"Pay 50 gold, and we will let you leave here with your lives, human scum and elf scum. The Icespire orcs rule this mountain now. Take that warning back to the lowlands with you."
OOC - You can make Perception checks if you'd like.
Alianna says in Orcish, "Hail, Icespire Orc! We have no quarrel with you, neither do we have the gold you ask. If you let us through, we shall gladly deliver your message to the folk in Phandalin so they can be prepared to pay your toll when they pass through. Erhm... think of it as an investment in the future." She scrambles to find a good reason for the orcs to let them pass.
Alianna thought she noticed something suspicious about the orc's body language, the way he seemed to be shifting his eyes in a certain direction ... but her fatigue gets the better of her. Just her imagination, she thinks.
"You will not pass through, elf scum. Go back the way you came. This is your final warning."
OOC - Orcs are equal opportunity haters -- they hate both elves and dwarves.
"Well you see, we've come a really long way, up and down and miles and miles and it was really so tiring and to have to go all the way back, it' really not what I want to do with my day..."
OOC: In the middle of this rambling, Alianna wants to surprise the orc she talking to by casting Fire Bolt at it. Will this be allowed?
Farnakees says in Common: "Friend Orc. We humble rat exterminators, caravan guards and sundry holy ones, only wish to pass through here to get paid by the Gnome en Garde Gnomes. We can don't have the gold you require now, but we will have on the way back... What say you we pay you then?"
OOC: Alianna can make a Deception check to fool the orc; if you succeed, you get a surprise round against the orc, then we roll initiative.
OOC: Is Farnakees also trying to fool the orc? You don't have any gold. It's a moot point, anyway; the orc looks puzzled at your words. He clearly doesn't understand Common.
OOC - Those with level1 exhaustion make Perception checks with Disadvantage.

<Aye, but we have to stop these orc-foes on the walls before we rest this day.>
OOC: Here are mine (post #1083)
OOC - Based on your Perception rolls, you see no other orcs.
OOC - Is Alianna the only one who speaks Orcish; if yes, she can make an Insight check as well.
OOC: If Alianna is the only one who speaks Orcish:
Alianna Insight: lower of a) 5- 1=12 or b) 2 -1=3
OOC: I can't put rolls in the spoiler section?
Here's the map --
OOC - We haven't rolled intiative yet; what are you going to say to the orc.
OOC: And here's the music.
watch
OOC: I'll let Alliana negotiate.
OOC: Orcs are the racial enemy of which again - elves or dwarves?
OOC - They're not attacking yet. Anyone want to say something in Orcish?

Rastaris telepathically has Xelote watch the back of the trail and instructed to warn him if there are any orcs lurking behind.

OOC: Yikes!

Deception: 10+1= or 5+1
Initiative: 17+2 or 9+2 (second roll if with disadvantage)
OOC: And this is why Level 1 Exhaustion sucks.
Initiative: 5 - 1 = 16
Initiative: 18 - 1 = 15
Rolling with Disadvantage from the Level 1 Exhaustion
Initiative: 5 + 5 = 22
