There are 2 groups one smaller and higher up the ridge. They are apparently nocturnal. 100's of them. Could be an army.

Thong is gonna sneak closer, so is Gareth. Thong is in shock because they aren't seasoning their game. They are ORCS!!!

A horn sounds from the largest tent. All flames are extinguished. A standard bearer comes forth. A large dripping eye is on the standard. A larger Orc comes out and shouts "Baroo!!" or Broo or something.

Some of us go back to the Inn to pack. Thong and Gareth watched to see which way the army was going. Which was North.

We decide to race home to Devarnish. Kire questions Glubnorb the Goblin as we head back to Devarnish. Hours pass. Our horses are frothed with sweat.

After about three hours we come upon a farm that has been burned to the ground. We get to the city and the gates are locked! We wait with a mob outside the city until Kord the Blue opens the gates. We go in and Kire goes to talk to "General" Lorne Greenbush.

We discover from Kord that the Orcs first attacked five nights ago; they have been trying to track the Orcs ever since.

Umm. yeah. A bunch of shit happens. We give Kord evidence that Torfus killed Emil. We all go back to the Crystal Moon.

A messenger from Kord tells us that a third of the city guard are going out to defend the outlying towns. The messenger gives us...gold!!! ...to pay for the revenge of Emil Dorne's death (20sp, 23gp). We all get ready for bed, but we are awakened by a man shouting alarm!!!

Night Passes.

We discover next morning that the army from Devarnish have the Orcs back into the woods. We go to see Kord in the Temple of Tritharion.

Skinny guys is there. We follow him to antechamber. He leaves us there. Kord comes and talks of the battle. They bore no standard. Reinforcements coming from the North. Kord the Blue talks of unanswered questions. Kire tells his epic tale... The Avengers of Dorne. The scribe scribes down notes of unanswered stuff! The drooping eye, the whole Underdark, mushroom men.

Magic items identified: boots of move +10 (Halfling size, went to Thong), shield +1, Short Spear +1, 18 arrows +2, 4 light healing potions, potion of fire breath, potion of gaseous form, rug of protection, belt of the forest (+4 move silently in the forest).

The eye is the symbol of the Orc warlord Doom Baroo, who for the past 40 years has been camped in the abandoned city of Luciem, midway between Devarnish and Umstad. Suspected pop of Luciem is twice the current raiding army's. Hole was some barony built to collect tolls dead center between Devarnish and Verbabonk.

Mushroom men use telepathic chanting to "sing".

The spell book contains Summon Monster 1, Flaming Sphere, Obscuring Mist, Rapid Strikes, Identify.

"Cordon Blue" himself comes and talks to us. Releases from debts and gives us some blue ribbons that will give us favors.

So what now? The Orcish city is in the Mts., A good seven days hard march.

-Grunk has an idea. Info on the Inn: Been there for 250 yrs. Traveler's rest spot. 30yrs ago closed doors due to the disappearance of the owners. Fell quietly into ruin.

Velup Shah- Glass arrows were a symbol of him. From Enstad. Dealings of the area ended with he end of the Inn. Note found on male zombie was from Velup Shah.

Tracked the Orcs all the way to the hills, straight South, then moved East into the hills.

From hence forth we will be known as the S-Team?

Rumors: Speaking with Ho Og. Disturbing robberies in the night. Women have been violated. Always in the Shant part of town. Not certain if it's humanoid. No one knew what happened till the next day. Both on the same block.

Got on the adventuring charter, 5gp.

Go down to the neighborhood of Shant and go to the Silver Nail tavern and find out the 2 places that were robbed.

***We decide to order a pizza and decide on what to order in a minute***

Took the family crest: an eagle clutching three arrows and breathing fire. --Onto the Light we Soar-- Wood with bronze inlay.

Extraordinary Performance in the street, may draw the attention of extra planer beings.

Elia scopes the crowd for shifty people, demons or what not. The druid and ranger get nervous as the crowd grows. Meanwhile Aldar questions the first victims and comforts them.

We start rummaging through the garbage.

We try to talk to the other victims but they are not home. Thong and Kire go to a bar and question the patrons. We get no new information.
