"Speak for yourself, Doc. I for one do not trust them to empty a boot with instructions on the heel. If they refuse to trust me as a result, it will be their loss. Since I have no information on what's going on, I will refrain from interfering for now. As for the orcs, I am here to avenge the peace and quiet that they took from me, and also save those people, of course. I am eager to move on as quickly as possible, but it would leave a bad taste in my mouth if those people died due to a failure on my part."
A slight smile seems to crawl across Doc's serene, meditative face as he hears the comment about emptying a boot, but only for a moment. He wriggles in his seated position and readjusts his posture as he continues to practice patience. "Your motivations and reasonings are fair, Estellen, and for that, you have my respect."
(Not that I don't like RPing Doc, but can we get a look at what Quilqwen is currently experiencing?)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Violet will silently stare at the lights, but follow behind Doc. However, as they move, she keeps an eye on the camp, not entirely confident with everyone else's ability to keep hidden. (lol)
[Lol maybe not for you! But Doc definitely doesn't want to go rushing head first into enemy territory, let alone what could now be a trap. He'll make his way over as quickly as possible and attempt to gauge the situation Quilqwen may find himself in. He's trying to use cover to his advantage (especially considering it should be nightfall by now), but he's not trying to be overtly slow and sneaky about it.]
(same though Violet was down somewhere with Tailine.)
Jatrin follows doc however stealth isn't the dragonborn strong suit with his flaring red scales with tinge of yellow and with the metal sound of it Chain Mail.

"Well, hopefully he's found a way to release the captives, but more likely he just needs our help. Let's go, either way, I might be able to teach that ungrateful bird a lesson"
Estellen follows Doc, trying to be as stealthy as possible. Stealth: 9
(How much time do I have left on Detect Magic? If it's run out, Estellen will hold Shocking Grasp ready for if they are discovered and accosted)
Estellen, Doc, Jartrin are about 15 minutes away from the camp. Violet is near an entrance on the North side of the camp. Tailine is North-West to West of the camp, trying to get a look in, but with no luck. Quilqwen is somewhere in the camp. The Stone circle is towards the North/North-West of the camp, but not next to the outer wall.
After a minute of walking towards the camp from the overlook, all sound is sucked from the air. A force, like a wind but different, very slightly pulls everyone and everything towards the stone circle. (easily resisted by you, but trees, grass, small stones all get visibly pulled a little) This 'anti-sound wind' persists for a short while, causing your ears to hurt a little the longer it goes on for. Suddenly it stops, but still no sound is heard and you're unable to make sound.
With a massive boom, a massive, constant bolt of lightning strikes the circle. It leaves after-images of cruelty, pain, violence. The images seem to bypass your eyes, causing those feelings to go directly into your brain. The crackling of the lightning is the only sound you hear.
After a few moments it's gone, but still no sound.
Another few moments go by and the large central stone explodes with another boom, it's fragments outlining an archway which fills up with a blackness darker than anything you've seen before. (Estellen, Doc this is familiar...)
Sound slowly creeps back, taking a little under a minute to fully return, although there are no longer any sounds of wildlife.
Tailine is racking her brain to try and think of a way to help Quilqwen without also getting herself caught when all the sound dies. She hunkers low to the ground, both curious and frightened at the silence, the horrible images, and then the subsequent explosion. She will creep slowly and cautiously back to her companions, risking glances down at the camp to see if she can see anything new.

(Indeed, if he can get a signal out then we can go in and probably die)
(He’s trying)
Violet and Tailine, you see a small firework like effect somewhere deep in the camp, but 30ft in the air.
(PER DC 15 for those on the hill to see it)
Perception: 7
Doc continues to keep his eyes closed, deep in meditation.
Perception: 6
Estellen is focused on a single blade of grass.
Perception: 16
"Do you guys signal each other with sparkles? Don't think orc use it for festivities." Jatrin point toward the fireworks.
Nox - Adult Oblex - The Trials
Jartrin Ephok - Dragonborn - Zanoliv
Bunol - Grim Angel - The Floating Lands of Goriate
A couple more of these 'fireworks' go off, slightly south of the 1st one
Doc snaps his eyes open and turns his attention to the fireworks.
"That must be the signal from Quilqwen. Let's move and try to remain unnoticed for the time being."
Doc will get up and begin to make his way toward the fireworks, traveling amongst the hills and along the outskirts of the quarry.
Violet will silently stare at the lights, but follow behind Doc. However, as they move, she keeps an eye on the camp, not entirely confident with everyone else's ability to keep hidden. (lol)
Stealth: 11
(Keep hidden? I’m sending up flares. Hiding’s not really in the cards at this point.😂🤣)

(Yeah I just meant for me.)
(Also I thought it was just Estellen, Doc and Jartrin that was still up on the hill, and Violet is with Taline as part of the scouting party?)
(same though Violet was down somewhere with Tailine.)

(Nice, also, yah my bad, was tired from work and forgot that detail XP I'll just delete that post)
