"Well, this is unexpected," Domarc observes. "He's a man of few words, but that might be the right negotiator for this moment."

The orc speaks. His voice is loud and he pronounces his words in your common tongue, slowly and deliberately:
"You are strong. We die to you. But I warn you: do not go. The dead city, it belongs to Tezu Nomo. The dragon valley, it belongs to Tezu Nomo. Men of southern lands are hated by Tezu Nomo. You are warned."
He lets those words hang in the air for a moment, then turns his back on the party and starts to walk back to where the rest of the orcs are waiting.
Annganne, Felor, and Mordred, you can take actions.

The orc picks his weapons back up, raises them high in the air, and shouts something. The other orcs raise their weapons as well, yell back, and start to run toward the party.
It appears they've chosen to die fighting. You can all take a combat action now.

Zangua moves forward to meet the charge, smashing into the nearest orc. He swings twice with his longsword, maneuvering his shield to thwart retaliation and guard his flank, as he attempts to hold the orcs back from his companions.

Zangua steps forward to meet the speaker again, this time with steel. One cut stops the orc's charge, then Zangua knocks him out flat.

Felor sighs a wary sigh, sad that a chance for an end to hostilities appeared and then vanished just as suddenly, then moves up alongside Zangua. He stabs forward with his spear, hoping to skewer another orc.I forget what rules we're using for crits - standard double die rolls?

I'm back, sorry gang.
Mordred moves up to stand beside Zangua, and prepares to lash out at anything that comes within range.
Ready an Attack, but hold off until it is clear that the orcs are continuing to be aggressors. If their approach brings them within 5 feet of Zangua, it can be a Sneak Attack, based on the rules, but if they try to avoid the big guy, it won't be, so I will spread out the rolls.
ETA: The Old Gods and the New punish me for my absence, it seems.

Felor rushes up and sets his spear just in time for another orc to charge into it, swinging futilely as he dies. Mordred meets another orc's charge, but his dagger doesn't pierce the orc's hide armor.
The wolves, now both seemingly returned to their senses, take off together in a southerly direction, while the three surviving orcs each swing their jagged blades at the party members before them.
Edit: Only Felor takes a hit, the blade shearing down across his left arm.
Any of you may take another action now.

Mordred does a clever little spin-around and sinks his dagger into the back of the neck of the orc straddling the one run through by Felor's spear, who lets out a low gurgling moan and sinks to his knees on top of his dead companion.
Two orcs left standing, everybody but Mordred can take an action.

Working together, Felor and Zangua put down another orc, and Zangua pivots to thrust his sword through the belly of the last one standing. This orc drops his weapons and steps back, using his hands to ease the blade from his gut, then falls to his knees and lifts his chin to accept a coup de grace.

Zangua lifts his blade. When he swings, he blow serves to knock out the orc, instead.
"They said something about how we shouldn't go there," Zangua says to the others. "Said some names, don't know what that's about. Figure when they wake up, you all can ask."
