Have you considered more challenging monsters?  Also, try separating the
party, or get a turncoat NPC in their midst (humans are a *much* more
challenging monster, more challenging (read fun) to play for the DM too).
Hitting isn't everything.  Also, why didn't the orcs throw things at
that thief?  From his place on near ceiling, he couldn't have his
dexterity as he was busy hanging onto the wall.  Also, he must have had
his back to the orcs.  Easy bate, and not the position I like my
thieves in...
