The orcs have crashed at Grom’arsh Crash-site but there are a few things that need to be noted ICly! This post will be updated day by day as the campaign progresses, so please keep an eye on it for environmental changes!

General( Updated 30/11/2015):

- The tents are there ICly.
- Soft whispers are heard and increase in power as you get closer to Ulduar's door.

- Two makeshift jetpacks. They are too small to carry Orcs.
- the remaining supplies are still at Bouldercrag Refuge.

Supplies( Updated 30/11/2015):

- Food supplies are running low. Trips to the mainland for hunting purposes is needed.
- Two bottles of lighter fluid are now added to the inventory. A quarter of a bottle can fuel the lantern for 2 hours.
- A few ropes remain.
- A map with Valkyrion at the center of the map. There is a pathway visible on the map to the south.
- A couple of bottles of ale remain.
- Four keys, possibly usable on the gates of Ulduar.

Tuesday (17/11/2015):

- It is very dark outside due to the thick clouds.
- Oxygen levels are lower than the orcs would be used to.
- Moving through the snow makes movement very tiring.

Wednesday (18/11/2015):

Karak Stormsong

Note for the Wreckage: As of Wednesday, Siyah has attempted various low level enchants on the wreckage, keeping it warm and dry and sheltering those within.

This will persist as long as he is Alive. And as long as the DM wishes it, obviously.

An update of things after the event tonight!

Wednesday  (18/11/15):

- Supplies have been found. Crackers. A whole crate of frozen meat. Lots of furs. Two rolls of tent cloth. Herbs and spices.
- Rhonya, Trakmar, Nosh'marak and Lokarn have been found again.
- Roxxai was claimed in the storm; blown away by a colossal gust of wind.
- A village has been spotted to the west; potentially for more supply hunting.
- Siyah'gosh successfully enchanted the wreckage - Meaning it stays dry and retains warmth much better
- A tent flap is at the back of the wreckage and the front - To help drafts stay out!

Kogra Windwatcher

As of Wednesday the nose of the ship has been sealed of with a large cloth, preventing the wind from entering through one of the sides. This should increase the general warmth and less wind within the wreckage itself.

Gul'thauk Ashveil and Gosh'kar Windwatcher went out today during the subsiding of the storm(19-11-2015 13:27-14:57). They scavenged some more places but did not find much. The change in the inventory is:

- A limited amount of herbs has been added to the general inventory. This is limited to Icethorn, Goldclover, and adder's tongue.
- The meat, and fur, of five critters has been added to the inventory as they found four hares and a skunk.
- A lantern has been added to the collective inventory, no oil though.

A very crude map has been pinned to the frame of the crash site, showing the path that these two walked. This includes a terrible drawing of the giant golem and the mountain around it, marking the spots that they have scavenged and searched.
