Hank cursed himself for merely restraining the one-handed commander but not knocking him unconscious outright.

You all weather the wave of thunder and death. Well, almost all of you. Lorne and Varla convulse and lie dying from One-Hand's underhanded assault!

OOC:
Doesn't Stroke of Luck work on ability checks, not saves?
OOC:
I think you're right. Apologies. I was in a rush and didn't read it clearly. Could Sheila use Uncanny Dodge instead?

Usual 5e crit rules: roll the dice damage again.
Sheila still needs to roll the save. ;) I think Uncanny Dodge works against attacks, not AoE spells/effects.
I'll update later tonight.

OOC:
Yeah, looks like none of the Rogue/Theif defenses apply, sadly. "Evasion" comes closest, but it only works for Dex saves not Con saves.

HOWEVER, it does look like Sheila gets the +5 bonus to saves and resistance to spell damage for being within 10 fet of Eric.

"Soon all of you will be as dead as those humans!" One-Hand chortled phlegmishly.

Eric rushed past Diana and the fire elemental, up the stairs, and stabbed the merely on flaming unstunned dire troll in the face! It roared but for some reason didn't try to get away, merely thrashed and bashed against the wall.

Roll that poisoned CON save at the end of your turn, Bobby, and remember you have disadvantage on attack rolls (with Rage means your attacks are just regular attacks) and Ability Checks.. GO!

Post in progress... Done!
Bobby barrels across the courtyard, hurling the Thunder Club at the towering troll to his left! Twice, the weapon flies before returning to the barbarian's hand. Fur-booted feet pounding on the flagstones, Bobby veers right, bounds up to the battlements near Eric (G13), and hammers the Thunder Club into the other troll's skull! (Well, one of its skulls)
OOC:
On the first hit I will use the Crusher feat to stumble the target towards the center (north troll moves south, or south troll moves north)

If the melee attack hits, please add 4 pts Rage damage as well as the Bloodthirsty Strike damage below.

Done!
OOC:
Map updated and a few edits!
Bobby's attacks all strike their targets, drawing black blood from both trolls! The jolt knocked the top troll out of its stupor but it remained ablaze. Bobby seemed to take a note from the troll and purged the poison from his system as Thunder Club drained life from its fellow into him!

Clearly annoyed, Sheila sighs audibly and sits up to find all of her efforts so far wiped out in an instant. "Will someone take down whoever or whatever is killing us who are not Superheroes here!" She calls out and again attempts to administer aid to Varla and Lorne.

Diana is about to head towards the trolls when she hears Sheila call out. Diana scans the courtyard situation quickly and sees that Eric, Bobby, and Hank likely have the trolls under control, so she turns and sprints back inside. A quick look there reveals only one potential source of Sheila's concern - One-hand.

Another few steps and Diana is in the villain's face. She quickly sweeps his legs with The Staff, followed by a another blow and then a kick, both intended to render the orc stunned if not incapacitated.
OOC:
Move: Go to D3
Free action: Set staff Defender property to full to-hit & damage bonus
Action: Attack twice with staff using non-lethal damage. First staff attack uses a superiority die for Trip Attack: STR save DC 19.
Bonus Action: Martial arts unarmed strike, also non-lethal
Extra: The first time an attack hits and one-hand is still conscious, Diana will spend one ki for Stunning Strike: CON save DC 21
Reaction: After all that, if one-hand is still up and attacks Diana, she will use her reaction to either Riposte (if one-hand misses) or Counterattack with the staff (if one-hand hits).

Presto shakes off the daze that the orc commander cast him into and pulls himself to his feet. He staggers slightly but can see the pain the commander caused his friends. Moving towards Lorne and Varla, he finds Sheila providing care to both, but it's clear that the two are very close to death.

Presto clenches his teeth as his vision goes red. Fury is plain in his face and he turns to face the commander. Diana beats him to it, smacking the commander in the back of the head with her staff. The commander's head lolls as he goes unconscious, but it doesn't make Presto feel any better. "It's too good for him..." he mutters. His eyes fill with the light and fire of destruction he has already wrought. He brings a hand up and blasts the unconscious commander with a bolt of fire straight to his face.

The fire elemental does what it does best, and tries to further burn the northern troll.
OOC:
Presto is not trying to stun or damage any further but kill outright.

I hope that isn't too dark. They aren't kids anymore, and Presto has extraordinarily powerful magics at his disposal. There's no way he'd let a simpleton hurt him and his friends without consequence.

OOC:
I like it. Unexpected, and it gives us new things to RP off of.
Diana blinks in shock as Presto's blast erupts in front of her. She had focused herself to avoid killing the comander, following Hank's lead and what she thought was the consensus to keep the orc alive for information. She's not upset, well not mad anyway. Rattled a little maybe. She looks at Presto, and her shock fades to concern. Then she looks back to the orc, to see if by some miracle he has survived.

Done!
Diana knocked the orc unconscious but then Presto's firebolt sliced straight through Commander One-Hand's chest, incinerated his heart, and left him lightly smoking on the ground! The smell of BBQ wafted through the fort.

Once Sheila anointed their heads with ointment, Varla and Lorne stirred once more.

"Presto?" Varla called weakly.

"Eric?" Lorne called weakly.

The fire elemental's plasma punches further fried its still burning target troll while the other burning troll bit at Eric and clawed at him and Bobby before its flesh warped and spasmed into a whirlwind of teeth and claws! The Shield tried to protect Bobby but its magical interference wasn't enough to deflect the first set of claws.

And in the midst of the melee and murder, a single orc slipped off into the falling twilight.
OOC:
A bite and two claw attacks at Eric; one bite and one claw hit. Two claws at Bobby, both hit. The bite deals 10 piercing damage plus 5 poison damage; the claw attackss each deal 16 slashing damage. Let me know how all that adds up for you with any reductions, mitigations, etc.
Eric's disadvantage reaction still hits, alas.
Eric and Bobby must each make a DC 21 Dexterity saving throw, taking 44 slashing damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

I believe Bobby can make a reaction attack against the troll that hit him.
After that attack which might kill it, Hank can finish off this fight. :P

Bobby roars lustily as he weathers the storm of giant claws raking his angry flesh, and quickly retaliates with a savage swing at the dire troll!
