Against the Orc Horde of Gurok

[Algernon's Ghost]

It's time to start thinking of part two of the orc horde. This is a higher level adventure that continues after the orc attack on Dragon Dale and the subsequent assault against Gurok Torg that was eventually blocked by a locked dwarven siege door in the ruins of Branna 'Dur.

A way must be found inside, and the leader of the horde killed before other large, coordinated attacks occur.

We'll do quest planning and announcements here.

*he sits leaning back in a chair grumbling to himself with a furroed brow. His tankard resting balanced upon rotund gut his hands wrapped around its base. Muttering to himself...*

How do y'e break stone tha n'er won'ts t'e be broken?

*after a moment.. his eye twiches....as the corner of his mouth curls up...*

Ye need a wizard....

*he sits laughing loudly to himself in the middle of the tavern..*

I'm interested, but Keth'ryl is level 6. Would my character be accepted to join in?

[Algernon's Ghost]

Level 8 would really be the bare minimum for this. At level 6 you'd be under severe risk of death, and endangering the party that would have to expend extra attention looking after you.

[Amirsyl]

Ok. I had that feeling. Thanks for the reply AG.

I would like to add tho there are RP and Action elements that PC's of lower levels (4-7) can contribute to the plot immensely!

First off, Scouts..
We all cant be patrolling the flats all the time. Eyes to the north are essential to knowing if large groups of orks move form the Torg south either Dale bound or Deep lake pass..

Exploration of the caverns immediately north of the dale to ensure raiders are not inching closer to the dales wall once more or trying to circumvent. Remember there is a cave complex that runs from the from the dale to the flats near the road that the orcs were using during the Dale attack. This is essential to keep a watch on.

Denial of the Aspen mines to the Orcs!.. this is essential. Due to the mid way location of this mine both dales men and Orcs cross steel here as it is one of the riches sources of ore required for weapons. Patrols here are a must, Keldorn himself does this frequently. "Liberating t'e Ore from em Mongrels!"

And finally, good ole fashion payback for Jerods Farm and his Cow! ..Damn orc sons a bitches!...

Just because your PC may not be able to go on one aspect of a quest, as Dales Men/Elf/Dwarf/Hin/Gnome.. we all play our part for the whole!...

//Matyas would be interested in joining in. My play time will be pretty spotty and mostly limited to Sunday/Monday evenings for the next couple of months. So I may just have to participate when my schedule coincides with planned events.

[Hungry Crow]

I have two characters that' would be interested in scouting. How should I go about reporting their findings and where do you want them to look? I hope i can find my way on when other low level PC's are around who want to join me.

If you're organizing other scouts, you should make a new thread to announce that. I'm keeping this one strictly for organizing any events that directly relate to the push to get deeper into the orc lair in Gurok Torg, if there are any further DM-driven major attacks, and/or for cataloging any important information needed about these events. If I organize any lower level scouts or events centered around the orcs, I will post them in their own thread too. Thanks.
