Check the camp when they are off guard

You move like a shadow through the camp, staying far from the bonfires and hiding between tents, trees, and bushes.

The orcs are too drunk and distracted to notice you, they discuss and laugh about their victory over the "dirty, stupid goblins who stole the other dragon egg".
You can believe your eyes when you spot a treasure pile near a corner of the camp gold, jewels, and, most importantly, a big red dragon egg.

Just as you prepare to make your move, a voice cuts through the noise. "You there! Stop!" It's an orc scout!
Unlike the others, he’s not drinking. He grips a crude spear, ready for a fight.

You have a second to decide. Do you try to persuade him, and explain your quest?
Or you can cast a spell to create a fog cloud, grab the egg, and run, risking a chase through the forest and the wrath of every orc in the camp?
