Orc weapons aren't easy to use, but they're perfectly suited to our big hitters who don't hit the fatigue stonewall after two turns in combat.
Our patrol starts out very uninteresting and we reach Grollfeste without incident.
Storyfag joins our team. Like a true Bro he's on the run after murdering another man to escape his gambling debts
There's more money to be made in trading trinkets and goods than there is with mercenary work . We also pick up a few good helms and some medium armour.
A dozen Orcs? Go on patrols to avoid Orcs? Fuck it, they're in our way
Or not. The 2nd Grollfeste Company engage them before we get anywhere near.
And the same happens in the battle. We're still wading through the swamp when the Orcs start to crumble.
Stat padding your battle count
Easiest 560 crowns we'll ever make
With five days left we make a detour off the road and discover a bandit's hideout.
Four archers! Luckily they all thunk into our shield-wall
and Andnjorn
Usually I try to crush the melee centre with superior numbers, but I'm going to have to make an adjustment for this battle.
Even with some Bros branching off that doesn't take long at all.
There's soon to only be one raider, Azira delivering the pain with his machete, almost as though he's been practicing with it in his spare time.

The two marksman in the north are still being a pain in my ass and are wearing down Longinus.
And out of the blue, one decides to shoot into the whirling melee and takes down
Andnjord
Having incapacitated our Bro, this ginger bastard and his mate fades into the darkness, escaping our angry mob.
And he thought he was destined for glory
Loot is very nice; two heater shields, two improved ranged weapons and some armour improvements for our lighter guys.
Modron isn't yet at Gondolin levels of bullshit shooting but with +9 Ranged Attack from leveling up he should be a lot closer. His Ranged Defense is doubled and he also gets a good boost to his Health and Initiative.
Ninjerk takes his first steps on the road of not being forced into our shield-wall because he couldn't hit the broadside of a barn.
And Hoodoo is sort of just there.
Unfortunately the bandit camp didn't count towards the number of heads we've claimed. Just fucking cut them off, nobody will know the difference
And straight onto the backwagon we go!
You don't have the luxury of being picky with your food
There's a few sightings of bandits but they're all fleeting.
Doesn't impact our paycheck either way.
