Jasper pulls the spear from the Orc’s back and realizes that it was his blow that ended its life. His eyes go a bit tunnel vision and the sound of the room becomes silent. Staggering back a little bit, a blast of dark energy hits the orc that he didn’t see pass by him and blood suddenly splashing his torso from the swipe of Khessa’s sword brings his senses back. His hands are shaking from the taking of another’s life. Then he hears the angry Guttural words come from the entrance. He turns to see another orc charging and screaming. Jasper grips his spear tight and moves to attack the charging orc.
Attack: 21 Damage: 6

As Jasper attacks, the shimmering glow from the Sanctuary spell fades. Jasper moves to left side of the orc pulling his spear from its abdomen. ‘I just need to stop this orc.’

Jasper seeing this ghostly hand appear to grab the orc gave him a good opening for attack. Jasper briefly glancing at Echo as he pulls spear out moves to defend himself.

The fourth orc staggers back as the ghostly hand claws at his face. He shakes his head and yells, but before he can act, Jasper is there with a spear, driving it deep into the orc's stomach. He howls in pain and anger and glares at Jasper.
The orc raises its greataxe high in the air and brings it around in a vicious swing toward the elf.
"No!" Khessa exclaims, full of anguish, upon seeing the orc raising its greataxe high in the air and bringing it around in a vicious swing toward the elf "You had an appointment with ME you, stupid brute! Leave my favorite elf alone!"
She starts to dash forward, but she realizes she can't be faster than the greataxe coming down. Instead, she swiftly intones one of the latest spells she has learned, sending with an elegant gesture three enchanted darts of pure energy against the orc.
The clang of the weapon has not yet died down, that the magical missiles hit the orc, despite his attempts to block or dodge them at the last moment... they curve mockingly and then hti swiftly and infallibly the target. A magic missile never misses!
The blonde arcane warrior then runs at Jasper's side, with her greatsword still firmly held in both hands, just in case the orc is not yet out of action, while her blue eyes are checking, worried, the condition of the cleric: "How are you Jasper? The blow seemed so strong! Did the armor protect you? Or..."
"Let's tie him up!" Khessa advises "Whether we decide to interrogate him (in case he knows anything about Roywyn) or we decide to kill him, if we tie him up first we will have less problems"
As the greataxe comes down onto Jasper’s shield, three blast of energy strikes the orc. The axe stays wedged in his shield as the orc falls to the ground. Hearing Khessa’s voice, Jasper looks to her and dropping his shield to the ground. Holding his left arm, bleeding from a large wound. I forgot my armor. Wincing from the pain I won’t make that mistake again. Jasper tries to take the cloth sash from his waist but is struggling… “I need to wrap my arm.”
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Eyes still ragged, inky pools of darkness, Rel quickly ties up the orc leader with her hempen rope, transferring her Hex to them as she does (transferring does no damage so they don't wake up, just adds to damage from attacks). The blank tendril of shadow, pulsating slightly, still connects her earrings to the orc leader's face (Hexblade's Curse) for over half a minute longer. She pushes the orc prone and restrained on his stomach, face so he can see all three of his dead companions lying in their pools of blood, some of them darkened and decayed with necrotic damage.
She does not know orcish so she speaks common after slapping the orc leader awake, knee on their back, voice guttural and echoing as if in a vast chasm.
"Listen closely as I will not repeat myself. The gnomes of Inkbow Vale, just west of Phandalin. If you know what became of them after the orcs attacked, now is the time to speak. Not in a few seconds. Now." The pulsing of the black tendril connecting to the orc's face deepens.
Echo looks to Jasper after he was targeted, but seeing that he is safe after Khessa’s incredible magic knocked the orc down, she comes forward to stand near Rel, “you can’t fight anymore, you can’t run, answer her questions! Also what in the heavens were you all doing here anyway?”
(ooc: helping Rel with intimidation so @Tybard can roll again! Holding a shocking grasp if the orc tries to attack, if she can do that. but I’m also good with just using an action to help)

Jasper tries to take the cloth sash from his waist but is struggling… “I need to wrap my arm.”...
"Jasper... But how..." Khessa is now astonished "You weren't wearing armor ?! And all the same you threw yourself among the orcs to defend me..." wonder, reproach and sweetness mix in an inextricable alchemy in her blue eyes "You were incredibly brave," the blonde arcane warrior helps the elf to bandage his wound "but you shouldn't have done that... You see? I was wearing my armor... and I also have my magic with which I can block some hits... I wasn't exactly the typical 'damsel in distress'!"
"Thanks anyway" she hugs him, when she has washed and bandaged the cut as best she can, slowly closing her own eyes and hoping to give him some comfort with her warmth. "Luckily you had at least your shield..." murmurs the tall warrior-mage, lost in the pleasant sensation of his warmth and the scent of his hair "Those heavy blades can deliver tremendous blows... The greataxe could have severed your hand or arm!" she shivers for a moment "How brutal, these monsters!"
(OOC: This is the same woman who, a few moments before, almost cut an orc in half with a slash of her greatsword...)
“More foolish than brave.” Hands shaking still and trying not to let Khessa or anyone else see. “Ummm, my shield!” Jasper pries the great axe from the shield and looks hard at the large gash down the center. “I don’t think this will be much use anymore. Maybe one or two more hits. Time to get a new one.”

"You're welcome, Jasper" replies Khessa, reluctant to end the hug. "Just be careful... I've already lost so many people that were important to me... I don't want to lose one more"her blue eyes stare into his. "Above all, I don't want to lose you".
The blonde arcane warrior finally releases the elf and, still dripping orc blood, heads to Rel, Echo and the prisoner, asking: "So? Is the last one talking? Or shall we start cutting him to pieces? I just hope orc gods are good with puzzles," she lets out an exaggerated maniacal laughter "or they will have troubles making his body whole again!" and slowly unsheats her greatsword...
The three definitely have this orc covered so Jasper goes back to the bed chamber to tell the dwarves all is fine. “We have ended the threat. The others have tied up the leader orc and is asking him questions. Best to stay out of it.” Jasper begins to put his armor back on and is a bit slow going. Favoring his left arm.

Khessa's magic missiles strike the fourth orc, and he falls backward, groaning. He slumps to the ground, dead.
