throwing the spear at you, but throws it slips out of his hand, flying straight up into the air. The orc looks around in conusion only to be struck by the spear as it comes back down. He takes2Damage, and promptly dies.
The orc in the net trap finds his way out, as the others gather themselves after being blasted by Pafarens potion. 3 charge ahead toward you, while the other three simultaneously throw their spears. One spear heads toward Guido, one to Varis, and one to Pafaren
Guido: to hit 11 Damage 3
Varis: to hit 11 Damage 2
Pafaren: to hit 6 Damage 3
All of the spears land feet short. You don't even flinch. However the one that was aimed for Pafaren strikes true, and sends him stumbling back. You see that he is in pain, but still able.
As the orcs from the gate make their moves, you see on the other side the top of a ladder crest the wall, and you see a single orc at the top with a short bow getting ready to take a shot.
Although Varis knows an orc is charging right at him, he feels that the ladder is a bigger problem. He casts Sacred Flame toward the orc at the top of the ladder.
Orc must succeed on a Dex saving throw. I'm trying to figure out what it's supposed to beat. I believe it's 8+WIS+Prof. So, if that's correct, it needs to beat a 12.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Guido and Varis
Orc Int Save: 0
Guido casts the illusion and you see the orc swatting at the air, Varis noticing this sends a ray of fiery energy toward him, it strikes true and make the orc feel as if the hornets are devouring him, he jumps off the ladder screaming in terror. Your teamwork has paid off.
Not possessing a ranged weapon of his own but being familiar with the use of a spear, Grimnir attempts to take out the cresting orcs with one of the spears left from the dead orcs.
Uncertain how I need to roll for this, so I can either ask Chai to roll the dice or wait for him to let me know what to roll based on my character sheet and the damage of the spears the orcs are carrying.
:D
After throwing the spear he shouts to the others, "The vials, throw the vials at the wall and ignite them!"

Grimnir
Go ahead and roll an attack since it's ranged I think it should be 1d20+dexmod and go ahead and roll 1d6 damage. Also, the one you are aiming for has been disposed of, you can aim at someone else if you want though!
Ander
You send a fiery blast toward the incoming orcs. It strikes the orc on the right with such force that it travels straight through him. He drops to the ground instantly.
Pafaren
You see Pafaren reach into his coat once more, this time producing a large globe shaped vial. He takes his aim at the 3 orcs throwing spears. As he raises his arm to throw you can tell his is in bad shape, there is blood starting to pool under his arm from the spear attack.
The throw: 11 The damage 6
You see Pafaren stumble foward as he throws, he grasps at his side and winces in pain. As the vial crashes to the ground by the orcs you see an arch of bright blue lightning bursts from the vial.
Jana
Jana reloads a bolt into her cross bow, and aims past the charging orcs to the ones by the gate throwing the spears. You hear her exclaim "Hey! Lookout!"As she fires through the group.
The shot: 20 The damage: 5 Orc will save: 13
You see a cloud of blue smoke flash as the bolt flies toward its target. It strikes one of the orcs in the stomach. You see him twitch for a moment before falling face down.
Colter
Colter moves up to grab one of the spears that landed in front of the group. He pulls his arm back and attempts to hit one of the remaining charging orcs.
To hit: 11 Damage: 3
Colter throws the spear as hard as he could, but misses by about 5 yards.
Update:
There are 2 orcs left by the gate throwing spears.
There are 2 orcs left charging from the gate toward your group, they are pretty close, you know they will be within striking range soon.
There is one orc left from the initial wave still paralyzed.
The orc on the ladder jumped back down and ran away in terror
CRITICAL HIT: You wait as the two charging orcs approach your allies. You line up your throw and right as they line up you let it fly. The spear travels clean through the first orc and gets lodged in the second. Both orcs fall motionless on the ground.
Update:
2 Orcs throwing spears by the gate.
1 Orc paralyzed in the middle of the outpost.
