- We puzzled about the Temple of the Harpy and what it could be. Nat 20 intelligence check told us nothing! We hadn't heard of anything related to harpies.
- Decided to cremate the body and wound up setting fire to the entire cave! Made a hasty retreat back into the hostile spiders from earlier.
- Got past spiders and made it to lift, headed up. Quest was great throughout and definitely didn't need to be hoisted by rope past every climbing challenge.
- Tried writing to the "no one" from the note, saying that there was trouble at the mine and please advise, to see if he responded, no joy
- Camped for the night. Lando is back! Quest AND Lil J had bad dreams this time, the rot on us seems to be spreading in the dreams. We wanted to get rid of the amulets but Lil J and Jon wanted to sell them, Quest was happy to burn them!
- Headed back to town and noticed villages etc had been destroyed, just flattened, no sign of magic or that the orcs had done it. No tracks. No bodies. Lil J had a closer look, managed to find some huge footprints. Followed them east but lost them in muddy ground. Lando scouted and found that there were lots of other villages the same, no sign of any cause or any large beings. The most people were gathered near the Red Plume and the villages were least touched there, almost like they were being pushed towards the Red Plume by something.
- Decided to have a look at the Red Plume encampment. Met a guard who said that they were taking in refugees from the local area as a result of the stuff that was happening in the villages. He had no clue what was happening in the villages.
- Jon investigated the healing tent, the orc there said the injured were saying that a disfigured human-looking 12 ft giant did it, and it came from the northwest. Sounded like a troll or minion of some sort, it had a huge belt with cooking implements and even an entire pig attached to it, and would just kill, destroy and eat indiscriminately
- Orc healer said that the new leader had only been the leader for 3-4 weeks and that the refugees they were taking in were being used as slave labour essentially
- Lando got sniped by a Red Plume sentry, dead! Lil J had to get a new familiar, a snake of name uncertain!
- Decided we'd go and see Mozga and speak to her about the approaching threat of the giant and maybe the other orcs too
- We mentioned the orcs to the west and she wanted glorious battle, didn't seem totally against the idea, she wanted additional things like protection from future meddling and growing the tribe. She didn't overly care about the orcs unless they somehow threatened her. Same with the giant, she said it could come and they'd fight it if it did
- Lil J managed to piss the orcs off, he cast invisibility and slunk off. Quest got left to have his face smeared with weird coal stuff by an angry Mozga. Left as she ordered!
