He promised the Daggerfordians that he would catch up eventually, but he suspected that last night's raid was only a test and that the orcs would come again.Enseth had not recovered from whatever power-fluctuations had shut his systems down. He remained a large metallic statue on the footman's stand on the back of the war-wagon. Before they had left, Tommi had visited him in the hope that he could find some semblance of life in the deactivated construct. There was no response to his voice, and Tommi patted his strange friend on the shoulder-plate before turning to leave. As he did so, there was a grinding noise, and ORB5 emerged from Enseth's chest-compartment.There was still no sign of life in Enseth himself, but the Shield Guardian's little spherical minion buzzed and whirred and it followed Tommi wherever he went. By the time they reached the Swan's Nest, Tommi and Dandin were convinced that the little construct was not quite the same as it had been before - they felt that it held a remnant of the personality of their friend Enseth. Perhaps it was all he could do to continue to help them while his body lay dormant.At any rate, Escella led the remaining Daggerfordians as they scouted the south-end of the Floshin Estate. The orcs had two pickets watching the southern approaches - one on the road to Daggerford just south of the smaller creek's crossing east of the Swan's Nest, and the other where the larger creek left the forest to the south-west of the Swan's Nest. They avoided these pickets, noting their locations as they crept along the eastern edge of the woods.</blockquote>
