Gilrad and the Villagers
As we returned to the village we noticed that the leader was talking to a small group of Saloroc (orcs) near the temple. They noticed us and started pointing, but did not seem overly worried or aggressive. The leader was obviously reassuring them that we were friends and no threat. As we got closer we could see that the leader was paying them for something. Falcor decided to find somewhere else to be, not having had much luck with the orcs before, but Arad and I approached them.
The leader welcomed us, and explained that he had been arranging for food and supplies. He introduced Team Chief Grouk of Clan Red Skull. We greeted him warmly, saying that would be friends. He asked if Arad would help them as Melak had done before, to which he said he would try and live up to Melak's legacy. They said that they were born in darkness, as we were born in light, but we were all born of the same mother. Melak had helped their clan leader in the past, which is how they had become trading partners and allies. He also said that The Mother taught them that each much fend for themselves.
The Red Skull Clan were recent arrivals, and their ancestral clan lands lay to the west. They had been driven by darkness from those lands, and were accomplished sea travelers. They warned that there was a great evil in the land, as though death were amongst the living. Not many of their fellow clans had chosen to follow the light, and many were seduced by the dark.
Arad grasped Grouk's offered hand, then a colleague gave Grouk a wineskin; he sprinkled liquor over their hands, took a swig and offered it to Arad. I could smell it from a few paces away, and it must have had some strength to it. Arad took a swig anyway, coughing a little at the bitter, raw taste, but showing respect for the ritual. Arad said that he welcomed this alliance, as friends are hard to find in these dark times. Arad also offered a pot of healing ointment, which was gratefully accepted with much thanks - it was obviously of great worth to them. They then said that they had to leave if they were to arrange for the supplies to be brought to Gilrad (now we had a name for the human leader, as nobody had cared to ask). The small band turned and left quickly, but at least we had reforged the link between them and the village.
