Hai Gaiz. Glad to be here.<br/><br/>As for how Karsh shows up - maybe he's been tracking and following Lord Jakov, intending to kill him? His ultimate goal is to kill the Count, since non-orcs shouldn't be worshipping orcish gods - but it wouldn't be an unreasonable misconception for him to assume all the Count's servants were also cultists of the Darktongue. It could also explain Jakov's panicked flight...he's not just running from a sacrifice, he mistook the sounds of Karsh hunting him for a minion of the Count hunting him.<br/><br/>As long as no one shoots-to-kill on sight, we should be able to make it work once the witches see the Lord's pursuer is actually an orcish shaman, and the orc sees his 'quarry' has possible allies to stay his hand and talk first.
