Ogres

The humanoids are similar in size to Umar, but slightly broader and with more brutish features, their arms appear slightly too long for their bodies – almost like Orangutans. All three of the humanoids you can see are wearing coarse animal hides and carrying or have nearby a large club and a small bundle of 3 or 4 spears.
One of the humanoids is sitting with his back to a tree, facing the woodpile, he is bandaged heavily, and from the slightly ornate head-dress (a deerskin hood with what look to be a pair of large boar tusks fastened to each side) you might surmise is the “shaman” talked about.
Our encounter with the Ogres is dealt with in Road Reconnaissance – Day 3a, Road Reconnaissance – Day 4: The fight and Road Reconnaissance – Day 4: The aftermath
Key points are the Avatar Brooch that we discovered after the fight, the Shaman's (non-magical) headdress, their gory funerary rituals, and their perseverance in pursuing the Solarans.
==Week1 reseach==
Within the week your research has identified Ogres as being known to the Elves, described as:
“Brutish footsoldiers of great strength and stamina, they sometimes act as leaders of the lesser spawn but more often are deployed as shock troops. The more intelligent individuals can be shamans, priests or even arcanists – these individuals have the potential to be extremely dangerous and should be eliminated as soon as encountered.”Day 21-27 – The second week in Northlake
