Orc Attacks on the rise

three nights past, a group of adventurers headed into the wood to investigate a delayed wagon. they found the wagon overturned, its passengers and driver bound and gagged and a pair of orcs as the cause. the party naturally engaged, with several serious injuries between the groups and a victory came for the city dwellers. sadly, one of the orcs had slain all three of the civilians before he joined into the frey.

this marks a severe increase in the orc activity, are the orc hordes preparing to launch another seige towards the city of tol-terias?
