"...Debts must always be paid, sometimes in more than blood and gold. But this is Ordo Ursa," Ren places his hand on Erakas's chest, right where the Dragonborn's heart is. "Right here. And it always has been and always will be. Don't ever forget that. Because I won't."

The two orcs are standing on the cliff looking bored, like every other day. The right one gestures to the other, lifts up his loin cloth and pees off the edge which causes the one on the left to laugh out loud. In mid stream, two magic missiles slam in to the orc and he staggers backwards, and starts to scramble away from the ledge. At the same moment, another missile and a javelin knock the second orc off his feet and he disappears backwards. They both start screaming in orcish.....
Iroona (because she is the only one who can understand them)
"What the shit!" "Ow!" "Invaders!" "Alarm!" "Ow my nuts!"
The path continues up and back around to the right, you are all about 20 feet from where the orcs were - but you cannot see them from where you are currently as they have backed away from the ledge.
Flint is uneasy about fighting a force they don't know the numbers of. "Stick close, hug the walls, and no charging into unseen environments!"

Rowena gives a quick glance back scowling at both Iroona and the gardener just before she begins her rush forward, her maul upraised not giving a minotaur's hairy nut sack as she shrieks like a Harpy in the Common tongue at the retreating orcs, "pathetic nutless kobold scum, I am going eat your hearts and defecate your souls straight to the pit of hell reserved for craven cowards!" Rowena gives chase to the ledge and beyond if need be not caring if of the others follow her or not!
Iroona hesitates a moment, not sure if she should abandon her safety behind Slate, but she will edge out forward until she can see the orcs (just one 30' move though), and if she does, she'll pop an eldritch blast at whichever one is nearest. If she does not see a target, she will last and wait for the others. If she has any movement left, she will shoot, then use it to scurry back to safety. She does all this very prettily.
Attack: 16 to hit, for 10 force damage, and 10' of slowed movement (Lance of Lethargy) until the end of Iroona's next turn

Hearing the combat above Flint does what Flint does best...or tries to do what he does best. He blends himself into the cliff wall and smiles, knowing he is safely obscured from the monsters above.

Were you going to make an attack or were you just running at them?
One of the orcs looks to be rubbing his nether regions as an eldritch blast punches a hole through their chest and they fall back with a shocked look upon their face dead.
Flint, you do your best to look like rocks, but everyone can still see you.
OOC: As far I got the reading DM post the orcs ducked out of sight, Rowena is giving chase to try to catch them. If she can see them and close enough to make a melee attack with her maul then she will do so, if she cannot see them then I am assuming she cannot attack what she can not see so keeps moving after them in the direction she believes they are/were headed in.
While screaming at the top of her lungs - the orc can only stare in dumbfound confusion as Rowena's maul comes crashing down upon it, crushing the remaining life from its body.
Both orcs are dead - and the path continues in to the mountain.
Rowena immediately takes out her dagger and proceeds to cut the hearts out from both Orcs and takes a single bite out of each heart in some sort of barbaric religious ritual to the Goddess Eldath. Then Rowena politely offers the others in her group a bite if they so wish before discarding them. Afterward, Rowena checks the Orcs for weapons that she might be able to use and any valuables (coins and such, etc.) laying it all out to share with the others! A smile on her blood-red lips as she looks at Iroona, "well I talked to them, it's all good, no complaints regarding my diplomatic skills!"
Rowena finds a handfull of random teeth, a rusty short sword and a sharpened stick that could be a spear if you squinted at it.
As you continue along the trail...
Shallow steps lead up through a steep fissure to the south and turn east into the mountainside. Here, a broad entranceway has been carved out of the stone. Marble steps cracked with age and veined with green moss lead up to a strong double door of carved stone, eight feet wide and almost ten feet tall. Arrow slits high on the north and south walls command this area.
Discarding the Orc weapons and valuables as worthless and useless... unless someone else sees something that they like Rowena continues on and notes the arrow slits along the north and south recognizing it for what it is, a fortified position with a welcoming killing zone! So Rowena stops short, not going on any further into such an obvious trap!
She turns and calls out, "master gardener and my own sweet master of fire what have you available to prune the hedges here?"
OOC:@ArgentHow many arrow total individual slits are we talking? How far are the spaced apart are they? How high off the ground are they? What is the distance from where the slits first start to the great door?

Oh sorry - yes if you advance up the path it turns to the right and you can see the orcs standing there.
Feel free to swing away :D

Rowena
Rowena upon catching up to them once more shrieks like a harpy as she attacks the closest Orc at hand with her maul to hit 18 if hit damage 12
While screaming at the top of her lungs - the orc can only stare in dumbfound confusion as Rowena's maul comes crashing down upon it, crushing the remaining life from its body.
Both orcs are dead - and the path continues in to the mountain.
