Emi laces her fingers together and cracks her knuckles...then stands in front of the gate.
"Stay to either side of me, but don't get in front of me," she tells the others guarding the gate, quietly enough that the orcs won't benefit from the suggestion.
She just waits then, hands in front of her and words of power ready to chant.
(Delaying action until orcs close in. Basically, when/if a single orc is getting close, she'll use Burning Hands when it's 10' away (and therefore just within range) to interrupt it's attack. If more than one orc is coming in a group, she'll try to wait until they're all in the cone before letting loose. 3d4 damage, ref save DC 16 for half.)
