Sorry about the delays. I'll try to stay on top of getting daily updates posted, but we'll have to see how it goes.
[Session 28]
Dame Brionna entered the council chamber the following morning with a crisp scroll. “Good news, m’lord.”
“That’s something we don’t hear very often,” replied Kit.
“Yes, some good news would be welcome. What is the report?”
“We have both solved the problem of the Earl of Caligshire and at least delayed the problems of the other orcish hordes.”
“That is good news indeed!”
“Two hordes were approaching the village of Bountiful in the Barony of Bountiful in Caligshire-- the larger was the horde of the Lidless Eye, the smaller was the Gut Rippers. The village seemed doomed. The hordes are not huge, but that was some 3000 orcs. However, a small group of adventurers saved the village. Devin Rollingheath, an acknowledged bastard of the late lord of Caligshire, had returned recently from Enclaves, where he was adventuring, along with a group of companions, including Bernardo Fitrecelli, the apprentice of a prominent mage from Glittertowers; 50 mercenary warriors; and a company of minotaurs of the Bright Hoof Clan.
He and his 90 troops, plus the 100 irregulars of the Baron, ambushed and routed the smaller horde, and then intimidated into retreat, harried, and drove the Lidless Eye off. We will need to follow up on the victory against the Lidless Eye-- our estimates suggest they are unlikely to retreat for more than a week or two, unless the defeat is repeated.”
Alistair and Kit both excitedly chattered about the victory. The orcish situation had been so troubling, and without any good options. The possibility that a free agent would deal with the situation for them was truly welcome.
