Xavena waits for the orcs to move closer to the group before she takes any action against them. She turns to Cat. "Should we focus on the strongest of them?"

"Yes. That is how you break their spirit!" Cat declares. At least, she thinks to herself, that's how the heroes do it in the storybooks.

As you all prepare yourselves, the ragamuffin group shifts to hide behind your collected team. After several tense minutes, you see the orcs come into proper visibility, moving decisively through the snow. At a glance, it looks like there are five of them, all armored, however, the one in the middle of the pack has wickedly long claws on its hands. Both Aera and Baraq send arrows hurtling after the beefier looking orc, though only Baraq's lands!
Catriona can still take whatever action she'd like as Xavena shifts into a wolf. The orcs run forward, undeterred by the arrows raining from above, now about 80 feet from your location.

Baraq dives low, stashing her shortbow in favor of a javelin. She pushes once with her wings before extending them in a glide, savoring the taste of battle and the chance to prove her dominance of the world. In a reckless rage, she flings her javelin for the claw-handed orc.

Aera's arrow takes one of the orcs through the throat, sending it to the snow in a crimson blossom of blood.
Acting in unison, Xavenawolf and Baraq launch attacks at the claw-handed orc, each landing solid strikes. Her muscled frame doesn't bend as the wolf slams into her, however.
Catriona's flaming sphere swirls into existence, about ten feet from the charging orcs.
Infuriated by the nasty wolf bite, the claw-handed orc swipes at the wolf with four vicious swings of her clawed hands. Two of the swipes manage to connect with the wolf (16 and 18 vs AC. 4 and 8 (12 total) damage.)
The other orcs look to the skies, pulling a javelin each off their back and lobbing them towards the avians. One towards Aera and two towards Baraq. The javelin sailing towards Aera manages to clip the avian (20 vs AC. 6 damage.). Only one of the javelins manages to hit Baraq, but it definitely finds its home, slicing along where wing and body meet! (CRIT! 11 damage before rage reduction.).

Xavena suddenly shifts back into her dragonborn form. She clasps her hands together, calling forth vines that entangle at the feet of the remaining orcs.
[ +- ] Casting Entangle
Grasping weeds and vines sprout from the ground in a 20-foot square starting from a point within range. For the duration, these plants turn the ground in the area into difficult terrain.
A creature in the area when you cast the spell must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be restrained by the entangling plants until the spell ends. A creature restrained by the plants can use its action to make a Strength check against your spell save DC. On a success, it frees itself.
When the spell ends, the conjured plants wilt away.

Through the combined might of your party, the claw handed orc shrieks in a violent pain as first fire then Baraq's warhammer land decisive blows. As the avian's hammer strikes the orc, her eyes roll back into her head and she slumps to the ground, chest heaving no longer.
Aera sends another arrow into the chest of a javelin-wielding orc, sending it to its knees in a spray of blood on the powdery snow, lifeless as the other two.
Suddenly, from under the crystalline white covering, writhing vines and flowers surge up, wrapping around the creatures. In their sorrow over the loss of the claw-handed one, they seem unwilling to fight against the attack, submitting to the wrapping plants.
Combat Over. The orcs are not fighting back, the remaining two are bound. You may still attack them and such, but it would be out of init order.

Baraq stands above the claw-handed orc's body and screeches triumphantly. She tears the eyes of the orc from their sockets and guzzles one down, blood soaking her beak.

The people are still cowering some twenty feet away. Slowly, and with clear trepidation, they begin walking out from their hiding place to see the bound orcs on the ground.
