Whirtlestaff's Wizards' Academy Revisited, IC02

[Scotley]

Tylara

"That doesn't sound good at all. I believe our benefactor will be interested in this." She turns to the dwarves, "Do you know which one they called 'Uela'? Was it the spell caster?"

 

[Leif]

Torbin and Korbin

"Yes, the Sorceress was Uela, I believe," says Torbin.

 

[Scotley]

"Does a 70/30 split mean that the mage thought these orcs were more than twice as powerful as the inhabitants of the keep? Not a prospect I like to contemplate. I believe we should wrap things up here quickly and return to report this note to the local rulers."

 

[Leif]

OOC: Doesn't it seem just a wee bit strange that this letter was written by Uela (a Goblin sorceress) instead of Thugler (the chieftan of the hobgoblins)? Hmmmmmmmm...... I wonder......

Mánunuksó (Manny) Maliit

OOC: OK, caught up with this one - been a crazy couple of weeks!

IC:

"Something odd is going on here for certain sure . . . to whom did she write this little missive? And who are the 'Crushed Skull Orcs?' Have we heard of them before?"

 

[Leif]

OOC: The addressee is named in the letter......

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Manny

OOC:

Right, but who is that? It's been awhile, and I only skimmed some of the entries. Have we heard that name?

 

[Leif]

OOC: No, you've never heard that name before, but the letter itself does somwhat strongly imply who it is. With only minor reading between the lines required.

Capizzio pipes up,
"Well I haven't herad of them before, but the mention of the underdark may be a clue as to where they, the orcs, reside. the fact that she wrote it and there is no other signature on it might mean that either she is doing this behind the backs of the hobgoblins or she is the leader of the hobgoblins.

Although, i am just speculating about allof that..."

"I think you are correct, Capizzio. Thugler could barely write his own name. The sorceress Uela would have had to write the message for Thugler and the hobgoblins to contact the orcs, presumably led by this Kersux.

"So if we have the note, then the message has never been delivered.... Right?" Xavier asks the group.
