The Battle Continues After a bloody skirmish with the frenzied orcs and confronting the thousands strong forces of what acted as a true display of the strength of the Orc Uprising aided by the horrifying minions of Rovagug, the party was rescued from certain defeat by Finn Morgan who appeared to them in his Alchemical Dragon.

After recuperating back at the Army Fortress, the party set out to a known hideout of the Orc forces. Soon they were faced with forces of Orc that attempted to kill them by means of acid spewed from their innards, as well as by means of drowning in a thick, deadly, nauseating substance known only as "goop".

After possessing the captain of the Orc Hideout and using his personal inner thoughts to navigate an escape, they used his body even further to exploit the secrets that lied in his brain to the Army's Commander.

From the information they gathered, they saw many tasks before them, but Diomicles decided to attack the stronghold which housed a strong, magical tower. Diomicles theorized that that tower was the source of the magical interferences they'd previously been suffering, and that gaining control of it was an important next step in winning the war.

With them on their assault they took Viktor, The Prime, and Okrim Lefort. When they landed, the party found the morbid setting of helpless prisoners in line for their death-- a systematic draining of their blood by means of drilling through their eyes and into their heads. All this was being used to power the evil magic of the tower with blood. Guarding the line of prisoners were Orc magi and warriors to ensure that order was kept and that blood continued to fuel the vile magical efforts.

Atop the tower were multiple powerful magi channeling into an even more powerful Aldain who was discovered to be one of the contributing sources of interference to the party's magic users.

After a long, arduous battle that saw the deaths of Okrim, Stark and Viktor among many others, the evil magic of the tower was quelled with its destruction by the party. As Aldain made his escape and survivors of the party were retrieved, it became very clear that this was a hard fought victory in what was sure to be a continuously bloody war.
