Scar grins menacingly, and then promises Obsben to throw him right at the enemies, maybe even throw him instead of the javelin. "This plan should work and if it does not, more things to kill for me. We might want to wait until right before dawn. The orcs might be asleep or drunk and will make it easier to butcher the lot of them."
"Alternatively, they may send out another patrol, possibly through a different exit. If we delay, another village could be destroyed. I suggest we move as soon as it's dark."
As you approach under the cover of darkness you see the glow of a small campfire coming from the mouth of the cave. Two orc guards sit nearby chatting idly. You can see that they are bored and distracted.
How do you guys want to approach this?

When we get to the point that we're approaching the orcs (may be a bit, but getting this typed out now,) Anton will cast Pass Without Trace and will remind folks to stay within 30 feet of him to stay as concealed as possible.
Stealth: 22
I'll fire that up now.
Anton also has a few ball bearings in his hand, ready to toss them in such a way as to draw the orcs attention away if a distraction is needed.
He whispers to the group: "We need to keep them from calling out to the others. If we don't want to sneak up and cut their throats, I can silence the area, but that'll be the end of my tricks until we take a breather. Let me know."
(OOC: Can't wait till level 6. Then I can teleport right behind them and attack with advantage. Gonna be fun!)
Obsben nodded along up until the question about silence. After thumbing his chin and humming softly to himself, the halfling settled on firm headshake "no" in answer. "Only in emergency. Have faith."It is all he dares to whisper to the group, and even after that much he clamps a hand over his mouth as if having spoken to loud. Unable to see anything, or if able, not very much, he hangs on Scar's back waiting for the inevitable launching into the thick of things.

That attack happened while Anton was looking at Obs telling him not to cast silence. In the confusion it goes uncast for the moment. Anton moves in to attack any orc who didn't die instantly.
Stick: Attack: 18 Damage: 5
Kick: Attack: 17 Damage: 8

Oops, I posted that before I checked the distance. I can't cover that without spending ki, so move to F5 and throw a shuriken instead. Same attack roll as the first one. The damage would be the same as the 2nd one, or you can take the one from the first one or you can take this...whatever. 8
There wouldn't have been a second attack though, sorry.
No blessing. Cannot see, Senior. Aside from throwing out the occasional Bardic inspiration, until things get loud, Obsben is just tagging along quietly for now.
Also, Jonpawl/Scar, you should have advantage from attacking unseen? DM Can correct me on that one tho'. If not, you still got a Bardic Inspiration already.
To Bierp: If the shuriken(Dart?) has the 'light' property, you could throw a second as your off-hand.

Cass takes all this action as “the word” and aims his hand crossbow at the furthest enemy. He’s found with his time with crossbows he’s grown quite accustom and especially has found out he can use this smaller version more quickly and fires a second shot.
Attack: 13 Damage: 15

Through a concerted effort, you manage to over take the two guards quickly and quietly. A few heartbeats pass pregnant with tension that slowly fades as it becomes clear that no one has noticed you.
(As a note, the arrow slits are actually 15 feet above the floor where you are standing.)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Anton quickly goes through the orc's gear, looking for keys, passes, flying carpets, whatever.
Perception: 18
Investigation: 8
He then attempts to prop up the bodies so that at a glance (through the arrow slits, for example) it appears that the guards are still standing their post. Rope and pitons can be used if needed, but it needs to be quick.
Geth waves his hands toward the bodies and creates an illusion of a conversation between one guard and another, consisting of one of the orcs saying some basic phrases in common and the other orc repeating them back haltingly, with some basic orc phrases mixed in, based on what he was able to overhear before they died.
"What kind of meat do you have for sale?"
"Where is the latrine?"
"Please bring me a mug of your strongest ale."
"Your tusks are looking beautiful this morning."
"What do you mean you don't think I'm a real wizard?"
Geth also turns himself into one of the guards, and once he gets the ok from the others in the party, starts making his way around the corner to see whether he can find the other side of the arrow slits (he also has comprehend languages up, which he ritual cast at the end of the rest; lasts an hour).
Obsben nods, even if he wasn't certain of it being the right direction. "Aye. Until it gets loud or lighter. Can't see for shit, I do dare say. And I rather not bungle into one of ya or off the steps try'na keep up with you long leggers." He whispers back to Scar. "But if I start to feel heavy on ya, ya let me know."

Once we saw the fire from far away i would have sugested following setup:
Anton Silence on E6(20 feet radius afaik)
Scar javelins
Cassius handcrossbow
Bhurarlea longbow
Geth crossbow
Obsben inspiration/blessing
Cass has his hand crossbow out and whispers “just give me the word”
Gash - Lvl14 Goblin Wizard - The High Court of the Aasimar Queen
So my longbow Attack: 22 Damage: 6 Sneakattack: 5
After that i use my mvs and bonus action dash to move to I 7. With my free hand i will draw my rapier while running.
Scar will ready a Javelin and throw it at the whichever Orc is left alive and then while still carrying Obsben will move as far forward as he can.
Javelin Attack: Attack: 14 Damage: 7
Surprise Attack Damage: 4
That attack happened while Anton was looking at Obs telling him not to cast silence. In the confusion it goes uncast for the moment. Anton moves in to attack any orc who didn't die instantly.
Stick: Attack: 18 Damage: 5

Scar will retrieve his javelin and wait for Geth to signal to move forward once more. Whispering to Obsben, "Do you still want me to carry you?"
Obsben nods, even if he wasn't certain of it being the right direction. "Aye. Until it gets loud or lighter. Can't see for shit, I do dare say. And I rather not bungle into one of ya or off the steps try'na keep up with you long leggers." He whispers back to Scar. "But if I start to feel heavy on ya, ya let me know."
