The griffon lands and calls out to the paladin.
"I hope your whole group is not a bunch of frail looking elves. At least he can grow a decent beard."

Malik and the others gather behind the wagon and watch the orcs approach. You have a little over 2 minutes before they are in bow shot.

Delrin attempts to appear like he wasn't just having his life flash before his eyes as he calmly dismounts the griffon, leaving behind the grapple and rope with a full intention of utilizing them again soon. He looks at the pair in his immediate vicinity and, judging from the griffon's reaction and the dwarf's appearance, gets a fairly good idea as to whom this loud dwarf sitting in a griffon nest must be.
"I will take that as a hello. Alexandria, I'm glad to see you're unharmed. And you, sir, are one of the griffon riders, I take it? I don't suppose you know how many people can ride this at once, do you? If all three of us could ride, we could use our longbows to thin out the incoming force without fear of reprisal. If you need to convince the griffons, I'm sure they'd be happy to eat our foes after we're done with them. They look like they could use a solid meal."

Khalad looks at the half elf,"I am the Master of Griffons and Hammer of Moradin. My griffons will do anything I ask of them." He looks over the edge motioning with his hands."You have a half dozen adventurers I've never heard of. I'll not be risking the last of the mi children on a losing bet like that. There are 100 orcs still left in the monastery. Your friends are dead." Alex and Delrin see in his eyes that Khalad wants to help, but he sees it as a losing cause. As you speak in the nest the orc scouts close in.

Init - Izzy: 7, Fargrim: 17. Fargrim throws up a Bless on Mal, Olly, and Izzy as soon as the oncoming orcs are within about 100 feet.

Init: Oloric 11, Malik 20
Malik will wait for bless and then cast shield of faith as bonus action by. He will move 40' and lob a javelin. He wants to stay far enough that they can't get to him with their charge.
Oloric has 120' range with firebolt so would lob one at the closest one when they hit that range (probably the round before haste based on init order?)
Attack: 18, damage 3, extra attack:21 damage 4.
Malik's attack with disadvantage is 18 and 22 so 18 and 10 damage.

Init: 14.
Delrin pulls his bow from his back and begins taking aim as he states "Well then, since you've never heard of us, how about an audition? Perhaps, once you see our work, you'll be more confident in our chances of success. After all, we defended Brindol from around one hundred goblins-" he fires off his arrows at the orc riders as he speaks without breaking pace "-although those were split into multiple groups, but they also had several ogres. We also had a bout against a wight and its band of multi-armed giant undead followers plus some zombies and ghouls, followed by a battle against a demon and its horde, and we managed that fairly well also. At this point, conquering insurmountable odds has become somewhat typical."
OOC: By the way, does the elevated sniper position grant advantage on shots? I'm at extreme range, so it'd be nice to offset the disadvantage. I listed the results for both possibilities below.
Attack: 26 and 20 if he's at disadvantage. 6 damage, so one dead orc. Either way has one extra success, so that's 13 or 11 with disadvantage, for 12 damage if it hits, and another dead orc. If no disadvantage, there's a third attack that's a 28 (Critical Hit!) for 18 damage, so that would be a thoroughly dead orc. So, that's either one dead orc or three, depending on the sniping situation.

Malik 20, Fargrim 17,wolves 16, Delrin 14, Orcs 12, Oloric 11, Izzy 7,
Malik waits for Fargrim's blessing and throws his javelin spearing a rushing wolf. The javelin pierces through the beast and it streams a trail of blood behind it as it continues forward.
The wolves cover an amazing amount of ground (exceptional athletics roll). They are 25 feet from the wagon at the end of the round. The smell both horse and griffon and are mad with hunger. They rush at Malik each biting and snapping at him and Conn. None are able to damage them and Conn puts a hoof to the skull of one.
From the nest 500ft above the orcs look like ants to Khalad. Delrin fires a flurry of arrows dropping 2 of the ants/orcs below much to Khalad's surprise.
The Orcs cringe under the rain of arrows but continue forward. They hurdle crude javelins back at the Wagon and Malik. All of them land in the wagon except for one that bounces off Malik's armor.
Oloric finishes the wolf Malik stuck and burns the one Conn struck killing it.
Izzy? Alex?

Izzy pops around the edge of the cliff and lets an arrow fly at one of the two remaining wolves.
[Sneak attack total, with Bless: 16; damage: 6. Yes, that's a six, on three d6s plus 2. Urf. Hey, what's the climb DC on the walls of the canyon?]

The lower levels are DC5 pretty easy. If you get above 50 feet it increases to Dc10. At 100 feet it is pretty shear for DC15. Alex looks down at the carnage below and waves a hand,"They are a far deadlier group than you imagine. Do you want to cower in this nest or revenge your people?" "A Hammer never cowers," Khalad's face flushes red."They do seem to have some skills in ork killin." He looks to the Griffon. "Girl do you want to go save your brother? Okay let's go hunt some orcs." Khalad mounts the griffon and extends his arm to Alex."Are yea comin gurlie?" The second giffon nudges Delrin. Malik 20, Fargrim 17,Alex 17, wolves 16, Delrin 14, Orcs 12, Oloric 11, Izzy 7  |

..after Izzy...
Malik tears into a wolf with the greataxe but over compensates trying for a second swing which fails horribly.
Attack: 28 damage: 10, extraordinary attack: nat 1

"Always pickin' off your leftovers, skinny..." Fargrim mutters as he fires his crossbow the wolf that Izzy tagged, sending a bolt through its skull.
[Attack roll total: 20, damage: 6]

Malik twists in the saddle from the force of his swing and (roll athletics or nature DC10 to stay on Conn if not you fall off your horse).

Malik grits his teeth as he holds on realizing he almost let his battle rage get the best of him (16 athletics)

Alex jumps on the back of the griffon with Khalad. They swoop down at the attacking Orcs and wolves but only make it halfway down the cliffside during this round.
The last wolf leaps at the Malik (attack 21 if hit 6 damage and knocked off horse by Knockdown ability).
Delrin?
