The Stranger retrieves her daggers from the fallen orc, and can grab up to four javelins as well (there are a total of eight lying around the area). The body also bears 2 GP in a small pouch.
Having collected what she can in a few seconds, the Stranger carries on her way and starts to cross the bridge; it seems to be secure but is somewhat slack, and moves easily underfoot. Nevertheless, she maintains her poise and is able to move at half pace over the yawning chasm – there is no bottom in sight, only the crashing of water far below in the darkness.
Garavant, winged by the orc’s arrow, darts forward with a lunge of his rapier. With a display of martial prowess that is as much audacious flair as it is attacking force, he skewers the orc straight through the heart. Face contorted by pain, the archer slumps to the floor, clawing at the needle-like blade protruding from him.
Ingrida’swarning comes too late for the expired orc, as her conjured hammer continues to glide over the chasm towards her it seems to be racing the Stranger across the divide.
Lucy finds the panel for the secret door in the south wall and activates it, waiting as the stone door descends into the floor and reveals a short corridor which turns to the right at the end. Although there is no verbal response to her warning, she does hear the scraping of hobnailed boots from somewhere on the corridor's path.
Hiding behind the wall, Lucy casts Minor Illusionto create a 5 feet high mirror which reflects an image of herself.
By the way, nearly every wizard apprentice has the same question when they learn the illusion cantrip. Can minor illusion make a working mirror? The answer is No. Making a real mirror belongs to conjurors or high level illusionists, and far beyond cantrip's power. The mirror made by Minor Illusion can only reflect something that the caster has seen or imagines. The illusion mirror doesn't have much use unless a party joke or… in this case luring an orc archer to waste his arrow and reveal his hide place. .

Garavant raises one booted foot and kicks the dying orc as he yanks his blade back to remove it from his foe's chest. He looks down at the expired orc for but a moment and quirks one eyebrow up. "Never bring a bow to a sword fight, my friend,"he says as the light in the orc's eyes goes out.
He glances around the corner to see if there are any other enemies lying in wait--or anything else of immediate interest. Perception 22
If he sees nothing of concern or import, he whirls and rushes back to join the others. ((Move to square where Artemis is))

The stranger continues across rope in hand, using her training from balance to avoid the sway of the bridge. acrobatics21athletics22 . "Almost there," she says to the closest party member as she's getting to their end of the bridge, "Its sturdy, just sways a bit. The name's Silaqui - Sila for short. Tied a rope to help with crossing should you all be going back this way again and grabbed some of their javelins."
Breestands firm, her hand poised mid-gesture and ready to finish the incantation that will summon an arcane bolt of fire on her command. Her brightly decorated dress contrasts starkly with her battle-ready expression, locked in concentration.
Silareaches the end of the bridge (using a Dash action if that’s OK) and ties her rope to the stanchion as she hops off (anyone holding this line when crossing will be safe from plummeting to the depths below, should they fail their checks when crossing).
Garavantdelivers his (frankly brilliant) aside to the orc’s corpse and darts his head around the corner. He sees a descending stairwell, at the bottom of which is an orcwaiting to fire its bow at anyone appearing around the corner. Garavant presents such a small target that he has more than ¾ cover, and the orc does not fire but barks a warning to his colleague(s). In his brief recce of the space beyond the corner, Garavant did see that a room opens up at the bottom of the stairs.
(As Garavant only wanted to return if he found nothing, I have left him in place with a held melee attack – please advise of any changes to this)
Lucy’s illusion appears in the corridor inside the secret door, facing towards the orc archer (south). A single arrow flies towards the illusion on an upwards trajectory, straight through the image, and a howl of frustrated surprise can be heard from the direction of the arrow’s origin.
Ingrida finishes summoning her hammer to her and then begins to send it down the hallway towards the orcs, "Moradin's 'ammer will help dispatch them, but so will my axe!" she then slow began to 'descend' toward the waiting orcs.

"Well met Sila. I'm Luciferazen. Just call me Lusy!" The elf answers without looking back."The halfling behind me is Bree.The dwarf girl and half elf dandy are Ingrida and Garavant.

She enters the secret room and charges toward the direction where the arrow came from. Her rapier is thirsty for blood.

Sila presses on quickly launching the daggers as soon as within sight. "Coward, come out and fight!"She shouts ahead to taunt the creature into showing itself sooner.
"Wait. Friend…what?" Lucy blinks her eyes as she watches the half elf monk passing her. "Another weirdo. But who cares,as long as she is good at killing orcs …" Following Sila, the elf wizard enters the hidden corridor. She calls to the orc with a loud voice. "Your friends are busy right now! So there's no help! Accept it! Stop whining like a piglet! Come out and die like a real boa!"
