Give some quick orders for other orcs to guard the entrances, the ranger might manage to bypass us or double back, then head off in pursuit.  Watch for traps.

Eat the Uruk. Into the pot. Gear is taken into inventory.

Meanwhile, we march back to the outpost to sell this iron.

You cannibalize your poor Uruk. It tasted like pork.

You march all the way back to the outpost to see that everything is on fire! Everything. Even the occupants. There's a giant pile of bodies in the courtyard. It is on fire. The tribal elders have their heads mounted on gondorian spears that are now decorating what used to be a gatehouse.

From the ruins, an old orc stumbles towards your warband. You recognize him as the black smith.

"Reprisals... for caravan raids." He croaks, pointing a charred bony finger at you... "And it's all YOUR fault!"

You don't have a stronghold anymore, but you have a pile of iron, and a grumpy and slightly sauteed blacksmith. Go figure.

Give some quick orders for other orcs to guard the entrances, the ranger might manage to bypass us or double back, then head off in pursuit.  Watch for traps.

Grab Ranger. Use ranger to batter Troll.

Devastator blocks off the entrances to the mines and head after the ranger in pursuit.

The ranger stumbles upon the scene of a stumbled troll being clobbered by Egan. "ARRGGHHH, honey tums! You leave her alone!" He draws his longsword and charges.

Egan rolls power to attack/grab the ranger: 4d6>=4f1!6  = (5 2 1 1, -1 success) = -1

Egan stumbles as the Troll reaches out and grabs his ankle, sending him sprawling face first into the cavern floor.

The ranger starts carving through Egan's bodyguard, killing 3 of the 6 orcs with him.

Explain that you had taken dwarves that were mining. You know better than to target huge caravans. You did see something on 1 of the others equipment.

Blame it on Egan, then have everyone put out the fires, find any survivors and feed them.

"RANGER!"

TAKE HIS HEAD

Power Roll: 4d6>=4f1!6  = (4 6 2 4 2, 4 successes) = 4

Ranger's roll: 8d6>=4f1!6  = (6 5 3 5 4 2 3 2 2, 5 successes) = 5

You swing a massive stick at the ranger with momentous force. But the attack is parried by a longsword. It twirls and cuts you in the cheek.

Lay into the ranger from behind.

Power Roll: 7d6>=4f1!6  = (4 2 2 2 4 1 3, 1 success) = 1

You stab the ranger with your master-crafted longsword. But the tip barely makes it through his heavy cloak.

d6  = (1) = 1

Your sword is caught in the ranger's cloak, the sharp edges shred it, but the sword doesn't come free.

Explain that you had taken dwarves that were mining. You know better than to target huge caravans. You did see something on 1 of the others equipment.

There are no survivors. Just rubble and an angry blacksmith.

Enterprise roll: 3d6>=4f1!6  = (6 5 5 6 3, 5 successes) = 5

You manage to sell... the desire for vengeance to the blacksmith. He realizes that humans must be stood up to. And that your crew will help him do that. The blacksmith follows you back to Castle Durthang.

Enemies' Turn

Meanwhile the troll gets up and steps on one of Egan's orcs. There are 2 left.

Have the blacksmith create longswords and shields for our orcs out of the Iron.


Also, can I get 2 Exp for selling that Line of 5?

Set up camp and have my orcs make clay from the earth and water. Bake them into bricks, and then Form the Kiln. Blacksmith watches and directs the process.

We'll be doing just that this turn. Get to work everyone!

Set up camp and have my orcs make clay from the earth and water. Bake them into bricks, and then Form the Kiln. Blacksmith watches and directs the process.

We'll be doing just that this turn. Get to work everyone!

Enterprise roll: 3d6>=4f1!6  = (5 2 6 3, 3 successes) = 3

You find spare wood for charcoal and make clay kilns out of baked bricks. The blacksmith decides your furnaces are satisfactory for steel production.

Continue fighting and shout for reinforcements.


Power roll for shouting: 2d6>=4f1!6  = (3 6 5, 2 successes) = 2
Power roll for fighting: 7d6>=4f1!6  = (5 1 2 5 4 2 4, 3 successes) = 3
Ranger's defenses: 8d6>=4f1!6  = (3 5 4 3 5 5 1 5, 4 successes) = 4

Devastator's Uruk and more of his grunts come flooding into the caves to join the brawl. Devastator is being slowly pressed back by the Ranger's swordsmanship.

"HE'S MINE, IDIOT! YOU STAY OUT OF THIS!"

Knock the sword from the ranger's hand.

Power roll: 4d6>=4f1!6  = (1 1 3 5, -1 success) = -1

Egan lunges for the ranger's sword and impales himself on it, taking a wound.

Ranger's turn:

d6  = (1) = 1

The ranger gets his sword stuck in Egan, and is promptly bonked unconscious by devastator.

Troll's turn:

d6  = (6) = 6

The troll is enraged at the sight of the bonked ranger, and charges forward. Bits of mine start collapsing under its weight. The orcs run out of its way and it manages to crush the ranger it was trying to save.
