Sightseeing in Orga Lands

Based on earlier input, I thought that the Trainers' Grotto beyond Hatreds' Hollow might be a good destination for the Open Hunt. Orga resistance in HH was light. We made a brief stop in the Grotto, but it turned out that no one who was qualified to train with Rodnus or the other two trainers decided to do so.

Thanks to our pathfinders, Creed and PureHero, a trip from the Grotto to Orga Village was possible without trudging the long way through the Orga Outback. The group made it to the snell just outside OV, but we had lost Zin. First, Suu'ub tried a solo rescue run, but he too fell. We tried taking the whole group (or at least those who were awake) to look for Zin and Suu'ub. Commander Nate got separated from the group, but he inadvertently found our lost friends before he himself fell.

Then I decided that a smaller rescue group would be able to move quickly without losing more people or falling. Six of us, guided by Shalyn, moved through OOB and finally found Zin, Suu'ub, and Commander Nate. Unfortunately Nate was asleep for a long time, until after the Open Hunt had ended, so I think he had to depart. (Edit: See Gremlins's comment. A group rescued Commander Nate later.)


After we reunited with the rest of the Open Hunt group, we proceeded to capture OV without a hitch. It was the first time for some people, so we took a look at the Orga idol inside the sacrificial hut and the well near the entry to the New Orga Outback. Then we took the path to Orga Camp and back to Puddleby.

A big thanks to all who attended!
