Blaught also gets close enough to recieve whatever enchantment they may cast, then moves ahead, stealthly so as not to gain the attention of the elven airborne scouts. He then keeps watch of the elven force from a different perspective then the other scout and only goes back to report any behavior that deviates from the one they had been displaying earlier.

Wekerak
Wekerak and Frostbite watched the scene that was playing out below, all the while moving forward (having left traces that any Gobbie Scout worth his nosering could follow down). He was about a quarter of a mile away now, maybe less.
A Hobgoblin had run off north, discarding most of his gear(but for his sword), running for the Keep most likely.Stupid Biglegs,always lording it over Gobbies, but where was his Mount?
The Hummie Cap'n had moved his troops (such as they were) to a small group of hills east and got stuck-in, the Hobbies radying their boys. What idiots...there were far too many elves.
The Elves had noted this and were reacting. An Owl rider landed close by and an Elf Officer conferred with him. The Owl Rider took off once again,North...So much for the stupid Hobbie About half of the Elves headed for the hills, while the other half stayed put,as if they expected trouble. Several looked right in Wekerak's direction, as if they knew that there were enemy troops that way...Then, they started right for him at a trot.
*********************************************************
Bargo,Durgo and the rest lumbered along, while Blaught moved ahead of them.
Blaught frowned. Wekerak had moved. Maybe something happen to him...Hmm...best to investigate.
Blaught had picked up Wekerak's trail and was moving down through the rocky terrain,following it.There were elves advancing towards the crest of the hill that Blaught was upon, though they hadn't seen him, he thought.
Moving back, Blaught told of the situation, and Forlash cast his Invisibility Sphere.
Upon the hill above, Bargo crested, Tsu'Tsoka right beside.Durgo,Kurg and Forlash right behnd...the ELves wouldn't know what hit them.
Below
Wekerak saw the elves getting closer, though he was hidden in the rocks...Eqsy to come at them from behind. They seemed to be heading back and over, trying to attack the Ogres and the rest, Poor elfies...

So the elves had purposely split themselves. A mistake, and it would cost them their stupid heads! Durgo planned, he loved to plan for battle. Loved strategies being made on-the-fly. Sitting around a tent and talking over pictures was dumb. Battle changed everything. Like now...
"Need to do dis fast. Durgo and Bargo wait for dem to get up hill, den cut dem down. Uders try to kill dem's shayman first," he looks at Forlash and is at a loss, unable to comprehend what it is wizards do, "Eh...dat work."
Durgo reaches back and pulls the cord that binds the storm giant's massive axe across his back- so long the hilt still drags the ground. It falls into his waiting grasp and in one mighty motion he swings it back around his body and into both meaty hands. Not very aerodynamic but Durgo doesn't know words that big. He would have a surprise of his own waiting for the first elf to come over the rise- if Bargo didn't beat him to it.
OOC: Ever seen Ninja Scroll?
Ranged attack bonus is +9 before any other modifiers. Not sure how many there are in this situation, or what damage to list (+10 to damage from STR at least) Throwing it sideways -not overhead- so it's more like a lawnmower.

Captain, I may have another surprise for these elfies...will try to catch them, but please try to stay away from where they are caught as this could trap you too...
Forlash pulls out another carefully horded scroll and looks for a good group of sneaky elves to unleash it on.
OOC: when Forlash can catch a goodly number of elves he will cast Evards Black Tentacles...(20' radius...+16 Grapple check 1d6+4 dam/rnd 8 rounds...)

OoC:There may have been some confusion. there are 25 or so Elves moving up the hillside, and they are movingfast. a half dozen of these are the elves armed with the greatswords, the rest are legionarres,with a few officers and one elf in blue robes, a Priest of Mage,most likely(maybe a Monk).
Wekerak can Snipe them as they go by, though that may draw their fire.
There are 15 or so (4 being the greatsword wielding elves), 2 that look ranking and the rst troopers Charging at Vespazian's band.The Hobgoblins have 2 rounds of archery before the Elves get there.
Tsu'Tsoka and Blaught could reach Vespazian quickly, or they could sneak around and flank the elves charging up the hill.
i will remove this map as things get closer. Assume that each 'E' is 5 elves, the 'H' is the 6 hobs, the O are the 3 Ogres and the PCs are each closer than the map suggests (the scaner sort of makes me post blind, so that I can't be EXACT.

Blaught, seeing an opertunity to flank the elves that are heading up the rise, and only hoping that he does not get caught in whatever surprise Forlash has instore for them. Allowing Schnot to guide Growlith with his knees, he pulls out his nasty spiked chain and starts to circle around the boulders to come up against their rear.
