[jmucchiello]

On her turn at the arrow slit, Escella sends two eldritch arrows at the bigger ogre (male) striking true against it.

(16 damage in two strikes.)

[Kobold Stew]

The whirring of Orb5 above Tommi makes him smile. In amongst the tree branches and their rich foliage, it appears to disappear. Tommi holds his breath, and watches the attackers march past him.

OOC: No new action for this turn -- is it sufficient for stealth to "let it ride" or do we re-roll each turn? In any case: no move; continue to hide; dodge if anyone sees him.

 

[KahlessNestor]

Angis Honack
Floshin Estates/Main Gate roof
Morning
Round 2

Angis took aim again, sending another of the oversized crossbow bolts at the male ogre again, ignoring the arrows falling around him. It hit the ogre, but didn’t seem to penetrate as far into its blubbery hide.

[MetaVoid]

Vairar joins the rest of the elves for the moment since the orcs are still approaching, but he is as effective as the rest of them. Barely a graze.

Spoiler: Actions

Longbow vs Ogre; damage: 1D20+5 = [8]+5 = 13
1D8+2 = [1]+2 = 3
- the ogre in question is hit by a ballista

 

[Neurotic]

TL;DR:
Orc auroch rider is shot for 17
Orc Archer 1 is hit for 9

The quick barrage of arrows continues and this time, one of the elf guards actually scored a telling hit.
Their sergeant continues with slower, but more powerful hits, grouping his two shots in the chest of the orc leader

"Guards, get those archers! And keep an eye out for any casters. You know what to do!"

Spoiler: Actions

Guards: miss, hit for max (9) damage, and miss

Attack vs orc leader; damage; deadly aim: 1D20+5+1D4 = [18]+5+[4] = 27
1D8+3 = [2]+3 = 5
1D10 = [4] = 4
sergeant hits for 9
Second attack vs orc leader; damage: 1D20+5+1D4 = [18]+5+[3] = 26
1D8+3 = [5]+3 = 8
and again for 8

 

[Prickly Pear]

Lionel has trouble reaching up to the arrow slit. You elves are too tall and don't build for small people, he muttered to the sergeant, as he placed a large log from beside the fire place under the arrow slit. That's better, he said when he stood up on the log. He took careful aim at the ogre and let the bolt go. He then stepped aside and let the sergeant have a shot while Lionel was reloading the crossbow.

Spoiler: Actions

I will roll for two attacks, one for round one and one for round two (if that's ok?).
Round 1
Bonus Action: Insightful Fighting — Wisdom (Insight) check: 1D20+7 = [4]+7 = 11

Spoiler: Insightful Fighting

At 3rd level, you gain the ability to decipher an opponent’s tactics and develop a counter to them. As a bonus action, you make a Wisdom (Insight) check against a creature you can see that isn’t incapacitated, contested by the target’s Charisma (Deception) check. If you succeed, you can use your Sneak Attack against that target even if you don't have advantage on the attack roll, but not if you have disadvantage on it.
This benefit lasts for 1 minute or until you successfully use this feature against a different target.

Action: Light crossbow attack and damage: 1D20+7 = [18]+7 = 25
1D8+4 = [4]+4 = 8 and Sneak attack: 3D6 = [6, 4, 3] = 13, if applicable.

Round 2
Bonus Action: Only if the first round failed. Insightful Fighting —Wisdom (Insight) check: 1D20+7 = [4]+7 = 11
Action: Light crossbow attack and damage: 1D20+7 = [2]+7 = 9
1D8+4 = [2]+4 = 6 and Sneak attack: 3D6 = [1, 3, 3] = 7, if applicable, but I think this is a miss.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

As the orcs charged forward, the defenders took turns firing arrows from the arrow-loops. The ogre took the brunt of the fire, and though the large brute looked like a pin-cushion, with arrows sticking out all over, he did not fall. The beast riders sank low in their saddles as they charged forward. The orcs covered a surprising stretch of ground in a short time, and some were able to throw a volley of javelins. As Dandin was retreating to his place near the north tower's fireplace, to let the elf guard take a turn, a javelin flew through the arrow-loop, struck the stone of the floor, and flipped over, striking him across the cheek with the flat side leaving a welt.

It was worse at the south tower: The elf guard was struck in the side by a javelin. Though her armour stopped the tip from going in, it nearly knocked the wind out of her. As she was leaning against the wall wheezing, Lionel tried to look out and a javelin struck him as well, knocking him back. A rain of arrows struck about the arrow-loop's opening, but none came inside.

On the roof, Angis was reloading his crossbow as arrows struck into his hay bale. He was glad for its protection, but his thoughts turned dark as he considered that it would only be a matter of time before one made its way over.

Out there, in a tree, Tommi stayed quiet and still, watching the orc archer move around the tree. The archer peered up into the branches searching for him. Suddenly the archer drew and fired two arrows in quick succession. But the movement it had spotted was ORB5, not Tommi, and the little orb was struck once as it tried to dodge. It made a squeaking noise that sounded to Tommi like a cry, but it seemed that it was still intact.

Just inside the door, Vairar could see through a nearby arrow-loop that some orcs had come up. They would be trying to break through soon enough.
