Zorak's Gambit

During the night, unknown to the others, Zorak snuck away. His intent, to scout the enemy army so that his allies can be prepared in the morning. However, when morning came, he was nowhere to be found. As the GoG were preparing to locate him, the lizardfolk, Krysith, approached the group. She told them that Zorak had successfully killed the slave masters controlling the slave army and conscripted the others to aid. Zorak, had been successful.

The GoG gathered their things and, along with the slaves they had freed from Klagnar's Descent, traveled to meet with Zorak. The orc had already come up with a plan for moving forward; the enemy officers were set to arrive by the afternoon of this day. Zorak proposed that the team hide in the tents and lure the officers in close. Once they were in range, the GoG and the former lizardfolk slaves would attack, destroying the command structure of Scourge's forces.

After several hours of waiting a warforged mounted on a wyvern arrived. He announced to the disguised Zorak that commander Krom would arrive shortly. As he promised, Krom Bopulous arrived less than an hour after. Zorak did a stellar job in ensuring that the commander was close before acting. As the illithid Krom reached out with one of his many mouth tentacles Zorak struck. His first swipe sliced off the tentacle, that was the signal. Vath came charging from his position, hidden in the nearest tent, With a cry he swung his hammer, crushing Krom's leg. As the Illithid lost his balance Zorak plunged his blade into the creatures mouth and through the back of its skull, killing it instantly

The remaining officers did their best, some attempting to flee, but they were outnumbered and surrounded. In seconds the ambush was over and Scourge's officers lay dead on the floor of the cavern.

Following the battle the GoG parted ways with the lizardfolk slaves. Kaszuk, after having convened with his ancestors, offered guidance to the burgeoning tribe. He explained to them that all Semmuanya wants for them is to breed. Make more lizardfolk, who can, in turn, make more lizardfolk. Krysith was skeptical, she wanted to try and free more of the slave lizardfolk, but Kaszuk was able to dissuade her. He explained that, as tribal leader, it was her job to keep her people alive and prosper. Perhaps in a generation or two, when they have the numbers, they can set about freeing the rest of the slave. For now, they must breed.

Scourge's officers are dead, his army is now left without leadership, and the Guardians of Grog are on the offensive.
