Early in the evening rumors' were floating about a mass of Orc forming at the old fort in the Yew forest. Now, I've heard my fair share of orchish tales but I assumed they were just that! The orcs were long gone, wiped out by humans. But I could not deny my curiosity, I packed for a trip to Yew.

Upon my arrival a foul stench arose, the air stank of rotting flesh. I knew something was up now. I snuck into the wooden fortification and stumbled upon a sight I will not soon forget:



The monsters that I assumed were gone, were now standing not twenty feet from me. I listened closely to their orchish mumble in hopes of a clue to their plans, but I got something better. A mage orc opened a moongate for the group and I quickly jumped in. As soon as the beasts' reached the other side of the moongate they began running west, towards a small cave:



Inside the cave they set a trap to catch un-knowing humans'. Their first victim was a man that went by the name of Nildwen. Though his escape was well attempted he could not run from the orcs' and they quickly slew him:



Their lust for blood was not over yet! They quickly set another trap in the ancient tombs of Wrong dungeon, this one appeared to be better than the last and it worked! KiLLaH PrIEsT walked right into the group and died surrounded by orcs'. Their second kill:



With shouts of "Hoowah" the orcs celebrated another blood spill, Floydd of KV thought otherwise. The mage sent down a blade spirit onto the group. But It was a failed attempt, and the group began its move back to the cave:



Waiting in the cave was a moongate for the orcs'. When I was sure all of them were gone I made my travel through the magical portal. On the other side was the old fort in Yew forest. The group seemed to be prepping a raid at another location:



The tribe leaders' shouted violently at their followers. BRIDUN they said! "UZA GUIN TU BRIDUN!" Could they be moving on the great city of virtues'?



It appears so! The group quickly moved to the front of the city's graveyard and set up another trap. Would this one work as well as their last two?

A lad named Strongo moved toward the graveyard un-knowing of the trap waiting for him. The moment he reached the fence he was surrounded and killed. Yet another victory for the orcs' but it didnt seem to please them. After they picked what they needed from the fallen man's corpse, another magical gate to their home was opened:



Waiting for them was an orc's corpse. Could it be while they were out hunting, an enemy showed up at the fort and slayed the orcs' that guarded their home?



The group would soon find the man responsible for the killing. A murderer named Orlo returned to the fort while the orcs' were investigating the death. On sight the group chased him down and slew him:



Orlo was not the only one attacking the orcs' at their stronghold. Back at the fort waited a group of three undead beings and various humans':



Fighting broke out and bodies began hitting the floor. The three undead were slaughtering all in sight:



The once mighty orc force began to fall:



I began fearing for my life and prepared for the trip home. I painted my last picture of the undead and set off. This was a night I will not forget.
