((You don't have visual on it, but know if they are keeping to their pattern, one should be crossing from south to west, and another from west to south in the next little bit, so yes.))

(OOC - all good man. There was a few ideas thrown around and I don't know if we'd definitively narrowed down on one.)
Morn sees Samael ready his crossbow, and nods his head in the direction of the closest frog they can see - Ready? Morn moves forward a little closer, if Samael nods back, and mutters "Pruina" as he forms the arcane gestures to cast Frostbite on the closest frog (Con Save DC 13 or 5 cold damage and it has disadvantage on it's next attack).
((If you allow, I would position Trinjya a bit closer to the target since she is used to get into meele. Also, it seems like all of us are preparing to strike the thing at the same time. Do we get a round of attacks outside of initiative?))
((I'll take a stealth roll to get closer without being spotted, and no free round, but if you surprise it, they won't get to do anything until their turn comes up.))

((Hm the group is already taking battle actions and I think sneaking closer for one round wouldn't do much good))
Trinjya will then use her Bonus action for mantle of majesty (5 temp hp to everybody in the group, this time Horatio doesn't get it because he has false lide anyways right).
Then she will cast Vicious Mockery on the closest frog creature ((only if you would say that it can be cast silent enough to not immediately alert the whole camp, Dc 14 wis save for 2 damage))
Trinjya goes all 'scary awesome' and you all feel a bit bolstered.
((You don't have visual on a patrol at the moment, but from watching a bit, you know that you will as they come in range. Since you just need to see it, you'd be able to hold and cast. As far as silent... you would need to call out loud enough for the target to hear, but not project beyond that to where others might here. Let's have a Performance roll with advantage to project just enough?))
Sirq does likewise, readying a spell to cast, as Samael gets their crossbow ready.
The three of you spread out and position yourselves to be able to get a visual on the frog approaching from the right, and don't have to wait long as they step into view.
((WIS Save: 5))
Sirq's Attack: 23 Damage: 4
They wither under the barrage of insults, grasping spectral hands, and then a crossbow bolt to the head, and drop to the ground.
((Trinjya's taunt is expertly done, and she's confident that her call didn't carry much past its intended victim. You all know that the patrol crossing from left to right would be due to cross your position in less than a minute, though the body may be visible sooner than that. Morn, still moving to where you'd have view of that approaching patrol and prepping some cold? Horatio, your associate cannot reach another frog to attack this turn, so would go invisible with his action. Anything you'd like to do?))

Trinjya would try to hide the corps and then hide herself in a place that offers a clear view of the path Trinjya would expect the patrol to take. Then she would prepare to throw her dagger as soon as the creature is in range and view of all the group members.
((What kind of checks do you need for all of that))
((Trin will come up again before the patrols move, but the body is 50 ft away, so you'd need to dash to reach it, and only have limited movement left to shift it. You'd not be able to do so stealthily, so you'd be trusting to being out of LoS of the approaching patrol to avoid being seen. I'd take a Perception check as you glance to the northwest and see if the patrol is in sight, and pending the outcome of that, take an Athletics to move the body, and with a firm success, would say you're able to pull it back 10 ft into cover.))

((Alright, I did not get how mich sooner the body will be visible to the other guard and that's a bit to many ifs. ))
Trinjya will then move to those bushes to the north east of the group, which should be within 20feet of her and 30 feet from the body and she should still have cover blockig sight of the northern frog (still to far to move Stealthily I guess? The assumption of cover depends of course on the vegetation) Then she will cast [Tooltip Not Found] to cover the body with an Illusion of "dense vegetation".(A little bush in a patch of high grass, she will try her best to make it look similar to plant she has seen around here).
Then she will cower down and wait. (She will hide as best as she can with her next action . Stealth roll for that: 25)
((Yes, it is a lot of ifs! You're advancing on an out of sight village, with out of sight patrols, and really mostly have what Horatio has relayed to you to go on. You'd be able to move east and a bit north and get good visual on the downed frog hand have a peek through the brush at where the one should be approaching from the north. Give me a d20 roll for luck.))

Samael is with one of the two parties, and readies his crossbow since that Can be less visible. magic bolts tend to be noticeable)
((Two parties? Are you splitting up to try to take both patrols that will be approaching your position?))

"One down, next target." Samael whispers
