No one arrives to pay tribute to the Dread Lord.

He is not pleased.

Carnatium Raids

Klon moves into the suburbs of Carnatium with a large raiding party and avoids the human patrols.  His raid procures another 280HD worth of slaves and 2,200gp at the cost of 40HD worth of orcs.  It would have been worse, but they are Da Raiderz and get to reroll two of the worst dice.

Lorem Ambushed

Although no longer weighed down with his treasure, Lorem finds himself facing an orcish alliance anyway.  Headed back to his home village to reunite with his fresh troops, he stumbles into a large raiding party of Garuk, Rockbrain, and Khaleb [and Hollyfelled!].  They must be looking to limit his power and perhaps convince a few lads to come over to their team.  Whatever the case, with such odds stacked against him, Lorum has a 50-50 chance of escape and fails. Lorem brings 300HD worth of troops into a fight against Garuk's 180HD, Rockbrain's 60HD, and Khaleb's 80HD, which makes for a 1:1 fight, which gets shifted one column in the attackers' favor due to Rockbrain's skill as a Battlemaster.

With a result of a 6(!) on the attack table, the coalition completely vanquishes Lorem's forces and presses half of them into service.  This amounts to 30HD of orcs and the liberation of 20HD worth of goblin slaves for each of them.  [Update: Lorem himself fights to the death, as all chiefs should.  This leaves Lorem Ipsum with just one subchief and no way to send raiders out into the wilds without leaving his home hex abandoned.]

[Second update:  I missed that Hollyfelled participated in the fight and looting of Lorem's forces, too. His presence wouldn't have changed things, but to compensate for my error, we'll say he arrives in time to round up a few scattered survivors as well.]

OghmaTown 

Kris Karnhell and Porcus Orcus share the ruins of Oghma's village.  To the surprise of Porcus, an expected band of reinforcements do not arrive - they arrive at his home hex four days to the south.  His plan to sieze Oghma's village for his own has run into the catch that he doesn't control the ruined village - he shares it with the forces of Kris Karnhell and can't properly claim it as his new and improved home hex!

The two Orc leaders, Porcus and Karnhell, spend the day snarling and posturing and doing all the warrior posturing that makes up the bulk of orc negotiations before settling on a suitable bargain.  Plans are laid, and the day ends with a proper victory feast.
