Slei will fire a sling bullet at the little drummer boy.
A half-dozen orcs come charging past the drummer. His wardrums have whipped them into a frenzy!
Zigil drops the longspear, and speaks a few words holding aloft her buckler painted with the holy symbol of Iomedae. An earth-shattering KABOOM rocks the centre group of orcs.
"Blessed be the Word of Iomedae." Ziggy will draw her longsword and move to AC44 if the air is breathable there.

The orcs in the area of Zigil's spell all reel and shake their heads. Their weapons drop from their hands.
Eldan moves up o AC40 and says, "Let's see how much you like fire," as he says a few arcane words and points at the Orc Skald, a think red lineaps from his finger and flys right at it.
The drummer snarls as Eldan's ray burns him. He then weaves his drumsticks in a complicated pattern as he rushes the top of the barricade. His mouth opens as if he were roaring a battle-cry.
Grodar will stay at the ready to untie the logs.
Giles scrambles over the barricade and behind the first orc in line (provoking)
He then fires his blunderbuss at the next 3 orcs in line.
Garm will presumable charge in and attack (unclear what triggers his guarding).
If so, he charges and bites the orc now in front of him.
The first orc swings wildly at Giles as the farmer maneuvers past it.
The strength granted by the frenzy it is in allows it to slice through the farmer's armour and slice a line across his back.
Giles' blunderbuss wounds a line of stunned orcs, and Garm charges in and sinks his teeth into the orc who hit his master.
Sergeant Frum maintains his post.
Slei will load her sling staff and move to AD45.
Garm sends his target tumbling to the ground, while Eldan takes minimal harm from the drummer's spell.
As Slei moves to a better angle, she can see the smoke is receding a bit.
Most of the drummer's guards are stunned, but one advances through the smoke to Giles, and gives the farmer another wound.
The prone orc swings at Garm, and the faithful hound yelps and falls to the ground.
[ooc]
Another wave of eight orcs streams through the portcullis and begins charging up the hill.
"NOW!!"
Frum chops through the rope on his end.
Grodar begins untying the ropes.
If I'm reading his sheet right, I think his AC should be 18. If so, I don't think the falchion should have hit him earlier.
Regardless, it doesn't change my action.
Zigil moves away from the prone orc (to AD44) to provoke an Attack of Opportunity, then continues moving to AB44. From there, spontaneously cast (not defensively) on Giles.
"Can someone hit the prone orc while I try to keep Giles standing?"
Grodar unties the last of the knots, and the logs carom down the hill into the massed orcs.
Amazingly, one of the orcs manages to leap over them as they crash towards him.
Of the orcs who are struck by the logs, only one stays on his feet.
The prone orc swings at Zigil as the priest does her fancy footwork, but it misses by a wide margin.

"Giles, you malingerer! You are healthier than you looked! If I had known, I would have taken care of Garm. The poor boy." "Never mind. Once we have slain our foes, I can channel a little healing."
Eldan points at the Skald again, and a red beam streaks towards him.
The drummer curses as Eldan's ray strikes him, and counters with another spell of his own.
Perhaps it was Zigil's taunts, but Giles briefly considers having a nap, then rejects the idea.
Giles drops his blunderbuss, draws his bastard sword and cleaves, starting with the orc in front of him and carrying into the orc next to it.
Never mind.

"I'll avenge you, foolish dog!"
Slei will drop her sling staff and draw and throw a dagger at the nearest orc.
Slei's dagger goes whizzing past Zigil, and catches the orc in front of him in the throat. The wound looks fatal, but the orc's frenzy keeps it on its feet.
"Grodar, fall back and take out that drummer!"
Frum steps over into the breach in the barricade and waits for the oncoming orcs.
Several of the orcs rise from where they were knocked prone.
Frum attacks one of the four orcs that close with him.
Orcs clamber over the upper barricade to threaten Giles and Eldan, and another enters the smoke to get at Giles but starts retching.
Grodar fires at the drummer, then moves to Y-40.
Zigil will attack the prone orc. "For Garm!"
As the orc which felled Garm tries to rise, both Giles and Zigil strike it back to the ground.
The central orc beside Giles has to pull out a dagger to replace the falchion he dropped, as do the other two which advanced on him and the one which closed with Eldan.
The orc Slei hit swings its falchion at Ziggy.
Because the cleric used his shield arm to put heft into her last swing, the orc connects!
Grodar's bolt grazes the drummer.
, ... or not. your choice ...
5' step behind Giles to give Slei a clear shot.
Eldan takes a 5' step back to AD41 and casts Force Missile on the Skald.

Eldan's missile slams into the drummer, but he still stands.
The drummer waggles his eyebrows at Eldan and spins around while waggling his bottom.

Eldan's sense of humour is not sophisticated enough to appreciate the witty repartee of the orc.
Giles will cleave again starting with -12 and then -8.
Dang It!
Slei will draw her rapier, move up beside the orc, and attack again.
If he gets an attack of opportunity,
Frum tries to stem the tide, using his greatsword as a whirling barrier while attacking one of the non-wounded orcs.
Another orc is badly wounded, yet held upright by its rage.
On his turn, Grodar 5-foot steps up to X-40, dropping his crossbow, and lashes out with two punches at the drummer.
