The Broken Tusk Cache

The three orcs had converted a collapsed dungeon side chamber into a rough guard post. Their personal gear lies scattered around the remains of a smoky fire, with the best weapons kept close at hand and the damaged armor piled near the wall. A garnet and a sealed healing potion were hidden beneath a loose flagstone alongside stolen coins and practical exploration supplies. The cache is valuable enough to reward a fifth-level adventuring party without suggesting that the orcs possessed a major treasure hoard. The tusk-marked token hints that these warriors may have been scouts or enforcers for a larger orc faction deeper within the dungeon.
