D&D 5E (IC) Scourge of Daggerford

[FitzTheRuke]

Morning came without incident. The tower, while not terribly spacious, was surprisingly warm and comfortable. It was very well-made, and Dandin could not find any practical way to damage it without a team of sappers. Even the covered roof was shingled in slate. The only wood in the place was in the doors and shutters (and a few other places, such as a trough in the menagerie), and none of it was from the original construction. There was some straw as well, but not enough to do any damage to the tower. There was enough for smoke, though.

It would have to do. Dandin piled the straw up near the main tower door. If he couldn't do any real damage, he could at least make it slightly less defensible. Should be enough to annoy the Orcs in any case.

Angis boiled some tea for breakfast, but it was mostly the remains of the goat from the night before to eat, warmed over the fire. As they ate, he stared out from the lookout space down the road they would take for any trouble in their path.

Tommi awoke, wedged in a corner of what turned out to be a nook for a defensive arrow slit. He was thirsty, and he had to relieve himself, but he'd rested, and was ready to proceed in about ten minutes. He thanked Angis for the warmed goat, which tasted better then next morning.

Snake came back at dawn from a hunt with a small rabbit in his mouth. The second watch had been uneventful and he wanted some fresh meat for breakfast. He found Tommi and Angis sitting around the fire. Snake set down and took the rabbit out of his mouth

“Would either of you like some rabbit? I could cut you off a leg so you can cook it, before I eat the rest.”

“Nae thanks, lad,” Angis told the tabaxi. “I’m guid wi’ the goat. Need t’ eat it ‘fore it gaes bad anyway.” He would wrap up whatever they didn’t eat. It would last a couple days.

While on the roof, Angis eyed the road ahead of them. He knew that the main dwarf road would turn north as it wound through the high hills, heading for the mountain. To journey to Julkoun, they would need to travel east. It would not be more than an hour or two on the road before they would be forced to leave it behind as they travelled east.

While pondering the route, Angis spotted wisps of smoke over one of the hills to the north - campfires. He could tell by the way that the smoke spread into the morning air that the fires had been burning before dawn and had been put out as the sun rose. Whoever had the fires were trying to avoid being spotted by day (even the vision of dwarves and elves were unlikely to spot smoke against a night sky over a great distance).

Most likely Orcs, he thought.

Angis turned back to the others from his contemplation of the route ahead. “Let’s move quickly an’ quietly,” he told them. “There’re still orcs in these ‘ills, t’ the north. We’ll need t’ ‘ead east after a few miles t’ get t’ Julkoun an’ the goblins, sae we’ll be off the road again. Can tha’ cart make it, or shuild we leave it ‘ere?” he asked Dandin.

"Might they be coming here?" asks Tommi. He looks at Angis, and then the others, trusting in their superior understanding of tactics. "If so we could face them here, and keep them from re-occupying the tower. Surely that would be safer than trying to avoid them on the road?"

He remembers the goblin fight at night, and how hard he found it to see. He would prefer to fight in the daytime, he has decided.

 

[gargoyleking]

"I'd rather not leave the cart. How far away are they though? I was going to set a fire to draw them to the tower so they could find our 'evidence'. Maybe we can be quick enough to sneak past them before they get to us?"

Dandin absently scratches at Hanar's chin to sooth himself. He had plans of making a small haul of gold from this run, but that was dependant mainly on the cart for transporting their prizes.
