The city of Highbridge remains in the hands of The Hate Incarnate, led by the as yet unseen Prophet Ezekiern and most visibly represented by the detestable Brother Pelliton. The people live in fear of the Hate Incarnate, whose few numbers are supplemented by The Resistence, an anti-Polonian Empire group that has welcomed the Hate Incarnate with open arms.
The Hate Incarnate has offered a reward from a particular orcish lieutenant of the Ancient Dominion of the Unending Lands that has caused trouble in the lands around the city recently, although Brother Pelliton has vowed to collect the head of this orc himself.

Have Fun Storming the Castle
The party arrives at Castle Rend just as night falls and hastily constructs a plan. With Rhagal and Corliss disguised as orcs, leading Yornan and Hurodash in chains, the castle defenders open the doors and let the party into the yard within. Meanwhile, Ser Shadow circles behind the castle and climbs the wall in an inconspicuous location.

After everyone stands around to be entertained by a schoolyard-style showdown between Hurodash and one of the more ornery orcs, a negotiation begins. Dorokor offers Pinna and the Castle in return for help getting snuck into Highbridge so that they can try to kill off the brown-robed clerics of the Hate Incarnate. The party weighs the relative douchebaggery (i believe that was the metric) of the Prophet Ezekiern, Brother Pelliton, and the rest of The Hate Incarnate against Bonebreaker Dorokorand the Ancient Dominion of the Unending Lands. They decide against the Hate Incarnate and agree to a deal with the details left to be decided. Dorokor welcomes the party into the tower for the remains of the evening’s feast.
