"burnsplode" is the best new word I've heard in ages - where can I find a Scroll of Burnsplode?
There's no scrolls that I'm aware of. You can, however, make a burnsplosive by wrapping a potion of explosions, a container of alchemist's fire, a pouch of ball bearings, and the hand broken off an idol to an orcish god of pestilence.

At least that's how Huzzah! made his.
I have everything but the ball bearings. Where can I find such a material for my burnsplosive?

You could always substitute some nuts and bolts.
Boo has all of the nuts, and bolts come in stacks of 80. I don't need that may bolts...unless I build a super burnsplosive +5!

Meh, I can produce the same effect after having a burrito from Taco Bell.

The session began by going back in time a bit. One challenge to running an office game is that people are often busy on workdays and have to leave for a session or two. We rewound the game a few minutes to allow for the appearance of two party members: Edisum, sorcerer of the Lightning Pass, and Five-Eyes, cleric of Tymora.
Edisum had been called away on business to the Lightning Pass, where the people claimed his leaving had coincided with a loss of the thunder that routinely shook the peaks. Edisum returned and the people realized what they had been hearing was actually his snoring. So Edisum reassured them all and returned to the party.
Five-Eyes, meanwhile had been headed north with Brother Case when she was separated from her party by a rockslide. Seeing this as a sign from Tymora, she decided to rejoin the group and arrived just as Edisum did.
That's when the party noticed the thing moving within the dragon...
With a horrible tearing sound, a creature ripped its way out of the burning, putrid flesh, taking little notice of the fire all around it. It was an orc, but an orc with a vulture's face and two sticky, feathery black wings. It communicated telepathically with the group: You have fought so hard to defeat me, but you've only secured your deaths. Yurtrus has rewarded my faith with POWER. The power to destroy YOU!"
Huzzah! declaimed that the party had fought "so hard" and Carp agreed. "Really it was an average effort," the rogue mused.
Urmgech the vrock attacked and the battle was on. Urmgech's spore attack proved dangerous to the party at the beginning of the combat. Huzzah! used his crystal rod with the slow effect to give the party an edge, and Edisum cast reduce and actually managed to affect the vrock despite its advantage on magic saving throws.
Kilmer was reduced to unconsciousness and several other party members wounded, but in the end they triumphed. Carp climbed on the back of Urmgech and held on as the vrock tried painfully to fly away. When the life left the vrock's body it plummeted back to the earth and only Huzzah!'s feather fall saved the rogue (slightly to Carp's disappointment as he thought he'd go out in a blaze of glory).
The party rejoiced as much as this party ever rejoices. After some conversation, they decided to claim their reward from the Purple Dragons and then set forth on another adventure by catching a ship in Suzail. They made camp first, though, and Huzzah! stole the plague samples and notes from Vionna while she was healing party members. When Vionna discovered the theft, Huzzah! admitted cheerfully that he'd taken the samples and burned them for the safety of all. Vionna was furious and while she didn't challenge the party directly, she swore that she would never forget this "betrayal" and that Huzzah! had made an enemy of the church of Talona.
The night grew darker and the party crowded around the fire, talking about their victory. Suddenly the fire grew dim and greenish and the smoke formed an image of a transparent dragon's face. Huzzah! addressed the dragon image, asking what it wanted. The dragon said it was here to thank the party for avenging the deaths of it and its wyrmlings, who had been cruelly slain before their time. In thanks, it said, the party could keep its treasure with no fear of a lingering curse. Huzzah! thanked the dragon, and the dragon smirked a bit and said it was funny they were happy over the treasure when the real treasure had been with them all the time.
"Is it self-esteem?" Carp asked tentatively.
No, the dragon replied, it was the compass Huzzah! carried. "This?" Huzzah! asked, pulling out the disc they'd found in the aarakocra lair. The dragon explained that the crystal rod they'd found was just one of seven pieces, and when reassembled it would be the most powerful artifact Faerûn had ever seen. The second piece, if they were interested, could be found within the dangerous jungles of far-off Chult...
With that, the dragon disappeared, the fire resumed its normal color, and the curtain drew closed on our heroes.
Vionna was furious and while she didn't challenge the party directly, she swore that she would never forget this "betrayal" and that Huzzah! had made an enemy of the church of Talona..
Huzzah! doesn't have enemies, just friends that don't like him much.
Huzzah! thanked the dragon, and the dragon smirked a bit and said it was funny they were happy over the treasure when the real treasure had been with them all the time.
"Is it self-esteem?" Carp asked tentatively.
I would have asked if it was "friendship". It would have been funny if the dragon said yes, the real treasure was friendship. Then the adventure would end with the party sitting around the fire singing Kumbaya with the dragon image.
Note there will be no live stream tomorrow (or for a while). Due to Adventure Y work in the office we have put the game on hold until people are a little less busy.
Let's just hope that someday the Orc Hordes of the King's Forest and its characters influence a Baldur's Gate game, just like the key features of the original BG storytelling originated from a real pen and paper campaign run by James Ohlen, a BioWare old hand, and later a SWTOR lead, for his friends,. where Cameron Tofer played with a ranger named Minsc.

If I see an opportunity to use Huzzah! or even his family I'll be all over it like an art college student on free food, I promise you that.
And now that the Siege of Dragonspear announcement has been made and Glint Gardnersonson can be seen on SiegeofDragonspear.com, I can finally reveal Huzzah!'s full name publicly: Huzzah! Gardnersonsonsonson III, Jr.
