*ORC WAR*
-
While many brave men and women stood upon the plains south of jiyyd and bore in like the spear of a hunter to the orc fortress, a smaller group was matching thier paths hundreds of feet below.
The weary party, consisting of Grag, Zyphlin, Amissa Lee, Cathrine Evenstar, Kara Du'monte, Vall, Tolin the Dwarf, and Uchi came out from the caverns they entered some thirty six hours latter. Thier bodies were ragged, thier packs lighter, thier foot falls heavy.
When back in Jiyyd Zyphlin spoke of the trip, thier attempt to reach the back ranks of leadership of the Orcs through the underground caverns. They travelled through successfully at first, save for a few powderkegs to open up pathways, slicing through dozens and dozens of orcs. They came to a large section of walls and a number of charging orcs. However it was past these walls that things became truly interesting.
He told of Duegar flooding up from lower down as they battled the Orcs. Soon it was a bloody free for all, the heros fighting Duegar and Orcs. Orcs fighting the heros and dwarves. Dwarves fighting everyone. It was chaos.
Soon all that was remaining in the little corridor were the heros and the dwarves, though sounds of the combat between the Grey Dwarves and the Orcs farther down below was evident. A bloody battle began, lasting at least eight hours or more with barely any letting up. They battled tireless despite thier muscles aching and thier minds ringing from the constant sounds of combat and hits from weapons and spells. The clerics called forth to thier gods…and the bard to his, mostly for luck...asking for more spells, but even those became depleated over the time. The General himself fell unconsious to a barrage of six of the toughest Duegar warriors, but was thankfully recovered and restored by the group only to barrel back into their flanks once more.
In the end however a retreat was needed. The heros...bloodied, battered, and nearly dead...took a small lull to make thier way back through the caverns and to the light of day once more, leaving the Duegar and the Orcs to continue thier struggle hoping that perhaps one side would damage the other enough to end thier threat.

Amidst the chaos of the siege on the orc fortress, while Jiyyd was an abandoned town, two tall men in black and green plate mail entered and offered their aid to a foolish halfling who claimed himself a Legion scout.
Zy'thyal and Elvin entered town soon after and together they and the two darkly clad men set off to the orc plains, where they slew many beasts of chaos only to find the gate to the orc hold locked.
On what may appear to be an unrelated note to the untrained intellect, on the middle of the officers' table in the Troff Royal Legion Hall, two severed orc heads lay unceremoniously, dried blood all about them and small puddles of it on the stone floor. A message is scraped into the wood with what would appear to have been something like a rusty dagger or the rough spike on an iron gauntlet. It reads, "Good tidings, General Grag and the Troff Legion, from the church of the Black Lord."
A rather messy and sarcastic olive branch, no?

//Couldn't be there, if it started at the exact time, I could have at least been there for all of it

Sy'wyn is seen gathering supplies throughout Jiyyd, keeping a close eye on the menhir stones near the Jiyyd cave as he goes back and forth, then finally settles up near the temple in deep prayer, unsure if he should go out against the orcs, or stay and help with the destruction likely to be caused on the town by the orc's catapaults.
//Not sure if i can make this one sadly. Pretty sure that Gobble has something big planned for the end, since the last one involved orcs chanting Grag the Coward!! :lol: //

Julian waxes his precious elven bow, then tightens the strings in his harp ready to inspire his allies in the battle. He then takes his notebook and quil pen ready to write another tale
