"I never would have thought of that. Smart man indeed. So, we start off questioning the farmers and then figure out who's benefiting from this mess?" says Graxxy.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
As the night grows darker, Ulala hands Gorlok 5g for winning the game of dice. Too inebriated to care at this point, she says: “Looost...fair annd squa-ire! That’s OK! I liiiike u guyz! n.n”
She stands up from the table and makes her way to her drum that is sitting next to a wall, tripping once before reaching it. “I’ll have to pay for drink and board the usual way then!”
*rumble rumble rumble CRASH boom boom taka takka dum da da dum… * Ulala begins to play an energetic beat on her drum that would encourage merrymaking and dance.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
A drunken man stumbles up to Ulala and says "Ah, double dice eh? I used to be the best double dicin' dicer back in the ole Southspur Saloon, but they ousted me to here. *hic*"
Ulala bangs her face on the drum and after a few minutes, is cut off by the bar tender for activities that inhibit an enjoyable atmosphere. Afterwards she plays a round of DDD and wins 1g before she begins to get hazy. The ends in a blast of enjoyment, but the details are lost to time...
The next morning Graxxy tracks down the hungover bunch of adventurers at sunrise. It is debatable at if they were still drunk or not at the time of awakening, especially Loramir whose motionless, voicelessness from the previous night continued into the morning. Some people would start to wonder if he was bewitched, but considering he does most of his talking in combat, it is probably due to the lack of death around him. As the adventures gather, they head west from Odaigo, into the surrounding farm hills outside of town.
Upon closing in on the first farm, a gentle smoke can be seen coming from the horizon. At first it seems that from the house chimney, but upon getting closer and on inspection, it seems to be on of the barns that is smoking, as if it was just recently on fire. Two humanoid figures can be seen outside the barn throwing what appears to be bucket of waters on the barn. The party is currently about 80 feet away on the road...
Graxxy closes in quickly, the two figures, now revealed to be human males. One is a short, chunky body that is slightly hunched. The other is a tall bulky body that stands straight.
Seeing Graxxy approaching the chunky one says to the bulky one "About damn time dem city folk send one dem warriors out 'ere to help us 'gainst these darn nappin orka attacks.." The tall one nods and says to Graxxy "Calm down there good fellow, we have controlled the blaze and it is just a smolder of its original roaring flame. You don't seem to be with the city knights, were you hired to help repel us against this onslaught?"
Percy eyes quirk confusedly as he listens to the farmers. "Good men, the orc threat is being delt with where the orcs always are in the forest where they keep to. We ourselves captured their leader. What orc onslaught are you referring to, as after as many as we have killed I doubt there are many left."
The chunky one looks at Percy "'Whelp I guess they don' send us the scholars from the castle cause if yuns think we just had a barn fire last night to roast some dem boar shanks then I gon's put in a request for a people wit some eyes. Dem orkras came last night and lite this her' place on fir' just after they raid me fields and slaughter me cattle. Lil' bastard aren't evn' eatin' the em either!"
The chunky one looks at Ulala and holds up the bucket and says "Aye' I got ur' water!" Then turns and throws it onto the barn that is still smoking. "Yuns all the same. Showing up. Wantin'. Not helpin'. Always expectin'. We told yuns about this weeks ago and yuns did nothing."
"Rude! How rude! Hey, Gorlok...tell them how rude that was!" ... Ulala's complaints stop in their tracks upon hearing Gorlok's offer. Her face turns pale as she excuses herself briefly behind a nearby tree.
" I am just so surpised no one would want to help these fine gentlemen." Percy mutters sarcastically under his breath before following Graxxy to look over the place. As he catches up to Graxxy he whispers to him, "while I am thoroughly convinced even mere monkeys could completely stump thise buffoons, there remains the fact that there have been actual damages here. Whether they are faking it, some other creature is causing the trouble, or a corrupt government agent, we will have to see, and I am at least concerned we might have a second group of orcs that have shown up."
Percy will follow Graxxy off to look for clues around the barn and residence.

Ulala begins to play an energetic beat on her drum that would encourage merrymaking and dance.
Performance: 22
A drunken man stumbles up to Ulala and says "Ah, double dice eh? I used to be the best double dicin' dicer back in the ole Southspur Saloon, but they ousted me to here. *hic*"
Alright first round for 1g!
Round 1: 1 3
gorlok takes his money, counts it, and grins as he heads to ulala whos now jamming out with her drum.
”oooolala ya drunk girl, youve done overpaid meh ya have...*hic*
he takes 4 gold coins and flips them at the base of her drum as she plays. gorlok turns to face the room of patrons captured by the hypnotic rhythm.
”Aye ya fookin savages! have som respect and toss a coin ta yur bard!”
Gorlok pays her a sly wink before drunkenly making his way back to the bar
After her first song, Ulala takes another swig of beer. Noticing the drunken man approach her, she takes a moment to accept his wager.
DDD Round 1: 1 3
She then continues to play music despite being completely smashed.
"This next one goes out to my new f...friends! ....hic"
*Du-du-du-du-du*

Percy claps as Ulala is taken off the stage. "Bravo! And best luck to many more!"
As the party approaches the farms the next day- "I do hope that smoke is unrelated to what we are here for. I suppose we will soon find out."
Percy will make a perception check to see if he can identify the figures to be farmers.

He will ask Gotrek to attempt as well and motion if they seem to be farmers to him.
Perception6
Percy has made sure the night before to retake his device from Gorlok and alter a bag into a bag of holding.
Gotrek motions that they appear to be farmers.
"They require aid!" Shouts Graxxy as he charges toward the fire.
gorlok closes his eye and rubs his head as graxxy sprints into action.
“enthusiastic that won is eh...hopin fer a quiet mornin aye wus, but no no.
taking a second to build up enough motivation to catch up, gorlok hobbles after his party
”ayem commin, ayem commin”
Graxxy closes in quickly, the two figures, now revealed to be human males. One is a short, chunky body that is slightly hunched. The other is a tall bulky body that stands straight.

Dem orkras came last night and lite this her' place on fir' just after they raid me fields and slaughter me cattle. Lil' bastard aren't evn' eatin' the em either!"
Ulala, who's expression could be mistaken for a vampire's in sunlight, asks: "Could I get some of that water?"
Persuasion: 20
The chunky one looks at Ulala and holds up the bucket and says "Aye' I got ur' water!" Then turns and throws it onto the barn that is still smoking. "Yuns all the same. Showing up. Wantin'. Not helpin'. Always expectin'. We told yuns about this weeks ago and yuns did nothing."
Graxxy listens and anger flares across his face as he has disdain for this type of tactic.
"I'm going to take a look around. Did you see which direction they headed when they left?" says Graxxy
Graxxy looks for tracks.
Survival: 18
gorlok once again digs deep within his beard to reveal a dirty, hair and spit covered water skin to offer to ulala.
“Aye gotcha ooolala, hav a swig if ya want ta”
"Rude! How rude! Hey, Gorlok...tell them how rude that was!"
...
Ulala's complaints stop in their tracks upon hearing Gorlok's offer. Her face turns pale as she excuses herself briefly behind a nearby tree.
Gorlok mean mugs the farmer...
“AYE LADS...tha lady asked yas fer som water...I suggest ya find her som”
