It turns out to be a naked woodsperson named Bashir or "Batshit" to his friends. He's covered in tattoos, quite filthy, and smells of excrement. He's an acquaintance and dragon chess partner of PD's and is willing to put the word out to the dervish community to help find the goblins we are after. He also hands over a large "problem solver" which he thinks might help us get PD back if we get into a pinch. | It turns out to be a naked woodsperson named Bashir or "Batshit" to his friends.

===Tracking the Orcs=== | |||
The next morning we head out on the tracks of the orcs led by Cinder's dog Tim. The first day of tracking finds us not gaining any ground on the small party of orcs.

The next day the party strikes out at an increased pace, but at the higher speed Tim and Cinder miss spotting a trap that hoists them up into the air in a net.

===Traps!=== | |||
The party moves to either help or be on the lookout. Cinder cuts himself and Tim out of the net, but Tim is knocked out by the fall.

The ogre moves up and skewers Thola with a critical javelin throw. | The party moves to either help or be on the lookout.

The tracks however, are now very fresh and the sound of a man crying can be heard in the woods up ahead. It sounds like the orcs are about a 100 yards ahead. | We set out again at a fast pace and near sunset the orc have multiplied.
