[QUOTE="covaithe, post: 4596851, member: 46559"] The three rangers move through the rubble quietly, circling the tavern and climbing up nearby buildings to get a look through the upper floor's windows. As far as they can tell, they are not spotted by the building's occupants. Balth manages to get a peek through a knothole in one of the boards covering the ground floor windows. Returning, the scouts report. Inside the tavern, orcs are seated at scattered tables. They are listening to Hoofchew, who is speaking from behind the bar, making theatrical gestures over what appear to be the remains of some small... animal, hopefully. Hoofchew is flanked by two large, well-equipped orcs; clearly guards. On the second floor there are a few lookouts, one well-equipped like the guards below, but they appear to be paying more attention to Hoofchew than to the surrounding streets.
