OK - so no clues from K-nature. Oh well. I'd hoped things would be a bit clearer at this point, but you're doing pretty well, I think.
This brewing combat in S2 promises to be the most complex I've run, & I've been working on it to the exclusion of my adventure summary here. I'll give it a shot, though.
This adventure was based on the Firery Dragon module Himrack Orc Assault. As usual, I modified the module significantly to fit it into my campaign arc. The orcs turned out weaker than I suspected. Juliana, particularly, can cut right through them almost never taking damage.
I did foresee this adventure as taking place largely in one day. I was wondering how those depending upon spells or power points would conserve their energy enough to make it. I'd given Boog a dream as a warning about this, but I combined it with an action post, so I didn't end up giving you time to discuss it.
It was a combat -heavy module. There's mystery, too, which you've partly figured out. I hope you do eventually learn more of Mr. Jenkins. That's an advantage to running a story arc. If you don't figure it out in this module, I'll just have to stick the rest of it into another.
