Tunnel with cleft

You hear the heavy footsteps of an Orc patrol and spot a cleft in the tunnel that you can hide in.

You have four options: Regardless of whether you fight or not and which fight you end up in, you'll be faced with either going back to the first fork or moving on eastwards.
 * you face the orc patrol head on
 * you hide and then jump on them (one of the orcs will start the fight with less stamina)
 * you hide and then move on (you avoid all fights)
 * you hide and stay hidden long enough to be attacked by insects called rock grubs that reside in the cleft.
