The sun was lowering on the horizon behind him, and he would have to hurry to find a good place to make camp before nightfall. Perhaps that old watchtower at the top of the hill would make for good shelter.The orcs in the watchtower could just make him out with the sun in their eyes, better accustomed to darkness. One of the two on watch roused the others who were sleeping in the base of the tower - it was time they got up anyhow. The one in charge, M'gragh, heard the report with interest. A fat halfling would have something in his cart to make for a good breakfast - and if he didn't, well, the halfling might be a good breakfast himself. But what was a halfling doing coming up into the hills under the mountain? He wouldn't be there to trade with the dwarves. They were deep under the mountain and not friendly to outsiders, M'gragh knew. No, the halfling must be heading for the Laughing Hollow. That meant he would trade with the fey-folk. M'gragh didn't trust the fey-folk, and if this halfling was friendly with them it meant it was a tricky halfling. He didn't trust a tricky halfling."Everyone get yer gear!" he yelled to his mob, kicking one of the smaller ones. "Let's show this halfling not to try his tricks with us!"To show how serious his boss was, his second blew on his horn and yelled, "Get goin' ya maggots!" and all the orc loudly stormed out of the watchtower and ran down the road toward the halfling and his cart.Begin Round Zero[GM]All the orcs are off the map at the top left. I'll give you a round of prep-time before they come running onto the map. They'll probably see you if you move. ORB1 returns to Enseth just before they get there and reports there are 8 of them.[sblock=Party]Name * (Position) * AC * HP*Angis (P19) AC14 HP 14/20*Dandin (P11) AC14(16) HP 19/19*Drui (Cart) AC16* HP 19/19*Enseth (Cart) AC19*(21) HP 14/14*Morwin (Titus) AC12 HP 5/5*ORB1 (Cart) AC11 HP 1/1*Snake (Y17) AC16 HP 13/13*Titus (P21) AC18* HP 20/20*Tommi (W20) AC14 HP 15/15[/sblock][ATTACH]92883[/ATTACH][/GM]</blockquote>
