Thagakh's Initiative: 13

Tyrus Initiative: 2

Initiative order Thagakh, Ian, Arafeil, Tyrus, Conalt, Ras

What's the current distance between our group, the reinforcements, and the group of orcs?

Edit: Just realized it was posted at previous page, sorry.

Thagakh transforms into his wereboar form and performs the rite of the storm. The half-orc then valiantly runs towards the ensuing melee.

OOC: Aid is still in effect right?

Yes.... it has not been 8 hours.

Ian continues to move through the trees until he is within 300 feet of the Orcs.  “Stay near me and keep an eye out for any spell casting Orcs.”  He whispers to Arafiel.  Ian also keeps the giant weasel nearby.

Arafiel sticks with IAN   and judges distance to bridge

Tyrus sprints to join the action, preparing to channel divine energy through Talon once he gets closer.

Conalt tries to get within 120 feet of as large a grouping of orcs as possible. I would assume I can't do that without a dash action, so I'll do that and end my turn. 

The ground rumbles with the pounding of the charge of Waterdeep warhorses.  The speed of their approach caught several orcs off guard. One of the lancer troops drove his lance right through the chest of the Orc blocking his path.  Two more were knocked prone from the force of the horse.  Two more caught crossbow bolts from the next group of riders.  As they continued on down the bridge with their wild battle cries, they failed to notice the ropes stretched across the bridge.  The ropes caused five riders to be knocked off their horses.  The rest came to a sudden stop.  Your group can hear the commander shouts to pull back as the orcs attack the remaining riders still on horseback.  Glowing red spears launch from the staff of two different orc mages.  The two largest Orc swing their great axes at the legs the commander’s horse.  One large Orc mage casts a guiding bolt on the rear guard of the Waterdeep force.  As the first round of battle ends,  three dead orcs, four dead riders and seven maimed horses block the bridge.

"Well that didnt go as planned did it, Ian i think i have the mages positions marked

Ian looks for the main Orc magic caster and shoots him with two arrows and then uses horde breaker skill on the next closest Orc.

arrow 1 Attack: 13 Damage: 15

arrow 2 Attack: 14 Damage: 14

cb arrow 3 Attack: 16 Damage: 13

though out or practice Arafiel also fires his seldom used shortbow (aiming same place Ian did)

Attack: 17 Damage: 4

Ras:  Initiative(Prob to late)  7

Ras will use the cover of the attack, etc to try and get in closer:  Stealth: 16

Ian's first arrow sinks deep into the Orc Mage.  The second and third miss the mark.

Arafiel shows that he is out of practice.

Ras is able to move two times normal distance to get within 100 feet of the battle. (Ras has to top initiative score now.)

New Initiative order Ras, Thagakh, Ian, Arafeil, Tyrus, Conalt, Waterdeep troops, Orc troops.

OOC: How far is Tyrus after that first round?

Tyrus is 50 feet away now.

Tyrus's sprint becomes a more consistent run as he calls divine energy into the conduit of his body and into his sword. Held aloft, Talon begins to emit a brilliant light, and he shouts to announce his approach. "By Bahamut's divine light, I release your souls from this plane, foul orcs!"

Movement: 30 feet closer to melee.

Action: Channel Divinity: Sacred Weapon (+2 to attack rolls, sword emits bright light for 20 feet and dim light for 20 more)

"After what Thagakh can see with his eyes, Thagakh thinks its time to put out all the stops."

The wereboar fully consumes his Potion of Fire Breath and smashes the empty bottle to the ground as he menacingly stomps forward through the battlefield.

He then takes a deep breath through his snout as he exhales a fan of flames at the orcs in front of them.
