SESSION 262: The Final Battle of the Gangrenous Orcs
A hobo sundered during the concluding battle in orc-town.
Day 210 Continued II (13.21 Orcs): Going towards the smoke plume. The team gets some elevation before the outer wall. It looks like the final squad of orcs along with their remaining leadership. They were making an escape run. Packing general goods and a sizable chest. “That is ours.” “Sure is” “What a bunch of degenerate thieves” “Yup. The worst of the worst. This cannot stand” “Nope”, they made a stealthy approach. The orcs were distracted. Costing them the first of a complete fatality list. The hobos began closing in like a noose. Three orcs, the boss and his two body guards made a dash to escape, with the chest, once the rank and file had engaged our hobos. This did not buy a lot of time. Biff and the fighters were only seconds behind and the orcs were slowed by the chest. The pigmen dropped our loot and turned to fight. The leader Orkorokash was the supreme leader of the village and something of a bad ass was enraged when he came face to face with Biff. As his bodyguards engaged Dolec and Charles, Orko drew his mighty two-handed sword and nearly split Biff in half opening him from hip to forehead. Biff hit the ground an explosion of vital fluids and internals drenching the other combatants, “…Dammit Jim, I’m a rogue not a fighter…”.
This sent the fighters into a rage they dropped their opponents and then sunk their blades deep into the orc boss. With that they had finally eradicated any structured orc presence in the village. Another victory that came with a cost.
Carla rushed to Biff to see if he might be tenaciously clinging to life. Nope. The wound was brutal. The cleric instead began to bind his wounds so that they would lose no more Biff bits as they transported the corpse, “We must return to our lands with urgency. I will attempt to bring him to life once more”. As she wrapped the body the rest of the gang knew their jobs even in the face of loss. Bunny and Saff took guard as the other mooks systematically stripped the orcs of anything that looked valuable or even marginally interesting. The chest remained. Bunny took a quick look and popped it open she and everyone else were enveloped in a large poisonous cloud, “oops”. The gas could have been deadly but perhaps the outdoor diffusion effect undermined its bite. The hobos fell back outside the cloud to hack and vomit out the noxious vapours. Aside from some gagging all ended well. A stack of gold coin and a well-crafted platinum tiara. Not bad.
They readied for departure but something odd was observed in respect to the main gate.
