Slei will move to AF41.
Frum bypasses the unconscious orc for now, and attacks the one Giles wounded, sending it tumbling to the ground.
"Seven!"
"One of you elfs get the unconscious one!"
Grodar climbs over the barricade to AD-35 and lands a blow on the orc.

Zigil moves to AG39 and strikes the unconscious orc.
But just before he moves, a little voice reminds her that she could just 5' step to AF38
"I ... AM ... NOT ... AN .. ELF!!" . He frowns, wipes some of the orc blood off and says quietly "I'm much more beautiful."
The orc expires.
The lizard and its trainer move into position and attack Grodar.
The lizard's jaws clamp onto Grodar, and he can feel a burning in the wound as the reptile holds him fast.
Grodar fights off the effects of the lizard's poisonous bite.
Giles will carefully make his way next to Grodar and amongst the enemies at AE35.
"That's enough of that, smiley!"
He cleaves at the lizard and then the badly injured orc.
"Now that is a swing!"
Eldan casts Force Missile at the Orc at AE34.
The orc which Eldan damaged, as well as the other one with a weird sword, decide it is gang-up-on-Grodar time.
Because Grodar is being held fast by the lizard, both attacks hit him.
Giles moves in and unleashes a mighty attack, which fells one of the orcs and the lizard, freeing Grodar
Slei loads and fires her sling staff.
Frum closes with the closest orc and swings his greatsword.
"Grodar! Quit jumpin around! You distracted me!"
Grodar stands up, and lands a punch on the orc at AD-34.
Zigil will move through AC37 to AD36.
, Zigil will move to AC36
Zigil moves to AD36 and provokes an attack of opportunity
Zigil will attack orc AE36 ,
Giles and Zigil both wound their foes.
The lizard's trainer howls with fury and steps over to attack Giles with its orc double-axe.
The orc's first attack misses by a large margin, but she connects with the second axe-head.
A wave of clashing colours flashes at the trainer, but she is unaffected.
The other remaining orc swings at Grodar, but the guardsman nimbly dodges aside.
Giles attacks the injured orc further down the slope from him.
"Ugh those ribs hurt something fierce."
Giles strikes a mighty blow and the trainer staggers, but does not fall.
Frum steps into a hazardous position to try to finish off the trainer, and succeeds admirably.
He grins.
"Sorry bout the steal, Giles. Hah!"
"Rogue! Look at all the chance we gave you to sneak attack!"
Grodar lands a punch on the orcish shieldbreaker.
Frum shakes his head.
"See! No elf!"
Zigil will attack the remaining orc ,
The final orc is badly wounded, and barely on its feet.
Slei will fire her slingstaff at the remaining orc as well.
Eldan unleashes the extremely powerful force missile.
"Whooa...."
Eldan's missile strikes the orc down, and the sound of battle fades into the distance.
Giles rushes to see if Garm is still alive andbandages the worst of his wounds.
He retrieves and stows his blunderbuss.
"Suppose we ought to search them for treasure."
"I don't think we gave them a chance to loot, but yes, let's search them. Shall we heal before we do that, though? I can revive Garm if he has stabilized. It will only take a minute. We just need to move out of range of the dying orcs."
Zigil will repeat until everyone is full or within a few HP of full.
When searching the bodies:
Grodar also searches the bodies for loot.
"Well done everyone. Hopefully others have faired as well. I hope the cost of this incursion is not too great. Let me sweep the field to see if we have anything truly valuable."
Eldan casts detect magic and scans the area.
It would take quite a while to thoroughly search all of the orc bodies, let alone do anything like remove armour from them, and the party still has a mission to fulfill.
However, a quick scan using detect magic while the rest of the party does some selective searching (each type of combatant) reveals the following...
The drummer had well-made chainmail, a well-made battleaxe, a well-made light steel shield, 5 throwing axes, a thunderstone, his drums, a wand, a potion, and 8 scrolls.
The lizard trainer had a magic scabbard, 2 potions, 2 vials of acid, and an orc double-axe.
The bomber had 2 flasks of alchemist's fire, 2 smokesticks, a tanglefoot bag, and a composite shortbow .
The three orcs from the final wave each had a shotel, 3 pilums, a potion, a vial of antitoxin, 2 flasks of alchemist's fire, and 3 gp.
The standard orcs had nothing particularly interesting.
Zigil performs his healing, and Garm staggers back to his feet.
"Anyone know what these scrolls and potions do? Might come in handy." Grodar reloads his crossbow, picks up his warhammer, and lights another torch.
Zigil suggests gathering at least all magic, gold, antitoxins, smokesticks, alchemist's fire flasks, tanglefoot bags, acid vials, and anything easy to take that looks masterwork. If Grodar, Giles, or Frum can use the composite shortbow, take that too.
"Some of this will be immediately useful. We can identify the magic items later. And if we're lucky we can get back before someone else picks over the bodies. Slei, Giles, Eldan, do you want the throwables?"
"Perhaps we should use the banner one more time. It will still leave us one more use." If so, Zigil will make sure everyone is at full HP first.
I am nearly healed. Good enough I imagine.
