Legend
The party knows something is there. Probably orcs. But only Tranio KNOWS - he saw necklace of ears and humanoids in the fog. The rest of us are blind. Remember that the fog is thick enough that we didn't see across the bridge - most of the party probably doesn't even see Tranio and Dren - we depend on voices to inform us.
No, I totally agree on that point. I'm just curious as to why people are kind of acting like there's no danger. We've been told there are orcs out here somewhere and we should be on our guard. I would think that when something shows up, we should react like it's probably orcs until proven otherwise.
If you were a soldier on the front, and someone shows up in the dark, don't you act like it might be an enemy? I'm not talking about shooting everything that moves, but sending civilians forward or wandering forward yourself while chatting away seems a bit... lax?
It kind of feels like everyone's trying so hard not to metagame, that they're not willing to act like there's a probable threat here.
Anyway, I mean all of this mildly, and not as a big criticism to anyone. Just a friendly discussion.
