Finn stands over Glirion, protecting the elf with his shield and sword, looking for an opportunity to strike Ghor when he can.
Sword 3, attack Ghor. Defensive, defend Glirion. Spend Hope to take any attack (from Ghor or archers).

Varuthil turns and aims her bow at the goblin archer, loosing an arrow at it.
Stance: Rearward
Action: Attack with bow vs. goblin archer
Don't spend Hope--I have little enough left, I think I should hoard it.

Gerwald watches Glirion fall to the ground and throws himself at Ghor with a renewed furry.
Forward, called shot Savage Blow. Spend hope if necessary. If someone wants to lend me a bonus die, I'd take it.

Red fills Glirion's vision as the orc's scimitar cuts deeply. There are no illusions about what may come next. Staggering up, Glirion staggers back into the protection of his comrades, hoping to finish off the orc before he is ended.
Let's switch to Rearward and maybe back up if I can. Otherwise, I'll try a pitiful stab at the orc.

Borir is surprised by the arrow in his shield and brings back his axe to strike the orc when he sees Glirion struck. He moves to put himself and his shield in position to provide some cover for those beside and behind him and then strikes the orc with his axe.
stance open
atk orc
(the moving is just color, there's no game play rules that I can find for shielding others)

actually from defensive position you can spend a point of hope if the companion you're defending gets attacked, to take the hit. If the tn to hit you is higher, the hit will even miss.

Hah, forgot I took that action for him!
Ghor the Despoiler is Despoiled

Varuthil turns her attention to the archer on the roof. She draws back and looses her arrow. The shot is perfect of course. It strikes the snaga in the eye socket and pierces into its brain sending it falling off the roof into the darkness out of sight.
Finn and Gerwald stay focused on the large black uruk Ghor. Finn stands over Glirion, straddling him, and slices with his blade into the orc's shoulder. Snarling, it howls as it is driven down to his knees. Spitting blood blood it mocks Finn, " It doesn't matter if you kill me. We've already become too strong to stop. The Master has risen again!" Then to punctuate his last words Gerwald slams his great spear through the chest of The Despoiler and ends his wretched life!
The others, Borir and Glirion, take in the scene, the battle is over, and you have won.
