One of the orcs in the center takes aim with his longbow and fires at Marnos who is still some 80' away. The shot is apparently lucky as it strikes the inquisitor in the shoulder for 2 hp dmg.
Green Orc longbow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
Dmg, Marnos: 1d8 ⇒ 2
Map is up and linked at top. Remember you are currently mounted, which will require some Ride checks if you stay mounted through combat. Controlling an untrained mount, which these are, in battle is a DC 20 Ride check. Crux and Tina are up for the heroes.

Orc Warband - Round 1 - continued
Crux drives his horse backward 30' and begins casting a spell that hopefully will magically put the enemies to sleep.
Heedless of the danger, Tina spurs her mount forward drinking her extract that makes her bombs much more effective and accurate.
The orc chief draws forth a long black-feathered arrow and strings his massive darkwood bow, firing a shot at the oncoming alchemist. The yard-long arrow strikes Tina penetrating her chain shirt and wounding her for 4 hp.
Purple Orc Warrior also steps forward getting a clear line of fire at Tina, then loosing a shot that flies wide of the mark.
Marnos can try his luck next, remember you need a Ride DC 20 to control the mount while in combat.

Orc Warband - Round 1 - continued
Marnos dismounts the riding horse and returns fire at the orcs, but he misjudges the distance and his first shot falls short of the mark.
Red Orc takes a bead on Tina who appears to be riding straight for him and fires but he doesn't lead the moving horse enough, and the arrow sails past harmlessly.
Blue Orc rushes forward to get a clear shot and turns to fire at the half-elven bowman rather than the onrushing alchemist. His counter-fire proves greatly effective as his lucky shot penetrates the rib cage of Marnos, damaging him seriously for 13 hp.
Red Orc longbow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
Blue Orc longbow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
Blue Orc, Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
Crit dmg, Marnos: 3d8 ⇒ (5, 6, 2) = 13
The mounted Travigan is up next for the heroes, then a bunch more orc arrows fly to end the round.
Travigan Frost |
Dang! I can't even hit the stinkin' ride DC!
Realizing his horse is going to be more trouble than it's worth, Travigan slips free from the saddle and drops to the ground. His blood pumping, he feels something rise up within him just a moment before unfamiliar draconic words spill from his lips.

Orc Warband - Round 1 - concluded
Knowing that riding is not his strong suit, Travigan slips from the saddle and makes ready to fight, just as unbidden arcane words slip from his mouth, creating an aura of warding around the surprised blacksmith.
Gold and White orc both fire at the mounted alchemist trying to drive her from the saddle. Tina is able to steer her mount around both the shots, one whizzing by her ear a little too close for comfort.
One of the orcs, which has a large hawk perched on its shoulder and carries a large staff instead of a bow, starts making the gyrations and intonations of a caster, invoking some orc god in response to the attack.

Green Orc fires again, this time aiming at Tina, who is the closest target. The arrows slams into the thigh of the tiny alchemist painfully, for 7 hp. The orc then drops his bow, and swings his axe into his hands, ready to close for melee.
Green Orc longbow, bless: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 3 + 1 = 21

Crux is up with his Sleep spell, and any other actions he has ready. Tina follows bomb in hand. I show Tina at 20/37hp after that hit.

DM DoctorEvil |
Orc Warband - Round 2 - continued
Crux finishes his sleep-inducing enchantment and grins a bit as a pair of the Orc Warriors all to the ground, dozing. Once the spell fires, the wizard drops from horseback, ready for more fighting.
Punctured with a couple of arrows from the orc longbows, Tina grits her teeth and with careful studied aim tosses a bomb at White Orc. The orc target absorbs the blast, charred but not killed. Tina, exposed in the field of fire, slips from her horse, and stands behind it for cover from the bows of the orcs.
The leader of the orc band draws forth another black-shafted arrow and fires at the horse behind which Tina stands, trying to remove her cover for the rest of his grunts. He barks some order in the harsh orc speech motioning at the small alchemist vehemently. The shot strikes the poor horse dead in the flank, and the beast bolts running for the rear as fast as it can.
Following orders, the Purple Orc throws down his bow and rushes at Tina, now without cover. He equips his double-bladed axe as he moves forward, and makes a tremendous chop at the poor girl. Only the barest sliver keeps Tina from a mortal wound but she escapes unscathed.
Though all 3 failed saves vs Sleep, the spell only affects 4 HD creatures and these Orc Warriors are 2HD each. Marnos up next.
Gold Orc DC 16 Will: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (5) - 1 = 4

Orc Warband - Round 2 - continued
Knowing another critical arrow strike might be his demise, Marnos takes a moment and calls on the healing power of Erastil to staunch his wounds and keep in the fight. Divine healing mends most of Marnos' hurts, leaving him revitalized for the rest of the fight.
Also eschewing his longbow for close in work, Red Orc draws his axe and moves to attack Tina, who still stands exposed and alone. This time the small heroine cannot avoid the falling axe, which splits her under the ribs for 11hp dmg. Another shot like that might have dire consequences for the brave alchemist.
Blue Orc fires an arrow back at the recently healed Marnos, trying to duplicate his lucky shot from before. This time, however, the shot is a bit rushed and flies wide over the head of the inqusitor.
Red Orc Axe, bless: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 1 = 23
Dmg, Tina: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Tina now shows at 9 hp remaining. Travigan is up before a flurry of orcs ends the round.
Travigan Frost |
Travigan growls loudly as he thunders across the field, coming up to a halt just as he comes adjacent to two of the mud-sucking orcs.
Run action; should now put me near enough to start doing something next round or to take some AoO's!

Orc Warband - Round 2 - concluded
Not necessarily fleet of foot, but certainly quite motivated, Travigan races at top speed across the grassy plains, before ending up in front of an orc soldier, breathless but ready for action.
Gold Orc continues his magically induced slumber.
Making some kind of casting motions, the orc shaman seems to be casting a spell, the casting continuing for its entire turn.
Eschewing his longbow now that a foe has arrived for melee, White Orc drops the weapon and hefts his double-axe as he steps around to face up to Travigan, swinging in a mighty arc meant to cleave the magically shielded blacksmith in one blow. Even without his strange magic shield, Travigan was able to ward this blow however, and he grunts in exertion as the fight begins.

Tina was torn, if she ran, the orcs would either chase her hot on her heels or turn on Travigan..She decided that she might as well, took a 5' step back and slammed a bomb right into the face of the orc before her.

Orc Warband - Round 3 - continued
Wounded from many arrows, and now without her horse, Tina stands tall against the onslaught of orcs. Stepping back just a bit, the bomb-throwing alchemist tosses another incendiary concoction, hitting Red Orc and splashing on Purple Orc who cannot avoid being harmed as well.
While Tina burns the orcs, Crux begins casting another sleep-inducing spell, trying to shorten the odds a bit further.
Even if he doesn't fully understand the meaning fo the words, the Orc leader sees Crux casting another spell, and targets the wizard with his mighty bow.
Scalded by the splashing alchemy bomb, Purple Orc circles Tina to the north and lashes out with his double axe. Tina is just able to avoid the slashing blade

Crux needs DC 20 Concentration check to keep from losing spell from the arrow strike. Marnos up next for the good guys.
Marnos Moonshadow |
Pausing for just a moment, Marnos pronounces Judgement upon the orcs and calls for justice. +1 on all attack rolls. Then he looses an arrow at the Orc Leader in an attempt to keep the Flak off Crux.
Comp. Longbow: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 6 + 1 = 16

DM DoctorEvil |
Orc Warband - Round 3 - continued
Despite getting hit solidly with an arrow from the chieftain's mighty bow, Crux is still able to keep his concentration and the long-casting spell keeps moving forward.
To the south, Marnos tries some counter-battery fire, sending an arrow back at the orc chieftain, in the hopes of slowing down his long-range sniping somewhat. The fire is effective enough to wing the orc leader, who looks around for the source of the scratch.
Red Orc continues to press Tina with his war-axe, slicing deeply through her armor, for 12hp. The tiny alchemist slumps to the ground, done in by the multiple hits.
Blue Orc drops his longbow and hustles in behind Travigan, swinging his war-axe from a flanking position. The blow crushes through the magical shield of Travigan, cutting him for

I show Tina at -3 and bleeding. Travigan shows at 6 hp remaining. Things are looking pretty rough...Travigan is up now before the orcs end the round.
Travigan Frost |
Travigan's at a healthy 20 hp unless I missed him taking some other shots earlier in the combat
Spinning on the orc that struck him, Travigan shoots the orc a fierce glare before growling angrily and bringing his hammer around in a whooshing arc. "Cut me in th' back, will ya?! I'LL SHOW YOU, YE MUDSUCKIN' -" whatever other expletives the furious blacksmith might have intended to share are lost in an angry roar.
Intimidating Glare: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (10) + 18 = 28 vs 10 + Target's HD + Target's Wis Mod; success = Target shaken for 1d4 rounds (+1 rd for every 5 over DC)

Looking back, I can't see any other damage to Travigan either, must have been hold over from last fight. Either way, I agree he is at 20/34 currently.
Orc Warband - Round 3 - concluded
Spun up into a furious battle rage, and now wounded to boot, Travigan stares down his opponent, glaring balefully at him. The orc is much less eager to fight now, and when Travigan brings his hammer round, it smashes into the side of Blue Orc, knocking the wind from him in a big whoosh.
Finishing his casting, the orc shaman sprinkles water on the orc leader, and suddenly the chief grows to large size. The shaman isn't done, reaching for the chief's war axe and blessing it divinely.
While Travigan is engrossed with Blue Orc, White Orc swings on him from a flanking position, hitting him despite his shield for 8 hp dmg
Stare duration: 1d4 ⇒ 1
White Orc axe, PA, bless, flanking: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 4 + 1 + 2 = 24

Crux gets off another Sleep spell now, and can still have a full round action. Tina is unconscious and needs a stabilize roll.
Crux |
Crux targets the red and purple orcs with the sleep spell.
What Crux does depends on if the orcs succumb to the Sleep spell.
If both fail Crux goes up to aid Tina. He feeds her a Potion of Cure Light Wounds 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5.
If only one fails, Crux targets the Blue Orc (the injured and shaken one) with the Wand of Magic Missile 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
If neither fails the save, Crux casts Mage Armor like he should have earlier, and moves back to Marnos.
DM DoctorEvil |
Orc Warband - Round 4 - continued
Crux fires off his second Sleep spell of the combat, dropping another pair of orc warriors that had been surrounding Tina. Rushing forward and drawing out his cure potion, Crux kneels beside the fallen alchemist, ready to administer her a curative dose.
Fallen and bleeding, Tina is oblivious as Crux saves her by dropping the orcs around her to sleep. Her body starts to recover from the wounds, stabilizing but still unconscious.
Enraged by the loss of his warriors to magic, the enlarged boss drops his fine bow and withdraws his recently enchanted axe, swinging at Travigan as he comes. The axe cuts through the magical warding Travigan wears, and into his flesh, dropping him to the ground, also unconscious.
Red Orc DC 16 Will: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (16) - 1 = 15

With Purple Orc asleep, Marnos is next as the party continues to drop.
DM DoctorEvil |
Orc Warband - Round 4 - concluded
Marnos changes targets as the large orc wipes out Travigan, focusing on one that has been hit before already. The shot from the disciple of Erastil is as true as ever, and strikes the orc in the neck, dropping him instantly, and evening the odds somewhat.
White Orc and the shaman both move forward looking for mop-up against the rest of the attackers. The shaman stops beside a sleeping orc, perhaps intending to rouse him next round, while White Orc heads after Marnos to stop his long-range missile volleys.
End of Round 4
Need stabilization roll from Travigan unless I missed it somewhere.

Since Green Orc is still sleeping, Crux is ip first. Assuming you deliver the potion to Tina as standard action this round? if so, she may act after you, and before the chief closes in on you both.
Crux |
Crux wants nothing more than to hastily withdraw from this battle. It is only that he does not want to leave Tina to the 'mercies' of the orcs that keeps him from doing so. Rather than leaving, he repositions himself and begins casting another Sleep spell. It has done well for him so far and he hopes it will continue to work.
DM DoctorEvil |
Crux, I want to be sure of your actions this round. First, you couldn't feed the CLW potion to Tina last round because the move action to draw it out and move to her used up all your opportunity. Therefore, she is still unconscious and bleeding. I would guess, since you have potion in hand, you want to give to her as your standard action this round, but perhaps I am mistaken. Please confirm your actions and we'll move forward. Tina, if he gives the potion, you will awaken and it'll be right on your initiative count again.
DM DoctorEvil |
Orc Warband - Round 5 - continued
Feeding the small curative potion to Tina, Crux then steps back as far as he can, feeling the looming presence of the enlarged orc boss.
The cure potion works wonders on Tina, who quickly leaps to her feet and heads away from the orcs, hoping to buy some more recovery time.
The goblin warband leader continues striding across the field, swinging his waraxe as he comes. This time, Crux is in the way of the big blows.
Orc Leader, enlarged, bless, magic weapon: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
Dmg, enlarged, magic weapon: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (4, 4) + 4 = 12
I show Crux at 1 hp left after that, but feel like I may have forgotten to reset him from before. Has he taken a hit in this fight yet? Marnos is up now for the good guys.
DM DoctorEvil |
Orc Warband - Round 5 - concluded
Marnos fires at White Orc, but it whizzes by his arrow harming no one but drawing the ire of the target in the process.
The orc shaman bends down, shaking one of the sleeping orcs awake. Then moving carefully through the battlefield to another.
Angered by the missed bowshot, White Orc turns to Marnos, rushing him with his waraxe raised for serious damage. The axe crashes into the bowman, splitting his shoulder for 8hp dmg.
