Maff stayed back to allow better stealth-characters entered in stealth order to get max benefit of surprise round. With a surprise round he can't enter and spray.
Drawing his blade away from the falling orc, Kunala lifts the blade back into a high guard as the javelins fly. Realizing the angry orc screaming 'you pay' was coming for him, he shifted his feet into a better stance for dealing with a two-weapon attack. Reminding himself he's in a fight not a duel, he looks for an advantage retorting, "There's always a butcher bill."
Quickly moving forward he doesn't wait for the orc to attack. Slicing at it's shoulder, he quickly brings the blade around ready to parry and riposte'.

ok so It sounds like Maff is in the kitchen and I am behind Kunala right now on the map, and we have a full round now?

Seeing Kunala deftly slice his opponent, Érme shifts forward 5ft Step and attempts to skewer the orc at the edge of her speartip (Standard Action vs Blue);
Amelia pokes her head out the door and sees Kunala facing down one of the orcs. A quick prayer and a touch on his shoulder later, Kunala is enveloped in a soft golden glow.
"Maff Lets go, front and center we have orc's to slay!" Taddy says directing Maff to attack the orc that Kunala is attacking, touching the skunk with Acid Maw as he passes by.
With some guidance from Amelia, Kunala rips an orcs neck apart with a well placed strike, and he staggers to retaliate with a weak swing. Once again it is parried and he is dispatched with a well placed blow to the chest finishing him.
Erme draws blood with an arm gash to an orc. Maff's bite misses with his new jaws oozing acid. Drektan shouts encouragement.
The orcs shout excitedly.
Orcish OR Linguistics 20:
"That human is death itself. Warn the downside!"
Two orcs run out the open door, and you hear one orc outside the unopened door you are near. The other one heads out of the building towards the center of the compound.
DM screen:
2d20 ⇒ (17, 11) = 28
The orc Erme hit steps up to attack her and hits with an overhand attack. The fourth orc throws a javelin at Kunala and misses. Unfortunately Erme
takes a slash Erme damage:2d4 + 6 ⇒ (4, 2) + 6 = 12. The more experience inquisitor keeps her feet, but is severely wounded.
As the axe and sword armed orc falls, Kunala realizes the enemy are beginning to flee. Somewhere in the back of his head something is telling him he should go after the fleeing orcs before they warn others. But there is an armed orc in front of him. Leaving logic to the others, he jumps over the dying orc moving towards the green orc. Lifting the bloody pike-decorated blade he moves in close, chopping at the green orcs chest. Letting the momentum and the blades weight bring the blade around for a possible parry and riposte'.

Seeing Emre hurt, Amelia skirts around the back of the battleline and places her hands on her sister.
"Abadar lend her strength. Right the wrong and bring order to chaos. Heal the wound so your servant may fight on against the barbaric," she chants as golden light spills from her hands and into Emre.

Once again, the swordsman stabs an orc, the staggered orc tries a wild swing back, which is followed up with a fatal swing leaving him dead on the floor.
Antonio stagger an orc as Erme opens the door for him to tumble out.
Amelia heals the inquisitor.
Maff and Erme do not hit the orc just inside the door, but Taddy connects with a difficult shot.

Erme takes a massive hit of slashing damage slash:4d4 + 12 ⇒ (3, 3, 1, 1) + 12 = 20 and goes down in a pool of splashing arterial bood.
Antonio nimbly dodges the orc outside.
The orc scout seems to continue his flight south.
Seeing Érme go down launches Taddy into action, NOOOO!! Not another one!!!! he thinks to himself, casting stabilize on her to stop the bleeding, hoping her sister can do more as he mounts back up on Maff.
"Blast!" Cursing as he watches helplessly as the half orc Coin sister falls under the orcs weapon, Kunala uses the momentum of his swing to tumble over the table. Coming to his feet, he steps closer to the blue orc. Lifting the blade quickly as the skunk attacks, he slashes at the orcs exposed side.

Amelia screams as her sister is cut down. She doesn't even notice Tacitus' casting a spell over her sister. All she can see is the blood and the life fading from Emre's body as the blood flows.
"Nononononono!"
Her hands shake as she drops to her knees next to her sister and tries to recall the words to the prayer she knows. After a false start, she places her hand over the worst of the wounds Emre has taken and stammers out the words. Her hands glow golden as divine energy flows through her and into the bleeding inquisitor.

Antonio rolled into flank with Mr. Red and lunged to attack.

Seeing Erme down, the team acts quickly.
Kunala and Antonio get the orc in a deadly pincer. Kunala delivers a shot to the chest, but the orc is stagger and very injured when Antonio finishes him off in deadly fashion.
Taddy and Amelia both help Erme {-11 hp total and stable now} and return from the door of death.
The orc scout disappears into the shaft in the middle of the compound.
Kunala and Antonio get the orc in a deadly pincer. Kunala delivers a shot to the chest, but the orc is stagger and very injured when Antonio finishes him off in deadly fashion.
I'm Confused, Maff and Kunala attacked blue inside the building, Antonio was attacking red outside the building. Did Kunala kill Blue? Or did Maff kill blue and you had Kunala move the 30 ft outside and attack red? Only asking for the panache point. Either way he would be at two. If he killed blue he would have regained the one he spent on acrobatics. If he went around the table to the exit to attack blue, he wouldn't have used one.
As the last orc inside falls, Kunala tells Taddy, "Give Maff an extra treat for me would you" He gestures towards Erme, looking from Taddy to the half elf Coin sister, "Is she going to be ok?"
As he looks around the room, in hindsight he wished they'd removed the rope like he recommended, then no one would be climbing up or down. Bending over, he cleans his 'fiery' blade on the orc's clothes, before he sheaths it. Calling out to Antonio, "Did the other orc get to the building? If he did, we should get over there quickly and prevent them from climbing up."
Heal:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6I'm assuming that Amelia has no clue how Emre's doing.
"P-please, wake up! Don't leave me behind," she begs her sister before pouring more divine energy into healing Emre's wounds as she cradles her sister's bleeding body.
CLW:1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6That should put Emre at 2 HP.

Under her sister's ministrations Érme''s eyes flicker open and she gasps, instinctively reaching for where the orc falchion bit deep.
Focussing, she blinks through welling tears and her voice is uncharacteristically weak;
"S-sister..?...Is this blessed Aktun or the mortal coil?..Please tell me we both did not fall... Please tell me I did not fail you or the First Vault again..."
Hearing Antonio aggree, Kunala Pauses long enough to see that the half orc Coin sister was still alive. Pleased to see she was, in fact, still alive, Kunala, started moving towards the door "Glad you're still with us Ms Coin."
Not wanting to interrupt the sisters, he looks towards Taddy "We should get to the mine entrance."
Keeping blade in hand, Kunala quickly sprints to the mine entrance, not sure of what he will find.
Will take 10(15) on perception once he gets in building 14
Tears well up in Amelia's eyes as her expression crumples into one of relief, residual fear, and desperation. She sobs as she wraps Emre up in an embrace that for all its lack of strength is no less fierce.
"We're alive," she whispers, "By Abadar's will, we're alive!"

"Agreed," Taddy said to Kunala before pulling out a scroll of cure light wounds, and handing it to Amelia,"See if Abadar can will us a little more help for your brave sister, catch your breath and meet us at the mine." he said, trying to sound reassuring to the distraught half elf, but also honest with her,"I'm afraid there is still more blood to be spilled today." he said before mounting up on Maff and following Kunala.
You head to mineshaft after healing the divine warrior.
The rope descends into the dark below. Tugging on it seems to show it does not come up freely, the orc must still be climbing down. After a minute the rope does come up freely.

Antonio reached out and touched the rope, feeling the tension on the rope until it slackened.
"Well, he's down already." He said to the others.
He turned to look at his companions.
"Should we take the time to clear all the buildings up here before going down, or should we press the pursuit so they can't get set to ambush us?"
"I think we should," Amelia says. She stays close by Emre's side, not quite crowding her. "And I fear that I can't heal anyone else if they get hurt. I'm at my limit."
The rope descends into the dark below. Tugging on it seems to show it does not come up freely, the orc must still be climbing down. After a minute the rope does come up freely.
We were one or two rounds behind the orc, it saddens me that we lost that time to react to him climbing down. A lot of stuff could have happened in that minute between weight on the rope and no weight on the rope.
Nodding in agreement with Antonio, Kunala pulls the rope towards him and starts pulling it up. "Yeah, pity that. The only buildings left to check were the smaller ones to the northwest. Once we get this rope up we can check them at our leisure"
He looks at the others, "Unless there may be another exit from the mine?"
Looking towards the half orc Coin sister, he smiles. "I like that idea, maybe we could knock the building down into it, so no one can lower a rope again." He pauses, "Unless there is some reason we need to inspect an abandoned mine?"
"Why would a raider go into an abandoned mine unless the mine was not so abandoned after all," Amelia asks Kunala. "I think there are more raiders down there, and we'd be wise to stay vigilant. This may not have been the only way in or out."
"I doubt this is the only entrance to the mine.... it seems more like an air duct or place to lower supplies, best to pull the rope up at least to start," Taddy says, trying to think of where else an entrance could be based on what he knows about the area.
K(geography):1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
but he can't remember much about mines it seems.
"The Coin's are right. If we go down now we are walking into a trap. We could cut our losses and take the carts full of supplies in the stables and head back to camp with them." He suggests.
Having finished pulling up the rope as the half elf Coin sister and Taddy share their thoughts, Kunala, leaving the rope attached at the top in case they choose to use it, tosses the bulk of the rope into a corner. "I'm okay with taking the wagons and supplies back." He nods towards Antonio, "Let's check the last three buildings, then make a decision."
With the main entrance to the mine collapsed under rubble and dropping down the chimney a bad idea or back up plan, the group circles to finish the last three buildings up top.
Antonio finds the adjacent building is a tavern and six orcs are drinking and playing dice inside.
It appears the last fight didn’t alert them. He signals to the others from the door, which is closed but unlocked.
Drektan, unaccustomed to his new hobbit form, has wandered away.
As they move out of the 'Mine entrance' building, Kunala sheaths his blade and draws his bow. Following Antonio to the adjacent building, Kunala see's Antonio's signal, dropping down he slips the bow in it's scabbard and draws the pike-decorated blade. Keeping it low so the flames down shine through any windows ? he recomends. "Maybe we keep one a live to answer questions about the mine?"
Smiling at The half-elf Coin sister's question, "Of course we can." His smiles widens as he nods towards his friends pet skunk. "If nothing else we send Maff in and jump them when they rush out."
Seeing Antonio move towards the window, Kunala, trying to anticipate the swashbucklers plan, whispers, "We'll draw them to the doors you come at them from behind." Turning towards the others he nods towards the double-doors at the northern end of the tavern.
Pike-decorated, flaming-blade in hand, Kunala moves cautiously toward the doors. Looking at the others for a moment, making sure they were all ready, "We'll use the doors as a choke point. Once they come to us, Antonio can attack from the rear. Any questions?"
since were not in initiative yet, Kunala will take 10(13) on stealth moving towards the front doors
