Battle in the Hills

Mid afternoon found a strange contingent of people traveling about the woods together to investigate the movement of orcs north of Trerias.  The gathered company included a knighted son of house Alturien (Orien), The Moore's new bodyguard (Malice), a strange fellow who talked quite a bit (Aticus), and the strange and feral wildling recently returned form the self imposed exile(Azran).

The journey to the place in question was surprisingly short, before they stumbled upon the bait for an ambush. This tactic was later said to serve a man named Veles Stannislav, in his past battles for the current high lord of Terias. The battle too, was surprisingly short, the heroes quickly overpowering the orc ambush, despite their use of a pair of worg in the doing so. 

Credit for the survival can be attributed to quick thinking, tactical training and a solid helping hand. 

The questions remain, however, Why are the orcs stirring once more? Are they going to try and lock down the city again?  Why are they suddenly using ambush tactics from a slighted enemy of the city lord? 

Only time will tell.
