Zelra runs as fast as she can, making her way around and to the front of the barn. Seeing the half orc fall and hearing the nervous shout of their enemies seems to fill her with a little more confidence that maybe they could actually win this fight. She holds her shortbow in hand tightly, ready to fight. "We might actually have a chance, Otger. Just try not to die."She gives him a cheeky grin before continuing to run.
Movement: Full 30ft to get around the barn.
Action: Dash Action for extra 30ft if Movement is not enough to get around. If she does manage to get near the front or any enemies come within her line of sight, she'll try to stay behind cover.
Hearing Zelra's resolve and looking about at the party, Otger steadies himself. He looks up at the enemies above targetting the nearest to the edge and casts Sacred Flame. He then moves to one side of the building so he cannot be flanked from behind.
Action: Sacred Flame DEX save vs 14 DC for 1d8 radiant damage (enemies get no protection from cover. If Otger can only see a head, that's all he needs)
Ruik is pleased to see the frost on the half orcs arm as it falls dead. But he turns a shade paler when bolt strikes the ground at his feet. That was a bit close.
He turns his attention to the crossbowmen up above.
"It seems we are a bit more than you bargained for. Just ask your dead friend."
He says gesturing to the dead half orc as he casts Frostbite at one of the men up in the loft.
When the arrow piece the half-orc and his life was expended, the magic connecting them disappeared as well. He watched the man fall, a smoking burn mark upon his chest and an arrow sticking from him. He smiled briefly and then felt something hit his neck. Something sharp, something, annoying. He turned around and saw a man with a crossbow aimed at him. He shook and had yelled out, 'Who are these people!'
Uragum raised his hand and pointed at the man. He then brought his fingers together an snapped. As he did so magical frost form on his attacker. He then growled out in his deep, gravelly voice. "Don't worry about it, you'll forget my name once you're dead anyways." he calls out the man. He then moves forward to the under the loft.
Action: Spell Frostbite
Move: move under the loft for cover from the men in the loft, if able to, as close as he can to the ladder.
Attack: 17 Damage: 2
if it hits, attacker has disadvantage on the next attack
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
OOC: Botting Arnald for this round with movement to the entrance of the barn, a longbow attack at one of the men in the loft, then movement to get back behind cover.
Frostbite is not an attack roll, so applying the damage rolled for Uragum's frostbite to a CON save from a man in the loft.
Because Otger is underneath the loft, he will have to use his 30 feet of movement to get to a spot where he can see up into the loft.

Sylyra uses the momentum of his staff to turn aside the woman's scimitar, and quickly snaps it up into the bottom of her jaw. Before she knows what has hit her, she falls unconscious. Arnald nocks an arrow and fires as he reaches the entrance, but his bowstring is loose, and the arrow doesn't make it halfway to its target (OOC: Attacks with Arnald's bow will be at disadvantage until the bow is restrung with an action).
Ola sprints out of the barn, reaching the entranceway just in time to see Sylyra's strike on the woman there. Zelra quickly circles around the barn, nearing the center of the side of the structure.
A shout alerts one of the men in the loft to the sudden presence of radiant flame, and he dives away from Otger's cantrip. However, he does not get up again, suddenly coated in a heart-stopping frost from Ruik's own spell. Uragum does the same, though the frost he applies is not thick enough to be a concern yet.
The men in the loft fire another volley downward; a bolt grazes Ruik, and another whizzes by Otger's ear. Outside of the barn, the conscious human woman pops out of cover from the side of the structure, loosing a panicked bolt toward Ola that serves as more of a warning than any actual threat.
Round 4 Order: Players <===== Enemies
Placement: Arnald and one human woman are outside of the barn and out of sight, 15 feet away from the entrance on either side. Ola and Sylyra are in the barn entrance, out of sight from the inside. Otger and Ruik are in the center of the barn, 40 feet away from the entrance. Two humans are in the loft, 40 feet away from the entrance, and 10 feet above the ground. Uragum is underneath the loft, 55 feet away from the entrance. Zelra is outside of the side of the barn along its side, 50 feet away from the entrance.
Blood flows from a wound caused by the bolt that struck him. Ruik takes the pain in stride and again focuses his energy on one of the crossbowmen in the loft.
"Almost done. Might be time for you to run away!" He calls to them.
Sylyra follows Ola. If the second crossbow woman is still alive after Ola's attack ...
... Sylyra will attack with his glowing staff as well.
Action: shillelagh attack with quarterstaff: 19, damage: 11 bludgeoning damage
However, if Ola has dispatched the woman ...
... Sylyra will double back to the barn entrance. Seeing the two humans in the loft attacking his fellows below, he begins waving his free hand in an intricate maneuver. A shard of ice quickly forms in front of the elf. With a final flick of his wrist, the shard is propelled toward whichever of the two looks more injured or the left one if he doesn't see any difference.
Action: ice knife attack vs. most injured or the left one: 9, damage: 4 piercing damage. That one (and the other, if they are within five feet of the first) needs to roll DEX 14 or sustain 7 cold damage
If there on of the crossbowmen are near the ledge.
Uragum, watches the shadows move through the floors of the loft. He then positions himself right underneath one on the ledge. He crouches and then jumps up, his tall body and long arms helps he reach up the edge and he makes a play to grab one of them with the intention of pulling him down.
Athletics 9
Reaction: Use Stone's Endurance if an attack would knock him out.
If no one is near the ledge.
With no one near the ledge to grab and pull down. Uragum moves off to the side of loft, where the others aren't facing and shooting. Quietly as he can, he tries to jump up and grab the edge of loft to pull himself up. He will then take cover if he can.
Athletics: 6
Reaction: Use Stone's Endurance if an attack would knock him out
OOC: Botting Arnald and Otger for this round. Arnald will quickly restring his longbow. Otger will cast sacred flame on a man in the loft.
Uragum can make a grab for one of the men in the loft if he runs for at least 10 feet (to get a 6 foot high jump) so I'm assuming he's willing to move 10 feet back, then run 10 feet forward and leap.

With her shortsword prepared, Ola darts around the side of the barn, suddenly face to face with the woman that has been firing from cover. The woman frantically tries to use her crossbow to block the sword as it stabs forward, but seconds later, Sylyra arrives. His staff strikes the woman in the temple with a crack that the pair can almost feel, and she falls dead. Still in a dead sprint, Zelra passes Arnald tightening his bowstring, and reaches the entrance of the barn, only seeing the unconscious woman on the near side. She sees that there are only two men remaining in the loft, and uses the front wall of the barn for cover.
Inside, Ruik and Otger pepper the men in the loft with spells, frost slowing the joints of one while the other tries to fire a bolt through radiant flame descending upon him. Uragum leaps into the air and nearly yanks one down, but only comes down with the man's boot as he twists away from the goliath. The two enemies fire bolts into the ground and into Otger's shield, backing up further into the loft to avoid being pulled down.

"Enough of this!"Uragum yells. "Throw down your arms and surrender or you and that dry hay up there start will go up in flames." he then lights a torch and prepares to throw it unless they comply.
Either there was another ambush somewhere near by, or the men up on the loft were complete idiots. Ola could not see them but Uragum's and Ruik's voices were loud enough to hear. Ola looked around suspiciously, checking every shadow.

Sylyra steps to the entrance to the barn. "No need to burn down the barn. Keep fighting with ice!" He begins waving his free hand in an intricate maneuver. A shard of ice quickly forms in front of the elf. With a final flick of his wrist, the shard is propelled toward whichever foe in the loft looks more injured; otherwise, the one on the left.
Action: ice knife attack vs. the more injured of the two or the one on the left: 14, damage: 10 piercing damage. The target (and his friend, if he's within five feet of the target) needs to roll DEX 14 or sustains 9 cold damage
