Seeing that the confrontation was over, and agreeing with Manzanita that they should put some distance between themselves and the orcs, Dunathar continues onward.
Dunathar leads the party off the Trade Road towards the forests to the northwest. The gently rolling hills and dales are covered with wild, tall grass. Dunathar keeps the party in the valleys to minimize their visibility while he scouts ahead, sometimes heading up the slopes to get a better look around.
As you move further off the road Bert studies the land for tracks. He finds several tracks of small game animals, but other then that the land is relatively untouched, leading him to think that this part of the trip should be pretty safe.
But the group had only travelled a couple miles past Rangark's encampment when Dunathar raises his hand, stopping the party.
Dunathar was scouting around a hill when he spots another group of humanoids on horses rounding a hill nearby. They are humans and half-orcs, mostly wearing studded leather with bows and axes. They had not spotted Dunathar, but they are heading his way.
There are two humans in front, wearing studded leather with bows and swords. Behind them is a half-orc in scalemail, with bow and axe, followed by a human in robes with a staff, and a human in scalemail and morning star. Bringing up the rear are three half-orcs in studded leather with bows and axes. All are mounted on light horses.
They are moving at a gallop, heading in the general direction of the party. Dunathar can see that in only a few seconds, both sides will come upon each other. They are currently 160 feet to the west of Dunathar. The rest of the party is 100 feet to the southeast of Dunathar, and is not aware of the horsemen yet.
Dunathar has a surprise round.
