Chapter 5: Return to the Surface

The orc grunts and nods in response to your explanation, "Silverymoon that way," he says, pointing south.

Hunter basically knows all there is to know of orcish culture, the sum of which is, "King leads until someone stronger comes around, then he becomes king." They also dedicate their lives to Gruumsh One-Eye, the orcish god of war.

The leader continues on his way, not sparing you another glance. The rest of the orcs are a different story, as a few of them growl and a couple even go so far as to spit at you. Within a few minutes, they are moving out of sight.

Your travel over the next couple of days is blissfully uneventful, with only a single instance of a slight drizzle to dull the bright light of the sun. Near the end of the second day, you come to a large road, leading east to Sundabar, and south to Silverymoon (according to the worldly Elfog). In the distance now, you can see the lights of a large city; presumably Silverymoon. You estimate that you could probably reach it by nightfall if you hurried, though it would be quite late by the time you got there.

It doesn't take long before you get close to the city and are able to find a suitable campsite just off the road.
