Odesseus sent the following report to TMN:
"A large group of exiles, hearing of an Orga Ire with special information, made a major assault on Orga Camp and the sn'ells west of it recently. We were told that the Ire must be taken to the Orga Camp fire circle and dispatched there with a mystic present, where the information would become readable by the mystic.
"Just east of the meadow, the sn'ell was packed with Orga Rages, Furies, Hatreds, Hemlocks, Warlocks and other shock-troop orga. Entry into the sn'ell met with immediate and overwhelming lightning, fire and strikes from orga of all type. In the initial assaults, wave after wave of fighters surged into the sn'ell only to be immediately overcome. Mystics supplied many a boost for the marauding fighters. Chainers worked furiously to recover the fallen fighters so they may be raised and form the assault anew. Unfortunately, the assaults were not as coordinated as they could have been, but considering the overwhelming odds, the only recourse was to continue to charge in, clear what could be cleared and exit or fall. Eventually, after a long and hard-fought battle, healer rods were able to enter the sn'ell to draw the lightning, and fighters then hunted the Hemlocks down. The sn'ells were then readily taken by the exiles.
"The ultimate goal was to draw the Ire to the fire circle during the night, but because of the heavy numbers of orga, the Ire was only able to be led there in the late morning. The Ire was a nasty beast, easily felling mid-level warriors and doing major damage to more senior warriors.
"The Ire was trapped in kudzu, and Tara, being a rod point, became the focus of the Ire's mighty swings, was eventually able to lead the Ire to the fire circle. Once within the fire circle, the fighters converged and began hammering away at the tough-hided creature. After many blows, the Ire finally succumbed and gave up at least a partial message that Zorton was able to read, being that the Ire was "looking for something," possibly something that was once lost. Some exiles were disappointed by the vagueness of this message. Still, we should take heart in that we pushed back the orga foe once again."
Fallen in the middle of the sn'ell. Sorry I didn't get a pic of the assault.

After furious pounding, the exiles prevail!
Zorton reads the intestines of the Ire to gain the message.
