Battlemap: Agarnoth's Hold (40x30)
Agarnoth's Hold A small trail leads you meandering through the dreary swamp of Blackmire before you arrive at the foreboding wooden gates of Agarnoth's Hold. A palisade has been erected¸ using old stone pillars in the design and with series of wooden stakes lining the outer walls. Two large animal skulls sit atop the gates pillars¸ leering down at you with malice. Inside the holds walls lie many barrels¸ presumably stock taken from recent raids as well as two tents by the fire place. A shrine sits atop a stone pedestal surrounded by bones and crowned by a strange spell book and a fetish. Two paths lead you into separate parts of a shallow cave¸ one room contains a large skull flanked by two fire pits and more piles of bones as well as wooden stakes. The other path leads through a small room and into a larger sleeping and eating area where hay¸ leather bedding and hammocks are. Adventure seed Within the swamp of Blackmire lies the personal hold of the orc war chief Agarnoth. Built into a shallow cave on the outskirts of the orcish village of the Skulltakers the war chief uses this hold for feasts¸ sacrifices and meetings most foul. Regional spies have come back with reports that the war chief is holding a grand feast with leaders from the other orcish tribes soon¸ he intends to unite them under his banner¸ destroy the nearby human settlement and then push down further into the human kingdom with the united war band. You can not let this happen¸ whether through poisoning food¸ diplomacy¸ or brute force you must stop this meeting and if that means killing everyone¸ so be it! What You Will Receive
