Concocting a clever plan the BMG sneak into ruined Fortress of Cyolonore.

Firstly they scout and plan over a number of days! (I know we were all surprised)

100 Orcs from different tribes continue to arrive at Cyolonore.

The BMG learn the Ojasi sent here by the Ojasi Home Leadership are here to confirm the many treaties under the seal of the Great Treaty of Yavimayan Orc.

The Ojasi have set up in the ruins of Cyolonore, an elven city destroyed at the end of an elven civil war 500 years ago between the Houses of Liodon and Feydor.

There is also a sweet whisper in Dwayne's ear of a ruby clad Witch Queen - Emtariath, he is intrigued and Dawn is unhappy.

The Ojasi leadership here includes:

• Field Marshall Durob Guralar
• High Constable Uzgmmok Uzgafim (keeping and maintenance of armaments)
• Constable Rugdamul Gatimph (lead Arcanist, Shaman, Handler, Spotter)
• Constable Glusrul Orbhug (lead 4 peers)
• Peer Ogolmorz Shuzzor (lead 5 grunts)
• Peer Bugadumph Burogash (lead 5 grunts)
• Peer Hansh Muruolg (lead 5 grunts)
• Peer Snamok Bugk (lead 5 grunts)
• Arcanist Ulmumol Kharhash
• Shaman Uraghulakh Lurnbul
• Handler Bogrh Shammgog (Trolls, Wolf Trolls, Troll raptors)
• Finder Hanzamph Magrob (leads 5 spotters)

Dwayne and Grundark and frustrated by the lack of combat as the they want to smash Orcs but realising they are hopelessly outnumbered if it came to that they remain ready, and maybe a little willing to fail the odd stealth check if required too.

Aware of a great gathering now that all the Orc tribes who have submitted have each sent 100 warriors to directly serve the Ojasi, At night the re is a display of fireworks and the Grand Marshall ignites the fires of war within the Orcs with his proclamations:

"Comrades, arise! Look above and see that the end has come.
We stand upon the ruins of our ancient enemy, the watchers of the Sapphire Crown.
Now we strike against those that would stand on our corpses to avoid the flood of impending catastrophe.
That would make our bodies a living wall to barricade themselves behind as the walls between worlds come crashing down and the fearful symmetry of the Spaces unravels.
Now is the day.
Now is the hour.
Let every Orc throughout Yavimaya arise and join our brothers in the deep who as we speak ascend towards the light.
Our days living in the shadows are ending.
No more will be oppressed
Our suffering, our persecution is ended
Arise.
We children of Grumush; our day is now!"

Except for a few patrolling guards, the fortress is empty and the BMG, stealthy and clumsy alike enter the fortress.

With some luck, a little planning and clever tactics they get themselves a copy of the Ojasi-Helegu treaty. They cannot steal the well protected master version, but do not steal an abridged copy written (in Orcish) for easier casual reading. Even this is magically sealed and warded, but there ). From the many scattered documents written in Orcish the BMG put together an overview of the Ojasi plan:
• The Ojasi are mercenaries in pay of the Silver Host Khanate
• Viceroy Diban Tilbu name is on the titles presented to the Ojasi; he is the highest adviser to the Jumulka Khan of the Silver Host
• Arranging by force, bribery, gifts and promises peace treaties among the larger Orc tribes
• Included in the treaties are allowances of the migration of the other Orc tribes if they’re travelling under the seal of the Ojasi
• Will use the Orcs to strike at the eastern flank of the Jorentes Kingdom, disrupt trade & travel through the Yavimayan Forest, raid into Serric territories, burn the estates of any Steelhold City-States that support Jorentes and/or seize ports on the Azul Sea coast
• Their main aim however, when the time is right, will be to unite the Yavimayan Orcs as an Orc horde to assault the upper reaches of the Dwarven Kingdoms of Karkoram, Darnulir, Kurwuhrum, Halborimm and Gurnbadihr
• So far most of the Orc Clan Chiefs have been promised the title of War Chieftain; the Ojasi have yet to decide who they will elevate to that position, but will make a strategic decision at the time

Silver Host – Ojasi Alliance
• Silver Host-Ojasi Alliance
• An agreement declaring that alliance exists between Ojasi of Fel Voggoth and the Khaganate of the Silver Host
• Be it enacted by Viceroy Dilban Tilbu , 1st servant to the Great Khagan Jumulka and Grand Marshall Rartuck Deathband, foremost among the Ojasi
• First. That the Silver Host - Ojasi alliance is declared to exist, and has existed since the fifteenth day of the Summertide in the Year 1471
• Second. That the Ojasi and Silver Host will be united to bring about the destruction of all nations from the Blue Host to the Radiant Sea
• Third. That the Ojasi and Silver Host will follow the war instructions declared at the Conclave of the Khaganate in the Deepwinter of 1473

The failed ritual lead to the ruination of the Liodan and led to the surviving Liodan to follow the tenants of the Archdevils
Indin Fox
Timetable for raids against the Steelhold city-states

Some of the Kingdoms commit to support Jorentes against the Orcs
None of the Kingdoms commit to support Jorentes against the Orcs
The secret routes to be held by the Ojasi in northern Jorentes and disposition of forces
What to do, depending on which cities were attacked first

Magical duplicate masterkey to the Dwarven stronghold of Karkoram – attuned to the Field Marshall
Correspondence between the Ojasi and the Deep Orcs – complete blue prints of Karkoram, the expected military forces
Essen’s brother is a captive of the Ojasi – got in too deep with the wrong people and it was either disgrace his whole family or commit to servitude of the Ojasi

-Silver Host – Ojasi Alliance
+After a conversation with Essen's brother and other insights, the BMG descend down beneath the ruins of the Cyolonore to a muddy pit.  A deeply weathered , squat stone tower is embedded between the muddy floor and the rocky ceiling.  Oversized copper nails have been pounded into the tower around the top and beneath the mud.  This is one of the Witches Pin used by Emtariath to distribute herself among the different places during the failed Hecate ritual.  This pin was to secure part of herself to the Nine Hells.
