Shiyazthar is agreeable to any arrangement that ensures him a share and full health benefits, though he's certain these dwellers-in-artificial-shelters can't have the health of a good woodsman/trapper. Kavita somnambulishly agrees if directly questioned. (By now, Shiyazthar has returned from bargaining for 2 dozen good arrows and is mildly curious why some party members are huddling with the big ogre.)
"What ho, my friends!" He stretches to clap the two party members on a shoulder each. "What are we discussing? Provisions? There is game aplenty in most directions from here. Is it not so, friend bartender?"

Shiyazthar is filled in on the current question.

Sora and Josiah (Planchet) both say Yes to the first two, but No to the orcs joining . . . not that losing out on the last is a deal-breaker. Sora and Josiah will just keep an eye on the three, in order to be ready for the "sudden and inevitable betrayal." 😎

Ok, everyone voted for the first two items and a significant majority voted to offer the orcs a place in the party. Whoever wants to interact with them can proceed. I will go ahead and stipulate that you find out they are three lawful orcs named in order as follows: #1 Aaryan #2 Arax #3 Ardas

Tuck turns away from the little group and with a small grin on his face glances at the ogre and then away as he makes his way over to the orcs. He introduces himself and outlines the proposal to travel to the northwest. If they are interested, he will then bring up the ogre's proposal and see if that is acceptable to them.

Arax replies for the orcs saying, " We just finished up a run of 6 months as caravan guards and after a couple of weeks off are ready for some new action, your proposal is good and the group big enough to have a chance of success. Thank you for the invitation, we accept." The other two orcs smile and nod their agreement.

Then he says, " We are making an agreement with our ogre bartender for some inside details." He tells them some of the details and invites them to join the group over at the other tables. Once he has introduced them to the group he will then talk with the ogre to obtain the details the ogre says he can provide.

They are agreeable to the deal with the bartender and you introduce them to the group and once everyone is talking (the group and the three orcs) you approach the bartender to finalize the deal.

The ogre says, "I think you will all be satisfied," and leans in to whisper " x y t x y s h k j d f" (See your pms for the translation) and then he continues, " Just have your whole group here tomorrow morning about two hours before I normally open and then you will see. After all you don't want the whole town to hear the details." The ogre returns to polishing the bar and taking orders.

Thinking over what he was just told, Tuck returns to the group.

Herv engages with the orcs, " So you just finished a job guarding caravans, how did that work out?" Arax looks at his brothers, then replies, "Mostly the work is not bad, but it can turn nasty in a hurry and then you earn your pay and then some. Overall it pays the bills, with little to spare, not a job that one can retire from to start a family. How about yo- Wait Tuck is coming back, lets find out what the ogre told him."

Tuck returns to the group and putting on his best face says, "The ogre (Graytusk) says that we should come back in the morning two hours before he normally opens and he can give us the information privately, there are too many ears right now. Why don't we all get a bite to eat and then get any last minute items we need and be ready to hit the road soon. I have a feeling that we should not linger after we meet with old Graytusk."

OOC: Today is the 7th day of Juna at about 5 glasses past noon. Day 1 of your adventure.
Now is the time for everyone to let me know that they are caught up to this point before we proceed. Complete your characters and equipment and settle up any bills and check your remaining coin. If you have any purchases to make, now is the time.
One of the waitresses comes over with a large smile saying, you must have made the boss happy, your meals tonight are on the house.
Once I know that everyone is caught up to this point, then we will proceed with the meeting with Graytusk. If anyone wants to ask about items that are not on the published equipment list, send me a pm about it.
Any other questions ask them now, any comments make them now. Once everyone is ready then we will continue. I know that not everyone can post everyday, so make comments and give directions - send any special instructions to me by email and I will try to not to mess it up.

"It would be useful to know how to prepare, what to carry," interjects Shiyazthar. "We (nodding towards Kavita) travel lightly but would wish to know what would be useful."
Kavita whispers. "Torchlights may be made from brush. Ropes will be needed. And a sturdy shovel. Most of all,"… she unfolds her arms from the table to reveal three 3-sided dice, each with its black face on top, "we shall want for disease-free water. There is illness coming." (Her face is tear-streaked and Shiyazthar leans close to her, touching foreheads.)

(Her face is tear-streaked and Shiyazthar leans close to her, touching foreheads.) As everyone stares they each realize trying to look directly at the dice makes their eyes hurt and their eyes continually are trying to look anywhere else. It looks very strange and warped and their eyes blur.Arax looks at each of his brothers and then they nod and he speaks, " We have heard of elven seers from old stories, but had never seen one. This explains her appearance so odd for an elf. It is a possible event she is seeing. We will need to pay extra attention to where we drink from, since you can't carry that much water with you. We each should have something to boil water in." Kavita shudders and whimpers as the orc speaks. Arax says, "We mean you no harm elfling, whatever troubles you, we mean no harm. Among our people seers are held in high regard and we hold you with that same regard. Our strong right arms will protect and defend you!"

While they claim to be lawful, I'll just wait and see on that.
