Rel's black eyes turn to the orc in melee with Khessa. She utters another strange word in Elvish, garbled somehow as if the call of a giant bird. Calling down a different type of curse this time, with her black tendril still connected to the sleeping orc leader.
Bonus action: casting Hex on Orc 3 ((who now has disadvantage on strength-based checks and takes an extra d6 necrotic damage per hit from Rel.)
The now familiar jet black beam of energy shoots out towards the orc still standing.

(Not sure why it says I manipulated the roll - I only entered the dice roll once. That is literally min damage on a 1d10+1d6, so 1 force damage, 1 necrotic.)
Rel turns to properly respond to Khessa but, failing to properly multi-task, only grazes the orc with her blast of inky energy, turning a bit of their arm black. Angry at herself, she resets her focus and glares at Orc 3 and Orc 4 if they enter her view.
You have advantage on your attack against Orc 3 because he's under the Sleep spell!
Oh, I got confused then, sorry. Khessa wants to attack an enemy that is awake! I thought orc3 was. If not, then the attack would have been made with Fire bolt (she does mot want to leave her position).
If there is an enemy that is awake and under Jasper's spell, then the attack would have been made with advantage, with firts roll being a nat 1.
Second roll: Attack: 20 Damage: 10
If all the enemies that are awake are NOT under Jasper's spell, then the attack was still a nat 1 and missed.
Echo inhales sharply seeing the orcs advance on them, she holds out a hand to the closest orc near Khessa, and shadows gather to attempt to interfere with their movement. She whines a little in frustration when she does so, “what do y’all want? Leave us alone..!”
(ooc: can’t see the map rn so I’ll just say echo attacks the nearest one to her!
ray of sickness: Attack: 21 Damage: 12 and the orc has to make a DC 13 CON save or be poisoned till the end of Echo’s next turn
also just to confirm, we didn’t get a long rest right?)

Go ahead and attack Orc 2 with Firebolt since it's the only Orc awake (in view) and isn't under Faerie Fire.

No long rest yet, and I'll say your Ray of Sickness hits Orc 3. Orc 3 is now looking very, very bad, barely on his feet.
Awakened by the damage from Rel's Hex and Echo's Ray of Sickness, Orc 3, badly wounded, yells in pain and fury and tries to attack Khessa with his greataxe again, because she is closest.
Khessa is a bit angry with herself for having missed the orc so badly with her Fire bolt. She is also incredibly worried, as she sees Jasper exposing himself; she would have preferred that he had stayed safe, behind her... But the blonde arcane warrior quickly forces her attention back on the battle: 'Focus, Khessa... Those brutes are not here to chat or play... but to kill without mercy, like they are used to do! Jasper knows what he's doing. And the best way to help him (and of course the others) is to start scoring a few hits'.
So the tall warrior-mage is not caught off guard by the tracherous swing of the awakened orc: a quick gesture while whispering arcane words and an invisibile (but quite hard) barrier blocks the incoming blade.
Jasper's attack sends Orc 3 gurgling to the ground, blood erupting from his back and mouth.
The other orcs look at each other and then roar in fury at witnessing the downfall of their companion, all except for the orc leader (1) who is still unconscious on his feet, snoring a little.
Orc 2 walks over the body of his comrade and attempts to get vengeance by swinging his greataxe at Khessa.

The gaping black chasms of Rel's eyes turn towards Orc 2 as she transfers her Hex to it as a bonus action (if it wasn't already on Orc 2.)
Standing behind Khessa and firing over her shoulder, another dark Eldritch Blast beam shoots forth from her earrings through her fingertips towards Orc 2. (Damage type: Force.)
Attack: 19 Damage: 2
(Will add necrotic damage from Hex in next post in case of a hit.)

So 3 force damage plus 6 necrotic damage from Hex, assuming a hit.
That's a hit! The orc stumbles back a bit, grunting from the force of Rel's spell. Part of his skin starts to shrivel and turn black, affected by a necrotic energy, and he howls in pain and glares at Rel.
Khessa, smiling, easily deflected Orc 2's attack, powerful but very predictable, and uses the brute's own strength against him, to whip her heavy blade into a counter-attack.
The blonde arcane warrior is eager to keep the enemies attention on herself, so she mocks the orcs, assuming an exaggeratedly perplexed expression: "I don't understand why you fall so quickly... What's your problem? Do you stumble over your shoelaces? Are your legs sagging with fear? Or are you just not used to fighting a woman who fights back?".
'If these brutes keep focusing on me, Jasper should be safe... I just hope that, if they can not understand common, they at least grasp my tone of taunt'

Echo gasps when the orc speaks, “don’t say anything if you have nothing nice to say!” And reaching towards them, a ghastly hand appearing in thin air and clawing at their face.

Jasper slides around to the other side of the orc that attacked Khessa (Flanking?) and attacks it from behind as it getting up.
After attacking, Jasper casts Sanctuary on himself.

Orc3 and Jasper acted, so orc2 and orc4 are up, I think.
Jasper's attack sends Orc 3 gurgling to the ground, blood erupting from his back and mouth.
The other orcs look at each other and then roar in fury at witnessing the downfall of their companion, all except for the orc leader (1) who is still unconscious on his feet, snoring a little.
Orc 2 walks over the body of his comrade and attempts to get vengeance by swinging his greataxe at Khessa.
Attack: 7 Damage: 14
Orc 4 dashes 60 ft toward the sound of battle.
Khessa, Rel, and Echo are now up!

Khessa's blade nearly slices the second orc in two. He falls to the ground with a fountain of blood.
The fourth orc, the one who had stumbled into the trap, grows further enraged, his eyes fixed on the blonde warrior.
"You die first!" the orc growls in stilted Common speech. "You die and then filthy elves die! This our place now!"
