"If we are going the sneaking route, there are two options that I can think of. One is to try to climb the ridge and not use the steps. Its dangerous without climbing gear and more so if we aren't hammering in pitions. We could try sneaking up the ledge but also risky as they have the high ground and we could only fight single file," Bugs says while trying to organize his thoughts.
"Is there a way to lure them down ya think? Disguise someone as an orc, shout up that they got some ale and need help carrying it up and then take out when they come down?"
Ramious' chews on a bit of something absently while they scheme. He pulls a bit out of his mouth and looks at it with a sour expression, but then pops it back into his mouth and keeps chewing. Eventually he spits it out and grabs another piece of dried something from his rations. His eyes brighten with Bugs idea, "I can create fake moving illusions. I could have like, an innocent human with like a big ham, or two chickens in his arms, or something, come round the corner, look up, see 'em, jump with fright, and then run back. It can't make any noise though. And I don't think dressin like orcs will fool em. Guards are gunna know its a strange orc they never seen before....Also, if we want someone to get behind em...i suppose I could...." he points backwards to his wings with his thumb, "....I could fly in from above and land behind him to cut off their escape."

"Wings, how could I forget... ha. Well with that, could you fly up around the side and tie off a knotted rope for us to climb up? If not I like the distraction idea." Bugs responds.
"I've got plenty of rope and spare pitons to offer for a climb if needed." Alyssa would offer in almost a whisper. She'd look over to Bernard, "Did you see anything I could set ablaze from range? It could distract them?"
"Well the last climb didn't go too badly." Leon puts in. "Why not give it a try again?" He frowns though. "I no longer have my featherfall spell ready though, so let me know if you feel it is needed or not."
“Hmm. Sounds like comin down on top of em won’t work. Someone’s gunna kick some pebbles on em and then we’ll be in trouble. Let’s try that man with chicken idea!”

"Why not both? A few to distract down here while the others move up and around?" Bugs responded. "I believe someone once said 'division concurs'... or some such."
Ramious looks at him, "Sure, I'll try anything twice. Ok, who's climbing, I suppose lucky wing guy is one. Who's comin with me? Then the other two can come from down here?"

Ramious and Bugs head for the climbing, Ramious giving Bugs a hand with flight as they try to get above/behind the guards and into a position to drop on them, without alerting them. Leon and Alyssa meanwhile have the task of trying to distract / draw the guards, but without Ramious' illusion, since he's not within 30 feet. What should we roll?
The group coming from the path can roll Stealth or describe the distraction/behavior the moment they come within 60ft. For the climbing group - Ramious can fly, Bernard needs to some Athletic/Acrobatic checks (whatever he prefers, I insist one ability is worth another in climbing) with DC 14 and advantage because of help.
"Two bestial humanoids in hide armor" at closer distance turned to be just very unkempt and quite bit orcs. They were paying much less attention to the path or surroundings, than any guards are supposed to, spending time grumbling in the Orc language.
"I must say i do not understand why Ramious believed pretending to carry food around would be useful in this situation." Leon comments as they start their way up the road. "Is it some material-world thing that I am not yet aware of? Another of your strange customs?"
When he gets closer he would cast minor illusion to make an image of a leg of pork and a cooked chicken.
(DM, not sure how to work this. Can he cast the illusions so they move with him and it looks as if he is carrying them?)
(I think if you create an illusion on a moving object, it should move with it. In our case the object is your hands. When they move - the illusion moves)
So, you and Alyssa are coming openly, just walking at the orcs? At 60ft you will be noticed by them.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Bernard took a moment and did some stretches to limber up until Ramious is able to fly up and secure the rope. Once he's done that, Bernard will begin to make his ascents up the rope.
"What material realm creature would enjoy some good pork or chicken?" Leon says in a loud voice as he gets to where he believes he will be spotted. "Oh who would ever want to have such as the things that I am bringing forth here..." He is not really even trying to pretend at being subtle about it. "If only we had someone to share our bounty with..."
From his perch on a small cliff out cropping Ramious stares, mouth open, at Leon's attempt at theater. He's forgotten for the moment about the guards, and Bernard, and their mission, and is just....agape with bewilderment at the horrific display of terrible subterfuge and generally just strange use of language and words. Some small part of him would like to partake in the bounty despite him knowing it's all a terrible ruse......his mouth waters slightly.
Alyssa will lift her finger up to say something, but would honestly be stumped. She didn't realize that Leon honestly didn't understand what Ramious meant until it was too late. He was already hootin' and hollering at the orcs now. The elf will palm her face for a moment before shrugging it off. Guess we're winging it...
As they approached closer and Leon got louder, Alyssa would try to find a way she could contribute to the rouse. As a female, she could seem out of place. Unless... "Think they'd want a 'barmaid' too?" She'd grimace as she'd make the suggestion, not excited to make herself look like bait, but would, should it prove helpful.
