MTG Salvation

As the Mages get closer the ritual continues. The female draws closer to the Orc with face paint.

OOC: Need one more roll from the two of you. It needs to beat a 5 again.

The Orc looks around for a long moment and then returns to focusing on the drums. None of the other seem to have notice your movements at all.

OOC: This just is not going your way, is it?

One of the Orcs on outer edge of the drum circle hears a strange sound over drums and looks in Xiras' general direction.

OOC: One more chance. Spot vs stealth from just JD

As the Xiras makes his way across the open ground the ritual continues.

OOC: Orcs' spot check

Need a d20 roll from both as you make your way to cover. It must best the above roll or you will be spotted.

The direct path in front of the Mages is completely open ground. To the east side there is a large amount of brush, potentially useful as cover, that would allow them to get within a hundred yards or so. While it is not very dense there is a lot of it. To the west is a large tree which appears large enough for both of them to hide behind. It is about 25 yards away from the Orcs, but there is only sparse cover for them to be able to get to it.

As Kam moved forward a scantly clad female Orc made her way from just outside the Mage's viewing range. She is holding her hands out in front of her and has something shiny resting in them.

Just past the ridge Xiras sees a gathering of Ogres and Orcs dancing around what looks to be a stone head that is half buried in the ground. A small group of them are playing some rudimentary looking drums. A heavyset Orc white face paint sits on top of the stone head, with a small bowl in his hands that he is gazing into.

As they come up to a ridge the drumming becomes even louder and if they listen closely they can hear guttural roars as well.

Kam's worried looks back are never met as the pair moves into the mountains. As they make their way deeper into the mountains they start to hear a steady drumming sound that seems to be coming from the mountain itself.

Both paths head up into the mountains and disappear behind ridges about the same point of elevation. The Eastern path has a lot of Goblins tracks and no Ogre ones. The Western one has Ogre track, but no Goblin tracks. Both of them seem to have an equal amount of Orc tracks.

Now of the path they move quickly. They soon find themselves at the edge of the forest and staring up into the mountains. As they make their way into the mountains they find themselves at a fork in the road. One way heads to the North-East and the other to the North-West.

The duo heads north into the forest. Their travel is peaceful and there are no signs that the Goblins have taken up following them. The soon come across a path in the middle of the woods. It appears to be well traveled by the local inhabitants: Goblins, Orcs and Ogres.

The Goblin fighters are fell by the Knights' spears. As the Knights fell back the other Goblins roar and hiss. They seems to argue for a moment, pushing and shoving each other around. After they have seemed to reach an agreement they start to hiss and growl at the Mages as they back away from them and into the forest.

The Chieftian tries to defend itself, but to no avail. He quickly finds that the Knight's spear is through his gut. The others roar angrily, now with all of their attention towards Kam. They charge after him, blades and fists ready.

OOC: Pass turn.
