This team moved forward to the fifth cave. Having passed the fourth cave where Orcs were spotted at the back, it was expect that there would be Orcs in this fifth cave, too. A quick peek around the corner showed that was the case.

It looked like only four Orcs, but there could have been more behind the three stone pillars at the back. It also made it hard to see if there was another exit from the cave, but it didn't seem likely that the Orcs would have holed up in it if the entrance was the only way out.

This cave was unexplored territory as far as the group was concerned--none of them had been in here during the assault.

She looked at Victor expectantly to see if he wanted her to scout ahead.

She got down on her belly and slowly inched forward until she was in position to take a quick peek around the cave entrance.

A-ha! Four, probably more, Orcs were waiting for them at the back of the cave. They were hiding behind the natural cave formations called columns... where the stalactites from the ceiling had dripped for so long onto the stalagmites on the floor that the two had merged.

She used a hand gesture to Victor to signal '4' and then shrugged to indicate there could be more.

After squirming backwards and standing up again, she whispers to the other two:

"I can turn invisible or disguise myself, but I don't have any range spells that might affect them or flush them out."

She'd already cast Mage Armor on herself; that was good for a few hours.

Victor whispers, "Do you speak orc? If not, can you disguise me instead? I might be able to get one or two to follow me outside, so we don't have to fight as many at once."
