Noire was indeed here at the inn, but he seemed preoccupied with a cloaked stranger in a remote corner of the dining room. They were hunched over and talking in hushed voices. Upon seeing Ivan, he got up to greet him while the cloaked figure disappeared into the shadows.

"Ivan! How did the meeting go, man? Did you get to meet the pretty girl elf?"

Ungrog didn't appreciate being ignored, much less belittled. "Take justice out on my hide? I'll skin you and tear you limb from limb first!" The orc raised his axe and howled a vicious war cry. On cue, the whole warband charged at him. The ground rumbled like an earthquake under their feet and his ears rang with the hurricane of their shouts. Their axes fell upon him one and all and whipped through the air at him with unbridled rage.

Such was their fury that the failed to notice another, larger warband forming on the hills behind them.

The Faraway Land

Wait a moment, are there actually very few Orc PCs?

@tex

You're the only one. I had to create a few of my own to make things interesting on the orc side.

@XenoCyanide

Usually by the time I am able to come on there are many posts and I'm not sure what I should be doing.

@MissCapnCrunch

Don't feel overwhelmed by the size and quantity of the posts people put here. Remember, this is a Casual RP, and I don't think anybody will mind if the most you can put out is a few lines. Like XenoCyanide said, do whatever your character would do. The last we saw of Dionaea, she was equipping the items in the chest. After that, Xen gave everyone a day's rest to prepare. He went off to strategize with Sadron while everyone else split and went into town. Realistically speaking, you're not going to notice everything that happened in town, so if you want to join up with someone, just pick somebody that interests you and run with their in-town plotline. Or, if you don't feel like writing, have Dionaea do what needs to be done and go back to the Hill to wait.

That's what I would do, anyway.

Ok, this roleplay is going a bit too quick for me... I uh... I need some help here...

@Darkmoon Angel

Since your last post...
* The Storyteller wished upon the ring that Erudessa have survived the encounter with the Warlock. Nothing happened. It could be interpreted one of two ways: 1) that his wish was impossible, or 2) that what he wished for was already true and needed no further action. His conclusion was #1, that the wish was impossible.
* Sadron put the responsibility for the quest on Xen's shoulders. Xen's first action was to allow everyone a day's rest to prepare. He went off to strategize with Sadron while the others split into town.
* Kaite taught some kids in town how to fight, and subsequently had an encounter with Gorman, an orc Lieutenant, who requested that she join his warband. She has yet to make a decision.
* The Storyteller finally met up with Cuccoruler's character Vert, who apparently met up with some kind of unfortunate (and bloody) accident. Then Xen got involved, and they're now hunting for the culprit.

That's about the gist of things. You didn't miss much.

The half-elf opened her mouth to speak, but nothing came out for several seconds. "Tall tales precipitate high expectations," she remarked at last. "What do you want, Gorman?"

Gorman scratched his chin. "So, uh, the Captain figures that you don't much like elves, and she was wondering if you'd like to join us orcs instead. The pay is really good, and you'll still be fighting the Warlock. Plus, I'm a really big fan of yours. She tells us stories about you and your friends, and it's a real honor to finally meet you. Please come with us? She'll be sooo tickled to have you in her warband."

Gorman folded his hands and widened his eyes. This giant orc was truly, genuinely pleading with her!

Now I don't know if I should have Tiberius go to the town or help Kaite.

@Lord Zee

Erm, both? I thought Kaite was already in town. Or did I read it wrong?

The Faraway Land

Oh snap, we gots an orc in town.

@Lord Zee

Don't worry, he's a professional. It's not for nothing that he became the Captain's lieutenant. Despite his size, he knows how to hide. And unlike his orc brethren in South Fellmore, he's a superior warrior, one of the best in his nation.

@Hawlin
The shadow of something huge suddenly stepped in her way.

It was an orc, and one of the biggest orcs she'd ever laid eyes on. Rippling muscles pulsated underneath his olive-green skin, and his face, or what was left of it, held the bemused expression of one who had seen far too much in life and thought it ridiculous. He picked Kaite up by her chestplate and pulled her within a few inches of his face.

"Mmm. Yes, you're the one she wanted," he murmured aloud to himself. He set her down and crossed his arms. "I'm Gorman. You must be Jericho Kaite, I presume? You're smaller than I thought you'd be."

<Snipped quote by Hawlin>

You can always come see the slaughter behind the inn! Oh what fun it will be!

I'm honestly waiting for someone else to appear at the scene before I try anything. I mean there were screams, plus the figure running away.

@Cuccoruler

@Rekaigan? You could maybe join. Zenovia is in town.

The Faraway Land

Wow, I'm tired of writing this post!
:D

EDIT: And it occurs to me that I didn't include anyone in it.
fml...

@Hawlin

No worries, I'll figure something out. It was fun to read just the same. :)

The Faraway Land

@Hawlin
Dionaea Sycamore (@MissCapnCrunch) spoke to Kaite on page 4. Lots of cool stuff happened after that which would be difficult to summarize in a way that would adequately bring you up to speed.

Also, @Lord Zee, I think Ivan Stormwall (@Darkmoon Angel) asked Tiberius what the "angel lady" wanted with them.
