Scouting Orcs at Compassion @Cero I heard that the Guard Commander's west of the Desert of Compassion needed some aid so I went there to set me self to their disposal. I intruduced myself as Pekkus Pilatus, Knight Templar and they where happy to see me. They gave me a book with instructions and asked me to take a look at this problem that they fear will show up shortly as it seems like the orcs have increased their activity around the Shrine of Compasion. I went to the desert and never knew what to expect as I never been there before. I first encounterd a lot of Giant Scorpions but I also noticed that there where orcs scattered around the desert and loads of Earth Elements. All of them had to taste me copper axe and all where rooted to the ground. Just west of the Shrine I found something that looked like an orc fort. It had some sort of sacrifice pole added in the middle, surrouned by what it looked like human sceletons. *shivers* What an afoul place. I didn't saw any orcs here as this place was filled with Earth elements and scorpions. But what is that? A cave? Well lets sneak in and see what is in there? Well nothing here but scorpions and a stair into a deeper cave? Well lets scout it out. The cave was even bigger here and looked a bit like the Orc cave that Derfel described, so has the orcs built another big cave as the one Derfel described was found from a valley that they call the Ratman valley? Odd?? Well I rode deeper into the cave, met loads of filthy Orcs and I slained them all. I found some sort of cultivation site for mushroms so that is what they eat? Mushroms? Most likely they mix it with meat and cider as I found loads of it in the filthy orcs pockets and backpacks. I also found some sort of a garden, surrounded by orc statues. I do wonder what this place is built for? I found some sort of alchemy lab. Wonder what sort of mixtures they are making here? Most likely explosion pots as they did threw a lot of such pots after me time to time and I slained the casters. I found an armory. I looks like they are planning for a bigger war really, so get yer self prepared for a bigger orc invasion. It seems like they like to sleep on furs as I did found something that looked like an sleeping area. I found something that looked like a shrine, a big statue built of stone and a big pool filled of blood. I later came to an area filled with forges and anvils. It must be here that they are making weapons and armor. I came to another opening with rails. It must mean that they are able to make rail cars?? As I went deeper into the cavesystem, I noticed that they had digged smaller caves in all directions. I also found some rail cars and wagons and one of them where filled with jewels. I found drills similar to the one that Derfel had described earlier I went back to the first cave and went south. I do wonder where this openening lead too? Can it be even deeper into this orc system? Woot? The ratman valley? That means I have been in the same cave as Derfel was all the time and now with this report it is about time we do something about the Orcs here before they create complete chaos.
A great adventure Pekkus! I salute your progress on ridding the lands of these uncouth murderers. I raise a glass to your adventure! Cheers!
Excellent work Templar Pilatus! Yes as we feared the orcs have connected the caving complex under the Serpent Spine mountains, but this report confirms that. The Guard Corps owes you a reward, and I shall ride forth with it in my pack in few days time. In the mean time enjoy a tall glass of your beverage of choice, knowing you have given us great information on the war with these wretched creatures! Cero, Captain and Emissary of the Guard
I will go to the Guard Outpost again and ask if me services is required further more again in a week or so. Maybe I will get some templars to follow me next time? //Pekkus Pilatus
I think a caravan train loaded with explosives needs to be escorted through the caves @Jupiter We shall destroy their armory before they strike!
@Cero and @Jupiter Count me in if I am not occypied (At work) or asleep. @Vishakt I look forway to meet ye face to face. I noticed that the Guardpost is looking for yer head as I saw a note about it when I was there. *grins*
Knights Templar will organise a protection of a Jupiter's Caravan. Thank you Knight Pekkus for this report.
@Cero I have a bow and three masks as well and a book with my report to deliever when we now are able to meet up. I do wonder where to find Vishakts head, but I guess it is most likely attached to his body??
