Agree. Say that we in exchange we will need to keep our boar.

+1 Yes.

[birdy51]

"Gob keep boar. Gob like boar."

[helmacon]

we still have our commitment to return the zuffen to his people. We can stay for a bit, but it's not a permanent arangment

[Robot Parade Leader]

"No one here will take your boar. That was never a problem. Keep him in the stables and storage, I suppose," the old man flatly replies.

"Plovin's soldiers in the area are based in a watch tower, and send out patrols looking for us. They find us and Plovin sends his full might against us. Of course we'll move, but it is dangerous.

Then of course they have supplies we want...." He looks at you for a moment, "There are supplies coming from Plovin's court  to the towers, and those supplies getting there doesn't help us. Find one and report its location or if you think you can take it yourself. Then come back. If the Zuffen wishes to go with you, then of course that's fine. Probably north of here, and slightly east...."

He looks to Throlu, who nods.

What do you do?

[femmelf]

Go north and slightly east, find where the supplies are and take them if we can I guess. Take the Zuffen along and anyone else who wants to come. They probably want us to prove we don't like Plovin by taking his stuff.

You seem to leave fairly abruptly, to the point where Throlu comes chasing after you. Eager to prove yourself, you march straight to the stable where a shy goblin is feeding your boar some bugs. He shies away immediately upon seeing you and makes himself scarce. Your boar simply oinks.

Throlu suggests you take off the boar's makeshift saddlebags for this mission, to avoid overtiring the animal.

Do you remove the makeshift saddlebags and leave them in the stables for now?

You immediately depart and make your way through the forest north and slightly east, leaving behind the ordered, if old ruins of stone holding disgruntled and rebelling former slaves of Plovin.

What do you do?

[femmelf]

Yeah, leave the saddlebags for now, and have Throlu ride with us. The boar will probably like not having all that weight We'll be back later.

Head toward where we were told the supplies would be coming through and look for them, patrolling to find them.

I do that.

Geography North of Rebel Ruin Tower:
Immediately north of the Rebel Ruin Tower, You cross a small stream clearing with interesting bushes. Throlu points out that they are berry bushes and tasty, making a mental note of it for later. There is a great deal of undergrowth intermixed with the berry bushes and you wonder how that came to pass but all the same you travel through it.

1) The land north of that has somewhat more rugged features and exposed stone with odd pieces that seem to be "missing" from the stone. Throlu tells you that someone probably dug into these rocks many many years ago, perhaps an ancient quarry, though it has be in disuse for quite some time, too long to really guess as far as the Zuffen is concerned. You also notice a large herd of game casually walking through the area, perhaps on the way to those bushes to graze. You notice a great deal of deer and stags.

2) Some time after that and still north of that, you come across a heavily forested area with a great deal of undergrowth, to the point it slows your passage a bit. The travel is slow going, but it goes. There is an interesting little gorge, perhaps 50 ft down at most, that you make a note of and travel around.

3) Going still further north you find a forested area that has far less undergrowth, but still some. The area is largely coniferous forest and perhaps pine trees, with a blanket of pine needles on the ground from years gone by.

4) Then Throlu stiffens sitting on your boar behind you. The Zuffen perks up and taps your shoulder, pointing forward and to the east. You currently don't see anything right now, but the Zuffen keeps pointing.


What do you do?

[Prophet]

Stealthily investigate the area that Throlu is pointing at.

+1 we keep our boar close by though.

[Robot Parade Leader]

You get off your fairly noisy boar, he is a pig after all, and slowly creep forward. You make your way through some undergrowth and among the pine trees, you get closer to whatever it was Throlu was pointing at. Going from tree to tree and undergrowth to undergrowth, you come forward about 100 ft or so. It appears Throlu has excellent perception, he stays to guard your boar.

You hear them first, clumsy footsteps of some kind of beast of burden crunching branches. It seems there is no road, and the orcs leading the thing are making their own path through the woodlands. You then see those orcs, through the trees and undergrowth, and the oxen, laden with supplies. This may well be one of those supply caravans you were told of.....

It appears to be moving south and west, generally, though you're unsure of its final location as of right now.

Most of the orcs do not seem to be heavily armored, though do sport leather armor and perhaps some metal with helmets. It seems the majority of the orcs are not warriors, but laborers. You notice that there are 8 heavily loaded oxen, trudging about their way.

You are unsure as to the exact number of orcs, but you guess it may be around a dozen or so, that you can spot.

As of right now, it seems to they don't notice you among the trees and undergrowth. Their caravan seems to be making its way south and west at a slow pace, unhurried and unworried.

There is, however, one human among them and that one seems worrying if it came to blows. He is armored in metal, far heavier than you are and he is big. He has a spear with a wicked looking blade. He walks beside the caravan and doesn't seem to let the orcs bother him one bit. It should appear he is in charge and doesn't have to give orders, or has already given them, if you had to guess.

Throlu and your boar are about 100 ft back, hidden. You are about 15 ft from the caravan, hidden. The caravan is 8 heavily laden oxen, about 12 orcs, and one scary looking huamn heading south and west.

What do you do?
