Return of the Slavelords, Part 2 - "Bright City, Dark Hearts"

"Never heard of an orc working so hard" says a confused Norbac. "Unless they fear a cruel leader. The worse the leader, the harder they work. Someone very bad should live in the tower."

"We have to capture one of them"
he concludes.

THe numbers of the enemies are too great I'm afraid; I'm not sure what we can do. I too would like to try to find out more about that mysterious tower.

Perhaps if we could create a distraction away from the camp--a fire or something? But I fear that might be dangerous, and even then the entire camp wouldn't leave to investigate it.

What do you lads think?


Philo hears Norbecs suggestion.

Hmm, Perhaps if we captured one guard, Norbec wear teh guard's uniform and pose as one of the orc guards. But that woudl be very dangerous, and I'm not sure what we could accomplish with this.

"I would caution against anything rash. If we do sneak into the tower we might not be able to get back out again. I agree with Norbac that we need more information. Perhaps we can capture a good source of information."

"Well, since I don't have any better plan and smacking an orc around sounds like a lot of fun, lets go with it." Braggi gives his friends a big grin, "We need to lure one away from camp a bit. How do you suppose we go about that?"

Garynn can scout around a bit reports back to the party that there are a few patrols of Orcs in the woods. They are poorly organized and not checking in with anyone… it should not be to hard to take out one of these groups, if it could be done quietly.

(occ NOTE on the way I play/run Orcs (something your characters would know), I tend to see them as rarely if ever feeling pain, and they are not afraid of dying (death is natural to them). They really only respect strength, "might makes right' to the extreme. Just as an FYI. /occ)

When someone raises the point about orcs being not easily intimidated, Norbac replies: "No, torture won´t work, and I won´t do that. But they not too bright, and we could trick them."

Agreed, Norbec. We cannot resort to methods of cruelty, even on creatures such as orcs. We'll have to find a way to trick him into speaking, or perhaps one of us can cast a spell that would read his mind?
