back to the swamp

While Mendel the earth-magician was otherwise occupied, Dreyfus, Brigitta, and Strathbogie returned to the place in the swamp where they'd met him-- and at last retrieved the wild centipedes. It went very smoothly, but the pay was meagre.

Perhaps it was in humbling ourselves, that we were prepared to answer the notice posted by the Vipers (one of Mor's orkin clans) recruting warriors to help them rebuff marauding gobbos for the sake of "honner." And Des, the orkin scout, is very charming in his own way. Strathbogie has also been doing some reading in the library and is coming to the conclusion that he has been chosen by the bull god to do great deeds. Reclaiming a part of Mor is likely a part of that.
