Message: <blockquote data-quote="silentspace" data-source="post: 1227092" data-attributes="member: 14316">Rangark answers Zanock in Orcish.  “Haha! we not slaughter these humans!  Not worth effort.  And cannot carry loot.  Loot end up with bandit or hobgoblin.  Why do work for hobgoblin?  Combat good, but combat better with loot!  No, slaughter caravan is waste!  Hobgoblin do own work!  Or if not hobgoblin slaughter, Rangark not care!  When new world come, these humans slaves like pigs! Orcs become master with other humans.”“But you different orc!  You mix with human and elf and others!  You tell Rangark about what sneaky humans doing.  You help make new world!  You help orcs have power!  Rangark not care about caravan!  Nothing to spy here!  Spy other things, not caravan!”  Rangark laughs loudly.The second eight orcs stop about fifty feet behind the first eight.  Rangark moves back to confer with the orc in the big poncho in whispered tones.  In the distance, beyond the second group of orcs, you just barely make out what looks like another group of orcs.  You're not sure how many.  They've stopped there, about fifty feet behind the second group, just at the limit of your vision.Zanock eyes the orcs carefully.  He knows that looks can be deceiving, but from what he can see, these orcs are not that much different than the ones in his tribe.  Most of them look like standard orc warriors.  A few of them look like first level elites.  Rangark looks much tougher than the orc sergeants in Zanock’s village.  Zanock can’t tell anything at all about the one in the poncho.  Based on numbers alone, Zanock thinks this might not be the best fight to pick.After speaking with the poncho-clad orc, Rangark returns to speak to Zanock again in orcish “If you want work for Rangark, quit caravan at Carodan.  Go one hour north of gate on Sixth Day.(The day is now Fourth Day, Fire Week, Sheep Moon.  You expect to be arriving in Carodan tomorrow evening, on Fifth Day.  You assume someone will be meeting you that night, at The Slashing Sword.  The last day of the week, Sixth Day, is mostly thought of as a day of rest.  Few shops are open on that day.)Turning to the others, he says, in common “You move now!  We travelers, let pass!  No more block road!”  To the non-orcs, it looks like Rangark is glaring angrily.  To Zanock, he has an expectant look on his face, like he's only waiting for you to move aside so they can pass.</blockquote>
