The hobgoblin sees the group before they can attack, her eyes widening in fear, shrieking and alerting the orcs to their position! Melora sighs and begins to cast a silence spell at the magic user, but before she can utter the words, only the orcs remain as the hobgoblin disappears in a puff of smoke! The orc soldiers fight on, undismayed at being abandoned by their most powerful member. They fight with skill and ferocity, each one proving to be a formidable opponent… but in the end, the combined might of the the team of heroes triumphs over their primal fury. Once the battle is over, Melora and Lorec discuss how odd it is for a hobgoblin to be working with orcs, given their sordid history and mutual distrust of each other. With a growing sense of unease, the four brave champions continue their search deeper into the woods until night eventually falls and they must make camp once more.
