"Well Kaemar, attack it is then, I guess!", says Merrick cheerfully. "Do you think I should go for the big one or a small one? The big guy is awful big, isn't he? Yeah, let's not attack him. Small guy it is then!"Merrick then unleashes a arrow at one of the orcs. The arrow flies straight and true, and Merrick continues, shaking his head. "Also, who kills horses? That's just stupid. And mean. Really? Horses?"
Merrick fires his short bow at Orc 1
Attack: 22 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll. Sneak: 2
Merrick's arrow strikes Orc1 in the neck sticking out the front. If he was going to call out that he saw Merrick and Kaemar that option is now closed with his trachea. There is a lot of blood coming out of the wound but not enough for him to lose consciousness.

Louis rushes forward NE about fifteen feet lining him up for a shot with his cross bow at Orc1. ( Attack: 15 Damage: 7 )
After taking the shot, Louis drops the cross bow in favor of his warhammer and moves due east another 15 feet (finishing at O9), and swings at the orog with his warhammer! ( Attack: 8 (in case if with adv for flanking 22 ) Damage: 10 )
// Louis used his war priest feature allowing a bonus action attack after a weapon attack. //
Louis' bolt strikes Orc1 in the forehead, putting and end to his misery seconds after it began with Merrick's arrow. He draws his hammer and swings down on the Orog. The Orog distracted by the decapitation of his comrade at the hands of the half orc can't turn in time to block the blow to his shoulder. (5 Damage)(This is an edge case but I'm going to say he was turning to face Neega and exposed his flank. Going forward we'll be clearer on Flanking rules based on the cheat sheet posted to the Discord.)
Meanwhile, a fire bolt comes screaming out of the trees slamming directly into Orc3 but his armor takes much of the force. (2 damage) He shrugs off the blow and looks for where it came from.
Lyn charges from the brush, throwing a glowing hand toward Orog. The massive orc's weapon grip begins to frost, causing a numbness to creep up his arm. Following the attack, Lynistra's scimitar flashes from her scabbard as she takes a place next to Louis.
(frostbite: CON save DC 13 or take 2 frost damage and next weapon attack has disadvantage. Protection Fighting Style means any attack against someone other than Lyn has disadvantage.)

// Making sure about the situation, I think One and Two are down, and the others (Orog, Three) have taken light damage.
Neega slides 10 feet to P11, facing NE. This will keep her in contact with the Orog, and adjacent to the last orc, allowing the others to get in a good position for attack. (Same is true for the bad guys, but hopefully our numbers will win out.) Tries to finish off Orc3. (If Orc3 is struck down, Neega will use the rest of her movement to turn to the NW to directly face the Orog, otherwise she will stay still.)

Louis' Warhammer hits the Orog in the flank and the knee. (Dmg 11) He staggers from the hits but readies his great axe. He attacks Louis and then turns and attacks Lyn.
Attack on Louis: 10 Damage: 12
Attack on Lyn: 27 Damage: 20
Both Louis and Lyn deflect the blows with no damage. (I forgot to do the disadvantage roll but luckily it didn't matter this time. I'll remember next time.)

"Great shot Merrick, but I need a better angle, see you in a bit." Kaemar breaks cover running to the south east (U10) getting a better position to attack the orog. She once more calls forth the fire within her and casting fire bolt.

Lynistra was thankful Orog's first attack went for another. After being deflected by Louis, Lyn could predict exactly where it would swing when it came for her. Tilting her shield, the axe slid up and over her head, giving her an opportunity to bring her curved blade up under the orc's arms and into his armor's gap (though that may not have been enough, not sure if 17 is a hit). "Come on you ugly bastard! Neega, you should be ashamed that you share common ancestry with this garbage."

Attack: 24 Damage: 11
Six really nice rolls this combat (3 hits, 3 damage rolls). Neega is partly motivated by her disliking orcs (and that part of her heritage), partly to impress the new adventurers she met.

Merrick, seeing the powerful great axe flying in circles, decides that a dead halfling will be of use to no one. He continues firing arrows from his little hands with the careful skill of the smallfolk.

Edit: Neega seems to be doing much better, when she doesn't have a fresh arm wound as a handicap. Merrick up, Louis on deck.

Neega would have had advantage on her attack. It hits no matter what but how about a roll for a Critical: 17 ...Ok, never mind.
The Orog is battered and bloodied from Lyn, Neega, and Merrick's hits. Clearly holding on with nothing but rage and will.
Louis is up.
