"NO! These orcs have not attacked or threatened us. They have asked only for peaceful passage. You will not harm them." He holds his hand out to the wolf, "Wait, Swift Arrow. Do not attack."

I'm just going to write Swift Arrow, but assume he's saying it in elvish.

If attacked, he will use warding flare as a reaction to impose disadvantage.

The tiefling through clenched teeth says They evil. Orc kill.
We kill. Words are spoken in a language neither one of you know between the tiefling and the gnomes. They ready their spears .

[Prehysterical]

Without looking away from the orcs, Ogrin flicks a hand dismissively at the merchants like a parent sending away a child. "I asked you a question, urk. I expect an answer."

"No! Lower your weapons, merchants. If they are a threat, Ogrin can handle them." He holds his hand out to the wolf, keeping it at bay. "Wait, boy."

The tiefling lowers his spear and the gnomes follow. The tiefling hisses between his teeth. They evil. They kill. We thought you hero.

Ogrin is prepared to stand in the middle of the road until the mountains crumble into pebbles and the stars go out in the sky... but he will have his answer. The stubbornness of dwarves is never to be underestimated.

We flee from the swamp with many others. Lizards attack us until we left. the father said to the dwarf. You let us go, we travel across mountains.

[Prehysterical]

"What. Tribe. Orc." The dwarf practically seethes and hisses in growing impatience, his shoulders and neck tense.

To help make things smoother, Ogrin wants to know if these orcs are from the tribe that attacked Silverpeak.

[gryffydd65]

Black Footed Swamp Orcs. Now let us pass so we can continue. the orc father says looking at his family.

[Prehysterical]

Ogrin stares at the orc for a moment... then moves aside. He hefts the maul over his shoulder. "My grudge is not with your ilk. Off with ya!"

Thank you Stone Eater. We need ogre .He take us through mountains. You see him. The father orc says as he keeps an eye on the merchants and the dwarf. He motions his family passed the others.

[Prehysterical]

Ogrin has a sneaking suspicion that he knows exactly which ogre the orc is referring to. Aloud, he says, "You'll find him down that way. Last I saw him, he had a camp set up by a cave." The omission of the ogre's death comes not from cowardice, but just not wanting to deal with the orc's reaction. He has no grudge against these orcs, but he does not feel obligated to help them, either.

The group made it through the hills and it gradually changed to high grass. Although there was no wind movement could be seen about 100 yards in front of the group. Swift Arrow did a low growl.

Screams can be heard and thrashing of the long grass. A growl loud can be heard followed by a another higher pitched growl. Two voices yelling and another yelling farther away which suddenly stops mid yell.

To the front of you about 60 feet came the main noises and parallel to your right and 20 feet away came the last set of yelling that stopped mid scream.

Ogrin follows right behind Cyran, ready to fight.

[gryffydd65]

As you approach you clearly hear two distinct roars and a Yelp of pain in a language you don't understand. Suddenly a young orc burst through the grass towards you with a spear and shield. Blood drops from his arms where claw marks can be seen.

The orc father's earlier words come back to Ogrin. "Must be those lizards that urk was talking about!" He stands ready for trouble in whatever form it may take.

[gryffydd65]

The tiefling yells No lizard. Lion. Lion. he readies his spear and the gnomes follow suit. More screams from the other side and more roars. Suddenly three lionesses jump through the tall grass.

Initiative every one.
