Rashana informs you that it is probably another half day to travel around the hills to Wyvern Tor. However, heading around the hills would lead you into a valley and would make it difficult in approaching the camp stealthily.
It is also pointed out that travelling over the hills would be another option, the distance is shorted and the orcs might not suspect anyone approaching from higher ground. This could provide a better advantage point to approaching without being spotted. However, walking up and down the hills could pose some challenges and slow you down.

"Sounds good to me. So your saying that we should do some hill climbing?" Misha says wanting to avoid a frontal assault "Saravena your Idea has merit when we get closer"
Rashana raises an eyebrow, then moves off ahead of Misha, moving stealthily and trying to remain hidden -- being especially cautious each time she crests a hill that might have line of sight with the Tor. If some hills are treeless or have no cover, she would circle around near the top if possible to avoid being highlighted against the sky to the distant Orcs.
"Of course I'm coming....wouldn't miss a chance to kill some filthy Orcs"
Tagret slings his pack over his should and hefts his great axe, nodding in agreement of the plan to take the slower path "Let's take our time and stay hidden until we know how many we face"

"Alright then, we go in quiet, find an ambush point, then try to draw out a few orcs at a time," Saravena gives a nod storing the flasks of oil on her belt before closing up her pack and throwing it over her shoulder. Following the others, she does her best to move as quietly as she can but keeps her crossbow at the ready just in case.

You all make your way across the hills, south of Wyvern Tor. Some of you are clearly better at moving stealthily across such difficult terrain, and you help and guide the others to avoid detection. After, spending many hours climbing and descending the hills, you make it to the hill directly south of the orc camp, just before the sun starts to set.

"Rashana can you do that illusion spell? lurer only a few to this side and the bottom of the hill (He points to the bottom of the hill they just climbed up opposite of the camp). "A few at a time. Don't lure them up hear of course. Keep in touch with me and I'll let you know if its working."
He looks to see how many are in the camp if he can tell. 23 Perception.
Rashana considers the fading light, "With time to meditate, I can grant us both the ability to see in the darkest night."
(( @DM: If Misha plans to scout, then Rashana will cast Pass without Trace on the party as they move into cover while Misha scouts. She will then meditate for an hour (short rest) and cast Darkvision on whoever needs it, rest again, do the same on herself and rest one more time to recover her strength...does that sound reasonable? ))
We're on the hill right now and Misha can see the orc camp so if we can wait till nightfall we can do some ambushing. so darkvision would be good. If brit would allow it could we have that spell cast three or four hours before we get to the crest of the hill. Giving her time to meditate?
That sounds sensible, though we may actually need to take a long rest to avoid exhaustion, not sure? So plan would be: stop 30 minutes out, long rest (near end of long rest cast darkvision), Darkvision immediately after long rest, short rest, PWOT (party approaches, then Misha scouts while Rashana rests again)

"Unexpected we are, so unprepared they will be. Let us use the terrain to our advantage, even if it costs a little time," suggests Rashana.

Misha packs his stuff and starts climbing up the hill towards Tor. He waits for the others "You guys coming?"

Misha says quietly "Night is a good time for me to scout. We should get a rest before we cause mischief" he stays crouched down.
How far is the camp?

Misha stops and thinks on what he's saying "I know the elf can see well at night, and so can I. What about you two?"

(( At the mention of illusion, sorry i somehow missed it ))
"What would you suggest? They cannot move and it only has a short range. Sounds can seem distant, but that which is seen must be close."
Misha says "I'm not sure at the moment"
