Lord Moogie steps out of the bushes and surveys the area before him.

This new forest area is strange to him, and it made him feel...itchy, underneath his skin.

Time to change things.

Three hours later the small clan has the meger beginnings of an Orcish Hall. In a few days they would scrape this area free of the stinking trees and build up a fortress to make the Dark Lord proud.

"My Lord, scouts have reported a strange being approaching camp one post away." says a small dark aide.

"What is it?" asks Moogie.

"Well, that's a good question. However, the scouts have re-created the runes written upon the creature's bag." the aide hands Moogie a small peice of wood.

"I see..." says Moogie, examining the peice carefully, "This appears to be Elvish, indeed, of the Clan Dwermer."

"Ok, and you orders?"

"Allow the stranger to approach the camp, but keep a close eye on him." says Moogie quietly, "Elves are known for thier magical abilities. If he does any magical ritual, attack and kill him immediatly."

"Understood, mi'lord."

Moogie once again surveys his troops, now with 50 Warriors, equipped with long, wicked sabres and leather armor, 10 Spies, with poison daggers and black cloaks, and 1 High Sorceror, with flowing purple robes and a great dark staff.

He will die if nobody helps him soon...

[Lord J]

(OOC: Hey bud, I don't know if it's quite legal to have built a tunnel close to our land without our knowing. Either way, I plan to be prepared for *any* contingency.)

"Sir, the ritual is about to begin!" says an aide to Orc Lord Moogie.

For the last few days the clan had been preparing for a settling-in ceremony of sorts, involving large amounts of ale, venison and a little magic from the new High Sorceror.

"Good." says Moogie as he heads for the platform. Then, raising his arms to cease the chattering, Moogie says, "In the name of Hrothgar the Smelly, I formally claim this land in the hands of the Orcs!"

After a few more words, and a cheer from the crowd, Moogie introduces the High Sorceror, T'naga, to the platform.

T'naga begins the ritual. Along with a lot of "hokus pokus", he blesses the land in the name of the Orcs, does a quick topographical survey.

To the extreme north of the Orcish territory, he senses a slight drop...More like a blank spot in the radar screen than anything else. At first he ignores it, thinking of it as no more than a simple glitch. Then, re-visiting his options, he washes the power of his mind over it again, to no avail.

A few hours later, as the party is really just getting started, T'naga talks with Moogie privately about the situation.

"So you think there's probably nothing to worry about, just a simple glitch somewhere in your spell, right?" says Moogie moodily.

"Right, except for the warning in the back of my head." says T'naga

"So, what do you suggest? Launch a raiding party to dig the place up?" asks Moogie.

"No...But I have a strange feeling about it still. Continue to build up defenses and keep an eye on that area, if for no more reason to keep an old Orc happy." replies T'naga.

Nodding his head, Moogie says, "Done."

Another 25 Warriors step out of the Barraks this post and 5 more Longhouses are built.

Faction Status: Strong

Political Status: Neutral

Military: 75War, 10Spy, 1Sor - Barraks

(OOC: BTW, whatever happened to that messenger you sent Sard?)

[Twin-Head]

He is allowed to have the tunnel, Thats how the half-giant got in his main city tho. Also, your orc sorcerer can sense it IF a threatining creature is inside.

-----------------------------------------------

The Half-Giant swings his club at the nearest table. the splinters fly everywhere and impale 2 dwarf through the chest. The Dwarven Berseker charges at the 2-Headed thing and the spike on the berserkers head goes strat through the things leg. It falls over, the dwarf flailing gelplessly with its hands, trying to get off before it's too late. the giant squishes the berserker at the same time that 13 axes are embedded into his skull. the thing is still not dead...

[Anathema]

The dwarves attacked the half giant again. Ballista arrows flung to the creature, but the damn thing just wouldn't die. But the dwarves only attacked more fiercely. The half giant was pushed back to the tunnel entrance.

The dwarven sorcerer Hestif finally arrived on the scene. He yelled:

"Quick, get over here! NOW!"

The dwarven warriors obediently ran to Hestif. The half giant just stould there wondering what they were doing.

Hestif muttered a few words, then held up some powder with his right hand and blew it in the half giants direction. Almost immediately the entire section of the tunnel was filled with ice, the half giant caught in it.

"Now you've done it." said Dorth. "Now we won't be able to use the tunnel for at least 3 pages!"

"Patience is a virtue, my son. Besides, we won't have the risk of anybody else using that tunnel for a while."

Dorth raised his shoulders, and ordered everybody to return to the village.

[Twin-Head]

*The dwarves are awarded 1 quest point and are allowed to keep the tunnel to the orcs*

-----------------------------------------------

*The Ogre band in the village by the mountains*

The ogres are running around the city, trying to step on people. good thing that the people are faster tho. While the ogres try killing people, to no avail, the ogre shaman chnts his spell. one of the ogres trips and crushes the main church building along with the 40 people whom were praying there. The ogre releases his spell....
