"Been a long time since any heroes stopped this way. I wish you well on your quest and all that, Knight. Take a saunter up north, and you'll find plenty of monsters to fight." <br/><br/>Faint through the wood walls and open windows of the tavern came the clatter of a bell, ringing over and over again. <br/><br/>"Speaking of monsters... I'd wager it's another raid. Come on, off we go." One said to his partner. The soldiers of the tavern looked in the vague direction of the sound's source. They rose, hurrying out of the tavern one by one and leaving their meals and drinks on the table. Worried voices arose from those in the tavern that were unarmed, people that looked like common peasants, women and children alike. Soon, it was only those peasants, the Aarakocra, Elf and Knight dwelling within. <br/><br/>The soldiers were trying to take up defensive positions around Sydonia, but the foe was already upon them. Orcs, scores of them and a few ogres in tow. Once outside of the tavern, the sounds of battle rose over the ringing bell. A single for warriors to come to battle, and for everyone else to bar their doors and hide. The three strangers had left the tavern to see what all the commotion was about. Battle was all around, down many different streets and they were lost, as individuals of where to go, to best help stave off the raid. <br/><br/>Before many words could be exchanged between the three, another trio appeared from one alleyway. Three orcs, brandishing axes while one had a javelin. Somehow, some way they made it through the lines of soldiers protecting the town unscathed. In search of slaughter and plunder, with only three adventurers between them and the tavern.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Orcs</div><div class="spoiler_body">Three Orcs, 15 HP, AC13.
