1000 Orcs is far too many for our little band of Dwarves and Elves.
We would be massacred!
There are about 100 Elves and probably only 20 to 25 Dwarves - and some of those will be positioned at the East-gate and close it should the Orcs come too close.
Can a smaller band of Orcs be dispatched to see what's going on in the valley and be the ones who engage us?
