3. Ore Delivery
After receiving reassurance from the Order general that a horse will be provided for the transport of the ore shipment, the party stayed the rest of the day at the mine overseer’s house. The night continued uneventfully aside from a conversation between Varris and the general. Come morning, other members of the Order of Avalon arrive to secure the mines. The party began their trek back to Duford, though on the way, they found a band of marauding orcs picking away at the remains of what appeared to have been a wagon. After a bloody fight, the adventurers defeated the marauders before continuing their way back to the town.
In Duford, another crowd had gathered in the square with gripes about recent orc attacks. The party, with a display of the orc head on their wagon, caught some gazes and whispers before proceeding back to the inn. With the ores returned to Grenthor, the grateful dwarf repaid them for their services before offering another assignment of escorting him and his wares to Aldeville in a week’s time. The party seemed keen on the offer but, with at least a week’s wait, continued to tend to their business in Duford. Varris attempted to find the Cloaks in the town to no success, while the remaining party members relax as Terryflump’s Troupe put on one of their last shows. With their stay at the inn paid for the foreseeable future, the adventurers rested for the night.
