Tanakir takes another swing at Dwa (using his hasted action), then...
Attack: 14 Damage: 19
With his sword still in the ogre's body, Tanakir growls into his face, "Submit, or die," and uses his dreadful aspect on Dwa (DC 14 Wis save or be frightened of Tanakir for 1 minute, if he moves more than 30 ft away he may attempt the save again)
Aradurk fires another shot into the ogre's chest, moving his next shot wide at the last second to avoid hitting Tanakir, whose sword slices through the flesh of the ogre's thick leg. The still-defiant second face of the ogre suddenly matches the other face's fear.
"We're outmatched," the first grumbles. "He's too strong!" the other replies, and the ogre cautiously begins backing away, out of the windowed room (Action: Disengage)
Round 5 Order: Aradurk and Tanakir <===== Dwa Trollblood
Tracking: Dwa Trollblood's wounds are healing, but not keeping up. Tanakir has the effects of the haste spell for 42 seconds. Tanakir's Strength score is 25 for 59 minutes and 42 seconds.
Tanakir misses his first heavy swing, slowing in his tracks just long enough for the fleeing ogre to get out of the way. It is not so fortunate with the follow up; the paladin's greatsword sears through its back, leaving a vicious wound as the others continue trying to heal. Both of Aradurk's arrows whiz past.
Continuing to disengage from the pursuit, the ogre stumbles into the crystal staircase. "Attack them, you idiots! Where have you been?" he growls, and six orcs move out from the staircase with their greataxes drawn.
Round 6 Order: Aradurk and Tanakir <===== Enemies
Tracking: Dwa Trollblood is badly wounded, but his wounds are slowly healing. Six orcs have arrived on the scene. Tanakir has the effects of the haste spell for 36 seconds. Tanakir's Strength score is 25 for 59 minutes and 36 seconds.

"You will go nowhere!"
Tanakir reaches out with an open palm, firing off a guiding bolt towards Dwa. If that's not enough to take him down, he'll pull out a javelin and send it after the ogre.
Guiding Bolt: 9 Damage: 16
Javelin: 12 Damage: 10
(Since the bolt hit, the javelin attack is made with advantage, if it's needed)
A light streaks from Tanakir's palm across the room, tearing a hole through both of the ogre's heads. "You-" is all it manages to mutter before falling.
OOC: Confirming before I advance, with Tanakir's second action and Aradurk's action, do you want to turn those attacks to the six orcs?
(Since Dwa is down, Tanakir will use a BA to move his hex to the nearest orc and use his greatsword instead of a javelin. It also would not be at advantage, so it's a 15 to hit)

Upon landing Ricky will take in her surroundings trying to ascertain where the front door is from their position. Have they landed on a pile of orcs? Did the orcs bring any horses etc?

9/15
Greataxe vs. Tanakir: 6 Greataxe vs. Tanakir: 8 Greataxe vs. Tanakir: 6 Greataxe vs. Tanakir: 13 Javelin vs. Aradurk: 17
Aradurk looses two more arrows; one sails past the fallen Dwa, and the other strikes an orc in its chest, non-fatal. Tanakir steps up to the group of orcs and cleaves one in half like a knife through butter, his muscles still rippling with the strength of a giant. The remaining orcs swarm the genasi. He ducks and dives through the incoming axes with his magical speed, managing to avoid all but one strike, taking 6 slashing damage. Unable to find room in the melee, the remaining orc throws a javelin across the room at Aradurk, striking the wall as the half-orc manages to duck the incoming missile.
The situation continues to thicken inside the tower. Three more orcs emerge from a hallway on the left, dragging a creature that looks like a mind flayer with a serpent's tail. More orcs can be seen retreating from the hallway on the right, being chased by the large humanoid with a permanent grin. The only direction free of orcs is behind the pair, to the large window.
Rycider examines her surroundings. It has been half a minute since she landed safely with the others, and there is no sign of Aradurk or Tanakir. Fumbles hovers nervously above the tower. No orcs are visible from the landing spot; a quick peek around the base of the tower shows that around half of the army has either catapulted to their deaths or climbed into the tower's sixth floor window. The surrounding area is craggy and rocky for a perimeter of around 1000 feet, where the land immediately shifts to hilly, forested land.
Round 7 Order: Aradurk and Tanakir <===== Enemies
Tracking: Five orcs are in the central staircase of the seventh floor. Three more orcs have arrived on the scene. Tanakir is engaged in melee combat with four orcs. Tanakir has the effects of the haste spell for 30 seconds. Tanakir's Strength score is 25 for 59 minutes and 30 seconds.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
OOC: Aradurk can only draw one of his handaxes this turn if he also uses the attack action without the Dual Wielder feat, so the offhand attack does not happen.
Greataxe vs. Aradurk: 17 Greataxe vs. Aradurk: 23 Greataxe vs. Tanakir: 10 Greataxe vs. Tanakir: 14 Javelin vs. Tanakir: 8 Javelin vs. Tanakir: 7
Aradurk joins Tanakir in the melee, attempting to trip an orc as he chops at it with his handaxe, but the orc is prepared, and deflects the attack wide, pushing the half-orc back, taking away any leverage. Tanakir backs off, moving to the window to make their exit.
The genasi's departure draws two of the orcs at the staircase away, and the others emerging from the hallway follow at his taunt. The two orcs that remain pummel Aradurk, dealing 4 and 15 slashing damage, tearing their axes through the half-orc's armor. He stumbles, quickly losing blood, and falls unconscious. Tanakir continues to evade the incoming javelins and axes with his enhanced speed, twisting and turning away from danger.
"Where is Aradurk? You need to get out of there!" Fumbles shouts at Tanakir from midair above the window.
Round 8 Order: Aradurk and Tanakir <===== Enemies
Tracking: Five orcs are in the window room of the seventh floor with Tanakir. Two orcs are at the central staircase in the central room. Tanakir is engaged in melee combat with two orcs. Tanakir has the effects of the haste spell for 24 seconds. Tanakir's Strength score is 25 for 59 minutes and 24 seconds. Aradurk is unconscious and dying.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
As Aradurk falls, Tanakir reaches a hand out and rays of light reach out to heal Aradurk for 1
Then Tanakir runs over, grabbing the half orc and dragging him to his feet and out of range of the orcs while using his hasted action to disengage. If they can make it to the window, Tanakir will leap out with Aradurk in tow, otherwise he will hold his action to move with Aradurk and jump out the window as he does.
“It’s about time!” As Wes sees his companions fall out of the window he will cast feather fall half way down their descent to slow them safely to the ground. “What took you so long, you look in rough shape. Get yourselves in a pissing contest did ya?”

"We go once the job is done. The window will do fine."
Tanakir swiftly steps towards the ogre, bringing his greatsword around as he does so, "There is no escape for you. Only surrender, or death."
Green-flame blade: 13 Damage: 23
Normal slash: Attack: 16 Damage: 18
If the second attack hits, the brand on Tanakir's forehead and his sword both glow with a reddish light as he smites the ogre for 3

Aradurk, seeing the swelling tide of orcs, lies down his bow beside his long sword and draws his hand axes.
He moves into line with Tanakir attacking the next orc and if it hits, engaging a Trip Attack.

"Let us make our exit. Their idiot of a champion is dead."
Tanakir backs off from the orcs, disengaging with his hasted action and holding his normal action to jump out the window as soon as Aradurk does.
OOC: Aradurk can only draw one of his handaxes this turn if he also uses the attack action without the Dual Wielder feat, so the offhand attack does not happen.

Walking back over with Tanakir's help, I grab my gear from the floor and head out the window.
"Thank you... that was a kick in the pants.", Aradurk says cheerfully and lightheadedly to Tanakir.
