Well, sure enough, the party fractured. The When the Half-orc (in were-bear form) ran ahead with the Female Uruk on his back to attack the caravan, going far ahead of the rest of the party (on foot), leaving the remaining Uruk-hai with the Black Numenorean, Variag, and Corsair. The Black Numenorean conspired with the other two humans to attack Nig-nog the Half-orc to try to put him "in his place" over the leadership tension from the previous session. However, the Corsair hit him so hard, that it caused brain damage. After some debate, rather than reviving him, and letting him "learn a lesson about who's in charge", they left him unconscious to bleed out. Meanwhile, the other two started out strong, but were soon overrun by the caravan guards. The Half-orc/Were-bear managed to escape, but bled (and died) out before he could get back to the rest of the party. The Female Uruk was taken prisoner. The others tried to bluff their way in, but the uruk let sleep they were with her....
So they didn't fall for the bluff. The Variag was taken prisoner, the Black Numenorean managed to flee (without weapons or gear), and the Corsair started to flee, but caught fire running through the campfire, and then was shot with a fatal arrow in his lower back (severing a vein, and 12 rounds until death), so while catching the dry grasslands around him on fire, he made a last effort of revenge, threw his hidden dagger at the one that dealt him the fatal arrow shot, and actually returned an even more fatal shot with his single dagger throw. He fell back into the flames, at first laughing "You will remember me!" then his laughters turned into blood curdling screams as the flames consumed him.
Thus ends this evil party's campaign. While the Black Numenorean May continue separately.
The group is now switching to my Worlds of Beru Campaign http://spokanerpg.com/beru while still using Rolemaster 2.

Though many others have played in my campaign running since the 1980s, I started the current count of group numbers for this campaign since moving to Spokane in 2004 (and first Beru campaign here started around 2007).
This group previously tried out an evil campaign in Middle-earth using MERP/RM hybrid rules. The information on that short-lived campaign here: http://spokanerpg.com/forum/rpg-group-discussions/248207091 - See the forum postings for that group for details on how their campaign went.
They have now elected to play in my home brewed multi-verse heroic campaign setting of " The Worlds of Beru " with the standard start in the Port City of Balchoth.
The wiki for this setting can be found here: http://spokanerpg.com/beru
It takes 4+ hours, especially for those new to the system, to complete characters. So with only an hour left in the session, we began that process, and here is what they chose:
Jacob = Great Man, Beastmaster (non-identical twin to Ryan's character).
Justin = Common Man,
Dawn = _____, Shaman
Drake = High Elf, _______
Heather = ______, Duelist
Ryan = Great Man, Beastmaster (non-identical twin to Jacob's character).
Due to prior family obligations, Ryan, Justin, & Heather won't be able to attend next week, but Dawn, Jacob, & Drake will be there to continue working on their characters.
Then the following week all 6 should be there to finish character creation, and if all goes well, begin the first leg of the adventure!
