Eggo is Wind-Walking a party including Nickar, Paradoxides, Grettir and his promising young huscarle, Giziar, to the north of Chittagong. They spot a suspicious-looking mule-train heading into the Wilds. Recently, Orcs all over the Chittagong region seem to be coming into possession of good weapons and armour of recent human manufacture. There has been much discussion amongst the adventurers about Orc Traders. Grettir in particular takes a dim view of humans who would trade with and arm Orcs. They decide to take a closer look. However, as they do so they come under attack from a flying magician casting lightning bolts. Now to Wind-Walk everyone must hold hands in a circle – making all vulnerable to this sort of attack. Nickar and Paradoxides cast their own Fly spells and drop out of the circle – being careful not to break it – and counter attack. Eggo flies on with the Grettir and the other warriors. Nickar manages to cast a cancelling spell on the hostile sorceror’s Fly spell, but he has the presence of mind to recast before he hits the ground, and escapes. By the time the party has reassembled, both the magician and the traders have disappeared.
Later on the party find a Stone Giant’s lair and slay it.
