Rinn and TT you both also see the shadow of a large feline beast, the manticore, lounging at the top of the northwest edge of the eighty foot high canyon wall.
(( - TT - I did not mean to make a perception check instead of your turn. I realize my phrasing could be read that way. I apologize. What did TT do as she saw the smaller ones looting and the larger ones attacking after her bless was cast? ))
Eline you hear the whistles as do the rest of those in the canyon. There are twelve Orcs ranging in size from six to eight feet tall and width of medium to double that in width. You're aware you have two support archers, Tomi and another. You've seen this savage beside you and two dwarfs now along the wall more in front of you engage. The savage has downed or horribly wounded as many, no more, bare handed than you have with all your years of training. This is all taken in as you make your next move. What are you doing?
Robwin, You can see Rinn on the wall to your east, another shorter humanoid on the wall of the building some fifty or sixty feet from you opposite Rinn if a little closer to the battle. You can see Wolfsong and two other bipedals, Elven or Humen, engaged with six Orc/Daraktan. You can hear the dwarfs on the other side of the wall to your left (west) engaged. You also hear the shrill whistles. What do you do?
(( Rinn, TT, Eght Daraktan/Orc have fallen. Twelve are fully engaged with Wolfsong, the dwarfs and two others, a smaller fellow with a shortbow is on a wall on the north side of the settlement. He's not a bad shot. Clearly unsure and not as talented as Rinn. The Daraktan near the outer western gate are whistling and retreating. The smaller ones carrying bags and sacks, the larger ones behind them closer to the battle. Those who made it through the choke point now working their way back out while trying to keep eyes on the melee.

((Holy shit! 18 hit points left! Eline is hurt bad!))
((Using her second wind ability, as a bonus action, she gains 11 hit points back!))
Carefully noting the newcomers to the fight, Eline keeps her focus trained on the threats at hand. She inwardly smiles at the indirect competition taking place between herself and the savage creature nearby. She certainly noted his ire at her killing his intended prey.
Turning her focus back to the fracas at hand, Eline blocks one hit, and takes a heavy hit to her left shoulder, as well as another heavy blow to her right hip. She staggers under the brutal barrage, but manages to keep her feet, remaining upright. Eyeing the orc who caught her in the shoulder, she comes up with a powerful upward strike aimed at just under his jaw. "Tempus," she cries out a prayer to her God, "guide our strikes to death! Heeeyyyyyyaaaaaaahhhh!!"
Eline's strike is true and clean cleaving her opponents face open from the bottom up. The lifeless body is sent backwards with a loud thud onto the dusty blood packed ground.
If Robwin can see the wagon being raided and the new batch of orcs, and if he’s in range, he would like to cast web, as a 5ft deep layer all over the cart, it’s contents, anyone raiding it, as far across the entrance as he can, and as far back towards the new orcs too if he can (catching any in it if possible). Focusing mainly on the cart and raiders…
If he’s not aware of any of that, from his position, he’ll just fire another fire bolt at the nearest enemy. ((Rolls in spoiler below.))
If he can see the wagon, etc, but is just out of range, he’ll move so that he can cast web.
Robwin cannot see the wagon or the outer wall door without moving directly through the opening in the building ruins, into melee with the Daraktan fighting Wolfsong, Eline, Norman and the dwarfs or trying to scrambling to the top of the buildings walls. Maybe he would do that hearing the whistles? If so, male an Athletics or Acrobatics check. (DC 16)
Would he instead focus on the battle Wolfsong is in?
Would he send for Lia or ask other hastily for more guidance?
Maybe the whistles are enough to prompt him to risk death and dismemberment by running into the fray? (He could likely see the scene TT and Rinn have then. Roll Perception DC 10)
Tell us, what does Robwin do? (The power is yours; as long as the dice agree! Tee-Hehehe)
Robwin would stay and help his crew first. He’d shoot his fire into the melee at the nearest enemy, then call out “Whats all the ruckus outside?!…”. He would also ask Lia to fly up and get a feel for what’s going on beyond the walls.

Hearing the whistles, Norman, shouts, "Now What!?", while swinging again at his current guests. Tomi replies loudly, "I think they're running! The lot in the back!", before sending another arrow into the melee. (( N. To Hit 24 damage 9; T. To Hit 11 damage 4; ))
Lia flying up to the front with her keen sight, gives you a full view of the happenings, Robwin. The Daraktan at the mouth of the canyon and the ones now running are far too old or too young. The manticore lounging at the top northwest edge of the canyon cliff isn't just watching. It is eating. It must have caught one of those in the back of the small horde.
Rinn gives a whistle out as well, "I think we may have more than just the orcs to worry about friends." He points to the spot he saw the manticore shape, "Manticore up there by the looks of it."
Then quickly fires of an arrow at any orcs still in combat.
Wolfsong takes the strike from the first orc, his fury dulling the pain of the slash, only to then bat away the second aimed at him by the second orc. At Rinn's call Wolfsong turns his attention to where Rinn points, a murderous smile breaks out on his face as he gives a chuckle, "The Wilds have blessed us with a wonderous hunt this day!"
Wolfsong then turns his attention back to the orc he is fighting and returns the favor to the one who slashed him with two raking claw strikes aimed at the orc's chest.

Norbus Ironrune, calls out, "Right! BLOODY CLAIM JUMPERS!!! BLOODY FLYING BEASTS!!! And You're Excited!! I thought Grayshard was loosen it! No! I just lacked a basis of compassion!"
Grayshard Pickaxe twice into the fray (To Hit: 19 damage 4), (To Hit: 19 damage 11) and a hand axe swing (To Hit: 7 damage 7)

Hearing the whistles, Norman, shouts, "Now What!?", while swinging again at his current guests. Tomi replies loudly, "I think they're running! The lot in the back!", before sending another arrow into the melee. (( N. To Hit 24 damage 9; T. To Hit 11 damage 4; ))
This time Tomi drops the one Robwin burned while Norman cuts another down with a heavy slash across the cut and back across the neck.
Lia flying up to the front with her keen sight, gives you a full view of the happenings, Robwin. The Daraktan at the mouth of the canyon and the ones now running are far too old or too young. The manticore lounging at the top northwest edge of the canyon cliff isn't just watching. It is eating. It must have caught one of those in the back of the small horde.
What is happening with Rinn, Wolfsong, and TT?
Rinn gives a whistle out as well, "I think we may have more than just the orcs to worry about friends." He points to the spot he saw the manticore shape, "Manticore up there by the looks of it."
Then quickly fires of an arrow at any orcs still in combat.
Longbow Attack: 22 Damage: 5
Sneak Attack if applicable: 12
Wolfsong takes the strike from the first orc, his fury dulling the pain of the slash, only to then bat away the second aimed at him by the second orc. At Rinn's call Wolfsong turns his attention to where Rinn points, a murderous smile breaks out on his face as he gives a chuckle, "The Wilds have blessed us with a wonderous hunt this day!"
Wolfsong then turns his attention back to the orc he is fighting and returns the favor to the one who slashed him with two raking claw strikes aimed at the orc's chest.
Claw Attack 1: 15 Damage: 5
Claw Attack 2: 18 Damage: 7
With precision from Rinn and bloody brutality from Wolfsong two more combatants fall.
Norbus Ironrune, calls out, "Right! BLOODY CLAIM JUMPERS!!! BLOODY FLYING BEASTS!!! And You're Excited!! I thought Grayshard was loosen it! No! I just lacked a basis of compassion!"
Grayshard Pickaxe twice into the fray (To Hit: 19 damage 4), (To Hit: 19 damage 11) and a hand axe swing (To Hit: 7 damage 7)
