Yarl sees the remaining orc drop and takes a look around to see if anyone noticed the ambush. He looks over towards the group and draws his thumb across his neck signaling his intentions to the sleeping humans.

Unless he sees any major objections he will cut the three of their throats and then loot the bodies.

Francisco nods his approval and immediately starts pulling the bodies back behind the grave markers of the cemetery.

He will whisper a call for assistance if nobody helps right off the bat.

Once all of the bodies are hidden, he quickly goes through their belongings, looking for anything of value.

On the human bodies you find: a belt pouch with some hard rations (not much, maybe enough to be a snack), and a few small, insignificant belongings, and no coin.
On the orcs, you find the same, but one orc is carrying 16gp, and the other is carrying 13gp.
The armor and weapons on all victims are in fine shape, but are nothing to note.
If you'd like, roll to recover for arrows shot, and let me know what you're doing next.
To the other two (Brok and Kurn) who are separate from the main group, I'll be sending a PM in a little bit.

two arrow recovery effort: [1d2] = 1

Veneficus will recover the one useful arrow, and also pick up the broken one. That way any body finders wont find the elven made arrows around.

He will notch his good arrow, in case any badguys come at them.

Bolt Recovery [1d2] = 2

Francisco retrieves his bolts, cleaning the one that was used, and returns them to his quiver.

He collects the coin from the two orcs (makes a point of it, so nobody thinks he's stealing anything... just collecting their lootz) then whispers, "The tent next?" He loads his crossbow again and holds it at the ready.

The tent that is the cloister, correct?sounds logical...if so, think the sword may be better, huh?

"Aye," Nuonne agrees as he moves to the tent-like cloister.
This is a game about killing things and taking their stuff so you can become more powerful in order to kill bigger things and take even better stuff.

Okay, so when you approach the cloister building do you go down its eastern side or its western side? The eastern side is closer to the outer wall, and the western side would put you between the cloister and the temple.

Brok had been creeping north along the outer eastern wall of the cloister building when he sees the party round the corner ahead. He removes his hood and steps out of the shadows into the moonlight, waving his hands to indicate he is not one of the enemy contingent. He will then signal the others to creep closer as he steps back into the shadows.

When the others approach closer, Brok whispers. "So I am guessing you all ambushed the patrol? If so, it was quiet enough that we could not hear," he offers with a smile in the dark. "There is a breech in the cloister wall there just yonder before where Kurn is. It is large enough to gain entry by or shoot numerous missile weapons through. There are about a half-dozen orcs playing a game of dice or bones within. They are unaware of our presence. I could not see any others without sticking my head inside and taking the chance of being seen. Not sure how you all want to play it but Kurn and I could make our way around to the front door, pretending to be some of their numbers, and cause a... diversion. Those with missile weapons or spells could launch them through the breech and then move in. What do you think?"

The men outside the eastern wall will be expecting the patrol very soon. Should we send a couple around that side in disguise, and then ambush those two first? then pepper the orcs inside? or are we talking about the same group of future victims?


edit-thought this was the strategy thread...so, ooc'd the text.
