"Well, now, laddie, says Drueglefish to Jonas, first let's address what you said about the habits of orcs. Ye hit the nail on the head in that they are very tribal creatures by their very villainous nature. But, from time to time, ye see, one will offend the rest of 'is tribe and be cast out to fend for 'imself, at least temporarily. Like as not, such a castasway will swallow 'is pride and go crawling back to 'is tribe, willing to do whatever is necessary to regain the good graces of 'is fellows.
"Ahhh, but not always!
"What we have here is a case where a castaway wandered aimlessly on 'is own for awile, until 'e found 'is fellow castaway. They took to tolerating each other, and wound up saying, 'Our tribes be jiggered! Our OWN tribe we'll make!' and they did just that. They found some other castaways, or you might say that the other castaways found them, and before you know it, they were in business and had found the orcish refuse from very nearly all of the tribes in the area. Now, they're not a proper "tribe" as ye may well imagine, what with being very "female poor" and all. They're more like a gang of street thugs, really. As far as I know, they don't even 'ave a proper name, even. A bit like a trash 'eap for used orcs, ye might say. Now, I know that ye're about to tell me that it just can't be that-a-way, that I must have dreamed all of this up, so go ahead! Do your worst, lad!"

Darius looks disappointed. [highlight]"Is there any chance that the Bloody Moonies might be cooperating or benefiting from the activities of this group of castaways? Rumor has it that the Moonies are agitating, and we had found a Moony weapon that was discarded in favor of a Blue Basilisk blade."[/highlight]

"Ye're right about the Moonies movin' in. They've been threatenin' to do that for some time now, but it looks like they've finally got their plans all set and are makin' their move. These Orc Thugs I was telling you about aren't helpin' the Moonies at all. In fact, they're more likely to be in the Moonies's way! Yes, Blue Basilisk bladework isn't good for much, I'll grant you, but it soundly whips the metalwork of most orcs! Now, if ye've found these things recently, I'd be very interested to here all the hows, wheres, whys, and wherefores of this story!"

Taking a deep breath, Darius begins recounting the team's encounter with the orcs in the tunnels of the 13th ward, highlighting the number of orcs, their sorcerer, their animals, and their equipment. Darius then mentions the team's discovery of the storeroom with discarded weapons and suddenly falls silent, looking a little spooked. After a short pause, Darius mumbles an excuse about the call of nature, stands up with forced casualness, and moves away from the water, his hand on his sword.
[sblock=ooc] Of course, in recounting his story, Darius's memory is jogged about the water elemental in the storeroom. His subconcious mind is screaming that there is a water elemental right here and he suddenly doesn't trust his circumstances. Too many coincidences! He'll confide his thoughts with his companions at the first opportunity to do so in confidence. For now, he'll just watch for threats from the water and prepare to fire arrows if his friends need to be defended.[/sblock]

SoulFetter keeps to the edge of the group, opening his Barbarian senses to the wilds as he stands watch.

Apparantly there's a reason SoulFetter moved to the City . . .[/sblock]
