+ | After running past the orc armies, the party then spent much of the rest | ||
+ | of the night climbing up into the pass - only to arrive at a thorny | ||
+ | barrier around 3am. By this time, the party will have a confidence that | ||
+ | they have put significant time between them and any orcs that may try to | ||
+ | follow them. It is their expectation that the orcs will not catch up to | ||
+ | them before dawn. In the meantime, they will have to think of something | ||
