Folsorm is able to make his way carefully to a clearing ringed by large boulders that were probably moved into place by glaciers eons ago. True to Lyoko's word, the ogres are in the process of butchering and roasting some sort of four legged animal. They are using battleaxes as cleavers, with two working the meat and one placing the meat on a spit. They seem very distracted.
Approaching under cover of night, the moon and firelight illuminate any branches or dry leaves which might have give any of you away. Your extra caution may have been unnecessary: the ogres appear to be feasting on mushrooms in addition to bear meat. It is immediately apparent to Folsorm and anyone else with Nature, Medicine, or Survival proficiency that the ogres are eating copious amounts of "dreamcap" mushrooms, which have highly hallucinogenic, nearly narcotic effects. Indeed, a moment's observation reveals that the ogre putting meat on the spit is swaying absently. One of the ogres butchering the meat absent mindedly has cleaved his own finger by accident but now started to munch on it in a daze.
The ogres, stupid brutes that they are, have ingested mushrooms giving them the poisoned condition!
Seizing on the opportunity, Lyoko moves toward the one that cleaved his finger and intends to attack it with his glaive (when the DM says it's appropriate).
Stoopeed wishes to approach one of the ogres as if he's floating (waving both his arms with his axes) and says "Hahaha! Dude! You're hallucinating! Look at me! I'm a delicious human who floats in front of you. You can eat me if you want, I'm reeeeaally tasty. But I'm a little dry. Maybe a little sauce? Oh! Look up there! You're in luck! Sauce is about to rain from that magic cloudddd!"
If the ogre looks up, Stoopeed will hack at his throat. Waiting for OK to do so, and to know if I must roll deception, and if it's advantage or not since they're tripping.
Lyoko shares that information with the party and suggests they proceed carefully.
Folsorm will use his skills at keeping hidden in the wilds to try to move up closer to the camp to see what he can see.

Forlsorm will go back tell the group what he saw, 3 Ogres, with battleaxes, currently distracted working on dinner.
"Ogres!" Digg exclaims, a bit louder than he expected, and quickly places his hands over his mouth, mumbling, "That's not good."

“SHHHH!!!!” Rhogar whispers a little too loudly and quickly places his hands over his mouth. “Oh poops.”
Lyoko slips loose his glaive, lowers his visor, and nods to let the party know he's ready.
Stoopeed silently agrees, pulling out both his axes.
Digg gulps, clenches his fists around his quarterstaff and reluctantly nods as well.

Do you attempt to move stealthily or go loud?
Folsorm says "While they are distracted, I'd still suggest we proceed with caution, the likely that we get the element of surprise."
Stealth 13
Not sure why I got that error on the dice roll?
Digg does his best to be stealthy like an elf...but he doesn't particularly like elves.

What do you do?
Seizing on the opportunity, Lyoko moves toward the one that cleaved his finger and intends to attack it with his glaive (when the DM says it's appropriate).
Attack: 19 Damage: 11
Sneak attack round for all, assuming you follow Lyoko's lead. Roll initiative!
