The party are moving out at mid-morning the terrain get a bit rockier with trees mixed in....Lars signals to Petnan to pause.
PM coming to Petnan
Lars spots a crossroads ahead..He can see a humanoid/orcish figure and an ogre up ahead. 300 yards...We might want to check this out in more detail.
how would the party like to progress. I could look through Lars eyes and see in more detail while he approaches I could also ritually cast comprehend languages on Lars so he will understand if they are talking. And guidance if useful. Open to other options form group
“Seems like we have some time to hide. I read a scroll in the library that suggested concealing ourselves about 20’ from the center of the trail could help us surprise them. Perhaps Petnan and Darbakh on one side with me and Ral on the other? The downside is that Ral and I won’t be able to learn easily what Lars learns.”
I wish they'd allow it to stay active once I start the session.
BD&D map is in Alpha not even beta testing so we are likely to see some blips here and there.
Yep likely it has an inactivity timeout and not set up to handle this play-by-mail type games. It (map) is inactive. (Only letting you know in case during your last message you reactivated it)

It shows active and I had the session started since last night..I don't know for sure if it's active it just doesn't show that it's not.
Try now. I have seen Petnan connected to the map in prior encounters sessions. Not this one yet.
Petnan has Lars pause near the crossroads and you can only see the two up ahead...Looks like an orc in good armor and an Ogre nearby...The Orc is saying in common, "Pipe down you idgits The boss said they'd be coming this way."
You gather that there's more than meets the eye here, but you can't figure it out just yet.

something seems wrong at the cross roads. I sense that it’s an ambush. Especially, in how they are taking about “everyone needs to be quite as they are expecting someone”
mid you all want I can go back to where I was and you all can move into position and then you can initiate the attack or I can with Eldritch blasts. what do you all want to do and how can I best support you?
Darbakh did you want to attempt to look through your familiars eyes and have him fly over as he pretends to hunt? Or do we think the enemy will know of your owl?

“Nah, those nincompoops won’t suspect anything. Runok looks entirely natural and unassuming.”
As Darbakh speaks, his owl starts to cough up a pellet made from burning pitch and sulfur.

"Perhaps you should let your imp understand languages first. Knowledge is power, and these two people at the crossroads might need to be compelled."

Ritually cast comprehend lang of lars
lars turns invisible I spend action to see through its senses and stay connected while he flys out to where they are and eavesdrops
try to also get sense of what type of jobs (classes ) these two are and describe what I see/hear in real time to party.
“Seems like we have some time to hide. I read a scroll in the library that suggested concealing ourselves about 20’ from the center of the trail could help us surprise them. Perhaps Petnan and Darbakh on one side with me and Ral on the other? The downside is that Ral and I won’t be able to learn easily what Lars learns.”
also are the two figures staying at the cross roads or moving fwd us?
The two figures are staying put. I'll advance this partially based on some PM convo...
Lars and Petnan stagger their approach to the crossroads. Map activated.. https://www.dndbeyond.com/games/5350102
Petnan sends Lars ahead to the limit of their connection and Petnan will need to roll a perception check with advantage and boosts if provided.

OOC - Based on rolls in the game log...
Petnan has Lars pause near the crossroads and you can only see the two up ahead...Looks like an orc in good armor and an Ogre nearby...The Orc is saying in common, "Pipe down you idgits The boss said they'd be coming this way."
