Videric left the horse he had got from Lady Namaste to the back room
of Deepwater's Arts Collage. He took a look at the main hall of the empty school, then walked towards the teacher's
table. Carefully he placed a knife under the table, and mumbled to himself quietly: "Just in case". He did not feel
very safe after the orc diplomat had been ambushing the caravan. Last Thursdays loose was no means a small one, and
although he was forgiven by the Lord Namaste, the value of jewels was still from his own bank box. And now that
irritating orc had nerves to thank him for the goods he stole, if only Videric could track his goods back. Maybe,
just maybe with help of this meeting he could get his jewels back.
He took a comfortable seat at the teachers chair and started to wait for people
to show up for the meeting. After few moments the double doors of the collage
opened and Lady Asaka came in. She was working for Fauna as a cook and waitress
at the Owl's Eye. Videric smiled and welcomed her, ironically she did not know
of the meeting, but was still happy to join. Shortly after some other people
came such as Frank Buck, Zuleika and Eliohan Dana'el). During the meeting
Alexandra and Elenwe also arrived.
Videric opened the meeting with few words about the orc raids.
Then Eliohan was asked to speak at front of the crowd as he was the only
witness present who was at Deepwater when the last night's attack took place. He
told of huge horde orcs and their hireling attacking the town, and how the horde
hard many ogre lords with them. After comparing the attack and the one caravan
had experienced a certain similarity was noticed; the orc diplomat always sends
weaker ones first to weaken the victims and after that would follow two or so
waves of more stronger solders.
Other good idea that Videric was most interested in the meeting was the scout
party. It mission would be to seek more information of this orc lord before
Thursdays caravan. It was agreed to have a small scout party shall seek
information about Fargtoth's plans. Tuesday evening was set to be the day for the
scout party to gather.
The meeting ended hopeful atmosphere, maybe the scouts could find something
before Thursdays caravan.
