”Maybe we can lure some out with the wand of pyrotechnics?” Jasper suggests. ”Khessa and Katarina, you can hide outside the door and flank them when they rush out. Echo and I can be out in the open about 40 feet away. And Tookrashk can fly above to ambush.” Jasper ponders a moment. “The orcs may not see the others and think me and Echo are easy pickings.” Jasper smiles hoping his idea is good. “What do you all think?”
"I think is a good plan, dear," Khessa smiles "but I'm scared of the possibility that it's not just the three orcs in the room who notice the effects of the wand of pyrotechnics... If all the orcs in the house notice it, we risk having to face them en masse. That's why I'd prefer the idea of a sudden attack on our part - since they don't know we're here and thus they don't expect hostility, we should have the advantage of the surprise anyway. And possibly a quick win".
”Yes,yes. Of course. That would bring more upon us.“ Jasper thinks to himself. ‘How can I help?’ “Oh! Before we rush in, I will Bless you and Katarina’s attacks.”
”I’m ready when you are!”
Jasper casts Bless on Khessa, Katarina and Echo as we rush in. (Add 1d4 to attacks and saving throws)
Jasper follows the others into the farmhouse through the front entrance. “Tookrashk, be ready if we need you.” Jasper whispers. “If we come running out, attack anything chasing us.“ Jasper nods to Tookrashk.
Jasper enters the farmhouse ready to bless the others.
Unfortunately, there is one particularly perceptive orc who exclaims to his fellows, "Eh? What's that? Sounds like footsteps. Someone's coming!" to his companions as you approach the farmhouse.
You won't get a surprise round, but roll for initiative!
So Jasper casting bless on the others going into the house, he fumbles with his vials and looks down momentarily bumping into Katarina. When casting bless, the vial of holy water slips from his hands shattering on the ground. Jasper grits his teeth with embarrassment. “Oh no! Sorry!” Jasper eyes widen hearing the orcs. “I think they heard us. Attack now?” Jasper stays at the door to the next room concentrating on bless.(rounds ticking down)

Khessa turns to her beloved elf, trying to be optimistic: "We shall see, Jasper... maybe they did not hear us..." but as she turns, she inadvertently bumps the heavy pommel of her greatsword against her own metal armor, with a loud clatter.
'Turns out the stealthier of us is Tookrashk...' thinks the blonde arcane warrior with irony.
"... or maybe they did" the tall adventuress concludes then, at first embarrassed by her own awkwardness, but then confident in her and her companions' abilities. "Oh, well, just let's wipe out these ruthless raiders".
As you enter the farmhouse you see three orcs in armor glaring back at you, their weapons raised. One of them points at you and says something in the orcish language. It's clear they are ready for a fight!
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Katarina quickly decides that the best defense is a rapid and aggressive offense! As soon as the door opens, Kattarina rushes in like a cat pouncing on a mouse, as her mind enters that state of absolute focus!
Katarina uses her Bonus action to activate her Rage.
Wild magic surge: 8
She descends upon the nearest orc, swinging her greateaxe with all her strength!
Attack: 24 Damage: 7

Wild magic surge: "A bolt of light shoots from your chest. Another creature of your choice that you can see within 30 feet of you must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or take 1d6 radiant damage and be blinded until the start of your next turn. Until your rage ends, you can use this effect again on each of your turns as a bonus action."
The burning radiant light will target Orc 1 as Katarina attempts to chop his head off with her axe. Con save DC 14.
Echo follows Khessa and leaves Sugar at the pasture.
Echo gasps when she follows everyone else and finally sees the orcs over Khessa and Jasper's shoulders. She panics for a moment because of the lack of space, and afraid that her magic would accidentally catch her friends as well. "Watch out!" But she steels herself and sticks to the just right outside of the door and aims a ray of sickness at Orc 2.
