Aram frowns at the sight of the smoke rising ahead. "Can you send Razor to look ahead before we come into view of those fires?"

"Aye, these reeds might prove to be a benefit to us, preventing other eyes from seeing our party. " Rajah answers, turning his attention to Razor "Razor, please be careful. I promise after this I will reward you greatly, your help has been invaluable. " Rajah says to his familiar.

After that he'll recite the words to a spell, granting him addition vitality.

The quasit chortles and rubs his hands in expectation of the promised reward, then vanishes.

Girgal peers at the palms and the reeds, looking for any unusual markings. The plants seem normal to him; they are just large specimens of the native plant life here.

He doesn't hear anything unusual above the gentle splashing of the river.

Razor returns and reports "There are camps on both sides of the river. On the left side are about two dozen men, mostly on horses. Some of them are watching the river.

On the other side of the river there are almost as many orcs, mostly sitting around, with big goblins among them but no horses.

Both the men and the orcs have bows."

"Do the men and the orcs appear to be on the same side, or were they watching each other warily, as though in some sort of stalemate?" Nargon questions Razor.
This IS indeed the perfect opportunity to try our ruse."

Bevin keeps silent, just watching and listening intently to everything around him.

Razor replies to Nargon's question "As far as I could tell the men were mainly watching the river. I don't think they're enemies of each other."

"Then, I guess that means that they are ALL enemies of ours!"

 

[renau1g]

"Well at least that's comforting to know." Rajah says with a wry grin "or all allies of ours now." he finishes, with a wink.

"Aram, from our pack, you look most likely the typical desert raider. You should make the introduction. Should anybody come with you?" Girgal asks the tanned human.
