===Day 342===
The Yaka Rangers have found Goremarsh's new lair. It has been reshaped with a landslide, but there is a new passage cut. They see an orcish guard on duty.
Zai scouts ahead, looking for new traps, and after no traps, he signals and the party move to the cave mouth. Thorbjørn leads the way in. Inside they can hear orcs speaking in Orcish. Goremarsh is sitting on a throne, apparently speaking with the other Orcs. Around the throne are orcish tents.
The party launch their ambush on the orcs. Flinthart uses his Blink Spear to get behind the orcs while Thorbjørn & Zai charges into melee and Korrin shoots his bow. When the party get close they see that Goremarsh is only bones. The party continue to slay the alive orcs in the room. There is a spellcaster hidden who is casting spells at the party. Thorbjørn shatters the Goremarsh skeleton easily.
When there are only 2 orc warriors left alive, they retreat to guard a tent. There is no sign of the spellcaster inside the tent however. The party show no mercy to the remaining orc warriors and execute them.
The party then search for the spellcaster, and Zai finds them cowering behind the tent. The spellcaster, Hamster, begs for his life. With the magic crown, they find that this is really the necromancer who cast Animate Dead, and used prestidigitation to fool the other orcs. The party find that Hamster was working alone in this scheme to unite the orcs again. The party execute Hamster.
