GM: Hydranis
PCs: Monty, Lyra, Mizu
The session began with the party leaving the safety of the cave entrance and heading south to search for the missing key. After several hours of travel south Mizu spotted smoke ahead. He crept forward to inspect the source. Upon his return we learned that a large group of Orcs was camped ahead. We deliberated on what to do and ultimately decided that a diplomatic approach would be best. Mizu crept up to hide as Monty cast Tongues on Lyra so that she could communicate and Comprehend Languages on himself.
Lyra approached the camp and stopped as she spotted an Orc sentry, she called out a greeting and asked to speak with the camp leader. Her instincts proved correct and the Orc begrudgingly fetched his leader. Their leader was non other than the Warchief Gulm of the Xago tribe who came forward with a host of warriors. Lyra attempted to negotiate with the Orc leader and explained their plight with the key and the cave. Gulm was not impressed by Lyra's comparison of Orc and Elven warriors and believed his warriors had nothing to gain from the caves. Lyra pressed her point and finally Gulm produced the key. The party was elated, however Gulm's treachery was soon evident as he ordered his entire camp to attack.
A desperate and savage battle took place. Mizu struck form the shadows and swiftly eliminated several Orcs as Lyra took up a defensive position. Monty stood nearby and managed to kill and stun several Orcs with a Shout spell. Mizu killed several more with his flaming attacks. Lyra weathered several hits from the Orcs, and managed to keep herself alive with her Lay on Hands ability. A lucky shot with the Jolter scored a critical hit and killed 4 orcs in a line.
Seemingly no longer amused, Gulm called off his minions and the party fled back towards the cave, key in hand. They then healed themselves and rested before entering the Cave of Trials.
