Session 12:
played on October 9@Seth's
GameLocation: near the red 1 on the map.
GameDate: afternoon of day 14
PeoplePresent: Ronny, Seth, Stefen & Tom
When we start this session, it is almost evening. We are just being escorted out of the cave were we were ambushed by the goblins, by 4 orc soldiers and their orc captain. The captain of the orcs, ?, again asks us what we were doing in the cave. Unfortunately, non of the party members have a decent explanation about the situation. After some unsuccessful attempts to explain (i.e., no one actually gave any decent explanation) why we were in the caves, MaxPower draws his sword. The rather friendly orc captain gives us a chance to throw down our weapons (very friendly orc by the way), but the party attacks. The fight went pretty well. Especially the Scout delivers some great hits, and when one of the orcs drops, our advantage becomes larger. The captain is forced to surrender. The party ties up the orcs and try
to decide what to do with them. Our conscience [i.e., gamemaster] tells us that again killing enemy troops that have surrendered again (remember the toll-house), is not exaclty a good deed. The party thus decides to keep them alive,
and bring them to the mansion where we have to drop off the silver. After moving away from the caves, three of the party go and scout out the mansion. They are suspicious, as already one of the resistance betrayed them. The WoodElfRogue jumps (spell) over the wall that surrounds the mansion, and everything seems normal. The three partymembers enter the mansion and tell what happened to the local (unfriendly) boss (present at the mansion: ?, the local boss, and ?? and ???,
two other resistance members). The party tells that they only have about 40% of the silver. However, the party doesn't tell the whole truth about what happened to the silver: they don't tell that the villagers at Durvix Pass didn't have all the silver, and
they also only tell part of the encounter with the dwarfs (i.e., only that they were ambushed and that the dwarfs were able to 'run off with half the silver and the donkey'... so nothing about the battle at the abandoned stronghold against the bandits/ogre's). The party also tells about the treason of the resistance member ? and the battle and capture of the orc captain and his soldiers. ? is not happy at all, and asks the group to bring the orcs to the mansion. He takes 'care of them', and the partymembers have to dig the holes in the garden to put the bodies in. ? also decides that we will have to suspend our operations in the region (the other orcs in the village will not be happy and retaliate against the village, probably finding out about the mansion). The party is asked/ordered to spend the night in the mansion, in the bedrooms on the first floor. ? leaves the mansion (to take care of some business) and after dinner the adventurers retreat to their rooms. Not trusting the situation they also put someone of their group on guard...
