I would say we tie up the animals to the fence right where the trial comes up along the fence line.  From there we'd move forward a bit, stopping a bit before the turn to the left towards the pond.

"I feel like drawing them out might awaken those that are sleeping," Meria says. "Zephyros, was there any sign of orcs in the basement? Perhaps there's a way to sneak in that way to surprise them?"  She then looks over at Lyra. "Maybe making the ground tremble would get those on the lower floor out without awakening any above?"  She considers a moment, "That's probably our best bet." 

Zephyros helps tie up the cow near the main road before moving to the northern edge of the eastern cornfield where he can see the farmhouse. 

"My hawk made no mention of a basement. Only the entrance to a cellar on the back side of the building. If what Lyra says is accurate, the orcs may be moving to the cellar soon to kill someone or to remove someone already dead. I'm ready to move. Let's move into the cellar and ambush whatever orcs come in. They won't be expecting a fight there. Gareth and Eldrin can wait out here and ambush them from behind when they flee or when reinforcements arrive."

Ironheart then moves with purpose around the house without further discussion to enact his plan. He doesn't look back to see if Lyra and Meira are following, but he hopes they will.  Moving to the far side of the house, the armored warrior opens the cellar door and enters with trident at the ready. 

Stealth Nat 1+2=3 =(

Meira does follow Zephyros, hoping to enact his plan and ambush orcs coming to the cellar.  (Stealth: 19; Note - I think Lyra can give us Advantage on the roll, so that will help! I will wait though to re-roll until we confirm.)
