Adventure 2 Session 1 - the Forge of Fury Report

General Summary

Our heroes, having vanquished Belak , returned victorious to Oakhurst. 
Breena "Stumbleduck" Timbers spent some time researching and copying the spells from the recovered scrolls into her spellbook. Gurgeh  became attuned to his sword, Shatterspike, discovering it was particularly effective at doing damage to objects. 
Everyone practiced their new abilities, recovered from their wounds, relaxed in the Inn, and eventually grew bored - some more than others.  
Oakhurst's mayor asked to meet the party, and expressed his concern about the Twig Blights and the The Gulthias Tree, asking the party to be vigilant.
The party discussed the map they had found with Oakhurst's smith, a dwarf.  He told them of the history of the lost citadel of Khundrukar, the dwarven settlement founded by the master smith, Durgeddin the Black.  The citadel had been sacked roughly a century ago, by a warband of orcs, and it's location lost.  If the party have a map, though - who knows what they might find there.
The party decided to travel to Blasingdell, the town mentioned on their map as being near Khundrukar.  They stocked up before leaving, with most of them buying riding horses and Breena buying two donkeys, Haw, and Hee.
After a couple of weeks' travel along the coast, stopping briefly at Neverwinter, Luskan and Mirabar, the party finally approached Blasingdell.  A day or so out, they made camp one night in a pine forest.  There, Gurgeh, on watch, heard a band of orcs moving through the forest.  Rousing the party, they attacked the orcs, defeating them, and recovered a young wolf from a sack being carried by the orcs...
