“You couldn’t imagine how this world has changed,” he muttered, almost to himself. The Deceiver slides closer.

“Tell me,” the Deceiver whispers.

A sigh escapes Cematriku’s lips, and his eyes close in weariness.

“It has been a thousand years. I have seen so much. Nations rise and fall. Industry has brought so much change. Smoke chokes the air around every city. Gunpowder has. . .”

His eyes snap open. He looks at the Deceiver, hatred blazing in his eyes.
“Every word of yours is poison!  You ruined me, turned me against my brothers and sisters, against my king! Our order has watched for so long, and now we will end you. The Ark will never rise again.

The garden begins to burn. The Deceiver, his robes morphing instantly into armor, leaps for Cematriku’s throat. The wizard disappears in a flash of fire before the Deceiver reaches him. Soon everything is fire.

You wake up. The sky is grey overhead, shouting echos around you. Jortha leans over you, and breathes a sigh of relief. He helps you to your feet.

The battle has swung decidedly in your favor. The trolls broke the goblin’s ranks on the right flank, sending them scurrying them away and the orcs charging after them. A detachment stormed down the hill, forcing them against the cliff. Seeing the tide of battle so turn against them, they began to flee. The rest of the goblin army slunk away as their brothers were cut down.

You walk past the bloodied and celebrating orcs. They have fought hard and well, and are eager for more glory.
Do you continue on to the goblin’s fortress?
A- Yes
B- No
C- Something else?

The encounter with Cematriku has disquieted you. He broke your bonds somehow, and more so without you becoming aware of it. But the encounter also reforged some connections in your mind. What do you gain?

A- +1 research point
B- + Increased magical power
C- + Increased physical ability

You remember techniques you had mastered long ago, that allowed to influence crowds, channel more power and magic, and the memory of how to perform basic rituals.

Forces: 9 warbands, 3 trolls

Enemy: Goblin fortress, 74 goblin packs, 5 wolf packs, 1 pack of goblin hulks

In front of you lies the goblin fortress. It is a ramshackle construction, made out of scavenged wood and crudely hewn stone. Turrets jut above the walls, leaning heavily over the side. The walls aren’t impressive in the least, resembling more a study high fence, built quickly to house expansion.

You discovered from your mental shakedown of the goblin scout that this fortress is ruled by an elected chief, Gumdrup, and advised by a small council. Negotiations could be had, but goblins have little loyalty for outsiders, and would be unwilling to give you the resources you desire. However, they also don’t have much loyalty to each other.

Your captains advise that they don’t believe they have enough orcs to storm the fortress(aside from Bubol), though they would give a good fight. Aside from light skirmishing, the goblins seem content for now to stay in their fortress and reinforce their defenses.

What do you do?
A. Try to open negotiations with the chief.
B. Just continue the siege. Eventually they will have to try to break out, and you maybe able to defeat them with a good defensive position.
C. Channel malign influences their way, though you need more information to really target anybody.
D. Attack them before they have a chance to get help or reinforce their position even more.
E.Something else? Combination of above, send for more troops from your anti raiders?
