The Orcs are still far enough away from you that you could choose to disengage and lead them on a merry chase without combat being initiated, which is why the flexibility, but yes, it does indeed look like combat will be starting in short order based on the parties' decisions.
Meiramoves just enough to get to where she has a good line-of-sight to fire her shortbow. If she can, she picks not the closest target to her, but one towards the middle of the group headed in Garethand Eldrin'sdirection. (Shortbow Attack: 19, Damage: 9 piercing + 7 sneak attack)
She then pulls back a bit, trying to hide just behind the cellar entrance. (Stealth: 23)
