"I didn't?" Feldoran looked at the Orc, himself about as confused as the Greenskin of this whole situation. "You just sort of turned up. On a supposedly secure barge." He looked at the Orc again. "What do you remember?"

Rakzul heard two questions but he got stuck at the first one.
"Whats a Barge?"

"The thing we're standing on." This would probably be easier if he brought out their other Orc. "We do have an Orc on board. Perhaps he can help us. We'll sort this out."
He turned towards the crew cabins. "Magdud!" He called out to the other Orc; at least he assumed he was in the cabins as he had not seen him on or below-decks recently.

Fivara finished her salad and headed up to the deck to see what was going on. She saw the orc and assumed he must've been the source of the noise.

Rakzul suddenly became aware of the floor tilting and moving. He took his eyes off the elf and looked around, there was a lot more blue than he was used to and the land was too far away to jump to it.
"Why is land so far away?" He asked in a panicked voice. Rakzul didn't like the water, he also couldn't swim.

"I know they don't like moving water, that's why I'm bringing them up onto the stationary deck" said Bjorn, staring off into the distance, not bothering to look up at the half-elf. "But catching them in conditions like this is all just a matter of having the right bait, some patience and knowing just when to reel in your catch" he explained, still not bothering to look over at her. "But there's some little bit of skill that some just don't have, like with many things in life such as the ability to wind up uppity elves" he pauses, finally turning his head toward her to give an appreciative nod "Or the keen eyes and deft hands of a pickpocket" the ghost of a sly, knowing grin now crossing his face. He took a gulp of mead and then turned back to his lazy vigil.

The Orc groggily woke up to the sound of his name being called. He was dreaming of Stonefang Gulch, imagining the smells, sounds and sights. He awoke to the sight of the barge's wooden cabin. Dissapointing to say the least.
He grabbed his axe and left the quarters he was sleeping in to see what was needed of him. It wasn't hard to notice the other Orc, but he had to do a second take just to make sure. He had his mighty axe leaning against a wall and approached this stranger with arms tightly crossed over one another.
"Magdud Bo Sarod Stonefang - Akzadd, Monott, Duthwa?"
His voice was stern. He did not sound welcoming. He sounded relatively commanding.

Translations from Orcish to Common: Akzadd = friend Monott = enemy Duthwa = neither

Rakzul didn't like the fact he wasn't on solid land and was becoming a little bit panicky at the idea that a flimsy bit of wood was the only thing keeping him safe from an ice cold death. He wanted off the thing but he couldn't see a way to do it. That was when the other orc came over. He heard him say his name and ask him a question.
"Rakzul is Duthwa. Rakzul not no where he is"

Feldoran eyed Rakzul as he spoke; he'd calmed down or at least was confused enough to not be attacking them. Good enough for now. "What's the last thing you remember?" He took a slight step forwards.

"Duthwa... Hmm... Kla'thun?"
The Orc noticed the other Orc's upset, but he needed to understand what kind of Orc this was. Feral? Possessed? Hostile?
-----------------
Kla'thun = Clan/Origin?

Rakzul decided to respond to the orc first as his question was easier to think about.
"Rakzul has no Kla'thun." He then turned to the Elf.
"Rakzul eated spider. Then magic man come and attack him. Then here."

Having no origin or clan was not good. All Orcs lived in warbands or clans or groups at least. This Orc was either soft in the head or just actually had none. That would explain his overtly aggressive behaviour. All Orcs were fierce, but not openly hostile like this.
Magdud laughed at the story of him eating a spider, but grabbed his axe and went back into his cabin. Sleep was what he desired since he had slept so awfully the night prior. Falling on to the bed, Magdud fell asleep once more.

The real question was what were they going to do about the newcomer Orc? They had probably gotten about as far as they were going to get on his account of things, given that he'd mentioned a 'Magic Man' several times now.
Magic man attack, then here? That certainly hadn't happened anywhere near the barge when it set off or it would have been noticed before now. So teleportation? That seemed to fit the bill if the Orc was this confused and he had seemingly ended up here right out of nowhere. There was absolutely no chance of him being a stowaway.
"I think I know how you came to be here. No idea who sent you or why, but I at least am reasonably confident of the how." Feldoran said to him. "Now we have to work out what to do with you?"

Rakzul had stopped paying attention to the elven lady and had decided that sitting down was the best way to deal with what had happened to him. It didn't make sense to him but then most things didn't make any sense to him. For now he was going to sit here and wait for the water to become land again.

The way it seemed they had two choices. Either drop the newcomer off at Darell when they reached it or convince him to come along with them. He was not prepared to stop along the way to let the Orc off for the time it would lose them and seeing as the stranger seemed calm enough again it wouldn't be much trouble to just keep him on board until they reached their first stop.
They could deal with the problem more thoroughly once they reached the city, but he felt he should at least present the Orc with the options. "We stop downriver in a few days. We can drop you when we land. Or you can help us." Every extra pair of hands would be useful even if these were an unexpected pair. He disliked deviating from the original plan, but this was an unconventional mission.
