The party has soundly defeated the pack of bandits and mounted their heads on sticks. They continue along the plains towards Old Durnick.

At midday they come upon a large stand of trees and see smoke on the horizon. They continue around the woods. They come to a clearing to see the town completely destroyed. Two bonfires burn at the center and the town’s silo is disused and covered with a tarp.

Nadia immediately breaks down in tears. The party sees a greenskin coming out of a building nearby. Sarthisis pelts him with an ice bolt and Nadia slashes him with her sword. She continues to smash his inert body even though he is most certainly dead. Eilenos calls “Hey, we were going to question him!” She gives him the evil eye and continues smashing the orc’s corpse.

Sarthisis rushes into a nearby building and finds nothing except a pair of fine boots. Eilenos goes to comfort Nadia ans she breaks down in tears.

The group ties off the cart in a clearing nearby and continues towards the town clandestinely. Sarthisis and Aliga (the bird) sneak into the town quickly. Sarthisis uses a healing spell to tell how many orcs are in each building. He signals the numbers to Eilenos.

Sarthisis, Aliga and Krodmich sneak into one of the buildings and slash the sleeping orcs’ throats. They move to another building across the street and hear fighting inside. They burst in and dispatch them handily.

The party reconvenes and Nadia informs them of the specifics of the town. She assists in going into another building to kill more of the orcs. The party moves to the temple and it smells horrible. Eilenos peers through a window and sees three orcs inside praying. The party tosses two flasks of oil inside and the orcs start on fire. Eilenos runs to the front and blocks the doorway with his shield and prevents them from escaping. They are killed and their shrine to Grom (covered in feces) is destroyed. Eilenos hacks the head off of the statue with his sword.

The party moves towards the farm in the northeast corner of the town, and as they do so they go past the graveyard and see that it is mostly unmolested. Eilenos senses evil here, and it appears that some graves have been dug up. We wait to investigate and go to the farmhouse. From there we see orcs patrolling the area. We also see a Giant’s head protruding from a silo tent.

The group continues to the tailor’s building and rush in. There is nothing in the main room but an ogre is in the back room, who is attacked and killed. Krodmich takes the ogre’s giant mattock even though it is four times his size.

The party moves on to the Town Hall. They peek into the window and it appears to be a dining room. There are six orcs feasting on what appears to be human body parts. The party rushes in to attack, and Nadia calls out that one of them has a horn at his belt. Before the party can get to him he reaches for the horn and blows it to call in reinforcements. The party kills him and his five friends.

Porodo rushes outside to take on any reinforcements. Six orcs, two with bows are approaching. He uses the “roar” spell on them and they all flee except for two. Another ogre crushes one of those fleeing as he approaches and runs into the battle. Porodo dips an arrow in poison and fires it into his chest. The others join Porodo and the enemies are killed. The party loots their bodies, Sarthisis takes the leader’s horn.

Eilenos finds a mgic belt with Grom’s image, it is magical and helps to increase his strength. He decides to take it despite the fact that it is an item of Grom, or perhaps because it is so it can be used against the agents of Grom.
