A report on the Orog settlement and would be metals,
The settlement is indeed near and within an area known as the Crystal caves past the Lizardfolk commune.
The Orog outer city bears a resemblance to Sanctuary, I am not sure what to make of that, It baffles me to even think the monstrosity of the machine spreads that far.
Slaad fevor is prevalent and common sense screams to avoid the area entirely.
An army would be needed to clear the area of what one would call a formidable throng of troops. I believe an assault in force is the only way you would be able to snatch their resources away and the effort following to haul it back to Sanctuary would be strenuous.
