Tyrus draws the attention of several orcs who were attacking the rear guard of the Waterdeep force.

The transformation of Thagakh and the blast of flame draws the focus off of the paladin allowing the rest of the team to get in position.  The Orcs from the other side of the bridge begin to stir.

 1,2, and 4 take full damage.

Can I get within 180 feet of a nice big 60 foot radius of orcs, without hitting any of our people or the soldiers?  I'm ok if I have to hit a chunk of the bridge, just not more than, say, a third of it.

The orcs are engaged with the Waterdeep force.  The only orcs that are not engaged in battle are the ones on the other side of the bridge.

Ok so I can't get to the ones across the bridge.  I'll send a Spiritual Weapon up toward Tyrus and Thag, and attack one of the orcs that took full damage:

Attack: 27 Damage: 12

With my movement, I'll lag a little bit behind Tyrus and Thag and keep an eye on the orcs across the bridge.

Conalt use of a spiritual weapon splits open one Orc causing other Orcs around him to be on unstable ground.  The attacks from your group encourage the Waterdeep deep force to continue fighting.

The Waterdeep commander attempts to lead a small group of riders away from the bridge to set up another charge. “Someone take down those ropes!”  He yells to troops on the ground.

The two war chief move to intercept the Waterdeep commander and his riders.

The two lower level orc mage both cast glowing red spears (spiritual weapons) at Tyrus as he approaches.

The lead Orc Mage shakes off the damage from his arrow and targets Thagakh with a Guiding bolt Attack: 16 Damage: 18

 As the dust of this round clears, only 4 of the original 10 regular Orcs remain plus all 5 elites.  Fifteen of the original 20 Waterdeep soldiers plus their commander still fight on.  Tyrus is slightly damaged going back to the top of the Initiative order.

Thagakhs bellows another fiery breath yet again at the same group of orcs. The wereboar then closes in at their charred enemies and sweeps at them with immense strength using his mastery of great weapons.

 Two Orc perish from the flames. Thagakh misses with his mastery of weapons.

Ian takes aim at the largest Orc Mage sending two arrows at him.  If any other Orcs are close enough, he uses horde breaker.

arrow 1 Attack: 17 Damage: 8

arrow 2 Attack: 24 Damage: 13

arrow 3 horde breaker

Attack: 11 Damage: 10

Ian sinks two more arrows into the Lead Mage.  He falls to the ground in great pain.  The third arrow sails over the head of the nearest Orc.

Arafiel casts Firebolt at the nearest Orc

Attack: 19 Damage: 7

Tyrus continues to charge right past the spiritual spears, not even noticing that one has grazed him. He targets the mages, bringing his shining weapon down.

Talon Attack: 11
Magical Slashing Damage: 11
Talon Attack: 28
Magical Slashing Damage: 7

Both Arafiel and Tyrus are accurate with their attacks. The damaged Orcs bloodied from the exchange.

Conalt sends the Spiritual Weapon hurtling toward the more beat up looking of the two orcs.

Attack: 21 Damage: 9

He then tries to find a spot with some cover where he can keep an eye on the orcs on the other side of the bridge.  How far away are they?

Conalt takes down one more Orc.

The Orcs at the other side of the bridge have been alerted to the battle but have remained on their side.  They have taken up a defensive position. The bridge is about 300 feet long.

Four Waterdeep soldiers are posted up on the ground next to the near side of the bridge.  They have cut down the ropes that were blocking access to the bridge.  Six mounted Waterdeep soldiers have rounded the camp and are being lead by the commander heading towards the bridge.  There are still five soldiers on the ground battling the remaining 3 smaller Orcs and the other larger Orcs (2 war chiefs, 2 lower mage, and the injured lead mage.)

After the exchange of Water deep and Orc troops, two more Waterdeep troops that are on the ground have perished and one regular orc.  As the charging Waterdeep troops approach the bridge an Orc war chief is knocked prone and damaged by a horse.

Both the lower level Orc mage cast their spiritual weapons at Tyrus.  OM1 Attack: 19 Damage: 4    OM2 Attack: 12 Damage: 9

The lead Orc Mage casts a cure wounds spell on himself at a higher level. 20

 Tyrus takes damage from the first attack but the second does no damage.
