The New Remnant

What's that Oliver? I can't read magic... Aizashi and I found a magic item, we'll be back in a moment.

Elyse shouts back to Oliver and the party. She keeps watch over Aizashi as they try to retrieve the magic item or to pull them back if any of those Orc parts start animating.

As everyone is celebrating their discoveries, and right after Aizashi successfully controls his gag reflex to retrieve the magic item (which is an armband of some kind), you all hear some loud banging noises coming from outside the temple in the direction of where you had seen the orcs.When you get to the edge of the floor you are on, you see that what the orcs were apparently doing was packing up to leave the Remnant. The loud noises are them opening the doors to the stable building they were using to pack up to get out. They are using three wagons, with two draft horses each, to carry what they want to carry and are already in the process of leaving the Remnant.

"Well how about that. Must be scared of the hag."

In slight surprise Aizashi will watch the Orcs for a while to try and see if they are just moving on or if they are perhaps fleeing. Once he has studied the orcs for a while he scans the horizon.

You all stand at the archway, looking down on the orcs. You can see they have three wagons, and there are around two dozen orcs around the wagons. Presumably, there are a couple more per wagon, too. They don't seem to have much of their swagger as they head to the gate.

Assuming you just watch for a little longer, they simply exit from the southern gate, and start heading west from there. They are in no particular rush, but they do seem to have quite a bit of determination as they set out. Looking closer, you see that no one really stands out. Thinking about that, you realize that they don't have any chief or overt leader. They are just moving out as a group. Each performing their role, but no one dressed better than the others, and no one barking orders or giving demonstrative leadership. There is one who is leading, but they are not dressed differently, and they are not giving orders; just giving direction.

"Hmmmm, maybe their leader was the dead orc we found earlier."

"Well now that we don't have them to worry about we can search and focus on our task at hand."
