Big Al lets Rhok push him and looks relieved after receiving some healing.

Initiative order:
18 Lothlién
17 Xarroth
16 Big Al (+5)
15 Lia
10 Four new orcs
  6 Rhok (2)

Lothlién goes next.

OOC: Big Al had already received damage when you found him. I'm tracking hitpoints here relative to his starting health.

Lothlién repeats his previous strategy, throwing an lvl 2 Ice Knife where it can hit more Orcs

To hit: 6; damage: 9; every one 5ft around the target makes a DC 13 DEX save or takes 5

OOC: sorry for taking long to answer, this week has been crazy busy. Also: I scrwed up the dice rolls, so I deleted the post and I'm rolling again. Original values were 24, 3 and 6 (but I rolled 1d6 instead of 3d6); then 12 for this last one, I think, but then the "rolls may have been altered" alert appeared...

OOC:
It's OK - real life always comes first!

With a wave, Xarroth conjures three shimmering silver shards of light burn to a scarlet colour before streaking through the air; each aimed at an orc!

Scorching Ray
Ray #1 - Ranged Spell Attack: 25 Damage: 16 (fire)
Ray #2 - Ranged Spell Attack: 20 Damage: 7 (fire)
Ray #3 - Ranged Spell Attack: 23 Damage: 7 (fire)

Metamagic - Empowered Spell
On Ray #1, I'll replace the two 1's with the following new rolls:
3 1 = 14

Lothlén's blast catch one of the orcs in the middle of the stairs, splashing others next to him (dex saves: 12, 9, 15)

Two orcs fall from the piercing cold. Fire comes after, taking out the frontmost survivor and badly injuring the last orc.

Big Al shouts "take that you filthy monsters!" trying to get the last one with his crossbow.
Attack: 19 Damage: 7

The bolt goes over the orc's head, hitting the wall behind him.

Initiative order:
18 Lothlién
17 Xarroth
16 Big Al (+5)
15 Lia
10 One orc (10)
  6 Rhok (2)

Lia goes next.

Lia sens her own crossbow bolt in after Big Al’s...  To hit: 10  Damage: 5

Lia's bolt finds the last orc on the staircase, it drops dead with a quiet whimper. You head more sounds coming from the second floor and a voice barking orders, but no one is coming downstairs yet.

Initiative order:
18 Lothlién
17 Xarroth
16 Big Al (+5)
15 Lia
10 unseen orcs
  6 Rhok (2)

Rhok goes next.

Rhok silently looks at the group, then motions to the stairs, and holds a moment for any Orcs to come down. If none do, He'll slowly head up them ready to fire

No orcs come down the stairs. Rhok walks up carefully and enters a 35 by 25 foot room that must have been used as a game room. Scattered on the floor are Three-Dragon Ante playing cards and wooden Dragonchess pieces. Padded chairs and tables are toppled over, making an improvised barricade where orcs hide. As soon as they see a stranger coming up they lunge javelins at him.

Attack: 20 Damage: 7
Attack: 24 Damage: 5
Attack: 22 Damage: 8
Attack: 12 Damage: 7

Three javelins pierce the ranger. The orcs shout in their language, as if celebrating the hits.

Initiative order:
18 Lothlién
17 Xarroth
16 Big Al (+5)
15 Lia
10 unseen orcs
  6 Rhok (13)

OOC: Rhok still gets to attack, then it's Lothlién's turn.

Rhok will let out an animalistic growl and loose a bolt at the orcs and dive to a side allowing the rest a clear line of fire at them

Crossbow attack:  Attack: 22 Damage: 4 

Rhok's bolt hits the improvised barricade, the orcs reply with a laugh.

Initiative order:
18 Lothlién
17 Xarroth
16 Big Al (+5)
15 Lia
10 unseen orcs
  6 Rhok (13)

And we're back to Xarroth.

OOC: You skipped me! lol

Lothlién climbs up the stairs and shoots an Ice Knife (lvl 2) once again

Attack: 18; Damage: 8; shards: 9

I'll spend 1 sorcery point on Empowered Spell, to reroll that 1: 6

New total for the shards: 14. Hell yeah!

Let's see how they fare against the exploding shards first: 17, 12, 4, 16.

The icy knife flies true, hitting the orc in the middle of the barricade. Two orcs take most of the explosive force, and are looking heavily damaged.

Initiative order:
18 Lothlién
17 Xarroth
16 Big Al (+5)
15 Lia
10 Four barricated orcs (8) (14) (14)
  6 Rhok (13)

OOC: sorry about skipping Lothlién. Xarroth goes next for real now.

Xarroth whispers an incantation, drawing a circle in the air. At each of the compass points of the invisible symbol, four beads light hang in the air and grow in potency before dancing through the air honing in on each their orc targets!

Magic Missile 2nd Level
Dart #1: 5 
Dart #2: 4 
Dart #3: 5 
Dart #4: 5 

One dart per orc!

 The magic missiles zoom through the room and hit the four hiding orcs. Two of them fell to the magical attack, the other two growl in response to the damage.

Big Al sounds frustraded after not being able to hit any of the invaders yet. He runs upstairs, points the crossbow and shoots "you will not survive this!"
Attack: 12 Damage: 7

Initiative order:
18 Lothlién
17 Xarroth
16 Big Al (+5)
15 Lia
10 Two barricated orcs (10) (5)
  6 Rhok (13)

Lia joins Big Al in sending a crossbow bolt at the remaining orcs...

To hit: 24

Damage: 10

Lia's bolt finds an orc, finishing him. The last orc throws a javelin back at her.

Attack: 23 Damage: 7

Initiative order:
18 Lothlién
17 Xarroth
16 Big Al (+5)
15 Lia (7)
10 Last orc (5)
  6 Rhok (13)

Rhok will rush the barricade, and begin to leap and fire in an attempt to get a better shot at the last Orc

Crossbow:  Attack: 23 Damage: 4 

Colossus Slayer extra damage:   5 

Rhok's bolt nails the last orc to the ground, finishing the battle. The room you are in is a complete mess, orcs ransacked the place looking for valuables and turned most of the furniture into their improvised barricade.

OOC: combat is over, we are out of initiative order.

Rhok will use another cure wounds on himself after being turned into a pin cushion with the javelins

cure wounds:  6
