The White Hand Report

General Summary

Having decided to follow up on the dire, disease-based threat from the orc faithful of Yurtrus, the party plays some festival games, wins some fruit, uncovers a crooked carnie with some sort of shapeshifting talent, then collects a priestly posse to raid the cave of orc disease bombs.   Bishop Smedley, an experienced priest of Gwaeron Windstrom (hunting), takes charge of the orc boy 'Aun' (now known as 'Owen' and leads the party and three other clerics to the cave hideout of this group. Protected by potions of disease immunity, the party go in and start culling the grotesque forms of those empowered by the Orcish pale handed god of decay and destruction. Just as they discover the creatures explode upon death, another figure rushes out from a side tunnel, clawing with a white skinned arm.
