Battle 1: Ralley's Rogues

Bartoloth “Bart” the Spiteful and his crew arrived in a Caribbean pirate haven where they discovered the latest fad among the noble houses of Europe are the native artifacts scattered among the abandoned ruins and cities. Numerous merchants in the settlement are willing to pay gold in return for these artifacts. With a picture of a fantastic farm in his head, Bart set out into the jungles where he was told several ruins lie.

We Rulez!Not long after, they came across an artificial hill made from huge carved boulders. As they approached the man made hill, Todder “Todd” Grimrung the shaman growls “I smell man flesh” which produced a big toothy grin from Bart. The humans that they encountered were Ralley's Rogues. Both groups raced to take control of the hill and in the ensuing melee, Bart’s crew managed to knock out 4 of the humans causing them to flee for their lives. Two of which were shot down by Pascaul the goblin who was wearing a smug grin until Ballaguthon “Gul” the big’un wacked his head into a tree. Pascaul’s pet squig, Bruce however faired poorly as grievous wounds left it unable to jump. Seeing it limping after a lizard, Gul killed it for lunch.

A search of the hill and surrounding areas turned up several of the native artifacts which was later sold for a tidy sum, some of which Bart used to buy a new pet for Pascaul who named it Bruce II. Gumbo, the goblin selling squigs mentioned that in the jungles there are some items that will bring the bearer extraordinary luck warding them from harm. As a superstitious orc, this interested Bart greatly who sent all his mates out looking for these so called lucky charms. After a full days of search, everyone returned with naught but mosquito bites. All except for Jonaddon “Jonny”. While strolling along a well trod path, he accidentally slipped on a dried leaf and landed facing a 4 leaf clover. Quite happy with his find Jonny returned cheerfully to the ship.
