Whoo! sorry for the short absence, Holidays are crazy in the restaurant industry. 

So in order, Cass' bonus shot pins the first orc to the cave wall. He struggles in futility before slumping down, feet barely scraping the floor. Anton steps up missing with his Q-staff but smashing the orc in the face with his feet. 

Geth watches (as he did last turn) his illusion strike the real ogre who is getting very obviously upset by this turn of events. The injured dire wolf proves to be a bit too agile, dodging the bolt from Geth's x-bow.  Just as Scar brings his massive sword down upon the Dire wolf in front of him a dagger sails by flipping end over end; The dagger plunges into the mortally wounded second Dire wolf, killing it instantly. 

Bho's arrow sinks into the chest of the Orc engaged with Anton. Its looks surprisingly at the fletching and drops to his knees, before falling face first into the cavern floor.

The last remaining orc, throws his javelin to the floor, turns and flees, shouting, "no kill, no kill." 

The dire wolf, recoiling from Scar's sword plants it's feet and lunges at the raging bugbear. Attack: 13 Damage: 13.

The ogre, gradually yelling louder and louder at the phantasmal image attacking. 7 though still convinced of it authenticity tries again to smash it with his club. The sound of it smashing against the stone floor sends a thunderous echo resounding through the halls. 

We are back to Cass. I will put up a new map too. 

(OOC: I know Cass moves first, but he's on the opposite side of the runner, so my move shouldn't impact him.)

"Well, at least he speaks common.  Be right back."

Anton, tired of runners, uses his superior mobility to track down and knock out the orc.  

Non-lethal attack: Attack: 10 Damage: 6, Blessing: 4

Front snap-kick (if needed): Attack: 24 Damage: 7, Blessing: 1

If Anton is able to knock-out the orc, he'll begin to tie him up and drag him back for questioning. 

Init/status/HP tracker:

As he watches his bolt misses the first wolf, only to have the beast killed by Obsben's dagger, Geth calls back, "I loosened him up for ya!" He once again directs the illusory ogre to attack the real one (6 dmg), and uses his real crossbow to attack the other equally real wolf, hoping for better results this time.

(Arianrhod continues to assist Bho)

Attack: 10 Damage: 8

OoC: Or not. This is why Geth should stick to shenanigans.

Staying close to the wall, Bhuraelea will move to K16 , wait for Ahrinrod to distract the wollf and then shoot an arrow at the wolf.

Attack: 15 Damage: 12 Sneakattack: 9

Cass will skirt around everyone to K17 taking cover behind the well and fired both his shots at the ogre.

Attack: 14 Damage: 14

Bonus Attack: 17 Damage: 19; Menacing Attack: 7 damage
Ogre Wis Save DC 13 is frightened of me on a failure until the end of my next turn

Action Surge:

Attack: 9 Damage: 18 Percision Attack:  3

OoC: I believe Scar is up, followed by Obs, then enemies.

Scar will growl and yell at the Direwolf that is somehow still standing before him. Taking his Greatsword and swinging it down to hopefully cut the head from the beast.

[OOC: Not sure if this is the same Direwolf as before, but will use his bonus action to Hunters Mark it.]

Reckless Greatsword Divine Fury Attack: Attack: 6 Damage: 15

Divine Fury: 7

Hunter's Mark: 1

Forgot Reckless Advantage attack: Attack: 18 Damage: 8

[ooc: dang it, ignore the Reckless damage part, shoudl have just rolled a d20...Need to pay more attention sigh.]

Anton dashes off after the fleeing orc, overtaking him as he is trying to amble across the rope bridge. The first attack misses but he is caught by the snap kick, which causes him to stumble 18 off the side of the rope bridge. His hands snaps out grabbing the anchor lines but he is now dangling over the chasm. What are you doing Anton?

Bho's arrow sprouts from the dire wolve's chest and as the wolf is struggling to stand up Scar's sword swiftly separates its head from the rest of its body. 

The real ogre yells in pain as the illusory ogre attacks him again, but Cass's arrows find their mark again and again, and the ogre crumples to the floor. He takes his last few ragged breaths, wet and wheezing as the arrows that pierced his lungs leech the last of his life. 

That is the end of combat here. Nice job! 

"I thought it was over for us for a while there..." Cass sighs as he starts searching the fallen creatures.

Investigation:5 (adv roll if someone gives Cass a hand 10)

Anton calls out to the group, "Back here."

To the orc he says, "Surrender and swear not to run and I'll help you."

If the orc appears to agree, Anton will secure a rope and will throw the orc the other end, helping haul him up to safety.  If he doesn't agree, well, gravity is a more than just a good idea, it's the law.

If Mr. Orc comes up and is docile, I'll bind his hands and feet.  Someone in the group should interrogate him.  If he makes any hostile move or attempts to run, Anton will end him.

(OOC: On the map, in the south of the room is a shade of red.  Do we know what that is?)

Bhuraelea starts searching the ogers and the orocs corpse, before looking through the cave for some usefull things. Makeing sure to always stay within few of at least one other group member.

12 perception

8 investigation

I'm not sure if anyone can hear Anton given how far away the bridge is, but eh!

While not the most perceptive of the bunch, Obsben still casts a worried glance the direction the elf. "That was a rather close one, I do dare say!" The lightling chuckled before it petered off at the sight of the pool(well?) off in the room. So, he hustles over to it for a closer look, clamor over dire wolf bodies as he goes along. "Now what's all this then, I do dare say!" At which point, he breaks out his walking staff and swirl any liquid about before bring it up closer to study.

Investigation with Guidance(?): (3)4 

Scar gives one more battle cry at the defeat of all the monsters, standing there glaring at the dead bodies chest heaving from the exertion. "That was a wonderful fight, I can't wait for more." He will clean his greatsword on the hide of the wolves before standing up ion the middle of the room to keep watch while the others investigate the area.

OoC: Nice use of the terrain bottleneck in that fight. It looked like it could have gotten rough, but it was majorly helpful that we didn't have to take attacks from more than a handful of them at a time 

(OOC: Yeah, that worked out pretty well.  I feel bad that Obs burned a second heal on me due to what I feel was a miscommunication.  I could have used hit dice to recover the rest, but I absolutely needed that first one.  Got my bell rung there a bit.  Nice work everyone.)

Geth points a finger in the direction where Anton ran off to chase the orc, and whispers, "How's it going over there?"

When Anton requests assistance with an interrogation, Geth cracks his knuckles and whispers again into Anton's head "Don't mind if I do."

Transforming into another orc, from this time with fancier armor and an air of authority, and imbuing himself with the guidance of his unseelie patron, the warlock strides toward the captive orc, and says, with a gruff voice,

"By Gruumsh, what have you gotten yourself into? Do you think these people _look_ like a bunch of goodie two-shoes paladins out to exterminate orcs? They're mercenaries; here to help usr. What were you thinking attacking them? Somebody's going to lose a head over this; with luck they have already. It's a mess back there! Now get up and fill our new friends in if you don't want to join the rest of those incompetents. I have other business to attend to."

He strides off, importantly.

Deception (w/ guidance): 24

OoC: Dangit. Screwed that up too, since friends would've been more useful than guidance in this case. Well... hopefully orcs have low insight? I guess worst that happens is he doesn't believe him and we have to resort to good old-fashioned intimidation.

It's fine, Beirp. Its better to be safe than sorry. Because there's never truly a guarantee of a short rest, and we are at that level where I actually feel at least a little comfortable one spell slot more than preferred on a single encounter. 1st two to three levels, though? Pfft! Ya better be downed and probably dying before me(as healer) considers bring a PC back up! :P

(OOC: Anton would have helped Geth with his bluff, playing along, etc.  Mayhap he had advantage on that deception roll?)

OoC: If advantage, 16 (includes previous guidance roll)
