"You seem to be operating under the impression that I ought to oblige you. I must inform you that I am under no such delusion. Cease your irrational behavior at once, before it gets you in more trouble than you can fly out of."
With a sharp edge to his voice of scorn and disapproval, Estellen turns and goes to assist Doc in his work.

The sky begins to darken as the sun begins to set as you approach your observation point. There's still an hour, maybe two before twilight though.
As you look down you still can't tell who's who, or where specific places are within the camp, but on the northern side you notice that an area has been cleared. In this area there seems to be several large stones erected in some sort of circle. This area also seems to be the busiest now with several figures moving things into and out of the area.
About the vantage point, below you is about 100ft of cliff before reaching the bottom of the quarry (which the camp is on). The camp is then about a mile from the base of the cliff, this area being open rocky ground. To the nw and sw the ground slowly descends, meeting the bottom of the quarry a little way from the camps N and S entrances. (You are looking from the east)
"Well we won't know until we get closer and find out. I'll move up with Quilqwen." Tailine will pull up her hood and start making an approach toward the north side of the camp to see what is going on with that stone circle.

As Doc speaks Quilqwen looks back at him, seems to be on the verge of speaking then turns and follows Tailine. Moving as quietly as he can next to the Tiefling. When they are about a half mile out he stops. A look of determination crosses his face as his shape slowly melts into that of a Giant Rat. He then resumes his approach to the camp.
As you approach the camp you begin to see figures dragged towards the rocks and chained to them. You can now see at there are 2 circles of stones, one within another. The larger circle is made up of 12 smaller stones, each around 7ft tall. The inner circle is mad up of 6 large stones, each around 12ft tall. In the centre is a massive stone, about 20ft tall.
Except to chain people up, no one enters the circle, but the crowd around keeps growing.
Most of the people in the camp are orcs, with a few goblins darting around, trying to avoid any larger creatures.
Tailine looks on a bit wide eyed as the strange bird man turns into a large rat. "Okay, so that's something you can do. Good to know."
She settles in once they get close and scans the crowd below, orcs and goblins everywhere. She had been hoping to sneak into camp and maybe at least get the prisoners away, but that was looking less then possible at the moment. Feeling tremendously uneasy, she'll say to her rat companion, "This is bad. This is really bad and I don't think we can stop it without killing ourselves."

Violet comes out of the shadows, "Couldn't we try to flood them out? Use the river or something to sweep them away?" She remembers reading about a general who had used similar strategies to eliminated larger forces.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Quilqwen
Not wanting to lose his limited time Quilqwen darts away from the others. Moving away from the others quietly but not straight towards the crowds of orcs and goblins so as not to draw attention to the others location. After he gets a ways away from the others he picks up his pace and stops trying to move quietly instead rushing to see if he can trace back where they are pulling the captives from in the camp.
Estellen turns to Doc as they wait, "Hm. I don't like the look of those stones, do you recognize their pattern? How are we supposed to get these captives out alive from this mess... I suppose we could cause a distraction while they sneak the prisoners out, but I don't fancy our odds against an army. I did learn a spell which might help, but I'm not quite familiar with it enough to cast it."

Violet smirks from her hiding spot at Quilqwen's comment.

Quilqwen
"One idea is I could be one of the rats that they use and look through the camp for the prisoners."
"Not a bad idea to have you scout ahead. Anyone else have any bright ideas?"
"I wonder why they moving large stone." Jatrin point towards circle "don't you find it fishy for orc doing that?"

”Could it be connected to what you saw in the temple?”
"I sincerely hope not, but I'm not yet ready to rule it out as a possibility."
