Tagging along rather awkwardly, cid takes care to make sure our half-orc prisoner is greeted immediately the moment he wakes, if he so 'chooses' to.

I look around for any sign of recent human passage. "Since we didn't find any bodies, we have to assume some of the other pirates may well be on this island. Meanwhile, we need food and shelter."
What time of day is it? Can we tell? How long until nightfall?
"East sounds as good as any" (assuming I find no footprints). let's keep moving.

It is early afternoon. It is five hours before nightfall.
You find no footprints or any signs of human passage.
You strike off to the east.
After 20 minutes, as you're walking along in the depression between two larger hills, you become aware of a noise - a very faint noise, like grunting voices and steel clanging on steel, barely audible over the noise of the rain and wind. It seems to be coming from your left, beyond the hill to your left.

"I'll check it out. But I don't know how to use that crossbow well enough. You take cover behind a tree & cover me if I come high-tailing it back over the hill. You stay alert too, big boy. I must admit we need to check it out. I'd almost be happy to even see orcs at this point. At least they'd have some food & weapons we might be able to snag."
I'll climb the hill slowly & cautiously using my move silently & hide. I've got my club grasped w/both hands & my dagger at my belt.

There are plenly of rocks to hide behind, you all think you are hidden
Reinert: You scramble up over the rocks on the hill. When you reach the top you see(only Reinert is in a position to see this):
Below you, there's a ravine separating this line of hills from the next ridge. And there's a battle going on down there.
It looks like a dozen goblens and half a dozen orcs going at it pretty fiercely. The goblins are fighting with bows and spears, the orcs have axes and polearms, and one of them appears to have armor, too. Most of the fighters don't have any sort of armor, but all of them have cloaks.

I'll step down out of sight of the combatants, & wave at the rest of the party to join me at the top of the hill. I think we should attack the survivors of that battle if feasible & I'll tell my comrades that if & when they arrive.

I move up the slope very nervously, but upon arriving, I agree (mostly) with Reinert's plan:
"We should attack the survivors ... if we think we are strong enough to defeat them." I frown, then add, "We should try to take one alive for questioning - he should know more about the island than us. Does anyone speak Goblin? I speak Orc."
