Having gotten the lay of the land Zoren approaches one of the Skullcrushers buying him a drink. "G&! d#*ned Drow", he whispers. "They're gonna give a larger share to the Whitefist Orcs and Ogres. Filthy beasts should not get anything. I just know we're gonna get ripped off too!"
Bluff
You managed to cause a few fights to break out between orcs and between some mercenaries and discontent has spread. A few more are hanged.
Were do spend the night to rest?
The next day a group of male drow soldiers led by a drow female arrive as well as a group of white fist orc soldiers including and older looking orc with a juvenile black Dragon following right behind him. They setup their own tent at the edge of the camp and the drow woman and the older looking orc isolate themselves inside.
<<It would be nice to know what that group plans.>> Ilithial whispers. <<Nicer still to take them out of the picture, but do we dare jeopardize our primary mission for this goal? And is there a way we could do it quietly with no survivors?>>
Zoren shrugs, "We could translocate behind the tent and enter invisible. Does anyone have a silence spell to keep the noise down? I am not sure whether we should jeopardize the mission though if we let these creatures slay all of the people we are trying to protect is the mission itself not moot?"
"We are already involved. If we leave now it will be suspicious. If something disrupts the leadership, then it will make sense for mercenaries to save themselves." He pauses to think a moment on how this can be done. "I don't think we can kill everything, but I don't think we need to. Most of the orcs and hobgoblins are rabble. They're dangerous working in numbers with more powerful forces, but not when dispersed. It's the drow, the giants, a few leaders, and now the dragon that are significant. We need spells that can keep them contained. They're on the edge of camp, so we can isolate ourselves with them if we play it right. Then we can teleport out. A few of us can sneak away if we aren't close enough to teleport."
"Even if we don't wipe out all of the leadership, if we do a strong enough blow then lots of the mercenaries will back out. There's no percentage in following a weak leader."
The tent is rather large around 30 feet by 30 feet.

She listens to the plan without saying a word, while she watches the intended target. The tent, to observe the comings and goings of those of the tent, how they move about, tapping the hilts of her daggers.
The Monk nods.
Surround the tent and isolate it with your magicks, while us melee clear the inner tent. Invisibility or teleport will get us in.
I am giving you time to plan it out just post here when you begin you attack.
You cast your spells and teleport to the edge of the tent and cut your way in. The first thing you come across is a pair of very large tough looking orcs holding greataxes. You get a surprise round and can roll init.
The inside of the tent is split into different "rooms" but the walls are just cloth so noise will be heard.
Before entering the tent Shimmer moves to Ahmose's shoulder. She casts Guidance on him in the surprise round.
Quick to react, Ilithial catches both orcs in an Intensified Burning Hands spell.
Z'dim picks the one on the right and sends a bolt of electricity through him and into the tent beyond.
Ahmose steps up to the orc that the lightning ignored, aiming a kick at his kneecap, attempting to sweep his feet.
One orc avoids the worst of it while the other takes the full blast.
Still recoiling from the roaring flames he has no chance to dodge the lighting.
Ahmoes goes after the healthier of the two and while he delivers a solid kick he fails to send the orc to the ground.
Both orcs are still standing.
His companions having matters well in hand so far and being Invisible, Zoren will pass through this "room" and into the next room as he does not wish to waste the advantage of being unseen just yet.
His goal is to place Black Tentacles near the entrance to prevent an escape out the front of the tent...

Bleeding: 5 HP per round, Heal Check of 15 to stop
Condition applied: Bewildered -2 on AC, -6 against rogue.
Slow Reaction: no AoO allowed
Pressure point: 1 Dex point damage. 15 Heal check to remove.
Z'dim flies around to the other entrance to discourage the next set of orcs.
Both orcs were still up after the lightning, burning hands and the kicks.
Didn't apply duskblade's attack yet as a full round wasn't possible.
Ahmose swings a hard kick at the orc on his right.
Ok So I went back and broke it down to this.
missing a few reflex saves.
Burning hands dc 19:
Fire from z'dim dc 22:
Ilithial init 27
surprise round: burning hands
round 1: Burning hands again.
Z'dim init 26
surprise round lightning bolt
round 1: Fire at the two near the door.
Zoren init 23
surprise round move into tent (invisible)
round 1 cast black tentacles
ORCS round 1: Orc 2 is down but 1 orc still lives.
On his turn orc 1 will step up to Ilithial and swings his human-bane greataxe at him.
Black tentacles cmb, it stop neither of them.
They run into the tent moving to attack Ahmose and Z'dim the closest ones they can see.
Duskade init 17
surprise round move into position sneaking
round 1:
Ahmose init 11
surprise round: run up and kick
round 1: full attack
A small section of the tent catches fire and begins to burn.
Ok so now. Duskade needs round 1 can use the above rolls if you want since you can flank and full round orc 3.
then Ilithial, Z'dim, Zoren can do round 2.
Let me know if I missed anything.
So, if the Orcs can see through his invisibility then they still have to deal with images.
As he barely dodges the orc's attack, he retaliates with a blade made up of lightning.
Since orc 1 cannot see Ilithial he would attack Ahmose then.
Name: Shady
Satisfied that his Tentacles will at least give pause to any who seek to flee, Zoren heads to the doorway to see who may be in that next room. If the leaders are close enough, he will drop a fireball on them before they are able to disperse.
@Ahmose The bane if vs humans only doesn't apply to you.
@Z'dim the orc you are attacking is fresh. All three attacks hit dealing 86 damage but he is not down (targeting orc 4).
@Duskade Gotcha so targeting orc 3 you hit but because of Uncanny dodge he is not flat-footed. 36 damage to orc 3.
@Zoren The main area is currently home to a juvenile black dragon and a male drow. No sign of the two leaders so far.
Orc 1 rages and attacks Ahmose all out
Orc 3 does the same.
Orc 4 rages and attacks Z'dim
Edit: notice I forgot to move you guys will fix it later
and confirm crit
You can all post again.
Ilithial, not wanting to expend too many resources on orcs casts yet a third burning hands (from his staff). He steps 5' away to catch two orcs with out burning any of his party.
Round 2
Ahmose swings a hard kick at the orc on his right.
Full attack
The monk draws upon his Ki.
The orc's blow hits his aura of force and draws no blood. Once again, his blade flashes out, filled with extra energy.
