[QUOTE="CPaladin, post: 8251679, member: 7030144"] [Session 4 cont'd] Moonlit Snow sees various hunting parties returning with deer. The three tall things are agitated and moving around the camp. She sees the shaman moving around the camp. Atla examines the red powder. It’s definitely dried blood. It has an overwhelming aura of evil and death. It is heavily aligned to Morgrath. The shaman also definitely had more of that. Atla isn’t sure what the green liquid is. They come up with a plan: run horses into the camp to distract everyone, and then try to kidnap the shaman while people are distracted. They drive three horses into the camp. At the same time as the horses go in, Elyn and Iados sneak in from the other direction. The horses become orc dinner. Elyn and Iados sneak up on the shaman’s tent right as he’s emerging to see what’s going on. They threaten him, and escort him out of the camp at arrow point and knife point. They lead him out of the camp. The shaman says, “You live!” at Noah. Noah responds. “I do. I am impressed. You have created a powerful toxin.” “Any priest of the Lord of Death can do the same.” “I suppose. But I want to say something. I see no reason you have to die. My companions have made it very clear that they are enthusiastic to kill you.” “I see that. And that they also do not serve the Lord of Death.” “This is my question for you. I am willing to help you leave this place. But in return, I want information.” “We have little left that we can call our information. I’m willing to bargain with what information we have.” “I have been told you allied yourself with larger forces.” “We were mercenaries. We were paid by servants of the Lord of Cats to fight here.” “Lord of Cats?” “That is what he called himself.” “The Abomination of Shurr?” “Yes. He paid well.” “What I would be interested in asking you—it seems you are determined to create a new foundation here.” “Sadly, yes.” “I assume this is because of a lack of ability to return home.” “We lost too many spears. As long as we are gone, the other tribes will not disturb our women and children. If we return, and they see how weak we have become—they will kill us, and kill our children, and take our women. So we must stay here, and call our women and children to join us here.” “Say you succeed here. What do you think will come of it, when Cese Mai, the Seachen, one of the greater powers discover it?” “The Seachen will care nothing of it. While I command and the chief commands in matters of war, our shes command in all other matters. And Cese Mai… if we do not encroach on their plantations, why should they care?” “What I am willing to offer is this. Establish yourself as your own small entity. We will make sure no harm comes to you because of the blood that flows in your veins and the God that you worship. If you do this… there are other ways to achieve glory in the ways of Morgrath than other raids. Stay here, grow your forces, but attack no other lands.” “We did not in the north. We should not have taken this mercenary work. But the army was so large, who could imagine that it would be defeated.” Noah offers to not tell Cese Mai as long as they promise to not raid the local plantations. Elyn says that if she sees signs of violence from them, she will kill them all. The chieftain agrees. He also mentions that they have three orogs with them, remnants of the larger army, but that there are other orogs around. Without someone controlling them, the orogs are wild and dangerous. They release him, and Matsuki follows him back. He basically repeated that they’ve reached an agreement with the local people. So now there is a small orc nation forming in this area. And they’re far enough away, that they probably won’t interact significantly with Cese Mai. [End Session 4] [/QUOTE]
