Playtesting: IG's 'The Making of Heroes'

"Guess it' just you and me." says Thogrim to the Dwarf. "I'll take first watch."

 

[Arkhandus]

[sblock=Aramil]Irathias replies "Now I really don't trust those two humans' story......but they were victims of the orcs, so I guess I should cut them some slack. For now let's assume nothin's wrong, get some rest, then get everyone moving at first light. I'll take a quick look at the wagon o'er there first, though."[/sblock]

Irathias quietly descends from his perch, sneaks over to the broken wagon away from the camp, and conducts a thorough investigation of the cart. After he's checked it out for clues or evidence or loot, Irathias heads quietly back to his tree, climbing up and settling in again.

[sblock=Irathias]The area around the broken supply wagon is a mess. What were once fine Bjoran leather goods are now destroyed and strewn about like trash, and the cart itself lay in splinters.

Rummaging through the mess, you discover a couple of dead human bodies, bloodied beyond recognition.[/sblock]

"Guess it' just you and me." says Thogrim to the Dwarf. "I'll take first watch."

"Aye, you and me it is," the dwarf agrees. Twisting his head from shoulder to shoulder, looking around for who knows what, he turns back and speaks quietly to Thogrim, "And that suits me just fine." Then with no further fuss, he sets up his bedroll and sleeps.

[sblock=Irathias] Aramil nods, "I am going to circle the camp. There may be tracks we have yet to find."

Aramil works his way slowly out of the tree, and carefully makes his way around the camp. He focus' his eyes and ears on his surroundings, intent to not be surprised if there is an enemy around.[/sblock]

You find nothing except the trail that you saw from the tree leading through the forest back toward the mountains.

 

[Arkhandus]

[sblock=Aramil]Once the two return to the trees, Irathias says "Just a few more dead bodies and trashed goods. I wonder what the orcs were really after, since it doesn't look like they wanted the leathers or the people. But maybe the corpses were just guards that got in the way. Any other caravaners are probably slaves now or somethin'. Considerin' the poor amount of light left, and the laziness of our companions, we should just rest for a bit now and keep watch on the camp afterwards, 'til dawn. Then we can go after the orcs and try to free any Bjorans they've taken prisoner."[/sblock]

 

[OnlytheStrong]

[sblock=Irathias]"Get your rest friend. I will watch until your reverie is over." [/sblock]

 

[Arkhandus]

(I'm assuming nothing happens while Irathias rests....?)

The night passes uneventfully. Fresh morning dew covers the ground as the sun makes is ascent over the horizon. Thankfully, the corpses of the slain orcs haven't attracted any unwanted visitors during the night.
