A ½ ogre approaches and asks about edelmiras name. His name is Ognack, he gives her
A letter;
Dearest love,
I've realised that these giants are taking me to the coast. I'm being sold into slavery. I managed to sneak this note to a passing stranger. I gave him your name and description I hope he finds you. If I understand my captors correctly, they are taking me to Aleksandra. It is across the barren sea. I might never see you again.
Take care of yourself.
Love,
Breggo
Edelmira pays Ognack a platinum peace for the letter.
Traveling east the group skirts a band of orc. Continuing there travel, they find themselves face to face with an Ogre. The ogre stops shaking apples out of a tree in a field to turn and swing at Durand as he charges. Hitting Durand squarely the ogre stops his charge, and roars defiantly at edelmira as his armor deflects two of her arrows. The ogre swings at Durand again knocking him unconscious. Baruch charges in dodging the ogres attack and skewers the ogre with his spear. Edelmira then shoots two more arrows the first missing wildly, the second piercing the ogres heart, killing him. Baruch claims the Ogres greatclub and helps Edelmira with Durand. With Baruch carrying Durand the group doesnt get far before they have to set camp for the night. Camp was set in the forest with Edelmira taking first watch. Edelmira hears two creatures approaching the same direction from which they had traveled. Readying her sword Edelmira waits for them to approach.
Two members of Crulls band (see notes further down) have scouted ahead and caught up to the group.
The two orcs surround the group and attack as Edelmira sounds the alarm. A short battle ensues where Edelmira gets a lucky blind hit and Baruch kicks the other one, they ( the orcs) retreat and edelmira and the group begin to try to put some distance between them as well, concerned they might come back with reinforcements. (current hp of scout orcs are reflected below after one nights rest)
