Session Three Recap

I realize this should have gone out a long tie ago especially since of those of you who actually read this thing one of you actually could have used the update. I'm sorry.

That being said when we last left our heroes they had just made an alliance with the giants of the fangs. Through bribary and dealing the adventurers convinced the giants to help out. The deal was, though, that in exchange for the Giant's assistance the heroes would have to kill the lone orc chieftan resisting the orc pact.

Upon returing to town from the Giants the party got wind of a meeting to take place on South Peak and, with intentions of reconnaissance decided to go using their lone orog representative as cover. On the way to the South Peak the party stopped in Boorbok and were caught in an orc invasion. The heroes managed to escape and continue on their way but the burning town over their shoulders reminded them of the importance of their mission.

Crunk played his part well ingratiating himself with the orc chieftain and challenging a out of place orc to a fight outside of town. The orc turned out to be the elf assassin from the towns, the one the party had originally intended to head off. It turns out he is a quite powerful ally by any estimation. They returned to the orc encampment with a more unified plan and made an agreement with the orc chieftan. He will stay out of the fight but only if his missionaries are allowed to do their work during the fighting. An accord was reached and the party departed to go back to the ruined town.

The town of Boorbok was almost a total loss. bodies and burned homes littered the streets. the few survivors remaining spoke of Uurgoth descending from the mountains and killing the leader of the war party. After Uurgoth barked orders in orc the assembled warriors fell in line and marched from the towns.

As they entered Boothearth after surveying the damage they witnessed the parade of the drow guard. The town's elite guards were leaving for Bear peak to exact revenge for the destruction of Boorbok. They refused to have any non drow join them and the heroes agreed only because they had more pressing matters to attend to. A message was sent to the giants and they should arrive soon. The drow were leaving too soon to allow the giants to join their strike force.

Soon after the Drow left an explosion rocked the city. investigation brought the party to the temple of Pelor where the assembled priests lamented the destruction of their holy symbol. What was once a great focus of Pelor's power and a tool used to restore Boorbok after the Goblin Kobold Wars was now an assortment of metal shards. Further investigation showed that the eye of Gruumsh had been painted onto the holy symbol which corrupted Pelor's conduit and caused the explosion.

Confused and distressed the heroes decided that the time had come to strike hard. The time for thought had passed. As soon as the Giants arrive in town the time will be ripe for Uurgoth's destruction.

Should I go up a level, despite missing 2/4 games?
