As the first Orc regains his footing, clearly still set on killing Krunchy (Must be the tinkling sound of Krunchys armor), Talons mace lands squarely in the Orcs skull with a sickening sound of splintering bone and a wet splatter.
Out of the corner of Rey’s eye, he sees the third Orc lunging for an attack. Dropping to one knee, he swings his arm up, deflecting the force of the javelin away.
OOC: Orc #1 is Dead, Orc #2 is badly hurt and missing the lower half of his arm, those are the Orcs close to Morgram and Krunchy. Orc 3 and 4 are close to Rey, Orc 4 is hurt, Orc 3 is untouched. All are wielding great axes except #3, who is using a javelin.
Morgram is badly injured, Rey is seriously injured, and Krunchy remains offended at the Orcs taste in food.
Turn Order:
Krunchy (20) (Big Boss!)
Morgram (18)
Creature 2 (15)
Xander (13)
Rey (12)
Talon (12)
Creature 1 (12)(Dead)
Creature 4 (11)
Creature 3 (5)
Valmarir (4)
Next up is Valmarir, followed by Krunchy then Morgram!
The fourth Orc, recovering from Rey’s blow, turns towards Rey and lifts his axe.
Attack: 13
Damage: 12
As the axe slides across Rey’s midriff, he doubles over slightly before slowly raising his head with a grin. His blue and amber eyes glinting with wild fury. Damage halved to 6thanks to rage :)

OOC: While we wait on Val's action (remember to add 1d4 Val, if you roll an attack from Krunchy's Bless), just so I know–Morgram I assume you're fairly close to 0 hp from that crit by the orc earlier?
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Valmarir is going to use his bonus action to Healing Word Morgram at 1st level: 6
And then cast Shatter on any Orcs that are within 10 feet of each other, and 60 feet away from me, at 2nd level. It'll take 19 damage unless it succeeds on a DC 15 Con save, in which case it'll take half damage.
Morgram, feels a tingling sensation followed by a gentle warmth that fills his body. He can feel bones popping back into place, and the drowsiness from blood loss dissipate like fog in the afternoon. As his senses sharpen, he looks up to see the second Orc staring him in the eyes with an intense hatred... although... those eyes... something isn't quite right about them.
Suddenly, an ear shattering explosion rocked the clearing as if a bolt of lightening had struck in the middle of them. A gust of wind shook the trees and dirt, leaves, and moss flew about the area as if blown by a great explosion. When the dust settled, the second Orc lay dead at Morgrams feet. Orcish blood oozing from the ears, eyes, and nostrils.
As dirt settles, the rest of party regains it's ability to see the situation. The explosion that Valmarir had summoned killed the second Orc. The Third Orc lay propped against a tree, it's face contorted in an expression of disbelief. Blood also streamed from its eyes, nose, and ears. With a final exhale, the head drops to it's chest, and it goes silent.
The Fourth Orc is close to Rey, and brings himself to his knees, unsheathing a large, crooked dagger. Blood is also streaming from his face, but he intends to take one with him.
As the hulking brute slowly makes his way towards Rey, Rey's hearing can just make out the sound of a set of light footstep heading towards him. As they grow near, they stop suddenly and Rey can make out a small shape flying through the air, in his direction. He hears the growing sound of the fluttering of clothes - the unsheathing of daggers! The shape lands solidly on the back of the Orc accompanied by the sound of blades entering on either side of the Orcs neck.
The Orc crumples dead to the ground. As the shape gains its feet, you can see that whoever it is, she's an elf.

OOC: All Orcs are dead! Nice job, you guys wrecked 'em!
Krunchy and Rey, could you set your characters to use XP instead of milestone achievement? I've added 80XP to everyone for this encounter. I'll add (or you can, if you prefer) 80 to your XP once you've switched over.
I'd like to introduce a new player who was kind enough to back-fill Teak. Hanyouslayer, everyone; everyone, Hanyouslayer! I'll let the group tend to itself and figure out what this elf is all about!
OOC: Welcome Hanuouslayer :) Rey has been changed to xp and I’ll leave it in your hands to amend.
Still riled up from the blood pumping through his veins, Rey gives a stand-offish look at the Elf. “Speak, now!” He roars, fighting the rage inside of him and the urge to keep attacking.
Talon rushes at the first Orc who Morgram had brought to his knees. Bringing his mace high, he lunges to attack!
Attack: 22
Damage:11

The Orc crumples and falls dead where he stood.
The fourth Orc, recovering from Rey’s blow, turns towards Rey and lifts his axe.

Damage: 12
The fourth Orc bellows as he swings his axe at Rey, catching him in the midriff.
The Third Orc, whose face was still spattered with the blood of his brother, also turns his attention on Rey.
The third Orc, armed with a Javelin, stabs viscously at Rey.
Attack: 16
Damage: 4
Out of the corner of Rey’s eye, he sees the third Orc lunging for an attack. Dropping to one knee, he swings his arm up, deflecting the force of the javelin away.

OOC: You and I seem to keep similar hours. Do you have the other half of this amulet?? ;-D
No, you are no longer in combat. Thanks for checking on that, I'll make sure to point that out going forward.
