"Better be worth my while... and actually to my satisfaction this time..." Adabra mutters to herself as she separates the flesh from animal remains. Wide eyed Castor and Pollux exchange side glances before going back to watching her finish preparing this catch.
"Alright." Adabra starts as she rinses off her hands. "That's si-" Pollux pauses chomping. "Five..." She corrects at the realization. The brunette sighs and puts her hands on her hips. The wolf blargs, dropping what was barely left of the sixth critter at her feet. He nudges it closer with his snout apologetically. "At this rate..." She exhales, deflating a little bit, but her expression would reflect endearment to the wolf. She couldn't blame them entirely. They were expelling energy too.
"Okay." Adabra would accept Pollux's token of remorse. She'd whistle to call Castor over and kneel down in the grass with them. "It'll probably be more efficient if I finish the trap line by myself." She'd explain while giving them scritches under the chin and behind the ears to distract them from protesting. "So let's fix you up, and send you on your way." Both tails thump against the ground.
Groaning and whining of dramatic proportions echoed through the canopy. "Oh stop your fussing." Adabra would chastise. "You were all excited two seconds ago." She was met with more complaining from Pollux. "Well, I had to pick one and we all know you use your chompers more." Now a chuft. "It was Nova's idea." The healer was having to pin the wolf under her and to hold his head still in one arm while she brushed his teeth with a special paste. Eventually she'd get the job done.
"Next." Castor pinged to attention like a good boy, but he wasn't without a wary side glance to his brother. Although prepared for the worst, it never came. Adabra outfitted Castor with a handsome bandana, specially sewn for him. It smelled familiar. "I trust you know where to go." There was a secret pouch in which she tucked a note. The healer would then attach a special compact satchel after double checking its contents.
With that, Adabra would send them off. "Be swift and be safe."

Eager and prepared with weapon in hand, Kaemgen's mind wonders off as he stands there, daydreaming in the kitchen.
Kaemgen and Auric: Initiative time! (Just with the nature of Kaemgen's approach to his entrance I'd say you don't necessarily get surprise. Post#976'He doesn't kick down the door but rather tries to open it' But! With a good initiative like that, Auric is prepared and may be able to open up the fight anywho?)
[Insert Scooby Doo noise here]
The orc's blink a few times to register what just walked through their door.
Mr.Dark initiative for when he becomes aware of combat: 20. Until then he'd proceed to the stairs sneakily and glance down/up them from around the corner.

Mr.Dark looks back at the cow as it enters the farm house. "Nooo...what are you doing? You don't belong in buildings....no...stop...go back!" He says in a whispery shout voice. "Can cows even walk backwards?! No no no, don't try to turn around, you're going to knock everything over!!"
Then he hears the sound of Auric's commanding battle voice, and the crackle of fire. Or maybe more of a fizzling pop and some sparking of an attempt at fire. Either way...cow management would have to wait. He yanks the crossbow from it's side loop and kicks the door open. Seeing orcs, he aims for the nearest throats and faces.

‘Daisy’ stared blankly at Dark? Through Dark? Trying to herd her out. She’d back into him, turn one way, then the other, bumping into things as he asked. If she missed something, her tail wag did a great back up job. As she watched the man load his weapon, she’d lean forward pick up a shoe. And chew on it. The moment Mr. Dark took his eyes off ‘Daisy’ she’d side glance the stairs, then back at him. She’d reachy hoof the first stair.
Initiative D | A | O3 | O4 | O2 | K | O1
Auric casts flame into the kitchen, blanketing the Orcs in front of him with dependable dramatics. One of them managed to avoid the majority of the blast, but it appeared to be simply because he turned the right way to look. Though, as the flames fizzle, it appeared the Dragonborn only singed a few hairs on the group. They’d blink once, twice, then begin to guffaw at the shiny dragon, until two sickening shots pierce through the fourth orc, almost taking him out on the spot.

The third orc grumbles in his native tongue. Within arms reach of his greataxe he takes hold of it and charges the man closest.

(Don't you dare daisy! As a reaction, Mr.Dark would like to grasp his coin, and spin it in his fingers. A bright flash of light glints off the coin, flashing in the orc's eyes. Warding Flare: When you are attacked by a creature (that can be blinded) within 30 ft. that you can see, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the attack roll.

Kaemgen takes the hit with a grunt and locks eyes with the Orc who dared strike him… and begins to rage. Kaemgen’s wrath is apparently quieter than Auric’s as Kaemgen just swings his warhammer without saying a word…
WarHammer Attack: 21 Damage: 9
Kaemgen allows the momentum of the swing to carry him as much into the center of the orcs as he can, hoping to take their attention away from the others.
Mr.Dark quickly slams a bolt onto his handcrossbow. Then his rapier makes a metallic "shhhhhinggggg" as it is pulled from its sheath. He swings the blade deftly at the orc in front of him.
The blade jabs out at the Orc. Attack: 17 Damage: 7.
With his handcrossbow still in his other hand, he lifts it and fires point blank. (bonus action, no DA from crossbow expert) Attack: 23 Damage: 9
As he fights, he spares a glance back for the cow....hoping to not see its rear end waddling up the stairway, but knowing that hope is a cruel mistress.
