“Then I’ll see what I can find. Wait here and I shall return with news.”
While the others wait up the path, Linder moves stealthy down it and off into the brush to the side to get a better look. Moving stealthily through wilderness isn't the same doing so in a town, but Linder does his best...terrymixon wrote: ↑Sun Feb 25, 2024 3:34 am“Then I’ll see what I can find.

Linder will use his stealth to find a place to see who is enjoying the fire. He’ll pay attention to everything else he sees, of course, but his primary goal is to be undetected.

Linder grins at their reactions. "Five orcs, with four of them asleep and the last one nodding off. They all have spears."Eris wrote: ↑Sat Mar 02, 2024 8:52 pmWhile the others wait up the path, Linder moves stealthy down it and off into the brush to the side to get a better look.

Linder...moving like a shadow in the dark with not one twig broken or leaf rustled he moves around the bend and spies on the campfire where a group of five Orcs are camped. Four are bedded down next to the fire, their spears on the ground beside them, and one is sitting cross legged holding his spear butt down to the ground. As you watch for a minute you see the Orc on watch nod a time or two...he looks drowsy, not very alert.
Turning and moving back to the others, Linder is just as quiet. He actually startles you as he appears near your group...you estimate 10 minutes have passed as you waited for him.
Carsta nods. "We should attack them while they're asleep, presuming an attack is the best option."terrymixon wrote: ↑Sat Mar 02, 2024 11:51 pmLinder grins at their reactions. "Five orcs, with four of them asleep and the last one nodding off. They all have spears."
"Not sure how easy it would be to sneak up on them. Lots of twigs and such. I got lucky, I'd wager, being a city boy. With him nodding off, maybe just going up the regular way quietly will get us there. Looking for anything set up to announce the unwary, of course."joertexas wrote: ↑Sun Mar 03, 2024 1:34 amCarsta nods.

An hour of full darkness, followed by increasing light to full daylight. Two hours to full daylight...you think.
"We move as quietly as we can, and then we rush them if we are discovered," Carsta suggests.
"Didn't see anything, but a horn is small and easy to use. If we stick to the road, maybe real close. If we go into the woods? Not close enough."
Linder nods and steps back to let the warriors figure out the details.
Linder will move out on the flank with his bow out and ready. He'll try to get to a spot he can snipe at the orcs from and then hang back while the fighters do their fighting. If they wake up the orcs, he will engage.
