Digsby and Biddle prod their weapons through the crack in the door in desperation, nicking the half-orc with blade and fire, weakening his resolve!
(Digsby rolls 2+1 and gets 3,4—with flame I'm allowing the 'berserk' rule to kick in if doubles are rolled; Biddle rolls 2-3 and gets 3,4. These hit point totals will deduct from the enemy's MR as though they were ranged attacks.)
Doughty continues to struggle with the door, very nearly losing the handle in his sweaty pint-sized grip. Garrick and Weeba rush up to help; one of them grabs hold of the halfling and pulls him like an anchored rope—Doughty wonders if his very arms will yank free of their sockets—and the other throws the heavy board across the door braces.
(Weeba/Garrick will be represented by whoever has the better 'MR' of LK+ST+DX. Rolls: Doughty's 'MR' 27 rolled 5,6,6—almost a 'berserk' trigger from rolling triples, but not quite!; Weeba/Garrick's 'MR' of 40 rolls 3,4,5,5,6; the half-orc's 'MR' of 73 (it lost a point from spite last round) rolls 1,4,5,5,5,6,6. The adventurers win the tug-of-war with 74 hit points vs 63!)
The half-orcs are now locked out in the foyer. They jostle the door to no avail, and then begin to bang and hack at the heavy wood of the door; their weapons are clearly not very well suited for the work of cutting through, but with their overpowering strength they are bound to succeed eventually.
As a sword continues to hack away one of them calls out in broken Common, "Little hoomans, why you zap us with puny spells, znort? It not nice! Now come out, you in our house! We is not hurt you. Just crush the ugly wizard, him we not like! Znort!"
