On the way out, orcs reported that there are two people in the cave system looking for us (warforged and human female).  No clue who they are.  Relationship with the orcs is on a cash-basis (they like us as we pay them for things).  They'd probably kill us if they thought they could safely do so.So this is where the party is.  What I'm looking for is a plot which:* Gets Teltrude (my PC) and probably the warlock out of the party (I don't like playing "party member" PCs if I can help it).* Makes some degree of rational sense and takes off nicely from where we are.What I really want is a good reason for Teltrude and the warlock to go.  If we leave the cave system that can make sense (the warlock goes his own way, Teltrude gets summoned by his house (he plays a minor but real role in Talenta for his house)).  But I'd like the rest of the party to stay in the cave system if I can find a good reason to split the party...Thoughts?Mark</blockquote>
