Orc raid

Session XII, 4/28- 6/3

A little rest and recuperation was in order. The party stayed put for a monthlong respite in the elven village. At the end of the month, Xavier learned that his elven mother's village to the north had recently been attacked by a band of orcs led by Tol-rag, a familiar name. The party went to the village, tracked the brigands to their camp, and ambushed them. The bandits consisted of ten tanurruk (1/2 fiend-orcs), an orc druid and our old nemesis Tol-rag. With clever tactics and a judicious use of magic, the party overcomes great odds to win the day.

During the fight, there are a few tense moments; one in particular was when Xavier's nifty boots revealed a taunting curse with a double 's' symbol, with one backward. The boots did not quicken his speed, but instead held him in place as the fight wound down. No permanent harm was done, but no one likes being cursed. The group focused on felling the fleeing leader--and in doing so determined that he was a fraud, dressed as the infamous orc leader. What does this portend?
