[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 4829087, member: 7006"] The jackal leads the party further into the mountains, and though the pace is slower... it's more surefooted. The elf druid certainly knows her stuff in the wilderness. The five men behind her watch with interest as the animal picks her way up the rocks and boulders, but all stop short when Gala above them suddenly freezes upon a small ridge. They see her ears flatten against the sides of her head, and she then turns to face everyone... letting out a small growl. The other five and the horse all go silent. A few of the group pick their way up through the rocks, then peak though and look down into a small valley beneath them. There they see sitting around a small fire, a band of ten orcs... chomping away on some roasted bird that one of them must have caught. They all are dressed in leathers, and each has a rusted sword or axe on his belt. Their skin is dark green, their hair is matted and dirty, and their raggedy clothes look as though they haven't been touched in years. A good guess would be that this is a small scouting party that has journeyed out further from the tunnels, probably scouting a path for the rest of the ones that are coming up and through. Especialy if they intend on getting to Overlook or Bordrin's Watch from behind. The six of you climb back down beneath the lip of the ridge and discuss your options on getting around or going through this band. [COLOR="DimGray"]Skill Check Three: [I]Diplomacy[/I], [I]Perception[/I], [I]Stealth[/I] [SIZE="1"](Just as an fyi... although Diplomacy is a skill on the list, it doesn't mean it has to be used for a direct conversation with the orcs, if the group would prefer to avoid confrontation altogether.
