Setting: Road to the Fist
Cast: Party, Ubak
.
The party is within sight of the fist, but they still need to cross three miles of winding dirt road that climbs up the side of a fairly steep hill before they reach it. Behind them they can see a small cloud of dust rising, and a quick scan reveals that it is caused by nearly fifty Orokh running in their direction.
The goal here is to instill a little tension. The PCs know the Orokh are approaching, and that they can’t possibly outrun them. So what do they do?

Events
- As the Orokh approach have the party make a DC 15 perception check. Success will show that Tobius is with the Orokh, either riding his new bison or running with the tribe depending on what Max would do. He is running next to Ubak.
- Ubak and Tobius break away from the pack when it is about fifty yards away. They approach the group and Ubak addresses Grond. “I see you Grond Longspear. I am Ubak of the Red Spear, shield of my people.”
- Ubak will explain why he has come, to escort Tobius to ensure that news reaches The Fist about the growing Bone Eater threat. He asks Tobius to send word or visit the tribe once they know whether the Fist will help deal with the Bone Eaters.
- After the exchange Ubak will return to the rest of the Orokh, who studiously avoid looking at the human members of the party. They head back the direction they came leaving the PCs to continue their journey to the Fist.
