Thodan

"Perhaps we should examine each portal in turn, carefully, and see if we might find clue as to where any of them lead? Orcs are not the smartest of peoples, and they may have left some sign as to where these lead, besides the obvious numbers." As he speaks, the cleric of Tempus turns to regard Leonara and Jack. "Would you mind covering us as we search? It would not bode well to be surprised by something coming through one of these portals."
 

"Perhaps one of our scouts can check to see if the orcs left a trail or tracks first? That would save us the effort, unless nothing can be found in this dung." Vardrin's face visibly holds distaste. "If we do have to start a direct search, it must be one on the clockwise side; the orc was going that way."
 

Thodan

"Keep in mind, my friends, that following the orc's exact path may not be the wisest course of action before us. Drullgut spoke of his tribe and their overwhelming numbers. I am not one to flinch at the thought of combat against an orc horde, but it seems we can accomplish our task best by striking our enemy with surprise. It would not be advisable to alert this orc chieftain to our presence until we have done as much damage to their operation as possible."
 

"Then finding a trail or trails will give us the information we need to avoid the chosen gate, if the orc-spawn was not misleading us."
 


Thodan smiles at the dwarf's comment. "I always had a feeling that I would die knee deep in orc corpses with a cursing dwarf by my side." With a wink at Glandred, Thodan goes back to examining the portals.
