[QUOTE="Hrothgar, post: 2592333, member: 22226"] [B]Reznik and Kaela[/B] Kaela feels Aislinn shift in her embrace, as if looking up at Kaela. An odd movement given her blindness. [COLOR=Olive]My mother had herbs. And food.[/COLOR] Aislinn says, her voice rising. [COLOR=Olive]We won't make it far without food...[/COLOR] Her voice trails off. Reznik pushes up against the rain barrel with a grunt. The barrel shifts, allowing the cacophony of orc howls, harsh laughter, and horn blats mingled with villager screams to wash down through the tunnel. Peering out, Reznik sees a barn behind him to the west and the forest to the east, no more than ten yards away. Light dances on the edge of the trees, grotesque shadows twisting and writhing in its soft glare. Reznik realizes the light source is behind the barn. The smell of smoke wafts heavily in the air. Caft is burning. [B]Starhl, Brian, and Valurel[/B] The three strangers make a quick assessment of their situation. The village is swarming with orcs. Several buildings and homes have been set on fire as orcs drag the screaming villagers into the center of Caft. Already, several villagers, some children, lie motionless on the earthen ground, brutalized by the orcs. Several of the orcs question villagers, often hitting them with bare fists, breaking bones in an effort to extract information. This is not some mindless ravaging of Caft. They are after something, but what? Valurel notices at the forest's edge a rain barrel shift ever so slightly near a barn facing into the forest. Orcs or villagers trying to make an escape? [/QUOTE]
