Siegfried made the most of his time stopping by the Quartermaster to retrieve his equipment and prepare for the upcoming mission. Aside from his swords which had been in for Sharpening he also picked up two quivers of arrows as well as a spear. "[color=1a7b30]It will make a good walking stick[/color]" he replied when someone asked him why he needed a spear along with his normal equipment. After securing his equipment Siegfried made his way to the mess camp to get a few food supplies. Sure there would be game to hunt along the way but some spices and vegetables were a nice addition. After his food and gear were accounted for Siegfried went to grab some personal effects before heading to the meeting point.

He didn't have to wait long at the edge of camp for the others to arrive, a few words were exchanged but not many before the group set off toward the hidden path that would take them to their first encounter with the Orcs. Luckily the path wasn't completely horrible and the group was able to make it up the side of the valley within half a day. Exhausted from the trip up the cliff with little to no sleep, the group camped near the valley cliff on their first day together. And with three days until the faithful battle time was starting to run out. After another day and a half of surprisingly peaceful sneaking through the forest Siegfried suddenly came to a halt holding up his hands for the rest to stop. he pointed ahead to a small clearing. 

A group of Seven Orcs were in the clearing walking away from the group. They all seemed to carry a bow and some sort of melee weapon be it a club, ax, or sword and two of the Orcs were dragging a pair of wild Boars behind them. Overall the Orcs looked fine a little roughed up from their hunt but no real injuries, yet. "[color=1a7b30]Looks like the orcs got hungry, lucky us. So as you were told one of you will take charge, so lets hear it anyone have a plan?[/color]" Siegfried asked waiting for one of the others to come up with a plan and take charge.
