Supporting
Cast: Norgyl, Oda, Urtel
Tossing
the orc camp, the group finds a few arrows of ill construction and
some scattered coins. In the large lean-to they discover the chopped
up remains of Li and Odur, the spice merchants. Gul’Daryh grants
these remains a proper and dignified burial in the ice and snow.
Meanwhile
Skat pops open the orc chief’s cleverly trapped chest to discover
the bulk of the small tribe’s ill-gotten gains: a sack of coins, a
green-glowing magic dagger, a moon ring, Li and Odur’s magic bowl
and spoon, a large emerald, 9 small gems, and an arcane scroll.
As
darkness descends the party discovers the tracks of a large group of
orcs leading out of the camp to the north. Perhaps the chief and his
stalwarts set out to chase the barbarian (possibly Argus!). The crew
set out after the orcs.
A
few hours of tracking through the snow brings them to a small valley
in which lies a large, round cave opening. Seven of the red orcs,
including the chief, lie in wait nearby watching the cave. Sparruu
and Skat overhear the orcs discussing the matter. There is talk of a
“snake witch” and something called a “ganguth”. It is
surmised that the barbarian and his mysterious female companion
entered the dark cavern, possibly followed by as many as 7 orcs.
Plans
are hatched as normal. Sparruu successfully draws several orcs away
as the others circle around in an attempt to gain access to the cave.
The orc chief makes his situation worse by splitting his own team and
our heroes are able to engage the orcs in smaller sets, picking them
off rather easily. Skat lands a perfectly executed dagger throw
against the fleeing orc chief while Gul’Daryh rains arrows upon
orcs that approach him from downhill.
The
white snow runs red and the party is victorious. Urtel, who has been
rather quiet, is granted the 2-handed sword carried by the orc chief.
He swings it wildly, unskilled in its use.
The
gang of six stand at the 12’ tall round mouth of the ice cavern…
End
of Episode #5.
