Feint Whispers Chapter #5: The Excavation

[Tokiwong]

Jericho: It's tight formation, lack of precautions, and general direction marks the orcs as a raiding party headed back to the highlands.

Jericho mulls over a few things, "That was just a riading party, perhaps on their way back to to the Highlands, they were careless, and most likely trying to make it back to whence they came with their ill-gotten spoils. We should not grow lax, but I doubt they thought they would face a force as fearsome, as the Fist..."

Norri gives a nod and proceeds to search through the orcs' equipment at the first given opportunity.

Norri gives a nod and proceeds to search through the orcs' equipment at the first given opportunity.

Norri: The orcs are pretty bare. You find little beyond their armor and weapons, other that a few days worth of deer meat as rations.

"Lets be on our way. Once we have delivered these civilians, the orcs will feel even more the power of the Fist!" says Bhartus.

Jericho nods, and ushers Saladin forward, "lets move then," he leads the party back to the camp, in the formation they had before.

An hour passes before the Fists come into sight of the caravan camp. Some men are still on guard, peaking between wagons. They spot the party and then the peasents from a distance. Jubilant shouts erupt from the camp. By the time you reach the camp, the refugee peasents have already flooded out. Old women and young man alike embrace Drasik and the serving girls.

After getting his hug in, the villiage elder approaches the party and bows repeateadly, "Thank you, sirs, thank you. I will give thanks to Moradin above others for returning our kin." His bows are now directed towards Bhartus. "Will you continue to travel with us on the road, sirs? Where are you headed?"

 

[Krug]

"Moradin will fell all those who are evil," says Bhartus. "Well Jericho is our leader... it depends on what he decides. More orc hunting perhaps...?"

"Moradin will fell all those who are evil," says Bhartus. "Well Jericho is our leader... it depends on what he decides. More orc hunting perhaps...?"

Jericho thinks for a moment, atop his mount, "Orc hunting is good, but we owe a service to Duvik as well. We should return to Duvik, but if we complete our business there quickly, we should have plenty of time for hunting orc."

 

[Festy_Dog]

"Sounds good to me," Norri says.

 

[Mirth]

"As long as the caravan is secure, I'm for returning to Duvik as well," Tarowyn chimes in.
