/ooc I thought they took the 3 out the others Orcs with the wolves are in the caves still unless I'm mistaken. I think we can hide and get the long rest in the room but we need to move and close the door and leave it closed.

Lana has no idea if the three orcs that chased after Bel & Yasmina caught up with them, or how they fared if they were found.
// But you are of course allowed to make artful metagaming decisions :) You've already chosen to stay behind here and leave the other group to their own devices, so chasing after them now would actually take a lot more creativity to not be jarring! In other words, trusting that they'll be able to handle three orcs would make a lot of sense. //
Lana looks around "I think we would be running all night to catch up to them, besides if they caught them one or two things would happen they would bring them here in which we could help or they will kill them and we cannot help" she said quietly. "I say we move back to that room close the door before anyone expects anything and actually try and rest up" she says pointing to the room.
Lana, GB, and Aregarak finally settle in for a well-deserved rest, with Lana's bow of warning close by.

Meanwhile, the very tired journeying group has reached Courana's village. It's hard to tell the time, but it's somewhere close to pre-dawn.
The village is very humble, with a 10-foot wooden palisade surrounding the dozen or so small dwellings, temple, and smithy. There is a stone well in the middle of a large dirt circle in the center of the village, and there are plenty of animals wandering around...fowl, pigs, and goats.
Courana grabs her fiance's hand. "That's my family's house," she says, pointing to a humble, single-story farmhouse. "I can't wait to see the looks on their faces!"
“Agreed. We could all use a rest. Lead the way.” Bel glances at Yasmina to see how she is doing then continues on. “The sooner we rest, the sooner we get back to our friends” Bel looks around at the small town to see what he can discern from any of it like what god is worshipped in the temple etc.

// Go ahead and make an Intelligence (Religion) check. //
Lana sits down after making sure the door was closed her back against the wall at the top of the stairs across from the stairs. Her bow laid across her lap with a hand on it as she pets the top of Spirit's head with other hand almost absently. Leaning against the wall she goes into her elven trance as she begins her inner meditation to regain her spells and prepare for the next leg of their journey. Spirit closes her eyes and drifts asleep laying her head across Lana's legs.

history 19 for anything else about the town
Knowing what you know in general, this village is small enough that it doesn't have a place on the maps, and there's a good chance it doesn't even have a proper name. It looks to be fairly recent; all the buildings are wooden and don't look more than several decades old.
The temple is simple but elegant, with effigies carved into the walls of people you don't recognize, surrounded by carvings of roses and grain stalks.
/ooc Whoo hoo I hope he falls lol
The axe sticks in the orc's chest, his grip slackens, and he is gone, plummeting into the blackness of the chasm.

Lana looks to the others "What do you want to do" she asks them.

Yasmina smiles at Courana, "well then lead the way, I could use a nice warm bed about now or at the very least a blanket near a fire."
“Agreed. We could all use a rest. Lead the way.” Bel glances at Yasmina to see how she is doing then continues on. “The sooner we rest, the sooner we get back to our friends” Bel looks around at the small town to see what he can discern from any of it like what god is worshipped in the temple etc.
