you spend the evening with neela searching the foothills for any traces of life or signs out of the ordinary... it doesn't take long and some loud shouting on the air catches your ear. it sounds deep and gutteral like orcish.

I'd like to hide - is there any bushes or something?

make a stealth check

although there are no bushes around you manage to find cover behind one of the foothills and get a view of some orc gaurds standing outside a cave entrance, they havent noticed you or neela ... yet

"neela do you speak orc? Can you understand what they're saying".

"i do not ssspeak at all" her voice echoes in your mind... "however i undersstand what they are ssssaying. and currently they are arguing about whether or not they'll get to fight anything soon or just be sent to run more errands for someone called Bork, It sounds like he's the cult leader inside performing some sort or ritual..."

I want to go searching for another entrance

you spend the rest of the daylight searching for another entrance to the cave but come up empty handed, darkness falls upon the land. it is now night 

same guards still there?

where?

outside the cave entrance

you left

camp

16... you find a nice place to rest nestled between some boulders, the ground is hard, just as you like it. You fall asleep, but not for long...

A loud growling noise wakes you, and you feel a surge of pain shoot through your right leg as your foot is crushed in the jaw of a beast. You try to shake free, no luck, you're panicked as the reality of the situation sinks in. You begin to make out the detail of the creature as you struggle and fight. 

A bear! You're being eaten by a bear... 

You take 6 points of piercing damage

You are prone and restrained

Roll initiative! 

I grab my scimitars and slash at both sides of the bears face. 6 initiative

You strike at the bear who is too preoccupied trying to devour your foot to notice, roll to hit, ac-11
