Whats on the other side of the lake?

We're looking at the frozen lake.
We tie up and begin our trek across.
We cross, and spot some orcs! They're all bow drawn and have a bead on us, but then....they stop....and leave.
We head and look for the mystery mine.
Yopo takes point and looks for the mine.
We camp at night and are attacked by a swarm of giant rats!
We kill them all, and prepare them and put them in the bag of what's for dinner.
While we're sleeping, we're visited by a knight. But He talks to Bogdan.
Baron Horus Lupercal
He doesn't like rats.
Morning comes, and we find some wagon tracks.
We follow the tracks. We come across a group of men. With Wagons. "I'm John, I'm doing work for the baron of Diedre Bay. You need to leave."
First wagon is full of something, and there's a tarp over it.
Second wagon is empty.
We attempt to stealth to the wagon, and Yopo attacks the guards!
Combat with town guards and miners!
During the combat, Yopo yells "Go to the cave with the porcelain statue!"
Lightface spooks the horse, and it runs away! Lightface chases it, watching for something to bump out.
Something does, and he goes over to it. He grabs a chunk of rock out of a very heavy bag. He leaves the bag.
Orla is on the wagon! She drives it away! Lightface yells out that he has a rock, but she drives off.
 
He then heads for the rendezvous location....
 
He catches up with Yopo, and they try to get Orla
Yopo parks Lightface in a hidey spot, and runs up to catch Orla and the wagon..
They both grab bags of ore on the way back.
 
Then they head back to the cave to try to find Bogdan, but he is gone. They rest, and plan their next actions...
We explore the mine....
Primitive bones tied up on the walls. Human, Dwarf . We get down to the bottom, and find shovels and bags of dirt....and black ore.
They were mining in haste.
 
Large cave, something scared seems to be here.
Feels hallowed. Someone is trying to make this a hallowed pray place.
Lightface attempts to connect "Hello?"
It goes early quiet.
 
Lightface sits down and prays quietly to the darkness.
"Are you the one I'm seeking? Can you help me? We're trying to find someone. It might be you? But if you can, please look after Bogdan."
Yopo and Orla also pray.
The group feels......something.....somethings happening.....
 
The group looks up, and finds a black orc in robes. He's trying to remain nonthreatening.
"My god has decided you wanted to join him."
 
He tells us about his god.
We wish to experience all that life has to give, we like to not work too hard for what we get.
Anger is a weapon you use to only defeat those who need to be defeated.
We like to consume as we have to the fullest measure.
 
"What? Humans are here? Taking rocks?" He goes out and talks with his troops.
"You're not working with us."
 
We go with the orcs, and go to their camp.
We have a few days to join the camp's respite while they prepare to go to war.
 
"This is Ebon Steel.
They will bring it back to our city to make war on the humans in Diedre Bay.

We try to think of a plan where they don't have to go to war.
 
Orla gets put in as an advisor to the Orc army.
The Black Orcs keep us save in their territory.
 
BogDan meets us up with outside the cave with the porcelain statue.
We hug Bogdan!
He tells us he got free when the wagon and met us up at the meetup spot. But the Wagon is taking the long way back to Diedre Bay.
They've seen us, and they will report about us back to the leadership at Diedre Bay. We need to stop them.
We're down Orla as well.
 
So the plan is Army of Orcs assembles outside town. We get the Goblin to talk to the orcs and stop the atack.
The people vote for the goblin. The Goblin is in charge.
 
We get to Diedre Bay, and a goblin comes out and tells us that they've rounded up all the goblins!
Now we're stuck! Enog was arrested first for treason! The plan went south real quick.
They were imprisoned. In Jail!
 
We're gonna sneak into Diedre Bay, hide out, and hire a boat and carry a bunch of goblins out. We're hoping the orc army will be a distraction we can use to go and get into the dungeon to free the goblns.
