Garet easily makes his way back to the others, as he does so he overhears/notices the following.
- They are discussing procuring limbs....apparently an elf arm is desired by their Boss. The woman from Blacksand is adamant it won't be hers.
- He notes the form over the fire is not in fact a large bird but a Bird-Man, a somewhat common tribal group of avians in the region known for raiding.
- The Chaos Beastman is obviously on high alert, peering into the trees opposite Garet...
Garet makes his way back to the clearing and tries to sneak back in on his own companions, practice for if his stealth skills are required for another look at the company in the woods.
It starts well enough but a loud creak of his armour seems to give away his position.
Stealth 28 Disadvantage 11
OOC I did another stealth roll not knowing how many I needed.
On hearing the description of the group by the fire, at first, Tzedaka is ready to go engage them but is persuaded by Enwynn and Garet, "Ok, let us quietly tell oters and decide vos to do."
Banzo squints through the trees ever vigilant for any signals from the scouting party.
"You don't think something happened to them do you?" he asks the rest of the party that is waiting anxiously with him.

"A rightful place awaits you in the Realms Above, in the Land of the Great Light. Come in peace, and live beneath the sun again, where trees and flowers grow."
— The message of Eilistraee to all decent drow.
"Run thy sword across my chains, Silver Lady, that I may join your dance.”
When Garet returns to Enwynn and her and gives the update, Tzedaka will turn toward the rest of the party, trying to shield her light from the party behind her, and will have Enwynn hold her gray cloak open to further provide cover from behind. She will use Light to "light up her hand slightly" (and will dampen the brightness.) Then she will have its color change to Orange/Green, Orange/ Green: (orange- danger stayput,green- all good, we return) She will do this twice, then turn off light.
Tannin quietly says "I suppose, I should of went with them, I can see things further away in more detail, than most people." He says as he watches everything around him in full color at night within 120ft (Perception 20 in the game log I doubt I'll beat a 28 lol but since its afternoon ohwell.)
"Look! There!" Banzo points out the sequence of lights in a hushed whisper. "I think they're on the way back. Let's just wait and see what's what."

— The message of Eilistraee to all decent drow.
"Run thy sword across my chains, Silver Lady, that I may join your dance.”
Enwynn, with numerous glances to Garet and Corwyn to confirm the details of what they saw and to Tzedaka as well, reports "An orc with the build of an acrobat in polished leathers and the cult-mark of Envy's Queen on his forehead. Carries a bandolier of darts and two scimitars on his belt. Sitting at the campfire with him was a heavyset dwarf in whitened splintmail, grey of beard and plaited Mirewater style. Carries a wicked axe."
The elf stops for a moment, in case there are details she has missed, then continues "The third one seems to be the man in charge, for all he gibbers to himself. A human in his fifties by appearance, pale skinned and robed in black and red. He is marked by chaos twice, their left eye now swirling tendrils of darkness and their right arm now an ever-restless limb combining features of a scavenger insect and a squid."
She seems a little paler herself as she describes the fourth foe "Wildman with a big beard clad in homespun woolen robes, both overgrown with many kinds of shelf fungi. Hacking cough and clouds of soapy spores to go with it. Carries a hardwood staff..."
Enwynn moves on to the next foe's description with some haste, as if speaking of the fungal abomination is distasteful to her tongue "A tall knight clad in bone white plate, adorned with skull motifs, including the full visor of their helm. Carried a huge great sword like it was a toothpick and watched the forest in silence. There was also a great beast of chaos that stood like a man on watch over the other flank of the forest. They had whitish-grey tufted fur and goat-like horns, were clad in mail and carried a hooked glaive."
She seems worried as she concludes "The last was an elven woman with dark-shadowed eyes, a look that is not cheap to obtain from the perfumer's shops, clad in similarly expensive clothing with a hovering drinking goblet before her, discussing the meal with the gibbering leader and the acrobatic orc. Could be a mage of some sort, if that goblet isn't an enchanted luxury."
"As much as I would like to ambush them at night while most will be sleeping and half without armor I'm afraid that's a luxury we can't afford. I feel once their lunch break is over they will be on the move again and I don't want them ravaging Anvil or any other village for that matter."
Banzo rubs his pointer finger and thumb back and forth over either side of his chin a few times.
"Let's try to lure them into a kill box of sorts and get off an ambush. The combination of surprise and poison will give us the momentum at the start of the fight. Hopefully that will be enough."

"Run thy sword across my chains, Silver Lady, that I may join your dance.”
"Which of us, and how many, should act as bait to lure them into the ambush?"
Banzo gives a serious look to each member of the party.

Enwynn looks pensive, then smiles and says "If we're luring them down a snare path to catch them off guard, then where do we lead them? I ask because I can ask the flora to help keep them from stepping off the path for a bowshot's length if need be. Those being the rabbits to chase run into a briar patch with only one path to follow."
She adds "Not too many rabbits though, we want them to give chase, not dig in where they are."

(Unless something happens) The search party returns and describes what they found
Tzedaka seems somewhat anxious
”Des people are servants of Zagor”
She looks at the group
”Vhat vill the Cheroes of Chalice do?”
"Tell me, again what these folks looked like?" Tannin asks

The more they talk of this group, the more restless and agitated Tzedaka becomes.
“I don’t yike dem” she says simply.
"As much as I would like to ambush them at night while most will be sleeping and half without armor I'm afraid that's a luxury we can't afford. I feel once their lunch break is over they will be on the move again and I don't want them ravaging Anvil or any other village for that matter."

The afternoon slowly began to wane into evening.....
Garet felt the reason in Banzos plan and nodded in ascent.
"Which of us, and how many, should act as bait to lure them into the ambush?"
Banzo gives a serious look to each member of the party.
Tzedaka steps forward. “I vill go?” She states, "if Cheroes of Chalice wish, or stay back and halp."
Enwynn looks pensive, then smiles and says "If we're luring them down a snare path to catch them off guard, then where do we lead them?
