Kol be a good man and remove those heads if you would for the sake of us all.  Who knows if those tales are true?  Perhaps the orcs are still here or even worse perhaps the orcs and lizardmen could have a loose conspiracy to raid the traveling caravans and travelers on the road which means they probably have effective and relatively smart leaders nearby.  That would be bad for us - bad indeed.  Then I guess it could all just be some sort of random setup; simply a mix of random doors with random challenges and rewards created to test us somehow.  Might be its sole purpose is to facilitate our growth into seasoned adventurers for some nefarious purpose later on.  Imagine if you will, a sort of filler to take up our time while we grow into our potential and can take some bigger joint undertaking with far reaching goals and rewards or dire consequences for failure. Fame fortune - all that stuff there! Or, or, or...looking around and turning a little red> Sorry, sort of got caught up there....Well...someone else have any ideas?  </blockquote>
