Grigor will continue along in his place in the marching order. He prepares himself for combat, and will engage if he is attacked or sees a confrontation begin, but he will not initiate a fight without more information.
Weapons at the ready and moving carefully, party proceeds with caution. Wick attempts to sneak (while on horseback) up to the boulder and see if he can gain a better angle on the speaker - this, as it happens, grants the Elven ranger a slight advantage of height which allows him to just barely see over the crest of the boulder, though not by much. Warren watches Wick closely for additional signs of danger. Griffen, having dismounted, moves ahead on foot near to Wick, though he pauses to gesture at the remaining party to dismount and tie up the ponies. Remdesivir, seeing this gesture, dismounts and ties his pony's reigns to a nearby tree. Grigor, his scimitar at the ready, continues to ride ahead, coming up short behind Warren and his mount, who are stationary. Caldath, having already dismounted, has attempted to follow Griffen, though rearward position in the procession and shorter legs only allow him to get as far as squeezing past Warren's pony by the time he notices Griffen has stopped near Wick. Raja, having ridden up near Remdesivir, pauses to grant the fighter a blessing for stealth before attempting to stealthily ride onward - though he, too, finds himself blocked by Warren and now Caldath on the narrow path.
As of yet, no one can see the speaker, who has continued to grumble - apparently to himself - about how freshly roasted human would taste right about now...
Remdesivir, with his sword in hand, heads towards the front of the party. He doesn't wish to give away the party's position, but wants to be ready to charge into the fray should the encounter turn hostile.
Griffen again motions for everyone to dismount and tie the horses (this includes wick who is looking back). Then attempts to put some distance on Wicks back so he can cover it and also eye the other side of the road.
Raja and Caldath grasp what Wick was attempting to communicate [OOC: see PMs] but, to the rest of the group, the gesture either went unseen or passed without comprehension.
As of now, the unseen speaker still appears unaware of the party's presence.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Moving his sword to his shield hand and drawing a hand axe, Caldath is going to attempt to stealth up to behind the target, readying his action for if he is noticed.
Stealth attempt: 14
Readied action, if noticed, Caldath will throw the axe at the target.
Warren glances around at the others' attempts at caution before sighing impatiently. With his sword at the ready, he boldly strides around the boulder to address the unseen grumbler.
"I hear someone around here is looking for a human. Care to explain why?"

Wick will continue his intended action, first to with the sneak attempt (roll of 7 from earlier) if he is attacked by the ogre he will defend himself.
Caldath will fall in as close to Grigor as possible.
*ooc Griffen is amending his action slightly. See below for official action.
Griffen continues down the road doing his best to keep an eye on the rock in question and watch for an ambush from elsewhere.
He motions for the group behind him to dismount and tie up the ponies.
