Heroes: Dull Knife the Shaman, Andyra the Cleric, Jenner the Druid, Bobby Stocks the Archer, Gilgamesh the tiger, and Nasmir Haas the Rogue
The heroes were asked to help topple the leadership of a local fort taken over by orcs. Andyra was asked by her Aunt Shaelynn who she was visiting in Fangoria to accompany the group and try to find any battle plans to assist in possible future attacks. Andyra was both mortified and annoyed when she saw Jenner was in the group, sent by the druids because he could assist in breaking into the fort. Dull Knife had heard rumors that this fort had attacks another Flan tribe and had possibly taken prisoners. Bobby Stocks had come along to kill orcs as did Gilgamesh. Nasmir Haas agreed to assist the party in the hopes of loot. He did not meet the party at the appointed time as he was still drinking at the tavern.
The party approached the fort under the cover of darkness. Jenner flew over the wall, befriended the dogs with a spell and opened the gate. Facing an open courtyard with three doors into the fort and no guards in sight, they approach the door that entered the smaller complex of buildings. Upon entering, the rooms were all empty in what looked like a barracks with a common room. They did find the commander's area with three chests. They were locked, but with Bobby Stocks's carpentry skills, they managed to open them all. The first chest had gold and gems, the seconds had pieces of armor and seemed to be a trophy case of sorts, and the last was filled with dirty clothes. Seeing this section was clear, they moved onto the next area.
Opening the door on the north side of the courtyard, they surprise 4 orc females flirting with an orc male while they ignore their duties to sort the pile of looted clothing and cloth. Two of the females are not surprised however, it does them little good. The party makes quick work of them all. One tried to escape into the complex, but only makes it as far as opening the door. Andyra quickly sets about to clean up the mess and hiding the bodies so no patrol finds it easily. The rest of the party searches the orcs and finds a key, but little else of interest. They try the door to the left that was still closed and found it locked. Trying the key found on the male orc, they unlocked the door to find two weakened flan prisoners. Jenner gave them a good berry each to give them strength. The party then convinces the two to hide here till they come back. They protest, but both Dull Knife and Andyra swear to come back. They close the door and hesitating a little, Dull Knife locks the door. They move on down the hall.
Noticing orcs passing through the hall from one door to another, the group sneaks down the hall to avoid detection and enter a door out of sight of the orcs. The group runs into six ogres playing knucklebones. The party quickly rushes in to silence the ogres. The party quickly takes them out with the over confident ogres never calling out for help while Andyra stays on watch in the hall. Nasmir shows up at that point apologizing for being late and helps finish off the ogres. The group then moves to a door across the way with Andyra motioning for the party to move when orcs are not in the hall. They find themselves in a store room that leads off into a kitchen around the corner. They hear orcs in the kitchen, but Dull Knife suggests that they move to the other side of the complex as to not draw out the central chamber the food is going into. They leave by the way they came into the courtyard.
The animal friendship has worn off and Jenner casts it again to calm the dogs. Andyra suggests Jenner lets the dogs free into the wild so we do not have to keep doing this. Jenner quickly agrees and they release the dogs, relief sweeping over Jenner that he doesn't have to kill the dogs. While doing this, an orc patrol coming to check on the dogs sees the party. He tries to run back into the complex, but takes a throwing dagger from Andyra and the rest of the party chases him down and kills him. Now in the other side of the fort complex, the party methodically goes through rooms and finds a battle council room. Andyra picks up all of the maps and notes to bring back to her aunt. They do find a room where it seems a pet is kept and the collar point to something the size of Gilgamesh. Entering the next room across a common sitting room from the room with the collar, they find a targ. The animal charges out of the room, attacking Bobby Stocks in the process. To Jenner's dismay, the targ is killed by the party. Patting the poor animals shoulder, Jenner moves on with the party. They find what seems like a fancier female orcs rooms. It has a mirror, makeup, and a comb and brush set. Andyra takes the comb and brush set as the party moves on. The next room has four female orcs that seem to have been alerted by the battle with the targ. It does not help them though as they are killed quickly. The group then finds a door where it sounds like battle is going on. Deciding to avoid it, the party sweeps through the other rooms, killing several sleeping orcs. Finding two doorways into the room with noises coming out of it, the party decides to enter from both sides, thinking the sound of battle would alert the other party that consists of Andyra, Gilgamesh, and Nasmir. Unfortunately, they do not hear anything when the battle start and hesitate to enter the door. THe other party has killed quite a few of the Ogrillon that occupied the room that were scuffling with eath other in contests of strength. After half of them are killed, Gilgamesh signals Andyra to open the door, which she does. Both Gilgamesh and Nasmir charge in, relieving some of the pressure from the other party, which does the trick. They finish off the ogrillon with little difficulty. They then move to the rear of the fort where a tower is with a look out, asleep. He is dispatched. Finding nothing in the other rooms, the party prepares to attack the kitchen.
They charge in finding female orcs, orc children, and human slaves. They attack, quickly killing the females and several of the children. The surviving ones then flee towards the front of the fort. At the urging of the slaves, the party rushes the banquet hall where a feast is happening.
The party quickly realizes that was a stupid idea as they are confronted with a small army of orcs, ogres, an orc shaman, an orc subchief, the orc chieftain and his chieftainess, and a targ. Bobbysocks takes out the shaman quickly as the rest of the party slays several ogres and orcs. Jenner befriends the targ and has him attack ogres. Realizing they are about to be overrun, Andyra calls for a retreat while buffing Dull Knifes AC to assist in the retreat. It works as planned. Unfortunately, Andyra calls for the slaves to follow them, but they do not make it and are cut off from the retreat. Fighting on the stairs, the party is beaten up pretty bad, but with Gilgamesh and Bobby Stocks assisting, the party defeats those that followed. Healing up for a bit and telling the slaves to escape the back door, the party then moves to enter the banquet hall from the west door instead of the north door they used before. As they open it, the party sees an orc escorting a scared chieftainess towards them. Andyra quickly ends the chieftainess with a dagger as Bobby Stocks kills the orc. Howling with rage, the Chieftain commands the rest of the banquet hall to attack, but some still hang back. Crippling the Chieftain, Andyra makes herself his target. The party then sets up for a defensive wall. Sadly, there are too many of the monsters to create an effective one. Bobbystoxs picks off several while Gilgamesh holds off many of them heroically. The orc chieftain brings Andyra down before being killed himself. The ogres and orcs start to go down one by one, but the party also starts going down. Jenner, Andyra, Nasmir, and Bobby Stocks all go down. THe tiger somehow manages his own against five opponents. Dull Knife attempts to rescue Jenner, but just brings him out of danger. He then moves his attentions to Andyra and brings her up. He advises her he is out of healing and the rest is up to her. She then brings Jenner up when Gilgamesh finally goes down. Sensing the danger, she and Dull Knife take out the rest of the monsters. Using her last cure light, she brings Gilgamesh back up in case the four remaining in the banquet hall attack. They seem to be hesitating though. Testing the potions, They find a potion that heals and dumps what is left after Gilgamesh's "taste" into Jenner. He comes back up. They then find another healing potion and bring Nasmir and Bobby Stocks back up. Realizing there are only four left, Andyra urges the weakened party to finish the job. The party steels themselves for the battle and enter the banquet hall for the last time. The party finishes the subchieftain and the three ogres, but Andyra is brought down. After searching the bodies, they find some loot. THey also grab the flan prisoners and return to Fangoria, victorious.
