+Locke boxes Cassius, Locke gets an espada point which improves his ability points.
+
+Camilla pulls a potato and puts it back in the sack, the potato is just sitting in the sack... testing the sacks capabilities.
+
+Camilla and Neil go looking for poisonous plants and seem to find something off the path. It has an orange red tint.
+Camilla puts this, phallic... looking object in her mouth.
+
+Locke and Bit fail to make a breakthrough on the steam engine.
+We are traveling and the clouds break and the day looks to be a good travel. The snow stops, sun comes out and all is quiet so far.
+
+Neil and I dimension door up 500 ft, and fall to safety as we observe a clearing 2 days north east.
+We travel going about 2 degrees west so we avoid the clearing after Neil observed a horn sounding somewhere ahead.
+As we travel we find disturbed snow.
+We see a snapped arrow in a tree, Bit looks at the tracks around. Trying to figure out if this was a battle or a hunt.
+Large tracks: orcish, a beast, and some humanoid smaller ones. The distance doesn't indicate there was any kind of urgency, or running involved.
+
+The majority of the tracks came from the West. The exact way we were going to avoid the spec and the bone noise...
+We should probably avoid this route and move back. Unless we want to confront these seemingly violent individuals.
+
+We split up...
+Locke and I stay at a disturbed area. I start a fire and hide in a tree to draw the people out.
+We draw one out, an orc in ragged armor and weapons. He hears a war horn and as he does he pulls out a horn made of bone and prepares to blow into it.
+The orc goes running and Shembulock baits him to a gunpowder bag that Locke planted.
+Locke snipes the bag and the orc is charred meat.
+
+Camilla and Neil make it back to the scene of a dead orc and an empty area.
+
+We regroup and try to get to Cassius and Noxx. Along the way there is a murder scene, we assume this is where they got ambushed.
+
+Locke and Camilla turn into avian creatures and fly ahead to find a group of 9 orcs and a large wolf like creature.
+Locke and Camilla fly ahead and lay a trap for them in their path.
+
+Locke and Camilla are now in combat with all of these fuckers. Bit and Neil are far behind.
