Ian joins Glyn at the wall, and prepares his crossbow then looks for a loose rock on the ground. He then throws it in a big arc as far as he can opposite him to see if that causes any reaction.
HDP, holding his nose, will also go up with Ian and Glyn. He whispers to Ian, asking if he can continue to borrow the hand crossbow he used during the last fight. Ian agrees and also hands him some more bolts (I have adjusted the character sheets. Ian is going to give one of his new hand crossbows to HDP) HDP loads his hand crossbow, and waits to see if there is a reaction from Ian's rock.
Also, before Ian throws the rock, he will turn back and signal Rock and Grux to move forward.
Since we're now attempting to get Rock and Gruxx to move forward ("before Ian throws the rock"), let's go ahead and have Ian roll an athletics check while we're waiting.
Gruxx and Rock quietly join the other three, and Ian picks up and tosses a rock over the wall. Unfortunately, because he is crouched down, he tosses the rock much more straight up than he intended. It only travels about 10 feet past the wall, landing with a thud in the dirt on their side of the tent. The four zombies Glyn saw amble toward the sound, and a fifth comes around the other side of the tent to join them. They moan quietly and sway as they try to understand what it was they heard.
This shows you more than what you can actually see, but here's where you are: (The rock landed where the orange zombie is.)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Glynquinal finishes casting his spell and releases the arcane energy as the rock comes to a stop in front of them. Aiming the arcane energy at the Zombie at K7 Glynquinal cast Chromatic Orb, and soeaks the arcane word for Thunder.
Gruxx lobs his rock south over the wall as well, sending it a little more forward than up. The rock, not thrown with any lethal force, hits the yellow zombie in the head. At the same time, Glynquinal, who had peeked over the wall to follow the rock's progress, releases his spell. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately), due to very little practice, and the rock unexpectedly hitting one of the zombies in the head, Glyn's spell does not actually hit the zombie, but it does make a mighty bang. All of the zombies begin moaning loudly and shambling around, still unaware of what, exactly, is going on.
The party hears a voice call from inside the tent. "What's going on out there? Did I just hear thunder?" A short while later, the party sees a stout, red-robed figure with sallow skin, a shaved scalp, and a black tattoo on his forehead come around the outside of the tent to look in the direction of the gathered zombies. "What is going on?" he repeats.
Herr Doktor responds "We have no idea if he is hostile towards strangers...Best if I go in alone, and you all can watch my back. I will go back a bit, and play my music as I walk into thier camp, as if I am a lost wanderer. If that red-robed figure wants to talk, then I shall talk and give you the all clear sign. however, if he wants to attack me, I trust the 4 of you to prevent my (clears his throat) imminent demise..."
HDP will make his way back the way they came, then off to the left giving the wall a wide berth, then he plays and sings music as he makes his way to and hopefully through the main entrance (on the left of the map).

"Come Rock. We are needed" says Gruxx.
Gruxx will try to quietly move to Ian's position.
Stealth: 17
Ian athletics check (which he is not very athletic...): 9
Rock will try to move up quietly
Most likely there will be the sounds of a tank come up the hill
Stealth 17
OOC: Good job, Rock! Not so good, Ian.

What do you want to do now?
Glynquinal to the rest of the party, " Someone throw another rock...farther out this time."
Gruxx will look for a Rock and throw it farther out as requested.
Athletics: 17
Glynquinal finishes casting his spell and releases the arcane energy as the rock comes to a stop in front of them. Aiming the arcane energy at the Zombie at K7 Glynquinal cast Chromatic Orb, and soeaks the arcane word for Thunder.
Chromatic Orb 5
Chromatic Orb Damage 15
Gruxx, where are you aiming?
Based on what Gruxx can probably see H,9.

Does the party do anything?
Glunquinal nudges tbe good Herr Doktor, "Herr Doktor...this looks like your smooth words are needed."
Herr Doktor responds "We have no idea if he is hostile towards strangers...Best if I go in alone, and you all can watch my back.

Ian readies his crossbow.
Gruxx starts to sweat as he grips his glaive dreading the worst.
Glynquinal nocks a bolt into the readied crossbow and watches with keen interest.
As HDP begins backtracking, the bald man starts looking around. Everyone roll stealth DC6.
Ian Stealth: 10
