Orcs from East Road to the Stormhorn Hills.

[felixgfms]

The rain was falling tame on the Greatgrount East Road...

There was no sign of travelers on the road, but the grumbling of grummsh beasts beside the road rang in his ears like a bold intimidation.

Celith sneacks through the entirety of the orc cave.

The wretched breath of the orcs causing him to sweat as he delves deep into danger.

But by the might os Shevarash, the Dark Archer, his training prevails and guides him through.

... Not far from the throne room, he finds some banners. flags of at least one other tribe. Not discarted as garbage, but set up on display. Maybe the hints of one of alliances the orcs under the Warlord Urbuchck have formed.
A few orcs become alarmed, returning to the back of the cave and declaring that someone has snuck within...

Celith thinks it's a good time to get out before he's found.

He had already ventured into that cave before, but this time on the way out, the fresh air which came after the putrid environment of that cave gave him a different relief.



"Orcs ... rotten creatures that exist only to give a reason to an infinite war" - Thought Celith wile he set off to Greatgrount to deliver Sir. Callen the news.


On a parchment damaged by rainwater and blotted by the piece of charcoal that he used to write, the wood elf said in the message:

"Humans,

Orcs to the east of yours village are large. Urbuchck are with them and you will suffer casualties soon.

The rumors are true.

Urbuchck with orcs and maybe more.

Great losses are yet to come if you dont do nothing.
solve problems soon and grow your army.


Now

Celith"

They were long days patrolling the east road. Celith patiently watched for six days the travelers who were leaving and arriving in the village, hidden in the canopy of the Brablewood forest, also prevented the goblins and orcs from getting as close to the trail as usual.

when a group of 4 travelers appeared willing to challenge the orcs, Celith saw the best opportunity to challenge the horde and examine more closely what these orcs hid.
"what tribes were those flags? they sure hid Metals from the stars with him ..." thought Celith.

He had to check.

Celith joins a war bard, Jack Nelmin, an astute halfling with excellent slingshot, Dot Popplebotom, a figure of few words and much attitude, Shahorn Shandler and the brave and agile Thurian Elswick.

All advanced to the throne of the leader of the horde, leaving only the trail of death and blood of grummsh's children.

Celith lets everyone bury themselves with the treasure they have conquered after the battles and refines their quest and removes from crates and the equipment of some orcs, 3 types of flags with different orcs symbols.

The group identifies the flags as belonging to three different Orc Tribes in Cormyr.

These Tribes are called:

The Hullack Remnant
The Immortal Horde
The Sons of Nalavara

Unfortunately none of the Star Metal seems to have been stored within this particular place.

"is not that kind of odd?" - Celith had asked himself in his thoughts - "If the Orcs are joining under this Warlord, but he is not trading or giving them ANY of the Star Metal for weapons or armor, what could he be doing with it? "

...

Celith leaved the cave and went to Brablewood, where he would write a report of this mission to Sir. Callen.
