Chapter 5: Breaking Tusks

Agreed
Igbork crouches down, using shrubs, rocks and pits in order to advance towards the light as obscured as possible

Koram has the same goal as Igbork and follows him closely, matching his movements.

Waiting anxiously with the rest of the party, Artesia paces back and forth.

Koram looks to Igbork and locks eyes with him. He cocks his head slightly, clearly asking: "Should we?" and holds up 5 digits, shrugging, "Too many?"

Igbork furrows his eyebrows and raises his hand Wait...
He ducks down even deeper and crawls towards the camp. He wants to see if he can get close enough to listen to them. Maybe they are talking about their hunt on the Broken Tusks.
On his way closer to the campfire he watches the environment around him. Maybe he can use something around here to attack the camp. A loose rock that he can roll down a hill, a stretch of dry grass that he could light on fire... Something like that

Koram holds back, but readies a spell in case it might help to draw some, or all, of the Burning Mammoths away from their campfire.

Koram gestures to Igbork, indicating they should return to the others.

Igbork squats down, grunts and rubs his face.
Pakano truly has chosen to betray us, ordering the Burning Mammoths to ambush us. But now that we know about his plane we can thwart them. Set up a counter ambush...
In the best case we can catch them and ask them about Pakano and this Ivarsa.

"We should get the others," Koram whispers. Unless there is dissenting opinion he heads back to Grom and Artesia, Haitith trailing quietly behind.

After filling everyone in on what he and Igbork overheard, Koram suggests they go with Igbork's plan of a counter-ambush. "They will expect us to follow the main path, I think. If we send scouts out and ahead on either side of the path, find where they intend to ambush us, then report back, we can circle around to one side or the other - either try to bypass them entirely, or attack from behind when they're not looking. If lucky, they will have spread themselves thin while waiting to spring their trap."

Maybe we can stage some sort of distraction. Like strapping scarecrows on wild animals and chasing them along the path. If they attack the scarecrows we attack them from behind.
Or we scout out where they plan to ambush and then do a counter ambush

"Both solid plans, Igbork. I will follow your lead on this, whichever path you would like to try, we will succeed."

Artesia is uncomfortable plotting to cause harm, but knows that it is kill or be killed. "I will follow you," she says to Igbork.

Well let's see whether we find some bisons, goats or the like where we can strap on something like scarecrows or torches in the night.
