Village party: You all get your reward from the merchant. You all get 100 experience from clearing out the warehouse.
Everyone in town is all abuzz about the new bounty of 2,000 gold that has been placed on the head of the Orc leader. The city council has a new chest with a new lock in the council chambers that holds this 2,000 gold. The chest is under guard and spell locked all day and night.
You all leave strafford with the hopes of traveling the road to check on the news or lack thereof that is coming from the Earls Stronghold. You are hoping to find them safe or if not to be able to free his stronghold if it is the base that the orcs are operating from.
You know between you and the earls there is very good chance of meeting with orcs. You know there is still one on horse back that has a mage as a assistant or is the mage the true leader. You hope that some of these questions can be answered in the next few days.
The first day you pass a few farms that show signs of renewed growth as some of the farmsteads are again occupied close to town. This is a good sign in your book. The farmer whom you assisted in heling repair part of his fence sees you and offers you some fruit on your journey north. He will tell you that he has not seen any orcs for the past three weeks. He feels that your have saved his farm from further raids. The rest of the day passes uneventful.
The night passes uneventful. Rentok was unable to find any fresh orc tracks in his search of the area west of where you camped. HE did however find a interesting tree or partial tree. It used to be a average tree but it has been carved on it with what looks like directions and clan symbols. HE can see that there are at least five separate clans of orcs involved in what ever they actually are doing.
The morning is clear and bright promising to be a nice day to travel north and then west. It will take you three more days to get to the cross roads that will lead you west to the Earls estate.
The second day passes much like the first day and you see little movement within the trees that line the road. You do see a burnt out farm on the east side of the road not long after you begin your travel the second day. After that farm you see no active farms but farms that have been vacated and over grown now with weeds.
The next day is a cooler day with a bit of wind making it hard to hear anything short of shouts over the sounds of the trees. Rentok has not seen anything these past two nights. You all know that sometime tomorrow you will make it to the crossroads and turn west to head to the earls. With the sound of the wind your all on edge because you know that there is a good chance of orcs possibly surprising you if you do not see them coming. Everyone needs to make some rolls if they are going to watch the tree lines as you move north.
