Graxxy nods to Percy.
"I agree Percy. A head on strike would lead to our certain death. Let us watch their movements to try to determine any patterns for separating some from the herd."
Graxxy will watch intently for up to an hour studying the Orc movements and seeing if any other militia arrive.

An hour passes by and Graxxy watches the orc camp intently. There seems to be two orcs that watches the entrance closest to the group intently. As far as Graxxy can tell, they have not spotted them yet. During the hour, the tents seem to empty out and the orcs seem to gather in the center of the camp to eat. Graxxy counted the best he could and managed to spot 19 (not counting the two guarding the entrance) orcs, 10 seem to be males, 8 females and 1 child (young, around 6-10). No other groups have shown up yet during the hour.
keeping his voice low as not to be overheard, gorlok shares his concerns with graxxy.
“looks lik it meh joost beh us. If others were commin surely theyd beh here by now.”
gorlok twirls one of his braids absentmindedly
“we doont hav tha numbers on areside to afford no mistakes, but if weh can kill the two guards without attractin the others, mahbeh weh can sneak in while tha lot o them are gathered in tha center”
Gorlok and Loramir nod in agreement and with their combined actions, release two arrows each at the two orc guards watching the southern entrance.
Loramir's arrows both strike true on the unsuspecting guards, killing him in an instant.
Gorlok's arm goes to pull back the bow on his first shot, at first his motion seems lack, but his training in combat kicks in and straightens the shot to hit the orc. He quickly surges another arrow into the string and launches the arrow. Both arrows strike the orc, killing it where it stands.

With Graxxy's breath held, he looks to see if the other orcs have noticed the guards going down, but they seem unaware of the stealth attacks. For now their view may be blocked by the tents.
Combat is over. Please award 60 xp to each party member.
As the group gets about 15 feet from the dead guards, a male orc walking in the camp steps between tents and spots the group. He looks startled and yells in orcish. Within just an instance. The entire camp seems to be aware and chaos commences.

Percy ponders.
Graxxy nods to Percy.

Ulala offers a healing word to Graxxy before taking advantage of the waiting time to have a short rest under a nearby tree.

Graxxy frowns and whispers.
"This is concerning... Where are the others? Where's the half orc?!"

"I think you're right Dwarf. We must attack now. Elf... How close do you need to be to get a shot off?" asks Graxxy.
