After pushing aside the orc body, Rallyn manages to staunch Charlotte's bleeding but she's out cold.
The orc is surprisingly light, considering how tough he seemed. He's wearing studded leather armor of orcish design. The black leather is covered in patterns of gray and brown and the studs of metal are coated in some greasy black tar.
Likewise the bow is a dark wood and has stained horn reinforcing it, especially at the nocks. The string has some sort of fur cushion near the nocks, as if to mute the sound of it's twang.

"Ellie, stay with Charlotte a moment, I'll be back in a second to help carry her back to near the underwater cave. We can't bring her in like this, but maybe I can bring Sildarin or Victor out..."
Rallyn loops his hands under the heels of the dead orc and stands, elevating his legs. He then shuffles himself towards the grove pond.
After stripping of him of the bow and armor and any valuables or objects which look like they might come in handy later, Rallyn drags the body into the pond.
Need some way to get him to sink... Last thing we need is more rovers to see a downed ally. Got it!
Rallyn begins loading stones into the orc's clothes in every way he can find. While nosing around in an orc's vest and loin cloth isn't pleasant, the water splashing up against the arrow in his chest serves as ample reminder that there are worse things that could happen if they leave too many traces.

Charlotte, Ellie, & Rallyn
Ellie moves the now-stabilized Charlotte under a tree.
Rallyn removes the bow and armor from the orc, and finds exactly fifteen silver pieces again, as well as a masterwork shortsword the creature never drew. It's very light and covered in harsh orcish runes.
The body sinks soon after having stones stuffed into it's pockets and tucked into it's sleeves.
Orcs wear kilts generally in the Empire.

Rallyn comes back, and does his best to kick signs of the scuffle into the overgrown hedges then sets himself down next to Ellie and Charlotte.
"I'll go find the others in a moment. Give me a minute to catch my breath."
Rallyn notices that he's stopped bleeding and lays his head against the tree for a moment and just breathes evenly going through mental exercises.
On the mindscape, none of this has happened. I could still be bored sitting my watch on the courtyard. Ellie could still be quietly studying and smiling at Kith's jokes. And Charlotte wouldn't be near death with two orcish arrows sticking out of her... Damn it.
