Just a reminder from what the farmer said earlier in his conversation
The bulky one looks at the chunky one and says "Go fetch the lass some water. Remember they came to help..." The chunky one mumbles to himself as he walks towards the homestead. The bulky one turns to Gorlok and says "Apologies, we are just exhausted the attacks have happened every other night for the last few weeks and it has just been exhausting on us. We haven't been able to sleep well and I think it is finally starting to get to him.."
A combination of liquid refreshment and rest seem to cure Ulala of her weakened state. Waking with a yawn and arms stretched high, she notices Percy nearby. "Whatcha playing with?" she asks, sitting next to him with her shoulder touching his.
"Oh this is just some ball bearings, I'm sending some magical sparks into them to give them different minor effects. Like this." Percy holds one up and sends a little spark into it, it begins emitting an odor of peppermint. "Just fun little things. I like to play with them to try to get ideas." He takes another in his hand and says, "Hello there."

Ulala's genuine interest in Percy's toy starts to fade after a few hours, as she begins to fidget. After poking at the ground for a few more hours of silence, she readies her drum and begins to play. "This place sure could use some music!" she exclaims with a jump.
The booming sound of the drum's rhythm begins to resonate in the forest.

The night continues as similar to the first night. Bats flew over head as the night went on and large rats came at varying times throughout the night but seemed to get skittish when they approached the gate, and were maybe able to detect Graxxy fidgeting in the night with his chain mail.
"Well this seems to have been a bust. What do you say we go back and speak with the other farmers to see if any other attacks have occurred? Maybe we can find out where this pipe leads to and find a different entrance. " Graxxy asks the group.
The group gathers there things and begins to head back to the farm. Turning around they see the bare naked body of an elf slowly submerging into the water again... Thus the now four adventurers, head back to the farm where they were two days previous.
Upon walking down the road and approaching the house, the burnt remains of the barn can still be seen. The bulky farmer emerges from the house upon approach, dressed for what appears to be a day in the fields. He sees you all approach and he waves to greet you. When the group is within listening distance he begins to speak.
"I must apologize for my actions the other day. I speak on behalf of all the farmers for your help in stopping the attacks. Last night was the first time in a few weeks that the pattern of attacks was disrupted. I guess you finally took it to them orcs.." He says with a smile.
“Truth is we didn’t find any Orcs or anything. We tracked them to a sewer pipe that leads to the city. We waited outside but nothing ever came.” says Graxxy with a sigh.
”We tried forcing our way in but we failed. Brawn didn’t work... Maybe brains will. Any ideas on what to do next Percy?” Graxxy asks.

May have missed it with all the stuff going on.
"Maybe we should have established some way to keep contact with the farmers." Peggy suggests.
A combination of liquid refreshment and rest seem to cure Ulala of her weakened state. Waking with a yawn and arms stretched high, she notices Percy nearby. "Whatcha playing with?" she asks, sitting next to him with her shoulder touching his.
Graxxy slaps his net against his shield and stows it.
”So be it. Let me see that crowbar and show you what a warrior of Tempus can do.”
Graxxy extends his hand to Gorlok.
“Aye! now were talkin!”
gorlok rummages through his mighty beard retrieving a crowbar.
”do yer wurst”
Graxxy grabs the crowbar and places it on the gate. He calls out "TEMPUS" and heaves with all his might.
Strength Check: 17
Advantage Roll: 16
Graxxy fails at prying open the door.
Graxxy falls back his arms aching from exertion.
”This door must be magically enchanted. It’s as sealed as the nine hells!” says Graxxy.
Graxxy hands then crowbar back to Gorlok.
"Oh this is just some ball bearings, I'm sending some magical sparks into them to give them different minor effects. Like this." Percy holds one up and sends a little spark into it, it begins emitting an odor of peppermint. "Just fun little things. I like to play with them to try to get ideas." He takes another in his hand and says, "Hello there."
"Hello there" it responds.
After watching Graxxy struggle with the crowbar, gorlok spits in his hands and stretches his dwarven muscles.
”Aye lad, you gotta get tha right leverage. strength comes from tha legs, yer jus gonna hurt yaself commin at it lik that... let meh hava go.”
strength: 15
Gorlok tries with all his might but he is unable to pry open the door either.
Lorarmir stares silently at Gorlok and Graxxy as he nakedly waltzes down to the river and begins swimming again.
“ooof meh back!!”
defeated, gorlok wobbles back to his spot to lie on the grass.
”imma need a moment lad”
Graxxy breathes a sigh of relief silently glad the Dwarf was unable to best him.
”I told you no mortal could open it!” says Graxxy.
”Let’s wait the fools out. They have to come back sometime” says Graxxy
Perception: 18
Stealth: 8

The night continues as similar to the first night. Bats flew over head as the night went on and large rats came at varying times throughout the night but seemed to get skittish when they approached the gate, and were maybe able to detect Graxxy fidgeting in the night with his chain mail.
There are four more nights until the fair.
"Well this seems to have been a bust. What do you say we go back and speak with the other farmers to see if any other attacks have occurred? Maybe we can find out where this pipe leads to and find a different entrance. " Graxxy asks the group.
“as mooch as ive enjoyed campin under tha stars wit ya lads, aye seh its time to ghet ta werk. off ta tha farmer then?”
