Mylene Durza After dropping her longbow in the bushes along the road, Mylene moves up and strikes at the orcs with her hand crossbow. Both bolts fell an orc, #1 and #4 going down.
Silcon calls on his blood rite magic and orc 4 rises to its feet and slashes at orc 7... The dead orc's greataxe bites deep into orc 7's side, leaving the other orc barely standing.
Naivara sends an arrow flashing into the rear-most orc, hitting and leaving an arrow sticking out of its shoulder.
Sylcan Naïlo Moves up to the spot north of redbrand 7 (forest is difficult terrain, so that ends your movement, plus those were all diagonals,which costs double movement for every-other square...) He then sends an arrow in to strike orc 12, the bolt driving into the orc's shoulder.
Kierro Moves up and sends a spray of fire into the orcs. 7... is taken out. 8... is taken out. 10... is injured and barely standing. 9... is injured and barely standing. 11... is injured and barely standing. 13... Dodged much of the blast.
redbrands The redcloaks move in, most going for one of the orcs, some moving into the forest to head around to reach the orcs. The following ones attack... RB7 ... takes out Orc10 rb4... takes out Orc13 rb5 ... takes out Orc11 rb6 ... strikes twice at Orc6 but the orc easily deflects the strikes with its greataxe. rb2 ... takes out Orc9
Vlune The massive bugbear, Vlune, moves in behind one of the redcloaks and, using his impressive reach, strikes twice at the orcs... (reach for him is 15 feet...) He misses orc 14 as the orcs hide armor deflects the glaive strike. Vlune's second strike though leaves a bloody rent in that hide armor.
orc The orcs start by ganging up on individuals, then any unneeded attacks will go to whomever else is close by... Orc16, Orc19, and Orc20 all attack redbrand 4 The first orc is able to leave a shallow cut down the redcloak's side, but he evades the other two blows, deflecting them with his shortsword. Orc17, Orc14, Orc18, and Orc15 all start out attacking redbrand5. The redcloak is hit hard, but she manages to deflect the second and third strikes, but the fourth was just too much and she goes down with a greataxe buried in her chest. The orcs howl in glee as the greataxe is ripped free. Orc6 attacks redbrand2. the redcloak is caught unaware and the axe buries in her side, but she is able to thrust it off and keep to her feet, barely.
Vilana Casts a spell to bolster her health.
Three darts of power then streak from near Vilana and strike one of the orcs. Orc6 is taken out.
higgul Continues smashing his way through the woods. He does a double move and gets up near the orcs this round, but cannot attack.
walter (bardic inspiration x 1) Strikes at Orc15 with his bow, the bolt striking the orc in the throat and taking it down.
Tessa Moves quietly around onto the road behind Walter, his concentration on the orcs keeping him from noticing. She slashes at his legs twice, hitting both times and leaving bloody gashes on each. "Ware the halfling!" Walter calls to everyone as he whirls to face Tessa, stumbling a bit on his injured legs, but still up.
Montru Moves past Kierro with a pat for his bottom, then slashes twice at orc17. Both strikes hit, the final one driving across the orc's throat and sending him down with his lifeblood spilling onto the road.
Latrius Moves in to strike at Tessa, calling to the others as he does so. His strike hits, dealing damage to Tessa. (Tessa takes 7 damage (need update on hunter's mark portion for true total) but is still up.)
Brun Steps forward and, with 3 well-placed slashes with his two longswords, takes down 2 more orcs.
Vlar Moves in to stab at another of the orcs, but howls in rage as the orc is able to dodge the strike.
Leto Sends a bolt of eldritch power at an orc. (assuming orc anyway, so update if you mean that you are attacking Vilana again...) He hits orc20 and takes it out.
Honor Moves up and tosses a dagger at orc19, it hits, doing damage, the dagger sticking into the orc's side. He tugs it out with a growl of pain, tossing it aside.

Mylene whirls, seeing conflict between Tessa, Walter and Latrius, as well as between Leto and Vilana, all to her west. She also counts two remaining Orcs to the east, one of of her Redbrands down.
OOC: If any of the above are incorrect, please advise, that's based on the map and the round summary.
She makes a quick tactical judgment, shouting orders as she moves, "Tessa's betrayed us, someone deal with her or I will. Redbrands, protect the fallen, I'm coming." She judges that dealing with the remaining two orcs and then sorting the rest, including stabilizing the fallen Redcloak, is the optimal plan.
Movement - She moves East 5 squares (my map shows it as S41) directly next to Orc 16 and Orc 19. She again fires twice, prioritizing Orc 19, the one Honor badly wounded with her dagger throw, targeting Orc 16 with the second shot if and only if her first shot drops Orc 19, otherwise she shoots at Orc 19 twice. All damage for hits is non-magical piercing. She does not incur disadvantage when firing while in melee due to the Crossbow Master feat.
(Damage dealt by a magical weapon using non-magical ammunition is magical. If the ammunition and the weapon are magical, it stacks. So +1 bow and normal arrow = +1 weapon. Normal bow and +1 arrow = +1 weapon. +1 bow and +1 arrow = +2 weapon.)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Kierro turns as he sees the redbrand fall and Walter being attacked. In one fluid motion, he reaches out to the unconscious redbrand, whispering a healing word for 9 healing, then extends two fingers toward Tessa, a readied nonlethal sacred flame prepared. He calls out: "Drop your weapons, Tessa. We don't want to hurt you unless you intend to do us harm; Walter and the others are on our side for now."
(Sacred flame will trigger if Tessa attempts to further harm Walter or any of the others.)
Seeing the Redbrands all conscious and stable, as well as all of the Erased, that leaves only the treachery to deal with. “If she surrenders we will bind her with manacles,” Mylene calls out. “If not then she’s truly mad, a rabid dog waiting to be put down. Surrender, Tessa, and you’ll live through this.”
OOC: As we are still in initiative I’m just posting dialogue for now, not sure whose turn it is so no actions accompanying, presently, as its likely not her action turn.
((we're still kind of in initiative, but here are my general actions)) Letosees the fight between Tessa and Walter as an intra-group conflict, to a group for which he doesn't yet really feel he belongs. As the orcs drop he starts walking towards their bodies. While he walks he unstraps and unceremoniously drops the magical bracers to the ground on whatever corpse is near him, and tries to find a orc with boots that might fit him. Once he does, he will take those, and toss the magical boots aside as well, leaving both to be claimed. ((what kind of armor are the orcs wearing? Leto could use some studded leather, and knows the redbrands wear it, but they are all alive, so he can't take from them.)) He then stays towards the outside of the group, watching the interactions, trying to learn who all these people are.
Turning to Mylene after felling the last orc, Sylcan tilts his head. "What's the point of that? Binding a rabid dog only makes it more ravenous - you either deal with the dog or leave it to it's own demise."

The redcloaks start stripping the orcs of their gear, content to let the others figure out what to do with Tessa.
Vlune frowns at having no one else to attack. He glances to Brun, growling as he sees the grizzled warrior regarding him. He moves to one side of the battle field and leans against a tree.
"Leto, Vilana, I'm not sure what happened between the two of you, but it seems less overt treachery than the halfling's actions against Walter," Mylene adds. "If there's business to be sorted as well there, we'll sort it. Redbrands, loot the Orcs and stay close, they could have been an advance force. And Sylcan, though I used a metaphor regarding an animal, Tessa is a sentient being, and I've generously given her this one opportunity to surrender. I have two sets of manacles. We also have a lot of blades, bolts, arrows and spells at our disposal between our alliance of memory-Erased and by Redbrand allies. Tessa would be wise to choose the manacles."
