There weren't too many of them, so I sent Grom into the fray. Grom had no trouble bashing their little reptile skulls in. I even learned a few tricks while watching.

It was a good victory and a nice start to our adventuring days. We returned to the tavern and told everyone that the road was now safe. A few caravaners gave us some gold for our troubles.
It was our rightful pay, and we needed the money.

We spent several days at the Full Cup Inn as we looked for our next job. There was a dwarf shopkeeper who had a task for us; a couple of orcs had stolen his wife's diamond necklace. We learned that the orcs had a camp just outside of Tornassa.
It wasn't difficult to find the orc encampment. We spoke to the three warriors who were living there, and they said that they took the necklace because the dwarf owed them money for services that they had provided but hadn't been paid for. They claimed to have been working as guards for the dwarf's store. I wasn't sure about this arrangement; perhaps if they had been half-orcs it would have made sense, but full orcs were not reliable and likely wouldn't have been hired.
