So we are waiting on Stephen to let us know what's up. We might want to stay on the edge of range for bow/spells or do you think they won't charge? If they get to us before the "calvary" we'll be stuck. Oloric isn't slippery like Izzy if surrounded he he (next level he will be better)

Oloric and Izzy sneak through Izzy is worried the sorcerer will give them away with a misstep in the brush between the peaks of the hills. So worried he looks to much at where Oloric's feet are landing and not his own. He step on the log that snaps under his weight and his leg slips into a dead bush cracking loudy. The Orc Archers turn toward the line of the hill behind them. The Warchief grunts out a command and send three archers to investigate. They stride up and are 20 feet from cresting the hilltop. (the hill peak is the dotted line). From your position between hills you can not what is happening at the farm. You do hear Orcish grunts and cheers coming from the farm. Next round, Your Wondering if they heard or not is answered as the trio of orc heads poke over the peak and start looking around. The immediately notice the wagon three men on horseback and begin to draw bowstrings but do not note the Sorcerer or Thief Cresting the hill the 3 archers are about 50' away from Izzy and Oloric and do not see them. They are uphill from you and if they move about 10 feet they will be unseen by the rest of the orcs.

Izzy fires his shortbow twice at the closest of the orc archers; one arrow strikes home, the next whiffs past his head into the brush. Then he ducks down into the bushes out of sight, whispering to Oloric "Put out their lights, Olly."

OOC: I'll hold my action until right before the archers. No use risking getting caught if we can deal with it quietly first.

Malik will also hold awaiting to see if they can be stopped without alerting the entire group.
On Oloric's turn he chants and an aura of sleep overwhelms the group. He channels more power attempting to put all 3 out but it isn't enough. The wounded and one other drop leaving one left standing. The sorcerer curses.
(Sleep channeled to 2nd level but 22 damage total. Poor rolls)
"It's going to get ugly" he remarks.

The arrow strikes the first orc who look surprised switching their search from the wagon to the brush they aim in the general direction of the bushes. (they do not fire until last)
The Orc blades watch the hammers grabbing the smaller barrels from the cart. One is walking a barrel to the Warchief.
The warchief takes a long drink,"If this is dez good stuff we make killz you nice like."
The other orcs have not noticed you yet.

Fargrim and the rest of the crew are two rounds away, right? So Olly knocks the wounded orc and one unwounded orc out. Then it's the archers' turn, then back to the top. Does the conscious orc look like he knows where I am?

The archer Sees his Allies fall to sleep. For a moment he Considers the Smart Course of action. Then his orcish blood gets the better of him and he rushes forward and fires on the Sorcerer. He rolls a 14 on his attack. He does not see Izzy.

Oloric remarks "Come and get me ugly!"
14 does not hit Oloric.

Izzy pops up from the brush and fires another arrow at the oncoming orc. He then tries to duck behind a tree that turns out to be much too small.
"...I hate the woods..." Izzy mutters to himself.
[Attack roll total: 14, damage: 9. Ugh. Sneak attack, Y U no wurk rite? Bonus Cunning Action: Stealth roll total: 11.]

Once the orc hides itself from its allies' detection by going between the hills, Delrin draws his bow fires a shot right into the orc's chest, which, when combined with Izzy's own arrow a moment later, sends the warrior to its demise.
Attack: 19, so one extra success. That's 7 damage, which is still good enough to down the orc, although Izzy's really the one who got the killing blow, since this happened with the held action. I don't think we have any use for the extra success, so I guess that's a wash. Oh, and since that thing got downed on Izzy's slot, I guess that means I'm holding this turn's action too.

Oloric moves ever so silently towards the downed orcs with his dagger. Time to finish them off. One swipe and there's no waking up for the wounded Orc. He waves Izzy forward, "Perhaps we can get one more shot before the group is fully aware. Let's make it count."
"We'll let the noise factory take the scraps once we're done."

Izzy slips up to the crest of the hill and takes a quick shot at the big orc with the axe, and then ducks behind a handy bush. -Let's see if these ones fall for it too...-, he thinks.

The 3 orc archers lay dead on the east side of the hill. Izzy and Oloric crest the top of the hill with the rest of the party still in the low point between the hills.
Izzy crouches low finding a line a bushes on the top of the hill. He sees the archers and their Warleader to the east have turned toward the central building. The Warleader is pointing to the roof with his axe."Grummush, We've gots elves. Killz dem!"
Following his axe Izzy and Oloric see two Elf archers on the rooftop. Their arrow tips are aflame as they draw and fire. Izzy's shaft pierces the Warleader as the 2 archers fire on the booze wagon. The wagon explodes with a force far beyond dwarven ale. The Warleader is sideways head spinning from the hill top to the burning chaos in the center of the farm.
The Orc Blades are far enough away from the blast not to blown off their feet. They rush the building and begin leaping climbs to get to the roof and the elf archers.
Delrin (next) and the Calvary hear the explosion and see a plume of black smoke raise over the hill.

After seeing and hearing the effects of the explosion, Delrin remarks "That can't be good. Let's try to get a bit closer, the others are outpacing us a bit too much for a quick response."
He moves forward quietly with Randir, looking for any sign that Izzy and Olly might be in trouble.
Stealth (Disadvantage): 16.
