On his turn ((maybe the mob goes first?)) Usul will ready a bolt in his crossbow, and fire it from within the illusion, being sure to keep himself within it.
Usul's crossbow bolt is true and the lizard is so emaciated that one bolt is nearly enough to put it out of its misery. It staggers several feet before regaining its balance.
"My pet!" Crush would shout as he quickly puts one of his axes away and races towards the lizard. Once close hs would leap into the air and attempt to drop his heavily armored elbow on to the creature, hoping to knock it unconscious.
Crush hits the lizard in the head with an elbow smash, knocking it unconscious. It is bleeding heavily from the injury it sustained from Usul's crossbow bolt.
Staying in his illusion for the next few seconds that it lasts, Usul quietly thinks to Duncan who had hidden himself in the bushes "Go see if you can spot where that thing came from buddy." ((owl perception 21))
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Medicine! 7
The orc would quickly rip out the bolt before sticking his thick leather gloved finger into the wound in an attempt to stop the bleeding. Crush would then rip off a strip of his pants near his boot and wrap it around the wound the best he could. Once he thought it was good enough the orc would scoop up the lizard and sling it over his shoulder. "Lizard find.. Maybe... be food if die" He would say to the others.
Sen thinks to get close to the lizard for closer examination, and then thinks again and backs away. It's a big lizard with sharp talons. Greenish, with very lizard-like qualities, which would not surprise Sen in the least because, as mentioned, it is a large lizard.
Duncan flies up to take another scan of the area and doesn't see anything that might give clue where it came from. The orcs it saw earlier are still camped, and eating, though they are making fast work of their kill and will likely be on the move again soon.
Crush is able to perform some pretty handy battlefield medicine, all things considered. He's able to pull the bolt out stop the bleeding reasonably well.
Letting this illusion drop, Usul comes out to say "Did we learn what we came here for? Crush, you got any interest in meeting those other orcs? They're just cleaning up their kill and will likely move on soon."
Holding the giant bandaged lizard over his shoulder, he would turn and look to Usul. "meet orcs... ask know about tiefling..." Crush would say with a grunt .
(Just to recap, you were in the beginning of surveying the scene before the animals sensed danger. There's the noose used to hang Sunkx and the box of bottles and maps Aria found. Crush stomped around the grass and got a 0 on his nature check, probably killing some rare insect sending the species into extinction).
"Sounds good" Usul says, putting his crossbow into it's holder connected to his saddle as he hops back onto Muad, Duncan flying down to perch on his mount's neck.
"The camp was just that way." pointing towards the camp "You'll do the talking eh Crush?" patting his pocket saying "Though we aren't as scared of orcs as we used to be... We'll still hang back a bit."
The documents in Aria's possession are written in a number of different languages (I'm making this list without checking character sheets):
Elvish Draconic Undercommon Goblin
There are maps of Waterdeep and the surrounding area, with X's marked on the map for the Yawning Portal as well as several other buildings in the Castle Ward and the surrounding wards. There are also a few X's in the mountain.
Approaching the orc camp, Crush's usual direct approach draws their attention immediately, and they all bound to their feet, weapons drawn.
On his turn ((maybe the mob goes first?)) Usul will ready a bolt in his crossbow, and fire it from within the illusion, being sure to keep himself within it.

Sen looks at Crush, sighs heavily, and goes to the lizard to attempt to see whether he can help it. I don't know so much about animals...

Sen thinks it might be a lizard, but sends Nipper over to sniff it, just to be sure.
Well then, where next? he asks with false cheeriness, looking around for the next inevitable giant lizard attack.
Letting this illusion drop, Usul comes out to say "Did we learn what we came here for? Crush, you got any interest in meeting those other orcs? They're just cleaning up their kill and will likely move on soon."

ooc: I am sure it was some type of mosquito so it is fine...
(Crush kills a mosquito here, and on a continent on the other side of Faerun, a colossal hurricane begins to churn...)

Now that they seem to be out of combat, Aria will take a look at the parchment inside the one bottle and also at the maps. Anything of importance?

"Ive heard it both ways."
"Crush talk" He would say with a shrug before glancing to Aria as she begins looking though her documents.
Sen follows Usul as the group sets off, at a leisurely pace while Aria is perusing documents, and they head towards the orcs.

Aria can read Undercommon. The rest I would hope the others would be able to.
