The party had the challenge of trying limp out of the valley with Gargun (orc) cave, whilst carrying one of its badly injured members (a shattered foot and a broken arm). The navigation was fairly good, and the camp selection was adequate; however, they couldn't cover up their trail, and soon the Gargun managed to follow it and catch up with them two night later.
A raiding party of 26 Gargun attacked from two sides, catching the fatigued sentry off-guard, and managed to trap the party between them. The ensuing fighting swayed back and forth, but as much as the party wanted to run, it was unable as one of its member would have been captured and mostly killed. In the end, the Gargun leader's morale broke, and the remaining 5-6 Gargun along with the leader fled into the darkness, leaving a very badly injured party. Of the six members, half have serious wounds, and all have at least two minor wounds. The party must rest for the next few days and tend their wounds.
