Hammertouch - Goliath Barbarian
Too much planning, not enough acting. Let's not make this tricky, they are orcs, present a fight and they will comply, it is in their nature. I say we go straight in. I will go first, just stay close, yes?"

@Andreas
Spoiler
sorry i thought you stayed with the group, i didn't realize you meant by that post you were sneaking up. Since you did not give me a sneak roll, i have to go with the fact that, since you were invis you were not sneaking.
As you get closer to the orc camp, and finally get with in range of the detect magic to be able to work. you do notice 2 of the orcs, turn there head towards you, in orcishTurning towards you, you see the one starts walking your direction, the other one on patrol also begins moving your way.SpoilerNoise, go check, something there, food maybe.
Nothing radiates magic.
at this point you also have 15 rounds left of your invis, 15/30 rounds down.
@Telari
Spoiler
You notice that the orcs **** there head towards where your group would be coming from, not seeing anyone there tho. Both orcs on patrol begin walking that direction.

Noting the approach of the Orcs, Andreas loosens his mace and begins a (hopefully) quiet placement shift, hoping to get around the scouts.

Spoiler
The orcs walk right up to you, and begin looking through the forest, one of them, actually looks past you farther into the plains. in orcish
SpoilerYou see out, something there.
They then walk right past your position, almost brushing up against you, and proceed to head in that direction, towards the group.
holding here for Telari and others to post.
@Saevanna, Bilken Rabbit
Spoiler
While Mor is casting his spell, Andreas snuck off to spy on the orcs, while invisible. Every few seconds you glance off in the direction to keep an "eye" on him. After about a minute and a half or so you notice two orcs slowly making there way towards your position. Looking around as if they are on alert for something.
@Telari
Spoiler
you see the two orcs proceed towards the south, stopping and looking around, they talk to eachother, and then head south as if looking for something

Mor'iasti Tan-ormen, Cleric of Mystra
"In a hurry to get my butt kicked, are you?" Mor' snapped. "Prior planning prevents poor performance," he whispered in an annoying sing-song. "Fine. I think Rabbit's idea is a good one, since anything that will aid confusion and get them to waste ammunition and magic on phantasms means they'll have less to throw at us. I think Saevanna's idea is also good, and I don't see anything wrong with the orcs having a large bark covered wolf running around, especially if the point is to increase the threatening nature of the images. Let the wolves go, then see what pops out, then you can charge them. I'll follow, and when I get to that big rock there," Mor said, pointing at a large rock southeast of the cave mouth, "I'll pray for help from My Lady. You should all be in range. Just remember nothing lasts forever, even Mystra's favor."
SpoilerMor is aiming to get to P24 and use the rock for cover and concealment. Coincidentally, Mor will be running towards the rock behind which Telari is concealed, which will probably ruin the elf's day. However, it's the one best placed for the spell radius. "Sorry about that, chief."Last edited by TwoCents; 2008-05-22 at 12:18 PM. Reason: spelling

Seeing two of the orcs moving forward Telari tenses ready to strike, waiting for the fight to errupt, when nothing happens however he relaxes, but his thoughtsa re racing.
My allies seem to be taking thier time...perhaps something has happened beyond my sight...should I move...no, have patience...two orcs they can handle...must ensure none get into that cave and rouse a larger force...be ready...Spoiler

Mor looked over and noticed the others staring out at the campground. "Uh, oh..." Mor gulped for a moment, desperately wishing he could see his invisible ally. "Rabbit, do you still want to cast your spell? I'm ready with my Prayer whenever you all say."

Re: Cormyr Forgotten Realms Game
Rabbit - Ghostwise Halfling Wizard
Seeing the orcs moving in their direction, the little wizard's eyes get wide. Not wanting to waste any more time debating their course of actions, he springs into his quiet spellcasting. He rolls a small bag around in his hand, swirling a black candle over it mystically. Quickly spying around, he finds a spot within range for his new friend(s) to burst from.**
**
Spoiler
Not exactly sure where we are on the map, so Rabbit is looking for somewhere within 35 feet of himself where the wolf would not look to strange appearing behind.
With a last flourish, he points the candle and a slightly larger than normal wolf, with especially fearsome features appears, and bounds around the tree/rocks** headed past the orcs towards the cookfire. (Wolf has movement rate of 50, not sure if we're 600 feet away, or somewhere on the map. If 600, then it runs 200/round)
Rabbit stands there, his shoulders slouching at the lone wolf that appeared. He knew the spell should have been capable of summoning two or possibly even three of the creatures, but only one had heeded his call. A small pout found its way to his normally jovial, cherubic face. Shrugging, he puts the tiny bad and candle back into his pouch of components and begins fishing around for a small lump of gum arabic that surrounds an eyelash.Last edited by Diarmuid; 2008-05-22 at 03:01 PM.

Re: Cormyr Forgotten Realms Game
The wolf appears and begins running towards the camp. The orcs seeing it, jump to attention and begin to get into it's way, planning on the direction it is going to go. They don't seem to have noticed anyone in the group at all, yet.
There is about 180ft between the wolf and the orcs. The group is still 630ft from the cave, which is about 450 from where those two orcs are currently.

"We need to lure them closer to us," Bilken whispers gently, "perhaps then we could keep the element of surprise for as long as possible. Could you perhaps direct your wolf closer to us?" Bilken tightens his grip on his chain as he hears the Orcs moving about.

"Sorry, I dont speak infernal or wolf. I had intended the wolf to draw their attention so we could close the distance without being peppered by arrows and whatever else they have."

Re: Cormyr Forgotten Realms Game
here is a partial map, each square is about 20 ft... i know it's not perfect..LOL but it's hard to draw a map that will include everything
The wolf darts towards the orcs and then bounds west, making the orcs chase it. Which they do. The orcs chase after the wolf for a few seconds attempting to shoot bows at it, unfortunately non of there arrows hit. The do not even notice the shot that Telari made against them, as they were to busy worrying about the wolf.

"I do not like this waiting either Bilkem Dessum. Perhaps we should circle round and approach the camp from the east? If we make noise our companions here might be able to sneak closer without being noticed. The wolves go one way, we go the other. What say you?" Hammertouch gathers up his weapon, it looks like he's going to go for it anyway, but it's only polite to share the fun.

Telari - Elf Rogue
Seeing the shot go wide and the orcs unaware of his failed strike Telari drops back into a covered position sending a silent prayer up to Tymora. Taking a second to string another arrow to his bow he is confused that none of his allies had appeared. Still two of the orcs have moved away from here making the job of clearing the entrance that much easier. Taking a deep breath to calm his nerves he waits determined to see his allies engage before making another attempt, something strange is happening below, perhaps some plan is afoot that he cannot see.Spoiler

Hammetouch - Goliath Barbarian
Hammertouch nods to Bilkem and heads off with him in a circling maneuver. He hurries so as not to be too far out of reach if something changes in the orcs' orientation and positions. He feel confident that the remaining group can handle two orcs if he and Bilkem can engage the three left at the tents.
SpoilerCircling round, keeping to cover behind the rocks wherever they can. I'd intend to make a dash along the R column as much as possible, to get close enough to approach from a completely different angle to the rest of the group.
