Foxthorn, Krusten and Oliron all climb the trees at the top of the cliff. As they near the top they can see that more of their surroundings. As they hold on the the swaying tree and standing on a narrow branch they can see that to the north the land starts to rise more as the foothills of the mountains begin in earnest. To the west they can see the trees go on for as far as they can see. To the north west and south west this is the same. To the north east they can see a column of smoke coming up in the trees about 4-5 miles distant. To the east they see trees. To the south east you can barely make out a line of smoke coming from what looks like a clearing in the trees a few miles away. They take this to be the farmstead you have left. A few miles further they can see the town walls you left. If looks like your about 15 miles from town.

As they are climbing down from the trees you hear something or someone running towards you from the north through the woods. They are not trying to be very quiet and you can hear more crashing through the forests farther beyond. It seems someone/something is being chased through the forest.

What do you do now? Oliron, Foxthorn and Krusten are up trees and do not see anything coming.

As Beast rushes forward he sees a elf running towards him followed by five orcs. He is able to avoid the elf as it runs past but is off balance as he and the lead orc swing at each other. The two come together with a loud thud and both fall to the ground not moving. Beast takes 5 damage from sword, Beast is unconscious from a head blow due to collision. The second orc through makes a dodge to avoid the collision occurring and hits a tree causing him to spin around and stumble to his left. The third orc is in mid jump when he is hit with an arrow fired by Krusten. He falls to the ground dead. The fourth orc makes a saving throw against spell so he is not reduced. As he avoids the bodies on the ground he faces off with Oliron. Both swing and hit. Oliron takes three points damage from sword as he kills the orc in front of him. The fifth orc through is hit with arrows from Skedvick killing him.

The elf seeing others around stops running and looks around.

As the scene clears the one orc is easily dispatched as it is found laying a pool of its blood from a wound placed in its belly by Beasts sword. This orc is dying and Namdar puts it out of its misery. The other orc stunned and confused from the tree strike is quickly filled with arrows. The orcs are all dead. You search the bodies and find five long swords, five short bows, 100 arrows, 43 silver, 56 copper, and 18 gold. One orc is carrying a nice looking medium metal shield.

Since Oliron is a willing subject no saving throw is needed and he is enlarged. The orcs did not survive long enough to really hear the insult or react to it or oliron.

The party regroups after taking the heads and turns to head back south. Your able to make it back to the farm you left the day before after about 5 hours or walking. You do not see or hear anything besides the occassional deer or other woodland creature. Do you wish to stop and take a break at the farm before heading the other three hours back to the city proper?

The town council can not tell you much about about the farms to the north except that two farmers were able to make it to town and say that their farms were once again raided by orcs numbering at least 6-12. They did not stick around long enough to get a good count. The farms are along the main road headed north of the city. You can get to them by mid day tomorrow if you rest the night at an inn. Anyone buying any extra equipment or more arms/armor needs to let me know so I can update their character sheets. This can be done by placing a message in the character creation thread.
