With the orc landing another solid blow on Kaemgen and out of healing ability to help the warrior himself, Auric chooses to call down holy fire on the creature rather than risk unleashing his Dragon's Wrath at the orc with so many of his friends directly behind it.

"Fuego...Get thee outside and high above the fray, relaying unto me the source of the ruckus without," thinks Auric in the heat of battle as the thudding from below finally breaks through his focus on the battle before him.

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
As the ultraviolence continues, the number of foes dwindles and dwindles. This is a good thing, the logical part of Kaemgen realizes. He's hurting. He's been down once already. He is close to going down again. But the logical part of Kaemgen isn't home right now and he just wants to hit things... He swings at Od with his Great Axe and knows he should take a moment to catch his second wind, but he has this War Hammer in his other hand that is just begging to crash into the Orc's skullpan....
Great Axe Attack: 7 Damage: 11
War Hammer Attack: 18 Damage: 12
"Shush out there!" Kaemgen hollers as he hefts his weapons about. "You'll get your turn!"
Od’s premature victory dance was abruptly cut short by none other than Kaemgen himself. Od underestimated his opponent and it only came back to bite him in the ass. Kaemgen’s axe slices him down hard and his hammer follows up to make sure he stays down.
Kaemgen calls out with rage laced in his tone and his voice booms through the house, successfully commanding silence. Everything fell eerily quiet. At least for now. Blood smeared and spattered halls littered with bodies remain. The tell a gruesome story that only the adventurer’s would be able to recount.

Kaemgen looks left. Then right. Up and down the hall... "Is that the last of them?" he asks, finally catching his breath, the rage falling from him like an unknown weight falling from his shoulders. (And Second Wind taken for 12 HP regained.)
"And so the cow is... really here? Is it their friends outside?"
Daisy was very real, and still there. She’d chuff and turn her nose up at Kaemgen when he’d suggest she’d have friends at the door. She’d clip clop over to Mr. Dark at the top of the stairs.
Fuego had taken a little time to get outside and find safe distance to observe the front door. Auric was picking up a sense of that Fuego had been keeping distance out of caution, but he was also getting a sense of familiarity out of the connection.
Pressing his ear to the door, Scott would pick up almost timid like scratching between some pauses. He could even swear he hears soft whining, as if pouting, from the other side.
Xenophon heads down to the door, maul at the ready. "I don't know what you're doing scratching about out there, but you're not gonna find any easy snacks in here!" He says, calling out to whatever is on the other side of the door.

Kaemgen, still calming down from the heat of battle, kicks and pokes at the orcs to ensure their dead and to start seeing if they have anything valuable or worthwhile on them. (Honestly, don’t think he’s heard the scratching yet.) He does pause yo look at Dark and Daisy for a moment. “They’re your responsibility. You can figure out how to get them downstairs,” he says with a smirk.
Auric’s vision adjusts, finding himself looking on the outside of the house. It doesn’t take long for the Dragonborn to make out what he was looking at. Two familiar furry fannies facing Fuego are found.
It was Castor and Pollux. It appears they’re doing their best to sit patiently at the door as per Kaemgen’s bellowed command. And the door spoke volumes of their efforts to get in. It was scratched and gouged. It wouldn’t take a genius to figure that they’ve been clawing and throwing themselves against it in their attempts to get in. They tried the door handle, but just couldn’t get a grip on it…
Mr.Dark peers around the corner from the stairs, seeing only dead bodies. Not really understanding Kaemgan's meaning, nor really in much of a mood to do anything other than sit down, he takes a nudge from the cow in the face and returns a bovine gaze blankly. "This has been a weird day for me," he says, apparently to the cow. Then he stumbles down the stairs to look for a chair to take a seat on. He begins peeling off his leather armor and takes out his waterskin to do the best he can to clean himself up and tend his wounds.

What's the difference between a Wizard and a Sorcerer? Class.
The moment Scott starts opening the door a pair of huffing snoots start shoving their way through, trying to force it open faster. Castor and Pollux frantically squeeze their way in, noses in the air, tails thumping and thudding against every surface in range. Sniff sniff. Huff huff. Snort. Sch! Noses inhale the air, dive into crooks and crannies of greeters and things, sifting through smells old and new. They finally lock on the scent they were tracking and practically tripping over each other, they tear up the stairs. There was no beauty or grace. It was more of a race. Skidding across the common room floor, Castor makes the corner, but Pollux, not quite. He smacks into the wall with a bit of a thud but recovers quickly without skipping a beat. In turn, they lunge for Kaemgen.

With Xeno standing nearby for extra muscle/protection Scott opens the door. (I had a feeling it was the return of the wolves).
Mr.Dark peers around the corner from the stairs, seeing only dead bodies.
