Ooc: Marcus and Amanu are inclined to follow the original tracks. Arramor and Theryndil are interested in the blue demon, but have not spoken decisively. I'm going to assume you continue to the northeast.
As the lizardfolk depart to the southeast, Leopard picks up following the tracks. She comments that the larger prints seem to flank the smaller tracks, although staying relatively close. The trail has begun to meander a great deal, and the smaller tracks seem to stop at various trees and bushes.
After passing through a particularly tangled stretch, Marcus and Erenal spot the quarry. They are standing with their backs to the party next to a particularly large tree. There are two ogres wearing hide armor and carrying greatclub and longspear. There is a halfling in an explorer's outfit scribbling something into a small book. And there is a gnome, also in hide armor, standing at the halfling's side.
(Marcus and Erenal may act during the surprise round. The others may post what they wish to say or do once the surprise round is over.)

I will close the distance that separates us from the quarry keeping tot he side of the trail, (drawing my weapon while moving during the surprise round). He will defend himself (and the others with his combat reflexes and attacks of opportunity if the quarry [ogres] intend to rush the rest of the group.
He will wait for Arramor or someone else to negotiate for a peaceful settlement. If the quarry attacks, Marcus will say, "This is the elven navy. Halt, drop your weapons or whatever else is in your hands or this will get ugly."

I forgot to mention that the quarry were forty feet away when spotted. Marcus and Erenal, I'll assume you closed to ten feet (allowing you to avoid reach attacks from the ogres with a five-foot step). Initiative: Marcus - 22, Erenal - 9.
Marcus and Erenal quietly approach the ogres and the little people from behind.
End of surprise round. Initiative: Theryndil - 13, Amanu - 17, Arramor - 8
While Marcus waits for Arramor to speak, Amanu slips into the bushes and begins circling clockwise.
Without turning, the gnome speaks, "Yegor, Zoya, we have company. Morella, my dear, we will resume our search momentarily."
The two ogres turn and squint at the party while gripping their weapons. As Theryndil lifts his bow, the female ogre picks up her longspear. The male ogre glares at Erenal and Marcus as Leopard moves up behind them.
The halfling (a female) looks up from her notes in surprise, notices the new arrivals, then stumbles back a foot or two.
The gnome turns as well. His hands are empty, although something seems to be moving on his armor. "Hmmmm. Several armed warriors. Humans and elfs, even. To what do we owe the pleasure of your company?" he asks, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

Marcus is waiting for a diplomatic resolution (darned 'bring them back alive' deal, ehh) but will continue to follow his previous directions (i.e. attack if attacked or if the ogres look to move through). This includes spells from the gnome - if he begins to cast (based on my interpretation), I would consider the negotiations at an impasse and aggressive negotiations would be required (thrown dagger at the gnome).
OOC: Sorry for the lateness, difficulties IRL.
Arramor will face the hunting directly. His hand resting on his sword, ready to draw it at the first sign of hostility.
"You face the Elvish Navy, Gnome. You are in violation of treaty. We are here to escort you back to your ship. Come peacefully, and no further charges will be laid against you."

The gnome responds, "Of what account are the words of elves and lizards when Verdura itself welcomes me? I will return to the ship in my own time. In the meantime I have samples to collect. Please leave before you trample anything valuable."
