Start mapping them out, then.  See which of the new snagas are good at sneaking and send them to scout alone or in pairs.  If the passage starts looking too deep to cross in a day, find a good spot in the caves to camp out at, big enough for everyone.

d6 = (3)
27 Snaga go into the cave... 25 Snaga come out, screaming something about a monster in the cave! A few of the Snaga have blood splattered all over them.

Pick Snaga's are to work in this Mine, and collect some shiny stones.

25 Club snaga are ordered to travel in groups of 5 and keep a watch enemies. 5 Club Orcs apeice will be in command of the Club Snaga Groups. These orcs will be grabbing all that shiny ore laying about and bring them back to camp.

The rest of the Club Orcs will take those books out of the Lord's room and bring it back to our camp.
No reason to have those dumb books around Chieftain Egan. Let us just dispose of them for you.
(Actually bringing them back to me so I can read them for clues)

Enterprise: 3d6>=4f1!6  = (6 2 2 4, 2 successes) = 2

About 50 pounds of iron are brought up from the surface levels of the mines.

You ask one of your orcs for a random book...
It is a tome on sacred geometry and lines of power and magic under the earth. High magic stuff. It is as if a numenorean used to live in this castle.

Send some boys out from the fort with spears, looking for something to hunt. Preferably something big.

d6  = (3) = 3

Your boys find nothing in the barren mountains. But they swear the local wildlife is stalking them rather than the other way round.

Enemies turn:

The hermit ranger sneaks up on and kill 3 of the sentries posted to keep watch on the camp.

Never ever cease communication with your enemies, never ever cease interaction with them, never isolate yourself from them. Never ignore them, relish the time to deal with them, to exercise banter. The biggest mistake one can make is ignoring one's enemies. Go out of your way to pick a fight today.

Order my Orcs with clubs all my Snaga to grab every book and bring it back to camp.

Blame it on the Enemy afterward.


Meanwhile, I'll be puzzling out the "MAGIC" in this book.

You descend down the mines and find... TROLL!!! It is snacking on a couple of your snaga. It sees you have brought more meat loafs for it and advances towards you.

Enterprise roll: 3d6>=4f1!6  = (3 4 3, 1 success) = 1

You plunder all the magic books along with several sturdy furniture items from the Lord's bedroom.

Hit troll.

Power roll: 4d6>=4f1!6  = (2 5 4 5, 3 successes) = 3

You hit the troll as hard as you can with your bone club. it shatters. Several pieces are lodges in the troll's toe. The troll howls with rage.

You pick up one. It says, long ago, mortal men tried to learn the secrets of immortality. But jealous gods sunk their island city. They escaped to middle earth under the refuge of darkness, biding their time to rise again and take their vengeance.

Troll's turn:
d6  = (2) = 2
The troll stumbles and falls on its face. Its toe is still hurting.

Hermit Ranger's turn:
d6  = (5) = 5
The ranger sneaks up on and shanks an Uruk. Its stealth is perfect, and no one notices!

Lets try to take out ranger guy.  Lets start by making it a little harder for him, spread some guards around the area, guarding doorways, passages, etcetera, in groups.  Board up some windows and such and do some patrols around.

d6  = (6) = 6

One of your Snagas scream, just as the a hooded bearded old man dressed as a ranger decapitates him. You give chase, following a trial of blood into the mines.

Eat the Uruk. Into the pot. Gear is taken into inventory.

Meanwhile, we march back to the outpost to sell this iron.
