[Sellswords] Battle Report: The warband of Grogmilda

Today I played the sixth scenario of my Solo campaign of "Sellswords & Spellslingers". The basic scenario was ispired, with some minor changes, from the rulebook: Orcs and slippery stones pg44.

A small warband of Orcs and Goblins harass the villages of a petty lord. A bounty will be paid for each greenskin slained.

Grogmilda, the female half orc chieftain was contemplating the embers of the small hearth, while her orc lieutenant grunted nervously. Some voices came from the west, tales about a purple sorcerer accompanied by some servants that was burning all the greenskins he met. 
Grogmilda: "The purple sorcerer is close, I feel it... we must be ready to fight him..." 
Her lieutenant orc answered affirmatively with a grunt and a nod.

  1. You know, I think I like Grogmilda. It will be interesting to see how things go with her "on the team." At least temporarily.
