As soon as the option was put forth, Tarric knew his preferred choice and stated as such -- running would only ensure orcs both ahead and behind them, surrounding themselves with foes. Hiding, even if successful, would leave the orcs on alert that someone had been in their territory. Thus, their best chance was -- "Ambush," he said decisively. "It's the only option that gives us a chance at the best outcome of Dol Guldur remaining unaware of our presence, at least a bit longer."
He outlined his idea - his bear self and any chosen companions would try to camouflage themselves with muck, to blend better with the environment, then endeavor to pick off any orc stragglers that ventured too far from the main group for as long as possible. Then, when the orcs inevitably became aware, the baiters would lead their foe on a chase to an advantageous spot where the remainder of the group could ambush, trap, and - if fortune was with them - take down the rest.
His own course already chosen, Tarric gave Olwinne a quick embrace and then moved aside to shift to bear and begin disguising himself.
Assets Tarric and Olwinne both have +1 talisman vs orcs.
