Walking up behind his large companions.
"Would anyone one mind a breeze to clear the air a bit so we can have a better look at these dragon kin breeds? Tusk my old friend, I must agree with the others. I think your cause is very noble, but those Orcs are beyond saving and will not listen to your reason. Plus they will smell the stench of humans on you, which they will not listen to you and would rather you for associating with humans."

Aramil slinks up to Tusk and roars at the orc-kind as if to emphasize his intimidation.

"Well looks like the fun has started without me. I must be getting slow."
Seamus stay to no one . Seeing Aramil flowing Tusk and giving his roar, Seamus just has to chuckle to himself.
Round 1 Initiative:
[dice=20] + 8 = 14
Taking note of Solinar and Silverthorn actions, Seamus decides to lean aid to Silverthorn. 'Got to keep the healers alive.' Seamus thinks to himself. 'Sorry for this my misguided distant kin, but since the wench of earlier avoided this you shall now receive for her.'

Aramil will roar with all his fury and then pounce on the remaining sightless creature rending huge rivets in the creaturs hide with his powerful claws, and snapping his jaws around the neck(if possible) and digging his razor sharp teeth into flesh.

After Solinar dispatches one of the sightless behemoths, Aramil jumps onto another of the creatures and in a flurry of motion tears it into pieces. The remaining creature is initially struck by Silverthorn and then Seamus puts his weapons away to summon an Orb of Force. The Orb strikes the creature with such power that it punches through the creature dropping it in a bloody mess onto the ground.
Tusk ignores the combat continuing to speak to the black orcs. After a few moments he takes the chains from the black orcs and unlatches it from the massive neck collar of the elephantine beast.
Tusk speaks to it in a language lost to all but Solinar, Seamus, and Silverthorn.
"You are free of your bindings. I shall attempt to heal the damage that has been done to your body and mind."
A green glow surrounds the creature and Tusk. The creature howls in pain its trunk and tusks raised to the sky. The form grows larger to resemble a mammoth and then back to the hybrid form and then to a hulking orc with some deformities related to his other forms (large teeth, big head, etc).
The powerfully muscular orc rises from his knees to stand before Tusk. In his hands is a sharp rock. He takes the rock and cuts his forearms. The blood he uses to make three lines on his face and places a bloody hand print upon Tusk's chest.
Forevermore I am pledged to you master.
Bonded in blood we are and brothers we shall be from this day forward. Is Tusks reply. From here on you shall be known as Shakthi, meaning Strength. The strength of your might and the strength of your bond.
Tusk turns to the other two orcs. In time my brothers you too shall come to follow me as Shakthi has pledged to me.
Standing at the rim of the crater you see the enormity of the impact and the black star that caused it all.
The black orb of black iron (Knowledge check) is over 300 feet in diameter and it is floating 100 feet above the upper rim of the crater it created when it crashed. From this vantage point you can see that the crater is approximately over half a mile from edge to edge. The bed of the crater you approximate to be about 750 feet down from the rim.
A small platform juts out from the center of the orb's face, a tiny tongue of dark iron. This seems to be the only entrance into the Fane.

Seamus you do not learn anything new from what you learned before. Seamus you learn the following knowledge. The Fane of Scales was created by a powerful wizard named Zebedaster Frost. However, you cannot recall the name of the artifact reputed to be hidden within the Fane. The Black Covenant is an order of nihilistic dragon-hearted beings bound together by their desire to destroy humanity. Their goal is to obtain the artifact from within the Fane to realize their goals. All of what Tobias has told you matches what you know about the evil organization. You have not heard about Tobias Hillcrest. Tobias walks over to the dead corpses of the creatures pointing a short rod, one end of which is carved to resemble a claw. The corpses shudder and lay unmoving. Well that's done. Tobias puts the rod away and looking up at the entrance. "Looks like we need to figure out how to get up there."Solinar after about 10 minutes you notice that Vorlundir is no longer glowing in the presence of the two black orcs.

Mara leans close to Seamus and whispers:
"What the Hells was that? Soul stealing?"

Spot check on the rod that Tobias just used. To see if I saw any other special marking on this rod other then just a carved end looking like a claw. Plus a knowledge arcana check on what we did see with the rod.
Spot check:
[dice=20] + 13 = 23
Knowledge Arcana:
[dice=20] + 13 = 32
"Mara I am not sure yet me think about it for a moment, but have you noticed Vorlundir? It stopped glowing. That could be a good or bad sign. Since it only started glowing when we can upon these creatures back with the refugees."
Seamus also looks in the direction of Tusk. To see what's going on with the other 2 blacken Orcs.[rand=49397880046859243716389160526162068431328058469914645233790930568]

Mara, the creature that was once part elephant seems to be a product of engineering and natural elements. You know that most orcs cannot change shape but you know certain creatures that can change shape like lycanthropes and ones like Solinar. But this creature seems to have some unnatural qualities about it that you can't seem to put your finger on at this point.
Seamus you do not see any markings on Tobias' rod but you do suspect that it has stolen the souls of those creatures.

"Mara I think you might be right as to what Tobisa just did."
Seamus whispers in her ear as he passes by to take a closer look at the entrance to Fane.
"Any suggestion on how we are to get up there? Can anyone fly?" Seamus states to the group.
