I made it out of town, but did not manage to do my post.
However, the hotel where I'm at does have a terminal in the lobby so I will try to write the post for "night falls in the scouting camp" after I get back tonight. I've put up a save for that. I'll also add a lead-in for Makdush speaking with the orcs and them setting out to try and rescue the prisoners. Makdush will have heard that only two guards will be stationed at the prisoner's pit tonight. That's a realistic possibility -- we have a very small contingent of very tired scouts and their numbers were reduced even further by the departure of two. Since Lindir does not require the same amount of sleep, he will realistically be one of the guards.
We need a second guard for the shift when the orcs strike.
Folwren - Any chance that Lindir could name Kwell to do that?
Tevildo has promised to have Azhar describe the other camp getting on the road the next morning, but that won't happen till after the orcs get nabbed.
I've sent a pm to the orcs to plan.
Written in haste....
