The orc archer on the high ground fires at the dodging Farnakees - 12 or 17 plus 1 = 15. The arrow hits the goliath's chain mail armor but is stopped by the interlocking links of metal; the arrow point doesn't even cut his skin.

The orc Lathalas speared drops his bow to the ground, pulls out a short sword, and moves to engage the elf in melee - 17 plus 5 =22.
The sword stabs elf-flesh, dealing 2 plus 3 = 5 damage.
The orc then moves so his companion can also attack the elf, little realizing that Mithrokk's hungry axe can strike at him.
OOC - The orc moves from J11 to I11 to H11; this won't draw an attack of opportunity from the elf, but it will against Mithrokk. Mithrokk can roll an attack of opportunity against this orc, but it will benefit from the cover provided by the rock.
The magical missiles slams into the orc archer, slicing through its hide armor like it was made or paper. The archer is wounded, but still alive; he notices the wizard who struck at him.

Mithrokk lifts his greataxe over his head, and, in a two-handed chop, brings dwarven steel down with all his fury.

Mithrokk's Turn:
MIthrokk will cast Cure Wounds on Lathalas
Mithrokk bends down towards his fallen friend to provide a healing touch. "Friend Lathalas! Doth thy lie so low? Thy wounds are like dumb mouths that ope their ruby lips; these I now heal by the power of the Soul Forger."

Alianna nods to the other wizard and moves to I3.Channeling her rage at the viscious attack on the elf, Alianna shouts in Elven, “Mystical Flight, Stealth and Pain, I call on you to come together.Find thy mark!”
“Magic Missile!” she yells, and directs them at the orc archer on the high ground.
1 +1=2
2 +1=5
4 +1=5
She then says under her breath, "Die, orc!"
OOC to DM: If first two missiles are enough to kill the orc on high ground, could the third be applied to the orc Mithrokk injured?

The rock cover throws off Mithrokk's aim, allowing the orc to escape the furious swing.

Lathalas hears the dwarf's voice calling him from the darkness; he opens his eyes, his wounds partially healed.
OOC - Lathalas is back to 7 hit points, but is prone. He can act when his turn comes.
Meanwhile ...
Alianna nods to the other wizard and moves to I3.Channeling her rage at the viscious attack on the elf, Alianna shouts in Elven, “Mystical Flight, Stealth and Pain, I call on you to come together.Find thy mark!”
“Magic Missile!” she yells, and directs them at the orc archer on the high ground.
She then says under her breath, "Die, orc!"
The second barrage of magical missiles rips apart the orc archer, blasting it off the rock formation.
OOC - Based on the spell description, I don't think Alianna can change targets since the missiles hit simultaneously.
Spitting blood from his mouth, Lathalas bows his head to Mithrokk, "I thank you and the SoulForge for His kindness and would repay the orcs for theirs."
Lathalas draws his shortsword (free action), gets up from the ground (movement action), then attacks the heavily-armored orc.
Shortsword: Attack: 21 Damage: 9.
If the attack hits, he'll do sneak attack damage of 3.
He also kicks the orc with the shortsword (with his bonus unarmed attack.)

Thinking him dead, the orcs are surprised when the elf get backs up again. His short sword guts the orc with the greataxe who struck him down earlier, the orc barely able to stay on its feet. His kick at the orc he wounded earlier with his spear misses, however.
Farnakees comes up beside the elf and strikes down the one with the greataxe.

The heavily armored orc, wielding a greataxe, moves into the space vacated by its companion and swings away at the elf - 20 plus 5 = 25.
OOC - And hits a home run ... things are starting to look bad for the party ...
The greataxe cuts deep into Lathalas, dealing 3 plus 10 plus 3 = 16 damage.
Stabbed and sliced, the elf goes down fighting.
Here's what the new map looks like now -
Here's a close up of the fight so far -
OOC - Rastaris is next, followed by Mithrokk.
Rastaris sees the elven monk fall from the brutal attack of the heavily armored orc.
He thinks "We will soon be overwhelmed. Unless the momentum is shifted."
He looks at the orc who has been shooting arrows at them on high.
Rastaris stands up and moves to J4.
Rastaris casts Magic Missile at the orc archer.
"Forgotten wounds and remembered pains, Feel their sting, my missiles arcane."
Missile 1: 1 + 1 = 2
Missile 2: 1 + 1 = 2
Missile 3: 1 + 1 = 4
"Alianna, we must turn the tide. Focus on the threat from high. Let us hope Mithrokk will be able to save Lathalas."
The magical missiles slams into the orc archer, slicing through its hide armor like it was made or paper. The archer is wounded, but still alive; he notices the wizard who struck at him.
Mithrokk lifts his greataxe over his head, and, in a two-handed chop, brings dwarven steel down with all his fury.

<Speak Luck and die orc-foe!>
Opportunity Attack: 5 + 5 = 10
Damage: 4 + 3 = 7
Mithrokk's Turn:
MIthrokk will cast Cure Wounds on Lathalas
Mithrokk bends down towards his fallen friend to provide a healing touch. "Friend Lathalas! Doth thy lie so low? Thy wounds are like dumb mouths that ope their ruby lips; these I now heal by the power of the Soul Forger."
Healing: 5 + 2 = 7
Alianna nods to the other wizard and moves to I3. Channeling her rage at the viscious attack on the elf, Alianna shouts in Elven, “Mystical Flight, Stealth and Pain, I call on you to come together. Find thy mark!”
“Magic Missile!” she yells, and directs them at the orc archer on the high ground.

Kick: Attack: 10 Damage: 7
Farnakees moves to H10 and attacks the Orc on I-11 if he(?) is still up. Otherwise he attacks the Orc on H-11.
Attack: 13 + 5 = 18
Damage: 8 + 3 = 21
OOC: Oops: Damage total = 11.
OOC: I11 is the orc with the great axe. H11 is the orc with the shortsword.

Farnakees comes up beside the elf and strikes down the one with the greataxe.
Two orcs are down, but the three that remain still have some fight in them.
OOC - A new round begins ...
Surrounded by three foes, the orc with the short sword decides to sell itself dearly, trying to stabby-stab the elf dead again - 20 plus 5 = 25.
OOC - Whoohoo, another crit ... I'm making up for those lousy rolls with my rats earlier ...
OOC - I'll roll for damage, but I'll see first if Farnakees does his Protection bs on the elf ... real elves don't need no protection ...
OCC: Dang! Not again!
OOC - Crit magnet, baby ...
The orc by the campfire barks a command to its right, then hurls a javelin at Alianna - 10 plus 1 = 2.
The javelin flies wide, missing Alianna, then Rastaris, then probably cleared the mountain altogether, maybe a hitting a vulture on its way down ...
OOC - I guess I was going to pay for all those crits at some point ...
