[QUOTE="jkason, post: 6633201, member: 2710"] The party leaves the fallen untouched, their threat neutralized, and slowly makes its way into the fort. Erin takes point with Siddhartha, who had already begun to creep his way past the large, open gates. The others range behind as they can, the inch-worming Aszar taking the far rear guard. The closest trio of buildings, along the east wall, appear to be individual quarters. The central of the three seems most likely to have belonged to the orc with the familiar. The walls are hung with bone and feather reminiscent of the fetishes which adorned him. The back corner is stacked with small creatures malnourished and quiet. A wood altar sits on the back wall; the red-black stains mixed with bits of feather and fur suggest the intended fate for the pitiful animals yet living here. The two quarters which flank this one have little to recommend their specific inhabitants. Both are set up as if for military commanders of modest rank; at least, none of them have more than a single cot to suggest any kind of shared sleeping arrangements. The stench, and what might generously be described as decoration, suggest orcs. The large building in the northeast corner looks to be the general barracks. straw pallets line the walls, at least up to the pile of rock from the back corner's collapse. There seem to be far more pallets than individuals the party has faced, but a good many of the pallets have no personal affects near them, and in fact seem far too fresh to have been occupied. You recall the goblins from the road; perhaps the camp was set up for more recruits like them, who had yet to arrive. The longish structure along the north wall appears to have once been a stable, but the line of crude clubs, slings, and other simple weapons on one half, and the foul-smelling pots and fire on the other mark it some kind of hybrid armory and mess area. There are more bloodstains on what would originally have been the stall walls, but it's unclear if those predate the current occupants, or if the orcs decided to make their kitchen someplace where food was already sheltered. You come finally to the more ornate structure in the central field. It's angle suggests it wasn't built to align with the fort walls; its cleanliness suggests it a much newer construction, in general. The inside doesn't dissuade any of those notions. The structure smells and looks much cleaner than anything else you've encountered. A large cot with a privacy drape occupies the back wall. Another table holds a modestly-made pitcher and bowl, presumably for personal ablutions. There is a stand for but a few weapons; the equpiment nearby suggests they were well cared for. The central table is spread with papers and maps, a journal of some sort open in the center. So far as your sweep can determine, there are no further souls living in the fort. [/QUOTE]
