((Can we hear what is being said?))

No you're still about about 80ft away from them. You'd need to move out of the command pillar and toward the group to be able to hear anything.

((Have we cleared the complete tower now? If yes, I'd suggest to move onwards as we still have to find Alric aswell))

Yeah that’s all of it.

((DM? Question: Since LANDMOP is out of useful spells, and does not need to breath, could she sit in the bag of holding and identify all the rest of the items?))

Yeah sure if LANDMOP wants to do that go ahead. 

Are the rest of you approaching this situation with the orcs?

"Looks like something is being decided. We should get closer to find out what is going on. Who is the stealthiest amongst us? I know it is not me - this chain makes me sound like a kraken with bells on it." 

Mark will say, "Cover me and stay in the shadows. I will go up to her. I know her, but it could still get hairy." Mark will then walk up to her with his crossbow on his back, Die Hard still. "Hey, fancy seeing you here in these parts. Need any help with your friend there?" He says with a smile.

LANDMOP will be identifying everything they've collected until the party needs them for something else

As Mark walks up, he hears the two similar looking orc women arguing in orcish. When you hail Rhodvil, she looks surprised, and then worried, to see you. "What in Khyber are you doing here?! Do you understand how dangerous it is? These orcs aren't like me, they aren't Gatekeepers. They worship evil gods from another world, if their commanders find you here they'll likely kill you... or worse. Just stand behind me while I handle this" Rhodvil looks up worriedly at the Command Spire, and the orcs standing near the other female orc all draw their axes when you approach. Rhodvil snarls something in orcish to the other female with the claw, who holds it up to the other orcs. They back down, but it's clear they are just waiting for the order to strike. The two female orcs continue their discussion

What's Mark's plan here? You can't understand what they're arguing about, and Rhodvil doesn't seem immediately keen to let you in on the conversation. She's more focused on whatever they're discussing. 

Erix quickly gives Mark the potion of comprehension so he can understand what is being said (I would have done this before moving towards the talking if I'd had the chance^^)

Zoveldra heeds Mark's warning and stays back. She uses Mind Link and Mind Link Response on him so she can telepathically warn him if she sees any of the orcs moving to strike, and vice versa if he wants to tell the others to come help him.

"Well, I thought stealth was needed but it turns out we are just going to walk up there and but our heads into the conversation. I've got one spell left in me, I hope it doesn't have to be Revivify," grumbles Mome. She pulls out her shortbow and readies to attack someone or something from the shadows, if necessary. 

Zoveldra sets up the mind link, she notes that the orcs want to desperately attack, but are kept at bay by the female orc with the claw. Mark can take the potion and understand the conversation between the orcs. (Also, doesn't The Rouge also have a Helm of Comprehending Languages ?)

Mark listens in on the conversation between the two female orcs, and finds out that the one with the claw is in fact Rhodvil's sister, Garund. Rhodvil has come to this place to retrieve her sister from this strange cult she's joined and take her back to their home in The Eldeen Reaches. However, Garund is adamant she must stay with the Bloodskulls, as she is protecting the children and non-combatants from the ever dangerous situation their leaders are putting them in. Garund looks up at the Command Spire and says, "You must leave now Rhodvil, if the War Chief or his priests find you or your companions here, he won't make concessions for you becasue you are Orcish. They seem to only care now about these Inspired and their City of the Glass Pool."

Is Mark going to get involved in this conversation or let Rhodvil take care of it?

Mark will speak up, "I wouldn't worry about the War Chief if I were you. There really isn't much of a cult left. But the children and non-combants are safe. Can you ask about where their prisoners are?"

The two orc women look at you, Garund responds "What do you mean there's not much left. Where is Ogurkek Bloodfeaster: The War Chief?"
