You head back to town and search for the Sprite you saved at the mill, asking if she will watch the battle. You also get some peasant Elves so set up camp near the ambush site to haul the supplies away after the battle. When you get back to the site, the Sprite climbs into one of the trees next to the road, and watches.
You spend the night hiding in the bushes and taking turns at watch. Early in the morning, you hear the sound of carts rolling and get into your positions, traps ready. The Sprite notices as large armored figure inside the back wagon, and informs you that it is an Orchish battle chief. The Elves would reward you well, she says, if you returned him to the camp alive.
There are a lot more greenskins than you imagined there would be, and the carts are being pulled by slave Kobolds. They will surely rebel once the fight starts, however it seems inevitable that the group pulling the front wagon will die in the explosion. The first cart is about to reach the explosives, what would you like to
do?
