I'm thinking it will be a little after noon now.
The search parties will continue for a a few more hours, then regroup for the night. Guards will be set along the perimeter of the group; the wounded cared for. Then early the next morning the now swollen group will set off - heading north and east.
The Orcs will most likely not be following after. Sauron's plan was to push westward from Eregion toward Lindon, destroying what he could along the way.
That's not to say there won't be a minor skirmish of some sort . . .
