Bingle - Day 8 - Thot 43

Looking through keyhole at two Orcs. We burst though but there are actually four. I slip and fall. I get up as Stibmit makes the final blow. We search the bodies and then hide them.

Voices of Orcs are approaching. We hide at the door and attack when they enter. We kill Orcs in the door and again hide the bodies. We light a lantern and see there are 12 beds. In the beds the Orc in the last room is dead. The arrows are not Orcish manufacture, they seem to be Elvish. As we pull the arrows out one sparks.

We go to the big oak doors and listen. There is the sound of a fire… a kitchen? Trax and I rip open the doors after Stib and Sid pull the beam. We chase Orcs one downed by Stib. Sid and Stib are doing well. I kill the last Orc. We drag them back and burn them. Blood on the handle of the open door. A groaning Elf is hanging like a side of beef. We give him a healing potion. His name is Silverleaf and he joins the party. Sid opens a door and there are two Elf women, Casandra and Philameana. We lift door under pine bed. Something about a backpack and Cave Trolls.

Spy?

Pull lever at statue and push the altar. Chest – darts – chest – Stib picks the lock and it opens. Four flasks. I take one (healing potion). We also find a scroll of invisibility, and a map. Stib takes 6 poison darts.

Stib gets on a bucket and I lower him down the well. We drink Stib goes swimming with a rope tied to him. Be finds spiders and loot. Noise go East hide behind barrels, run to other side ambush come in attack! A dart misses my head.

Trax and I stay for 11 days to fully recover. Then we ride to the fortress on the map. 11 days in *something*. Day 5 horseback, on watch hear something, wake Trax, circle around noise, twig snaps! Move in. 5ft, kill Orc. Back track. Stib and Phil. I run in to attack from behind. Encircle the Orc camp. Kill two Orcs, then slip. Attack Giant Orc. I kill Giant Orc. Tracks to Fortress towards cliff.
