From this distance its too hard to make out any details. There's no clear area for where any hostages might be, but most of the area is obscured by huts, walls and what might be animal pelts hung up around the camp.
More because of your location than your ability to be stealthy, you do not appear to have been spotted by the people in the camp.
As you head back towards your rest area you are travelling downhill, therefore you always have the high ground if anyone is ahead of you.
As you return to your resting place, you see a red dragon born in chainmail armour leaning on a glaive. As you notice him you see him look up in your direction.
Violet gives him a cautious look, but calls out in an annoyed tone, "Oy! Brimstone! What you be doing in our spot?" She readies her spells just in case this is a trap.
Jatrin respond to the second voice "I have a contract to exterminate an orc." As for other question he says "Some witnesses told me an elf and a green man was involved in setting the temple on fire."
(So either Estellen isn't nudged at all, or you manage to knock him prone without him noticing)
"I would advise you to let the matter of the temple lie undisturbed. Are you here to kill a single orc, or many? I assure you that finding a single orc in this mess would be quite hard, but we could lead you to many with ease."
Estellen looks back at the group, and then down to the bounty hunter. "Perhaps you can be of some use. We are tracking a group of orcs that have kidnapped some people from a nearby village, perhaps our interests coincide here?"
Jatrin ponders for a second "True having more people would make it easier to kill the orc, you have a deal as long i can claim the head of the leader if we find him"

(Did Quilqwen happen to spot a staging area for a future attack on the encampment?)
(The camp could easily hold 100+ people. A frontal attack might not be the best idea...)
Doc will look to see if he can spot what exactly tripped the alarm.
Perception: 8
Quilqwen
As we draw nearer where the necklace was buried Quilqwen keeps an eye out for anything or anybody that could be lying in wait.
Perception : 24
As you return to your resting place, you see a red dragon born in chainmail armour leaning on a glaive. As you notice him you see him look up in your direction.
Violet gives him a cautious look, but calls out in an annoyed tone, "Oy! Brimstone! What you be doing in our spot?" She readies her spells just in case this is a trap.
Estellen hisses at Violet as she completely blows their cover, "Why would you call out to him? Are you trying to get us all killed?"
He sighs, as the deed is already done, "Halt there, why are you following us? Did your masters send you here to kill us?"
Jatrin respond to the voice loudly "That depends on who you are, I do not serve any master though".
The dragonborn keep leaning on his glaive however tries search around with his eyes the source of the voice: Perception: 6

Bunol - Grim Angel - The Floating Lands of Goriate
Doc has his Warhammer and shield out, ready to move into melee with the Dragonborn if they prove a threat.
Quilqwen
”We are attempting to rescue some villagers from an orc encampment nearby.”
"Do you know what happened to the village temple?"

Estellen looks a bit wary at the mention of the temple, "And what reason have you for inquiring about the temple?"
Jatrin respond to the second voice "I have a contract to exterminate an orc." As for other question he says "Some witnesses told me an elf and a green man was involved in setting the temple on fire."

Doc remains mute on the subject, nudging Estellen forward.

(More along the lines of the latter; I pictured Doc nudging Estellen without anyone else noticing what forced him forward)
