The transition to orc life was not an easy one but one she found immensely freeing. The other orcs showed her patience she'd never known while working in the tavern, and after months of roaming with them, she couldn't imagine going back to her old life. She helped them hone their language and healing skills, and they helped her hone her survival and drinking skills. Eventually, she became their herald. With a human knocking at the gates they got into a lot more towns.

The title of Ale-Bringing didn't stick as word of her spread between towns. She came to be known as Giroflée the Orc Layer. This was often misheard as Orc Slayer and caused a great deal of confusion upon her arrival.

Giroflée and Rogmug became life mates and lived happily ever after.
