Elfa waves her hands at the two orcs in front of Cackie and Lei-Tana, enticing them to rest their heavy eyelids. The orcs, wounded and weak, both succumb to the enchantment and fall asleep.
Cackie guzzles down a healing potion to restore some of the damage inflicted by orcy axes, deep gashes stitching themselves together as he drinks deep from the bottle before dropping it to the ground.
Inside the gatehouse, ThunderFist swings his mighty axe twice – one blow connects with the orc to his west and gouges a deep wound in its shoulder.
The four orcs approaching from the east reach the party, roaring with bloodlust as they swing their greataxes.
Attack on Lei-Tana Attack: 23 Damage: 14

Attack 4 on ThunderFist Attack: 8 Damage: 9
Attack 1 on Stonelynn Attack: 6 Damage: 10
Attack 2 on Stonelynn Attack: 16 Damage: 6
Under the assault, every member of the party is hit except for Elfa. ThunderFist and Stonelynn fare particularly badly, both falling unconscious at their attackers' feet.
(Stonelynn's turn, please make a death saving throw by rolling a d20)
Lhia returns from hiding behind the tree and moves with 30ft of the downed adventurers
“We need to leave, NOW! “ he shouts and casts Chanel divinity
As an action, you present your holy symbol and evoke healing energy that can restore a number of hit points equal to five times your cleric level. (15)Choose any creatures within 30 feet of you, and divide those hit points among them. This feature can restore a creature to no more than half of its hit point maximum. You can’t use this feature on an undead or a construct
Knowing this may be the last time he could do it, Cackie takes a drink of ale from his sippy cup. He spends his final ki point to unleash a flurry of blows on the surrounding orcs, using the trusty toe scratcher of a thousand stenches to start the attack.
(Success; three successes means you are stable and no longer dying)
Lhia arrives like a hero, albeit one who just legged it and left everyone to die before a swift change of heart. He invokes the power of his deity to heal Elfa and return both ThunderFist and Stonelynn to consciousness (no more need for death saving throws from either of you, but both are still prone)
Not far behind the fickle cleric, the hulking form of Diplomat appears to be running back into the fight.
(I have been a little judicious with the area of Thunderwave so that Lei-Tana did not have to draw an Opportunity Attack from an orc)
Lei-Tana unleashes a blast of Thunder energy in a large cube in front of her, facing south-east. Using her evocation training, the wizard skillfully sculpts the spell’s force around Cackie and Elfa so that they are unaffected. Spell damage 6

The spell rips through the horde of orcs, although most of them see off the worst of the damage with their natural toughness. One is thrown backwards, almost hitting his friend. None are killed though, and the sleeping orcs are awakened by the blast.
With a mighty roar, Diplomat rips into the two orcs near Elfa, using teeth and claws to defend his friend.
Bite Attack: 23 Damage: 5
Claw Attack: 26 Damage: 14
One orc falls dead with a scream, the other howls in agony as big bear claws rake down his torso
Stonelynn looks around her. Things do not look good in the courtyard...
She casts Minor Illusion and shouts "the rest of our party has arrived - you're in trouble now!" at the Orcs in the courtyard. The increasing sound of many boots hitting the ground can be heard along with the jingle of horses harnesses and clinking armour. It echoes around the courtyard. She takes a fighting stance and bares her teeth in an attempt to sell the illusion and to instil fear into the surviving Orcs.
Thunderfist sits bolt upright, to the dismay of the surrounding orcs, chucks back a healing potion (pretty sure he has one) and goes back into a rage and gets to his feet.
He then looks straight into the eyes of the orc in front of him and makes a throat slitting gesture , his eyes rolling into the back of his head all the while.
He them boots the orc, causing it to double over, and lifts the orc by it's torso so that the orc is now upside down and then hits him with a tombstone piledriver from he'll. driving the orc's head into the floor.
He then proceeded to pin the orc for a 3 count, to which the orc had no chance of kicking out.
(It takes an action to drink a potion, so ThunderFist can either do that or do a weapon attack, or a Grapple attempt – which requires an Athletics check)
Somewhere in the distance hiding behind trees you can make out the sound of a man doing ab crunches…
Elfa casts her sleep spell again.
She also drinks her healing potion and hands her second potion to Lei-Tana.
"you got any ideas, or spells Lei-Tana"
The situation sure did look sticky but Elfa was sure she they would all come out the other end.

Not far behind the fickle cleric, the hulking form of Diplomat appears to be running back into the fight.
(Lei-Tana's turn, then Elfa. I have Cackie’s)
Lei-Tana casts Thunderwave again, in the hopes of finishing off the 2 sleeping orcs and 2 awake ones closest to her!
Skilfully avoiding Cackie in the process...

"Well done Diplomat!!!! That was so brave! She ruffled Diplomats head"
Elfa fires Eldritch Blast at the Orc that's diagonal to her.
Attack: 22 Damage: 7
Elfa's eldritch blast takes the head clean off the orc, its decapitated body slumping into Diplomat and then dropping to the floor.
Cackie unleashes a whirlwind of attacks, bravely finishing off the two prone and newly-awake orcs first before gravely wounding the orc to his east.
The remaining orcs start to look unsure of themselves; half their numbers have been downed and the battle may be turning against them...
(ThunderFist's turn, then the orcs, so make it a good one!)
Updated map after all that carnage, orcs with a 'blood drip' symbol look badly wounded (below half HP):
Stonelynn looks around her. Things do not look good in the courtyard...

Assuming thunderfist will take damage in the following round, he uses stone endurance.
