Getting in Place

While Krest, Petra, Frost and Darren head off in one direction, you, Bax, and Syvella head in another.

Syvella leads you and Bax to a small cliff with a view of the main entrance to the Orc camp.

“This is the spot.” She says quietly. “They should be coming into view in maybe… three minutes or so.”

You wait in silence scanning the area below. Even in the dark of night, you faintly detect movement in the trees below. Sure enough, three shadowy figures come into view on the main path. The tallest of which sparks a lantern and holds it aloft.

“There they go.” Bax says unenthusiastically. “Watch he’s gonna start a big speech or something.”

Sure enough Krest begins shouting something at the orcs guarding the main gate. It’s too distant to decipher, but it seems to have drawn a lot of attention. The front gate opens a crack and three orcs come out and begin their approach. Now both sides are yelling and things seem to be heating up. Krest makes what you assume to be a rude gesture which infuriates one of the three orcs who charges him.

Mere steps into his charge the orc slips and lands on his back, his weapon clattering to the ground. Focusing closer you see a sizeable patch of ice separates the two parties, it seems Frost is hiding nearby.

“Seems our distraction is underway, shall we go?” Syvella says gesturing down the hill with her head.
