he leaves the cave to explore for the day

Once he has fed her (who's name is cassandra) he set out to the entrance of the cave for surely there were more people than just her in the world so her set out to explore for the day and explore he did as he subsequently he sumbled onto the trail of a pack of orc shamans treking to pay respects to their god at his shrine, the golum decided it best to stay as hidden as he can and learn about them first before moving in on them, as he stalked the orc shamans he listened in on their conversation "the tribe should know better than to send so little with us to ostoroths shrine he is our god-king and deserves only the finest we have to offer" says one "bahh the tribes are fools if they think sending more shamans will make up for the lack of prayers" says another, so the golum gets an idea and gathers as much food as he can along the route and sneaks ahead of them leaving it piled in the road. Once the shamans see the pile of food they all hurry over and begin taking all they can carry "oh boy with all this the god-king will surely be impressed" as they are distracted the golum grabs all three in his hands and holds them up so they cannot escape carring them back to the cave and chaining them beside cassandra
