Kalvin fires a lance of pure divine energy. Kosh holds the little guy still, all combined, the lance hits the orc square in the face. He screams in pain!

Pai runs up to the Orc hold by Kosh and swings hard three times. She just can't get a break! None of his hard hits find the orc.

Kosh just straight up punches the orc right in the face.

Under this combined assault, he visible deflates and say, I yield. What do you want?

All gain a hero point.

Kosh maintains his grip on the orc. ”Search ‘im!”, he says to the others.

Then he turns back to the orc. ”Let’s start simple”, he says. ”Who are ya, and whatcha doin’ ‘ere?”

The orc stands up a bit straighter and adjusts his glasses, I'm the Sculptor. I've been experimenting on many different forest creatures over the past few months. Almost all of these involve evolving permanent mutations in creatures by exposing them to energy mutagens. While
many of these experiments were ultimately successful, they had an unintended side effect: the creatures became far too bestial and unreliable to use as minions. About 2 months ago, something changed, and Vilree stopped asking me to perform experiments without offering an explanation. The Sculptor took it upon himself to continue the work, with varied and unpredictable results, and a number of creatures escaped. I think the coagulant thing is finally taking shape. It was not what she asked for, but she is sure to be impressed! When it is ready, I will take it to Spite’s Cradle and show it to the mistress myself. I'm just a simple alchemist experimenting in the woods. Sometimes you have to crack a few eggs to make an omelette. I haven't hurt anyone who counted.

As you search is person you find crafter’s eyepiece, lesser bomber’s
eye elixir, orc knuckle dagger, studded leather armor.

What happens next?

Mordack being a back liner waits for someone else to lead the way or make the decision as to where to go next.

”Aroight, next round”, says Kosh, ”Wot’s dis ‘co-wag-lunt’, an’ where’s Spite’s Cradle?”

The orc is visibly depressed at your poor pronunciation and he pinches the bridge of his nose, Some twenty miles west of Etran’s Folly are the foothills at the edge of the Five Kings Mountains my mistress
Vilree has built her fortress. She leads us all from there. As for my COAGULANT I would love to show you in the other room. Would you like to see my latest creation? He perks up at showing off his latest creation.

”Huh. ‘Us all’”, Kosh echoes. ”You mean you an’ yer dead mates, or has she got more henchmen runnin’ around?”

The orc looks at you and scoffs, Oh, This is just my research lab. She's go a whole fortress of orcs to do her bidding. You could always join the winning team! He looks at you all hopefully.

What would the rest of you like to do? Are you listening or looting? Looking in the other room while you have the alchemist held down?

Kalvin sits down to catch his breath, listening to the orc's explanation to Kosh. He pays close attention to the orc, trying to discern any lies they may be telling.

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

You listen carefully, and he's telling the truth. He's really does want to show off his greatest creation.

Also as you sit you see piles of notes, some coin in the corner (30 gp), and lots of basic alchemy gear.

”Winnin’ team, huh?”, asks Kosh. ”An’ how does Vilree win? What’s she playin’ at?”

The orc scoffs, I'm just a lone outpost here. She's the real power in the region. Just you wait, she's going to show you the true mean of power! You might have beaten me, but you won't be her!

You can tell this man is completely infatuated with her. A true believer, through and through.

Not much more here from him. hes just the lacky who makes monsters. Take him in? Kill? Search? What do you want to do next?

”Yeah yeah, we’ll see about dat”, says Kosh, as he ties his hands behind his back. ”Now, let’s see what dis co-wag-lunt is about, an’ if you try anyfing, yer gonna rot in dis hole, got it?”

Coerce
Intimidation: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

He excitedly looks at you and Says follow me!. He then leads you into another room. From the moment the door to this area is opened,
whimpering moans can be heard from the center of the chamber, where a human man is strapped to a large rack. His flesh is missing in places, replaced with large glass and metal cauldrons that seem to be extracting blood from him, mixing that blood with reagents to transform it, then pumping the blood back into the poor man. Around the room, you see see shackles mounted to the wall where previous prisoners must have spent their final moments. As you get closer to the man, he whimpers slightly then shudders violently. After a second he explodes in a torrent of gore. The liquid begins to coagulate together forming a large blob of blood that begins to move toward you.

The sculptor looks at it and says, glorious, beyond expectation!
INIT TIME!
