so, my dragonborn rogue managed to talk his way out of having 4 orcs turn him into meat chunks tonight.

We were working on getting into positions while the 2 big bads of the chapter were monologueing to their troops in the cave, when our war cleric forgot to stealth on her turn. Four of the party members were immediately spotted, and the big bads left the cavern leaving their 2 lieutenants and some orc and hobgoblin troops to fight us.

We went ahead with most of the original plan and my rogue continued to skirt the side of the cave to get behind the main force and have clear shots at the lieutenants. Unfortunately, I got to a stretch where my rogue had to double dash to make it to the next bit of cover, so I couldn't hide. I shot one of the lieutenants with my hand crossbow for 9 damage. Since I wasn't considered hiding, no sneak

Four orcs (3 ladies, 1 dude) make their way over and surround me. Thankfully only got hits in (14 and 4). So on my next turn I surrendered. "Look ladies, gentleman. I know when I'm beat, so I'll go with ya quietly and ye can do whatever you want with me. I can make meself look like whoever you want. I'm not much into fellas, but it looks like I 'aven't much o' a choice, 'ere."

Straight charisma roll of 19. So as the rest of the party is taking care of business, one of the orcs has her boot in my back and is binding my hands.

The of the party takes out the orcs one by one during the next 6 rounds, and I only end up being useful for being the first person to land a shot on the fleeing doppleganger lieutenant. Though, I imagine it's the first times those orcs have wver had somebody simultaneously flirt with them and beg for their lives.

Here's hoping I finally remember my breath weapon when we're fighting the two big bads in the middle of town next session.
