Alzar’s ear ring hears a ton of orcs in the next chamber, and they are talking about defenses, The fleeing orcs ran here. They are close to where Alzar found the orcs and ogres before. He grabs his Crystal Ball and checks out the last room they saw from before, where he snuck in, put six to sleep and killed them, then quickly left. The room cannot see anything beyond it, and nothing is here, not even any light.

He puts the Ball away and moves to the corridor beyond this room. He orders the slave/soldiers to hold up. He suspects that they will all flee once the battle is broken. Alzar moves into the doorway by himself, and quickly surveys the room.

There are tables up, and more than a scre of orcs milling about, with at least one ogre back there. They yell when they see him, and a few sling stones whing in. He casts Hynotism very quickly and commands five orcs to leave their place and follow him, and leaves.

The orcs, have been attacked and destroyed for days. They have had outposts killed, and dozens of their people captured and killed. Now, five of their last group have just calmly walked up and away. I believe a morale check is required, but with a goof chance since their chief is here with them.

They make it.

The five orcs arrive and Alzar asks them to drop their weapons and sit down, and they are quickly tied up, with no weapons left. Alzar decides to play tricks on the orcs. Him and his familiars run up and back to the entrance in the temple area, and go down and retrace their steps. He will appear at the other entrance, and cast sleep. Then have the army appear at the first entrance. It takes about 40 minutes to backtrack and move around and come back to the other side, but he thinks they will be nervous such a long wait.
