Barty's "Lost Mine of Phandelver"

Initiative:

The orc's eyes go wide when Tarok approaches, and rather than reply, immediately turns to flee toward the cave entrance.

Round 1 Order:
Players <=====
Orc

Tracking:
The orc is 60 feet from the cave entrance.
Tarok is 20 feet from the orc.

Fayten and Cinis are 150 feet from the orc.

Tarok draws his greatsword, closes in and attacks.

As per Great Weapon Fighting Style I can re-roll the 1 in the damage on the first attack.

"He will warn his companions, time for action."  Fayten quickly closes the distance (35 feet of movement puts Fayten at 115 feet away) and casts a guiding bolt at the orc: Attack: 6 Damage: 19

(OOC: yikes, let's hope that doesn't hit Tarok! And isn't it always that case that when you roll super good damage, the attack roll is off.  sigh.)

Nemean looses an arrow at the orc and then moves to close distance. 

Attack: 16 Damage: 10

DM Screen:

Fayten DEX Save: 16

Tarok sprints toward the orc, catching up to it while it turns to flee, arcing his greatsword through hide armor and opening a massive wound across the orc's back. Fayten thrusts his hand forward, launching a tremendous flash of light across the hill with so much force that it rocks him backwards, nearly causing him to lose his footing. The bolt streaks comically high, but the orc never sees it after Nemean's arrow lands in its skull, felling it well outside the cave mouth before it can even make a noise. 

==Fayten=Elf=Cleric==

Fayten tries to get a look inside the cave without being seen: stealth: 19

Cautiously approaching the mouth of the cave, Fayten hears the growls and grumbles of creatures within, and a voice that is deeper and booming than an orc's. From the outside of the cave, three orcs can be seen sitting within the area in view.

Nemean will rush up to Tarok and Fayten, dragging the orc body out of sight from the cave entrance. He whispers to the others “we can set an ambush for the rest of them, and pelt then with our missles as the charge down this hallway.”

"Sounds good to me" Tarok says quietly, stowing his sword and drawing his crossbow.

Quietly Fayten informs the others of what he sees in the cave.  "There are three that I can see and there is a voice I can hear that is louder, none orc from what I can figure out.  I agree with the plan.  Let's get in position."  Fayten takes position to one side of the cave (left if looking at it from the front) and waits for the signal.

While the group is within range Fayten will cast bless on Tarok, Cinis, and Nemean.

Tarok waits for everyone to be in position, readies his crossbow, and then yells "Help!" in Orcish toward the cave mouth.

Nemean readies his bow and prepares to fire once the orcs come into range.

DM Screen:

Nemean Readied Longbow + Bless: 27
Damage: 5

An orc enters view and immediately stumbles back when Nemean looses an arrow into its chest. Grabbing at the arrow's shaft, the orc shouts back into the cave. "Brughor! Sig lok nakku darg!". A clamor from inside reveals that the others are preparing to fight.

For Tarok:

Initiative:

The wounded orc charges forward at Nemean with incredible speed, swinging his greataxe in a rage. Four orcs pour out of the cave entrance close behind him, whooping excitedly at the prospect of a fight.

Greataxe Attack: 6

Nemean easily ducks the heavy swing.

Round 1 Order:
Enemies
Players <=====

Tracking:
One wounded orc is engaged in melee with Nemean.
Four orcs are charging out of the cave, 30 feet away.

==Fayten=Elf=Cleric==

Fayten channels his divine guide and casts Toll the Dead at the injured orc in melee with Nemean: (DC 13 wisdom save or take: 1 damage)

Tarok drops his crossbow by his side and draws his longsword and shield to meet the Orcs. He runs to join Nemean, assaulting the orc from the side.

Attack: 7 Damage: 11

 OOC: Do I get an attack with my readied crossbow? I was hoping to ambush them. Also, if the Orc dies from Fayten's spell, I'll still join Nemean, but I'll just ready an attack so we can meet the orcs together.

OOC: If the wounded orc is now dead, Nemean will try to get another ranged shot or two off. If it’s still alive I’ll start to switch to melee and engage him.

OOC: Sorry Tarok, I interpreted that as drawing the weapon rather than readying an action. If you include a specific condition to trigger the action that will help clarify in the future. I'll give Tarok an extra crossbow attack before he drops it.

Orc WIS Save: 5

Tarok Light Crossbow Attack: 20
Damage: 9

DM Screen:

Fayten simply points and the loud, deathly toll of a bell sounds through the air. The wounded orc suddenly withers before you, shriveling and shrinking into a shell of its former self. 

Nemean Longbow Attack + Bless: 23
Damage: 10

Cinis Eldritch Blast: 24
Damage: 5

In the entrance of the cave, the lead orc falls as Tarok's bolt, Nemean's arrow, and Cinis's magical blast strike it simultaneously.

Round 1 Order:
Enemies
Players <===== Tarok still to act

Tracking:
Three orcs are charging out of the cave, 30 feet away.

OOC: Giving Tarok the chance to redo his action since his original melee target is down. He can keep the same roll, just didn't want to assume he's rushing into the cave.

Tarok rushes to meet the 3 Orcs with his longsword and shield.

DM Screen:

Tarok darts into the cave, beating an orc's block and drawing blood through its armor along its side. 

Tovar Initiative: 20

Enemy Attack Rolls:

Tarok completely halts the orc charge, becoming an incredible defensive display. He accepts a hit against his chain mail for 14 slashing damage, slapping away the other two incoming greataxes with his sword and shield, continuing their momentum upward to deflect two incoming javelins from another pair of orcs that has rounded the inside of the cave and halted ten feet away. 

Round 2 Order:
