the ork legacy

[lok-tar-ogar]

me and my brethren had been campaining against the aliance for about a month

i awoke one day and went to the tavern rightlly nammed the orks blade as i entered i saw two orks slamming back ale's with a mahirim mage the mahirim looked a little bulkey for being a mahirim mage.

i sat the the bar and ordered a ale and a meal before i even got my ale the bartender asked for money up front 45 gp i payed him quicklly and began to drink and eat with my axe at my side.

about half way through my meal i ordered another ale and i was approched by the mahiriim mage he called himself scorpio and he wanted to accuire my seveces to help him and a few others attack a small outlying human outpost from his description it sounded small almost perfect for raids.

i told him i would go if the price was right as he dropped a large gab of gold in front of me on the bar table followed by another. I didnt want to leave my brethrens campain against the alliance but i said i would go for a price and so i did not even careing if we all walked to our deaths.

there was only 5 of us i wondered if we were going to die on this little quest for gold. we crept slowly over a hill where i could see a tower with at least two human guards in it and a slow partol of men to the east. we waited for the mages command as he summonned a few beast's to his control two scorpians and a polar bear.

it was almost dusk and we waited for the supply lines to the tower to stop as we sneaked a little closer around the tree line. we were as close as we were going to get. just then the mage cast a unholy fire spell on the lookout on the tower we charged with a battle cry heard for miles.

i was the first one to reach the outside of the towers were two guards were standing ready for usme and one of the mages scorpians attacked the first one while the rest of them laid a onslaught on the second human guardsmen.

i rushed with a swift attack of the axe landed on his shoulder but it seemed to hardly peirce his armor though i did see him start to bleed. i saw from the corner of my eye the mage get in a sneek attack with a staff to the head as his bear roared with pain.

i was joined by one of the ork's from the taveren that the mage had also hired he was armmed with a war hammer and struck the human guardsmen at the head he was knocked down and stunned this was our chance i swung as hard as i could almost severing his right hand bet he managed to stab my shoulder before he was finished with another warhammer blow to the head.

i followed the others inside the fairlly small tower to see another two guardsmen one of which the mage had burnned BADLY on top of the tower and a archer who immeditatlly killed off the huge bear the two scorpians split and poisoned the two guardsmen barelly hurting them but they were that much more muscle in the fight.

i went to attack the archer who now had me in his sights and fired a single arrow. it had skinned my neck as i charged him swinging straight into him landing a blow to his side cleaveing him.

the archer pulled out a knife but was too slow as i swung for his head watching it tumble down the stairs just a little bit. i turned to fight the already wounded fighter to the left i used the skill frennzy and could attack much faster now the two guardsmen had dropped two of our own men even being outnummbered.

i swung twice once into the guards back and another to his left leg he was gone before he even noticed me i turned to see the other guardsmen already dead.

we headed for the roof of the tower to find a single mage accepting his death and kneeling b4 us i knocked his out with the side of my two hannded axe.

i had started to loot the guardsmen and took a new set of chainmail for my own i saw the mage wasnt looting and i asked why and why he would pay so much for such a small raid.

follow me he said as i walked to the basement of the tower to find the stash for the nearby human guild the mage had called the others (now 4 others) down to the basement and gave them all just pay for the victory.

as i searched through the weapons and gold/gems i saw a aldaruk almost new i had figured a ork had lost it while trying to attack the tower by himself.

get some rest and heal now for tommorow we must defend this small outpost untill the campain reaches us...

that could be weeks i thought to myself....

[lok-tar-ogar]

the five of us filled our pockets with gold and started to prepare our defences that night the mage had made us all some explotion pots and raised some minnions which consisdid of a thrall and a 3 bats.

i grabbed about 5 throwing axe's from the basement they were very high quality for being stored for so long they had a kind of red aura around them and were very sharp.

the next morning i took a post on the roof of the tower with the mahirim mage who had somehow managed to grow a moveing tree at the entrance of the tower now that i think about it i haddent seen him sleep all night he must have taken a long time to grow the tree.

it took untill about midday for them to see that we had taken the tower one of there scouts tried to enter the tower but was quicklly killed before he got too close.

in midday they had begun to sneek around the trees just as we had done to take the tower we had seen them though and before they came closer i started to interrogate the mage we found on the roof asking him how many ppl were in the guild he said 1000 so i cut his toe off and told him his nose was next. he gave in quicklly and we killed him he said that there was 12 men and him that handeld situations like this.

they slowly advanced as i took my post on the roof once again rdy with throwing axe's and pots. they advanced with 10 men and two archers stayed in the trees in the back. three warriors guarded the inside of the tower door.

the first wave consisted of 4 men followed by four more. i threw a pot with the mage down by the door knocking back the first wave and killing one i threw another and another killing one more.

i RAN down to the front steps in the back of the first room getting rdy to throw axe's at the entrance of the now bloodstained small tower the three men at the entrance were holding up very well and not letting anyone in. i threw a one sidded axe at the first person i could hitting him dead in the head AMAZINGALLY the human kept fighting. one of the orks holding the entrance sent his head to the ground with a sword.

i yelled retreat to the second level as i threw another axe not even looking if it hit or not. on my way out i saw the reaper tree in the front kill two but humans are resourcefull and managed to cut it down. reaching the second level the last ork reaching the second level of the tower got a slice of sword in the back as he turned on the stairs.

i threw another axe at the back of a human he screamed and fell down the steps buying us just a little bit of valuable time. the mage had come from the roof to join us with his few minions.

before i knew it more men were comeing up the stairs i threw my last axe into the lower back of another human. a arrow hit one of the orks guarding the stairs the ork fell down cutting off the leg of the first guy he saw. i rushed to the stairs and the mage's bear joined us as we picked off one more human before they started to slow the mage's powers were very good he managed to cast a essance of wild spell on me.

the humans started to retreat and i cought one in the back of the head as they ran.

the mahirim mage got one too as they ran back to the weak city. we began to loot i sent the last ork to the city for renforcements as i and the mage began prepareing for anything.

this is only day one he said to me..... there could be 50 more......

[lok-tar-ogar]

the next day the ork i sent to town returned with 5 men and himself with a LARGE caravan pulled by two horses after deciding that the enamy wouldent try and take the tower again we filled the caravan with all we could with the origanal three left and decided to just instead try and take the city.

after thinking of "in case we fail" we saw our tribesmen in the distance THEY WERE MANY after they got closer i recignized them it was the mahirim mercs they were the guardians of the god's leen and neith untill the gods returned to there plain.

as they got even closer i saw full seige weaponry and alot of necromancy creatures. among them was alex, kaleb, and ki the leaders of the campaining guild. we asked if we might join there ranks after all it was a once in a lifetime opertunity. they said yes.

after we joined there ranks they gave to us top quality weapons and armor and we burnt the tower as we marched on the small town with our now VAST numbers.

they were overtaken almost without effort. almost not even worth looting we took a few caravans and one seige tank and burned the city. apparentally the ideals of this new clan is to be free and live from the land. our mahirim mage from the origanal party loved the ideals and vowed his life to the clan.

we marched for three days before reaching a ork city for supplys or so i thought.........
