a grin creeps across the hooded face of Rhokas he readies his crossbow, and nods, expectantly to his compatriots "Time clear out another dwelling, perhaps we need to call ourselves the Evictors"

You climb out of the cellar and enter through the nearest door, it opens to a foyer. There is a staircase leading to the second floor and an open door. "That's the kitchen" whispers Big Al, pointing his loaned crossbow towards the open door "the common room and bedrooms are upstairs."
You can hear orcs drinking and eating in the first floor. One of them turns, an ale jug in hand, and sees you.

The orcs in the kitchen are surprised, Lothlién goes first.
With a might roar, Xarrothshimmers with a light from his under his scales and a translucent orb forms on his chest. With each hand grabbing it, he breaks it in two forming two orbs that flash cold exuding mist and flakes of ice before being slung towards the two orcs he can see...
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Lothlién's icy shard hits the orc, the shards explode towards him and two other orcs (Dex saves: 19, 18, 16). The ice shards make it hard for Xarroth to focus on the orcs, and the glowing orbs fly through them without hitting anyone.
Big Al points the crossbow at the orc that was hit by the ice shard and shoots. Attack: 16 Damage: 2
His shot goes wide, maybe being tied in a basement for long has messed with his aim. Lia's bolt misses the orcs in the confusion of flying bolts and magic in the air.

Xarrothhuffs out a curling flame that snuggs into a puff od dark smoke, before generating the clear orb again in his claw, splitting it in two as it flares into flame and throws them towards the orc again!
The last orc in the kitchen falls with an arrow through his chest. More orcs come down the stairs into the foyer just in time to watch Lia shooting at their allies. The closest one swings a greataxe at the closest person, Lothlién. Attack: 8 Damage: 12
The other orcs roar in frustration at being unable to reach you, but throw javelins at the group. Attack: 23 Damage: 5 against Rhok. Attack: 14 Damage: 7 against Lia. Attack: 18 Damage: 4 against Big Al.
The javelin doesn't seem to affect Rhok as much. Big Al looks almost ready to collapse.

Rhokwill push with his free hand Big Al behind him to shield him from the danger "Get behind me!", while doing so will cast cure wounds so he won't perish
OOC: the cellar is not connected to the house from inside. It's used as storage and it's only entrance is the trapdoor you used to get in.
"About how many do we see/hear? Can we lure them into the barn, if it has only one door and lure them in and hit them with a crossfire?" Rhok offers?

“Let’s go up and in through the door near the cellar Lia suggests. “Hit them hard and make our way through...”
"I like the sound of it" Lothlién says in agreement with Lia, readying himself and following her
