The orcs, their numbers now surprisingly low compared to the original squad, all team together for another assault against the party. They leave Graelor be, taking his limp body on the ground as a sign that he's dead, or if not, that they can deal with him whilst he's still unconscious later. The Eye tries to deal with the goblin pest on his shoulders, aiming to take him down once and for all, though can only attack with one hand as he would struggle to use it with two whilst Salamander is still on top of him from behind.
Orc 2 (Yellow) (-4): Attacks Sly with a Javelin: 18 to hit, 9 piercing damage on a hit. Orc 6 (Blue): Attacks Eggo Lass with a Greataxe: 12 to hit, 15 slashing damage on a hit.

[Please ignore the 22 on the Spirtual weapon attack, I forgot to change the attack roll bonus from a +5 to a +3. I can't edit it in case I mess up the rolls but it should be a Dirty 20]
Salamander Pie rides the waves. And by waves he means the orc's neck. He laughs and hollers like a cowboy on a stead. "YIPEE KAY YAY!" His crusty fingernails grip onto the big guy's neck. His momentary victory is cut short with a slash with a spear. It comes at him like speeding falcon- beak first! The goblin ducks. "HAHA MISSED ME"His tease is one of an old school raspberry blow.
SWISH. Moments later, struck in the back with a mystical sword, the goblin finds himself off his feet and on the floor, crumpled.'Spoke too soon'was his last thought.

I'm gonna say that you don't suffer an opportunity attack since you're using a ranged attack so the 'step' could just be flavour rather than explicit movement.
[[
Ranged attacks have disadvantage when there's a hostile within 5ft. So without moving away she'd have had just a normal attack (due to Salamander's eagle giving advantage to negate the disadvantage.) When making the decision, was weighing the importance of trying to take that Eye down vs risking an AoO.
From the description though, looks like the Eye looks it still has a lot of HP left still, right? //self-note: Command, Spiritual Weapon, feels like a cult fanatic.
@Salamander and Graelor, best of luck with living. Will try to medicine check you as soon as feasible.

Seeing the Eye of Gruumsh still stands and rather hardy, Eggo Lass sheathes her wand and strikes out with the dagger in hand.
Action: Attack with quarterstaff on the nearest orc: 18 to hit for 6 damage.
Bonus Action: Flurry of Blows 18 to hit for 7 damage. 7 to hit for 7 damage.
Bilyur uses both hands and brings the quarterstaff down towards the orc's head. Still clutching the staff, he spins and follows up with two swift kicks.
Sly curses in arcane words, grabs a handful of quills out of her bag and viciously stabs (9 force damage) the orc in front of her. She looks over to where Salamander and Graelor for a moment, gritting her teeth. She needed to hurry.

He doesn't manage to finish his sentence, as Bilyur has burst into the room, now free from his short bout of NPC Flu. He smashes his quarterstaff around the face of the Eye and they fall backwards, then Bilyur lunges forward and pummels the Eye's ribcage with a flurry of blows, even though some seem to fly past him in a blind rage.

Orc 2 is pierced by the Magic Missiles, blood gushing out from the three perfectly circular wounds, and he falls backwards into the doorway, dead.
Orc 5 is the only one left, and seeing as he has no comrades left and Bilyur has appeared to have annihilated the Eye, he takes the Disengage action and runs through the Southern door to retreat. Unless you choose to pursue him, you are out of initiative!
Eggo Lass takes out a goodberry and kneels at Salamander's side to feed it to the unconscious goblin. She turns to Sly and Bilyur, "Want to stabilize him" she gestures to Graelor, "While I take care of this?"
Then, after restoring Salamander to 1hp she walks over to Graelor and feeds him a berry too.
"I'd have liked to chase after that orc, but I feel we need to recover some strength first before running into who knows what else is in here." She looks around for any possibility defensive positions for a short rest. As she does so she calls upon the powers of a mysterious entity to guide her.

After being fed the goodberry, the lifeless goblin springs back to life once again. "RAGAHHH!"He shouts as he jumps up. He lands upright on all fours and snarls, ears pointed back against his head. "WHO WOKE ME UP?! WHO WOKE ME?" His eyes lock with Eggos Lass. "YOU!"He charges.
And then he hugs her, running up and jumping like a monkey with arms around her shoulders. His tail wraps around her waist to help him get a foothold. "THANK YOU!"With that he starts coughing."Aw ow."His grips goes unsteady as he slowly lets go and drops to the ground. "Hghh more..."His footwork needs some work as he shakily steps around the cobblestones lining the floor. He grabs at his forehead, eyes squinting.
"Yes. Yes. Yes! Give you... MORE!"He grumbles happily, casting goodberry once again. "Here!"He hands them all over to Eggo Lass. Unwilling to go ask for help, he also casts Cure Wounds on himself (for 5 HP for a total of 6/18 HP). The flow stops bleeding. "Yes. Yes. Rest would be good." He says to himself.

DM: Drakkenheim Mind and Matter + Blood Secrets + What's in the Here and Now;
Okay, so Graelor and Salamander are back up from the Goodberries, meaning they aren't dying anymore. Perfect. The rest of you are all fairly hurt and missing spell slots, apart from Bilyur but he's still missing Ki Points, so I think it's a good idea that you're considering a short rest.
Eggo Lass sees that although this room is fairly central in the dungeon and has many exits and entrances, it's still filled with the orc squad's cooking equipment, bed rolls, and most importantly; crates, which she works out can all be used to comfortably barricade all the doors for the hour you plan to take a Short Rest in, making it an ideal place to rest up for now.
Upon regaining consciousness, Graelor scans the room and is moved by the death and pain in the room. He mutters a quick prayer of thanks to Helm and crawls to a wall for support. He spends 10 minutes in concentration to cast a PRAYER OF HEALING. All 6 members of the party regain 16 hit points.
(I have a few spell slots to heal more of you. Please give me your hit point status after this)
[Hit points should be on everyone's sheets in the Campaign Log if people have updated them themselves which everyone did I'm pretty sure. Although, 16 hit points is probably enough to boost everyone to max tbh]
[[ In terms of hit points, I don't think Eggo Lass actually lost any. Don't see an attack that would've hit her, unless I'm missing something. ]]
Eggo Lass has a perplexed look on her face as Salamander jumps to hug her. "Uh... there there?" she lightly pats him on the back as if he was a little child. She has a little sigh of relief as he drops down.
She notes the crates. "While Graelor takes care of the praying, anyone want to help barricade the door?" As she puts crates up she looks to see if any might have supplies in them or if they're empty.
Once that is done she examines the orcs' cooking supplies. "No use letting it go to waste." She asks as a general question, "Anyone hungry?"
She takes out an eagle egg from her backpack and makes a cooking fire to start an egg dish. In between cooking she starts rolling up one of orcish bedrolls to put in her pack. "Always nice to have a soft thing to trance on."
[[ Inventory Changes Cook's Utensils: +1, new value 2 Bedroll: +1, new value 1 Giant Eagle Egg: -1, new value 11 ]]
Sly is completely out of breath after the combat, rubbing her sides. With horror, she realizes that some blood got onto her robe. With some applications of prestidigitation, this is solved easily enough.
She's glad to see that her allies have found themselves back to their feet. The human unleashes a wave of healing, taking away the pain in her side in an instant.
"Powerful spells." she says with approval.
For a few minutes, she helps with breaking a few of the crates and using the wood to barricade the doors.
She sends a rare smile Eggos way. "I do think something to dine on would suit me just now, thank you"
The tiefling then wanders over to the orc that had cast all these spells. Using her ethereal hand she searches the body for any useful items [inv 15 if needed].
Eggo Lass notices that in the Orc's old cooking pot, they had some kind of chilli pepper, bean and rice dish cooking. Although some got spilt in battle, it all seems to still be absolutely fine to eat, with enough for all of you, so could be eaten alongside the egg dish you're preparing or kept chilled for later with regular Prestidigitation casting. As Sly breaks the crates to bar the doors, she finds that they're mainly empty and may have been brought for storage rather than to transport goods.
Sly also examines the corpse of the Eye. He's wearing ring mail and has a shield strapped to his left arm, with a spear in his right hand. You also find a Component Pouch in one of his belt pockets, and notice that his left eye is still swivelling around in his skull. At first you're alarmed that he might be alive still, but on close investigation you come to realise it's a magical false eye, known as an Ersatz Eye
Oh yeah, and during all of this, Hugh is absentmindedly walking around the room in very direct and straight lines. Curiously, he seems to move to avoid obstacles that aren't there anymore like crates you've now moved to the doors, or ends up walking into things like the cooking set up as if it isn't there. It's clear his NPC Flu has gotten worse; it's like he's imprinted on the very first impression he got of this room and now, any adjustments made to the room and his surroundings aren't calculated in his brain when he finds a path to walk around the room in. It's a sad sight to watch, but you're all aware that the best way to deal with NPC Flu is to not interact with the poor victim whilst they're infected. If you do, you know full well he'll start spouting off nonsense about 'Find my 18 missing blueberries' or 'Yonder traveller, you must rest here', only making things worse.
Orc 2 fails the check and feels a shred of his soul being cast away into the nether realms with a sharp pang of pain in his chest.
