December 18th: Results and Rain!

Once again, heavy rains settle over the land, and the Dread Lord paces in frustration at the lack of donations to the cause.

Wagons cannot move today.

All random encounters and raids are unaffected by sunlight.

A huge band of orcs shows up to enlist in the forces of the storied warchief Klon Grushnag, only to find his home village reduced to still-smoldering ashes - disappointed, they depart the region in search of orc leaders who can protect their own. [EDIT: This was a GM error.  Had I not misread the orders, there would have been a larger force here.  To make up for the error, these reinforcements are going to show up tomorrow at warchief Klon's field camp wanting to know what's going on around here. He will need to reclaim his home hex before gaining more reinforcements, but this allows for some make-up ruling that doesn't throw the game out of whack.]

Random Encounters

While passing though hex (4,7), the forces of Porcus Orcus discover a Strange Portal down in a sheltered hollow.  A large stone doorway filled with purple glowing mists stands there, and through the ethereal light, the orcs dimly perceive a familiar and dreadful sight - Malturrim.  Any force that starts its day in this hex can opt to enter the portal, which whisks them to Malturrim.  This is a one-way journey.

Carnatium Raids

None

Kor Torrigan Raids

None

Goblintown Raids

Kul of the Dripping Blade smashes into GoblinTown and hauls away 150HD worth of goblins and 200gp worth of loot.  It comes at the cost of 30HD worth of orcs.  Though the town depleted, there is apparently still some fight left in the goblins.

Nirumbee Encounters

The elves, finally spurred to anger by yesterday's raid, put on a show of force.  They dispatch another 150HD worth of elves who again suffer at the hands of the orcs.  Another result of 4 on the 3:1 advantage column spells thier doom, and all fall to the wicked blades of the orcs without inflicting a casualty in return.

Map Moves

Any force that starts its day in hex (4,7) can opt to enter the portal, which whisks them to Malturrim.  This is a one-way journey.
