Entil's Orga Warning

Entil'Zha sent the following report to TMN:

Greetings,

I am posting this in hopes of alerting our community to something that may soon become a dire threat to our town.

Recently, a group that I was with found some bloody scraps of clothing caught on a tree in Camp Dred, by the entrance from the Foothills. Upon further investigation, we came upon a tree that had the phrase "Orga - Sombdi" scratched hurriedly into its trunk.

We suspected that the warning had come from Katpus, and we worried that he was in danger. We traveled through the foothills to his cave, but as usual, he was nowhere to be found. We did, however, come across another tree with the message "84th" freshly carved into its trunk.

Sombdi the 84th. I can only imagine what the Orga are up to this time, but if it has Katpus worried enough to risk his life warning us, I'm sure we won't find it pleasant.

The next day, when we returned to see if Katpus had left us any further clues, we were shocked by what we found: The clothing had been removed, and the trees were uncarved. Everything seemed perfectly normal, but of course we knew it wasn't.

I could imagine the Orga removing the cloth scraps and scratching the dates out, but this? As I see it, this means one of two things:

(a) The Orga and the Tree Giants have allied with one another to do Gaia-knows-what. The Tree Giants seem to be the only group that likely to possess the ability to heal a tree's scarring entirely. I can't think of any two groups less likely to work together, and yet, it seems the evidence speaks for itself.

(b) The Orga have learned some new form of magic. A type of illusion, perhaps, but one that no mystic (to my knowledge) has been able to detect or break. This possibility is very disconcerting. The Orga do not research new magicks, they conquer others and take their knowledge. If the Orga have somehow conquered another group of . . . somethings, then they may have recently learned a wide
variety of new magical trickery.

It should also be noted that when PAG ventured to the Orga Stronghold earlier today, we made it through several snells, but found nothing particularly unusual. No allies, no evidence of the Orga amassing troops (well, any more than usual--it was still enough to kill us pretty thoroughly), and no sign of unusual magical abilities.

At any rate, I'm hoping there will be a strong showing of exiles to defend our town against the Orga menace.

OOC: Sombdi the 84th day of Summer will be on Saturday, February 3rd, from about 6:55am to 12:48pm PST.

I intend to cross-post this to The Sentinel as well, in order to get the word out as quickly as possible. I hope this will not cause any copyright issues.
