Orc Warlord
He had waited for this. He watched the group of adventurers go down the hill, back toward the Capital.The massive orc clad in spiked armor had received his orders, and he would lead his troops to victory. He let out a powerful warcry, and charged, grabbing his greataxe in both hands as he began chanting an orcish war song. A hundred against seven, there was no chance they would fail.

Goal
You are 100% a war bard alright. You can still cast a few low level spells, but your main focus is charging into melee with your greataxe and spiked armor, and “twf” with them via Axespike, with your downright immense strength bonus, while having a literal army behind you.
