The tactical discussions about the use of this ring highlight their strategic planning and readiness for upcoming challenges, emphasizing the importance of foresight in their dangerous world. During their journey, the group travels on improvised rail vehicles called “drezinas,” which are designed to carry heavy loads and facilitate their movement across treacherous terrains. However, their path leads them to a congested station plagued by orc presence, raising concerns within the team. After deliberating, they consider their options: to retreat or press forward in the face of growing adversity. The reconnaissance from a returning scout reveals the alarming strength of enemy forces, amplifying tensions as some team members propose stealth tactics, while others express doubt about the viability of their advancing strategy. This leads to the critical phase of their mission, portrayed through the preparation and execution of a battle against an orc faction attacking the station. The heroes convene to devise a strategic counter-offensive that would allow them to hold their ground while minimizing casualties. Drawing on their diverse abilities and the powerful treasures they possess, the heroes engage in fierce combat with the orcs, showcasing their resilience and combat prowess.
