Day 1 - Waylaid on the road - Round 2
Alton quickly dismounts the horse, but it's not as easy as it might seem. He almost fall out of the sadle, and is barely able to stay on foot. He then proceeds to run into the bushes on the north side of the road, trying to find cover. Ride check total of 7, dismount takes a move action. Second move action used to move 20 ft. into the bushes, so no attack this round.
Seeing the newly arrived groups of orcs off of the road, the elven member of the party turns to the group of orcs south of the road. As he blasts the area with a massive burst of sound, the three orcs throw their hands to their ears, clawing as if trying to dig something out. In a matter of a few seconds they lie on the ground, hand clasped over their ears, their faces masks of terror. Soundburst did 8, 6 and 8 damage.
The other group of orcs, the one to the north of the road, fare no better as Balins web catches all of them in its sticky strands. They all try to wriggle free, but they are unable to move from where they are trapped. The three orcs are now entangled, however orc 4 and 5 successed on the reflex save, and is able to move, providing they manage the strength checks, wich they did not.
Surrounded by three ugly orcs, Hargrim swings his sword at the leader, taking its head right off. The second attack is not as successfull however, as the orc is able to avoid the axe. Rolled a 12 for a total of 16. Did 8 damage, killing the leader orc. Second attack, against the northern orc, flanking it with Alton in the bushes, rolled only a 3 for a total of 9.
The two remaing orcs around Hargrim continues to attack him, swinging their swords at the poor dwarf. They both misses though, one of them almost tripping in his own attepmt to remove the dwarven head from its shoulders. Both orcs missed their attack miserable, the silly fools.
As the orcs continue to attack the dwarf, Alton fires his crossbow at the orc closest to him, however the missile fly far away, into the trees on the opposite side of the road. Rolled a 4, for a total attack bonus of 8 (+3 BAB + 3 Dex + 2 flanking - 4 since you're not proficient with the repeating crossbow)

Zyrial
"Alton! Fire into the web. Take out the Orcs there." Zyrial cries as he runs up to the Dwarf's side. He will attack the Dwarf on Hargrim's right.

Balin smiled thinly as the web formed around the orcs, trapping them where they stood for the time being. While once he would have charged in with his staff hoping to finish them before the spell expired, Balin knew those days were far behind him and now the further away he could keep his foes the better.
Once again raising the wand up and speaking its arcane trigger, Balin sent a single arcane bolt streaking towards the largest of the three trapped orcs.

Day 1 - Waylaid on the road - Round 3
"Alton! Fire into the web. Take out the Orcs there." Zyrial yells and run up to one of the two remaining orcs attacking Hargrim, attacking it with his mace, making a bloody mess of the orcs face. Rolled 18 for a total of 22. Did 2 damage.
Smiling at the trapped orcs, Balin again waves his magic wand, and the missile shoots for one of the trapped orcs. In a flash of magical energies, the bow-wielding orc crumbles to the ground. Magic Missile did 4 damage, killing the orc.
The two orcs trapped in the web struggles and fights against the sticky strands, one of them actually is able to move a few feet towards the road. Orc 5 moved 5' towards the road. Orc 6 is still stuck.
Hargrim, doulbe-wielding his powerfull axes, continue to attack the two orcs; missing one of the attacks, but hitting with the second, felling the ord whose face is already a bloody pulp. Rolled a 2 and a 11 for a total of 7 and 16, one hit. Did 5 damage to the already damaged orc, killing it.
Sneering, the last remaining orc eyes Hargrim menacingly and swings its sword, striking true for the first time, scoring a nasty wound in the dwarfs shoulder. Critical hit, did 12 damage.
Still in the bushes, Alton reloads his crossbow, hitting the last un-entangled orc in the back of the head. The orc is dead before it hits the ground. Rolled a 12 for a total of 16. Did 3 + 12 damage, positively killing almost 4 times over

Zyrial will switch out a second level spell for cure moderate wounds (2d8+4) "Relax Hargrim. Let me tend to your wound. the others can deal with the last two." The singer of the Silver Song says.

Hargrim lets out a roar as the orc's sword bites into his shoulder. Adrenaline masks his pain as he continues to fend off his attacker. When Alton's crossbow bolt fells his assailant, he turns wildly, axes at the ready, to see Zyrial quietly approaching. At the elf's calming words, he relaxes a bit.
He winces at the pain now surging through his shoulder. "Thank you, friend," he says, his voice strained. He keeps his eyes on the remaining orcs, though, and grips the axe-handles tightly in his fists.
[sblock]Hargrim readies to attack any enemy that enters melee range. If one of the orcs enters melee range before Hargrim's turn, instead of readying, he'll attack with both axes.
Atk vs. orc, TWF: +5/+5, 1d6+3/1d6+2 dmg, 20/x3
Atk vs. orc, standard action: +7, 1d6+3 dmg, 20/x3[/sblock]
