Zoveldra nods without hesitation. "We knew there would be orcs. Bringing back Anric is our task. I hope he will still be alive...He was trying to help people, which seems rare around here." She is clearly more interested in doing the right thing than any reward.
"Ah, I can help." Elero approaches the Warforged, with the Protector Cannon dutifully following. After a quick examination of LANDMOP's remarkable physiology, he changes his mind, opting for Cure Wounds rather than Mending, and casts it at first level, healing 8 HP of damage.
The Cannon also pulses out another shield burst, giving LANDMOP 9 temp HP on top of the healing.
"Adequate. Thank you" LANDMOP says and then begins to loot the bodies, particularly the larger orcs
Once the looting is done and distributed, Mome will look at the now-open door and say, "At last, we get to see the other side of this." and cross the threshold.
So it seems The Rouge may have taken on a few extra members, at least for now. You find the same bloody skull symbology on the shields, garments, and tattoos that you’ve encountered before on these orcs. You also find some interesting treasure on the lead orcs:
Gold necklaces, gems, and rings totalling a value of about 750gp
"If you'd like I can divine any magical properties of any equipment we have. I believe it more practical to take the time now I'm case it is something beneficial to our cause."
"I guess we should move forward together than, we are the Rouge" Erix says

Mark hands what he finds to Erix since he has the bag, "I agree, let us make a proper introduction before we take more lives. My name is Mark Finkler. I tend to be the talker in our group and have connections in...procurement. I want to be clear, I love gold and making deals. I like helping people, but I do not believe in doing for free if I know the person can afford it." He then takes a slight bow, "Nice to make your acquaintance."
Zoveldra turns to Mark, clearly more relaxed now that they have fought together and are on equal footing so to speak.
"It is good to meet you on the ground. I am Zoveldra, as you know. A monk and guide to dark places. I understand accepting payment; even those on the Path of Light need supplies and equipment to do the most good."
"Elero Muhendis." He raises a hand sheepishly. "A worker in Yosgrim's shop, and also a part of the Rouge." He waves at the Protector Cannon as it clanks up next to him. "I make things. Good to meet you."
"Well, aren't we a chipper crowd?" Mark then turns his attention to Zoveldra, "If you are going to hang with us, you will need something red, you know, because of the whole Rouge thing." The tone is jovial, but there is a sense of unease in his eyes. They were able to take care of the Orcs with relative ease, but he knows that is not the end of the story. The clock is ticking, and with all this noise, the captive may be on borrowed time.
The path down which the orcs arrived lies open to you, assuming you go that way you walk for about 20 minutes then come out into a grand cavern. Within the cavern you see a structure built into four giant stalactites hanging from the ceiling. Well built rope bridges connect the stalagtites and a waterfall runs down between the left two to a pool at the bottom. You also see a lift hanging from a rope going up between the two right stalagtites.
You see orcs moving along the bridges, but hear no alarm; they haven't seen you yet. What is The Rouge's next move?
Mome halts her departure to return to the conversation. It would be useful to know better her new companions, besides, she had a question. "Uhm, what the krakan is a Rouge? I don't mind working with you on our shared mission, but I, Mome Kalino, am the salted cleric to the pirate ship the Boisterous Bastard and cannot change my allegiance." Mome's tone is firm, but her posture remains relaxed.
"Speaking of living, would you all like me to animate your bodies should you die in here? I can return it to any loved ones or organizations upon exit" LANDMOP days
Erix looks a bit shocked at LANDMOP "IF I would die here I would appreciate it if my body wa brought back to my parents, but not in an animated condition, thank you."

"Adequate. Thank you" LANDMOP says and then begins to loot the bodies, particularly the larger orcs
Mark will also loot through the bodies and say. "Well, we all want the same thing, so let's get what we can here and move forward."
Once the looting is done and distributed, Mome will look at the now-open door and say, "At last, we get to see the other side of this." and cross the threshold.

Gold necklaces, gems, and rings totalling a value of about 750gp
A brown potion on the Blade of Ilneval
Strange green boots on the Red Fang of Shaargas
"If you'd like I can divine any magical properties of any equipment we have. I believe it more practical to take the time now I'm case it is something beneficial to our cause."
LANDMOP mentions to the group
"That makes sense. We should use everything we can."
Sure. I think we can take a sip of the potion and tell what it is, but please use your powers on the boots.
"I guess we should move forward together than, we are the Rouge" Erix says

LANDMOP will silently begin casting identify as a ritual. Awkwardly ignoring the introduction

LANDMOP successfully identified the magic items, they are:
Boots of Speed
Potion of Stone Giant Strength

Elero peers into the darkness. "We'll explain if we live through this. How many orcs are down there, exactly?"
