Chapter 4 : Trouble in the north Report
General Summary
After receiving the mission to investigate the north from Elror Zolus the party were introduced to mercenaries that were hired to help them. The mercenaries included a ship captain named feather, a tiefling warlock named Daga, a tiefling bard named Charles and lastly a samurai. With these new companions, the party went ahead to investigate north but left Tobur behind as he had different plans. In the north, the party saw half a dozen orc ship docked at the island they were supposed to go at. They decided to hide they ship at the back of the mountain away from other ships. While making their way to the marked location on the map they had, they came across an orc patrol and had to dispatch it swiftly. After this, the party successfully managed to sneak past other orc patrols and finally managed to get to the base of the marked mountain. There they saw some orcs guarding the entrance of a cave after sneaking past them they came across an old man surrounded by a lot of dead orcs. While talking with him he told them about the artefact which was a stone with powerful elemental energy fused in it. While talking the old man noticed a huge orc party coming in the cave and told them to go past a hidden door. The party did so and they came across the room where the artefact was supposed to be but it was not there and in the hallway next to it looked like there was a tunnel dug out by the orcs following this they came across a party of orcs one of them had the Water stone. While fighting them the orcs summoned a water elemental. The party successfully managed to kill the two straggler orcs and charmed the orc with the stone. With the orc charmed they managed to get the water stone but when they did he lost control of the water elemental. The party successfully ran away from the water elemental but the old man who was, in reality, a gold dragon came to them. When he realised how his lair was broken into he allowed the party to leave while he distracted the new fleet of orc ships that had arrived, one of which belonged to Yorug.
