Orcs(R4 1,2,3): They are coming out of stairwell at far east side of room with broken out windows. (Initiative 2) Eli, Blaire, Ikki clearly see this group of three; two female, one male.
Orcs(R4 4,5,6,7,8): They rounded the corner at the back of the house and made it to the fireplace before Rinn you see this gang of Orcs quickly rushing towards you. Your about fifty-five feet from them about twenty away from the house. (Initiative 6)
((OOC: @DM just wanted to get it clear in my head, there are now a total of 8x orcs, in two groups? One group coming down a stairwell? One group outside and coming from around the back of the house? Is that right? Are there any left by the windows fighting Wolfsong and Robwin or have those moved or died? Sorry just think I'm losing track of orcs lol! ;-) If you could post a map showing roughly where everything is that could help but no problem if you can't. For now, Robwin just needs to know if the two orcs he just fried with lightning are still there in the window near him. Thanks)).
3 Orcs in the stairwell; inside; far eastern side of 1st floor southeast room.
2 Orcs at south facing west window of 1st floor southeast room engaged with Wolfsong. Wolfsong is practically crouched in the window. One of the Orcs is looking seriously destroyed but still on its feet.
2 Orcs at south facing east window of 1st floor southeast room. Robwin just blasted lightning at. One of these Orcs was seriously damaged by Robwin's lightning breath attack.
5 Orcs outside about midway between the front and back of the house. Only Rinn sees this group.
As the two orcs in the window throw javelin's at him, Robwin dodges one, and the other one ricochets off of his mage armor, which flares bright orange for a split second. "Oh, no, no, no..." he tells the orcs, shaking his head like a disappointed teacher.
And then he roars at them again, spewing even more lightning their way ((dragon's breath is a concentration spell that lasts 1 min)).
Action: on his turn, Robwin will exhale another 15ft cone of lightning, into the faces of the two orcs in the right hand window. DC 13 dexterity saving throw or take 10lightning damage (or half on a successful save).
Movement: If either of the orcs in the window are still alive, he will stay where he is for now. Otherwise he will move to the other window where he knows there were orcs before.
As always, Lia the Owl remains 30ft above Robwin, taking the dodge action.
Rinn sees the other group of orcs running down the side of the house. "There's more coming this way!" He points at the group of incoming. He then mutters under his breath and gestures towards the group and casts a silent image on the ground in front of them (the edge of the hole about 10ft in front of them). The ground appears to fall away, leaving a 15ft square "hole" that they need to traverse around to get to him. He then uses his full movement to move back away from the orcs.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
3rd round action: Ikki heads for the window not blocked by Wolfsong and attacks an orc there, first thrusting his spear and then throwing out an elbow.
Within the confined space of the window frame Wolfsong twists his body to avoid the first orc's javelin, doing so puts him in line with the second orc's stab, but Wolfsong's feral rage dulls the pain of the attack. Wolfsong then strikes the wounded orc again with his claws, if the orc dies then Wolfsong will drop into the room with the other orc.
Ikki rushes forward with his spear narrowly missing his target (OrcR3:4 (-5hp)). He immediately follows up by crushing in the face of the other Orc (OrcR3:3) who crumples to the floor.
Ikki quickly flaps his wings raising himself out of the immediate window frame as Robwin unleashes another torrent of lightning. Which catches two of the Orcs coming into the room from the stairwell.
OrcR4:1 (-5hp), the large male from the stairwell begins screaming some unintelligible commands. The two females immediately turn and rush back up the stairs. The large male positions himself in the frame to the stairwell.
Rinn, you made your way away from the Orcs and the house as they began to circle the hole. When you hear an Orc shouting from inside the house. The Orcs outside stop. The Orcs exchange weapons quickly with each other. Three turn and rush back toward the back of the house. The other two come forward cautiously.
((OOC: @DM - On the way to the ranch, Robwin had been ritually casting comprehend languages every 40 minutes or so. It lasts an hour. Would it still be up now, or faded? Would Robwin have been able to understand what the orcs were saying at all, or get a good idea? Thanks))
((OOC: @Grwobert, If Robwin's last cast was at the entry to the ranch, yes, it would still be in effect.))
If Robwin'scomprehend languages is in effect, he would understand the Orc to bellow.

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Rinn sees the group of orcs at the side of the house split, with two still heading around the hole. He fires an arrow at the lead orc as he moves around the hole.
((Yes, Robwin would have probably last cast comprehend languages not long before approaching the ranch))
As soon as Robwin hears the orcs calling to each other about cubs, and about escaping to the woods, he would call out, to his party “WAIT!!...They have Cubs!!... Stay your blades!..Hold your fire!.. They flee!....”.
And then in desperation, as loud as he can to the orcs (in just the common tongue, since he doesn’t know orcish), “ORCS!!... can you understand me?... If you surrender we will not harm you!... ...We will let you leave. Do you hear me??!”....
Ikki spears the lead Orc at the stairwell following up with another unarmed strike on the Orc directly behind him, finishing him off.
That's when the Orc roars; the others move into action.
Robwin Shouts his declaration in common.
The large male in the stairs roars in Daraktan/Orc "RUN! RUN! run!" ... he seems to stagger forward raising a waraxe before completely collapsing.
If no one else pursues or attacks, ... the Orcs who ran upstairs will gather the cubs and an elder and run down the backstairs and out of doors. All the remaining Orcs will catch them up and they'll all run northwest and west along the base of the hills then cut southwest toward the forest treeline.
((Ikki with your keen sight you can easily see more Orcs coming through the stairs on the far east side of the room the four Orcs are fighting from.
With 35 ft movement, you could catch up Eli and Blaire, or
you could try bursting through the broken out window Wolfsong isn't hanging in, taking opportunity attacks from each Orc, or
you could attack the Orcs at either window; disadvantage against the ones engaged with Wolfsong, or
you could enter the house through a room above you (you fly) or
you could hold an action...
What do you imagine Ikki would do?
TT: That puts you right at the front door; no danger; easily done.
Ikki's Round 3 action ???
