A year ago Rogr'um was the brother of a powerful War Chief named Skirth the Defender, his brother was double teamed by two others a War Chief named Hoshgrish Flesh-Rot and an Orcish captain named Gishg'ul the Frozen who wanted to take his brothers place. After killing Rogr'um's brother they tried to kill him, but this ranger Orc did not accept that fate and escaped to fight another day... He didn't have any info on Hoshgrish at the moment other then he was alive and well, that battle would have to be for another time... But as he snuck into War Chief Gishg'ul's camp he had revenge on his mind. "First thing I gotta do is draw Gishg'ul out..."

A crossbow bolt found an archers temple as the Orc fell, Rogr'um had no love for his own kind so as he saw an Orc beating a slave he returned his crossbow to his back. Drawing his Orcish sword he leaped downward, "for Skirth!" Pulling his blade out of the green skin he looked to the slave, tossing her they keys he growled, "free your kind and get out..." The Orc bellow his blade had a bow on his back and s dagger in his hand should she choose to take it.

Jane tooked the keys and looked up at the orc with a confused expression, she have been here for three months and all the orcs have treated her badly, why would this one be any different. But he was. she took the dagger and smiled at the orc. she ran towards her fellow elves, unlocked there cage and ran towards the exits.

The guards began attacking elves, dwarves, and human slaves alike who had been set free. The more she freed the more got killed, there had to be a better way. A way to arm them before setting them free so that they would at least have a fighting chance! Meanwhile Rogr'um had encountered a Orc captain named Hogg the Heavy, he was one of three in this region of Black Isle. "Where is Gishg'ul!" Rogr'um yelled, "tell me or I'll spill your guts!" But all Hogg did was chuckle before grabbing Rogr'um and throwing him through a wall. Down a story and smashing into the muddy ground in front of a the camps armory, swords, daggers, war hammers, and crossbows filled the little shack but Rogr'um caught no mind to that. "Hogg you coward! Come down and fight!!!"

Jane notice a sword laying on the ground then another one. she yelled for the free slaves to take a weapon and fight to get out of the camp. there was a door that lead to the armory, the door was slight ajar as it was push and the lock broke. she looked in and saw the same orc that freed her, Maybe he need help. Jane picked up a sword and ran through the door to help him.

"Go slave, get out of here this is my fight." Mud splattered everywhere as Hogg jumped down and picked up a fallen war hammer swinging it to hit Rogr'um! Blocking with his arm he took some damage but avoided a critical hit on his head or vital areas. Bring his sword up to stab Hogg, the Orc captain caught the blade causing black blood to leak from his hand, "WHERE IS GISHG'UL!?!?!" Rogr'um yelled, he was not intimidated by Hogg even if hog was two whole feet taller, Rog was 6'1" while Hogg was just over 8 feet tall. 'No words for Dishonored swine!' Both Orcs pushed backwards as the lesser orcs began attacking Rogr'um all at once. In his mind he could still take them, but something seemed Erie about this situation... Just then a crossbow bolt struck Rogr'um's back, he needed someone to take out those archers but would never admit it.

Jane jumped as a bolt hit the Orc, she looked up and spotted two Archers, both with arrows already docked. Jane saw a bow on the ground, picked it up. there was a full quiver on the floor but it was on the other side of the room and between them was the to orcs. she would have to be quick, and she was. she reached the quivers with just a cut on her cheek. She dock an arrow and aimed for the orc that was about to fire on the Friendly orc. she let the string go and it flew into the air and hit the orc in the neck resulting the arrow to be released. but the aim was wrong and it missed the orc my meters. she was quick to docked another one and aimed it at the other orc archer, she released that arrow and it hit his chest right at the heart.

Spinning Rogr'um took out three of the seven guys attacking him, two headed into the shack cornering the elf while Rogr'um still fought the two near him and the Orc Captain! Decapitating one the war hammer found Ror'um's chest knocking him backwards breaking through a fence unleashing two Lizard-Wolves into the camp! One attacked the Captain while the other grabbed the smaller Orc in it's powerful jaw and ran off dragging the now dead Orc with it! As for the captain he jammed his war hammer into the beasts throat and twisted it causing the Lizard-Wolf to begin to choke and keel over, Hogg pulled the weapon out in one pull and smashed the beasts skull while Rogr'um found the strength to stand with a few bruised organs. "You wil die," he coughed and black blood spewed from his lips but he was still ready to fight.

Jane looked around for a way out, and as the orc surrounded her she saw her way out. "thank to elven gods for being agile." she thought. she jumped up using the splintered support beams as a stair she got herself to a safe distance to fire more arrows at the orcs that had once surrounded her

One of the orcs drops dead with an arrow in his face, while the other deflects the shot with his large Sheild and throws one of his spear at the elf! Outside Rogr'um picks up his sword slowly, "one last time, where is Gishg'ul...?"

Jane moved to the side as the weapon was fired and she shot an arrow back into his direction.

Deflecting it again it seemed ranged attack wouldn't work on this Orc. Outside blows began passing from Rogr'um to Hogg the Heavy and vice versa! Both grew more bruised and more bloody as the battle inside continued. Grabbing the elves leg he slammed the slave to the ground, then using his large shield he drove it downwards at the elves neck!

Jeston woke up, groaning from all the bruises the orcs had given him after his capture. He saw that the entire place was in an uproar,the slaves were fighting back. Another dwarf ran up to Jeston with blood all over his face, 'Come on, get up, we're gettin' out of here!' he said to Jeston as he helped him as Jeston noticed a spear hurling towards the dwarf behind him, 'Look out!' Jeston said and pointed to the spear, the dwarf turned around only to get brutally stabbed and fell to the ground, an orc approached Jeston, wiedling a battle axe, 'Get back to your cage, slave!' He said, going into a battle stance, Jeston was fed up of being called a slave since dwarves always believed in freedom. He picked up the the spear from the dwarf's corpse and went into a battle stance, 'I am slave to no one!' he yelled

Jane caught the spear with her free hand. the orc was much stronger then her, but she was smarter. Jane pretended to grow weak, but just as the orc gave one final push, she surprised him with rolling over. the spear hit the ground and she was already on top of the orc. she buried the dagger that the friendly Orc gave her, right into the back of the orc that was about to kill her.

The Orc with the battle axe laughed as an Orc from behind the dwarf stabbed into his back pushing him forward, 'have you any idea who's camp this is?' The Orc howled, 'I'm Urath the Ear Thief! I'm going to kill us Dwarf, steal your ear, and add it to my collection!" The Dwarf was now fighting a bigger Orc with a battle Axe and Urath one of the captains of this Slave camp!

Knocking the elf girl with the sheild once more must have thrown her off balance. With no spear in his hand only a sheild the Orc charged her and snapping the spear in to splinters! The girl landed at the feet of another Orc, who looked rather scrawny and simply began laughing hysterically, 'that's Kocoba the Quick, your infor it now girlie!' The Shield wielding Orc said, she was now up against the sheild baring Orc and Kocoba a captain of this Slave Camp.

As Rogr'um, his battle with Hogg had gotten a lot of attention, Orcs began to surround him and fight along side their captain, above the fight Gishg'ul looked out a window, and turned back to a lesser, smaller Orc, 'run south and tell Captain Worthor that I'm on my way... Tell him to send for Hoshgrish...' And with that the War Chief was gone along with his scout, all the while Rogr'um fought on ground level running his blade through Orcs while he parried Hogg's attacks!

Jane had lost both her weapons. and shields, dont do much damage, but the rage of the orc, there will be a lot of damage from it if Jane go hit by a swing. Jane duck as a the orc swung at her, she was going for the broken spear.

'You have an ear collection? Sheesh you really to get out and actually get a life,' Jeston joked as he stabbed the bigger orc in the foot with his spear and ran under his legs whilst attempting to escape.

Elf: The shack was torn apart by now and the captain looked to the lesser Orc and smiled as they both charged her at once, the captain had only a Sword and the Brute Orc had only a Shield! Changing her witch one hit, if any?

Dwarf: Urath swung his axe as they began their one on one dual! Parrying to the left he swung his axe disarming the dwarf then gave a powerful kick, punting the Dwarf a few meters away. "Give up your ear dwarf, you should worry about my life when yours is on the line!

Rogue Orc: Catching Hogg's war hammer with his own sword Rogr'um stepped down on it, bringing his sword upward to Hogg's neck! This sent Hogg's head sailing upward which frightened the Orcs nearby causing them to begin to flee. "Where is Gishg'ul!!!!" He turned to see the Orcs fighting in the shack, "if Hogg couldn't give me my information then maybe this captain can!"

Jane jumped up on to the box. "If I die, I Die a Free Elf." she thought while running along the beam. she still had the quiver of arrows but no bow. "blasted orc" she said. she jumped down be hind he Captain and the other orc. the dagger was still in the back of one of them. she grab at it, but it was out of her reach as he turned to face her.

The two were charging at her when she dodged and caused the Shield Orc to turn. The Captain was unable to stop and speared the lesser bigger Orc in the back pushing him forward and falling to the ground. The Captain began to laugh as the now dead Orc's shield crushed the elf woman. The world was growing silent apart from the captains laugh when all of a sudden she heard. "Where is Gishg'ul!" The sound of a sword breaking through Orc flesh could be heard then a squeeling, 'treat south, go south, no more!' A gooey sound could be heard then silence. Rogr'um walked over to the dead shield Orc and pulled him off the Elf, "be free slave," he said, offering her a hand to stand up with.

Jane took the hand and nodded" My people and i might be free. But I need to kill the one who killed my mother, and besides you save my life I am in your dept. I will follow you into battle, wherever it may lead" jane bowed, " I must keep vow. For the elven gods have have seen it"
