The trail led Alieo (as well as the couple following the elf's trail) almost a mile north through the woods, until the forest opened up suddenly and the terrain dipped sharply down into a valley. Below were dozens of tents with perhaps hundreds of orcs and half as many wargs milling about. The trail that Alieo had been following showed that something had been dragged down the hill directly to the encampment. [img=http://i61.servimg.com/u/f61/09/01/98/65/camp_o10.jpg]
