text: You march through Elf territory with a little over 50 other Orcs, marching through a hilly area with some trees. You've been sent with Karn Deathreaper, the massive orc with the notched armor, to investigate a small Elf War Party. You've yet to experience any real combat, with your previous time here simply being maneuvering into flanking positions to force the enemy to retreat and moving forward. Still, the sun is particularly red, so you there'll be a battle today with Gorgok watching.
  
  
  "Orcs! Halt!" Karn screams, and you stop moving.
  
  
  Karn Deathreaper truly earned his name. The amount of enemies he's slain is among the hundreds if not thousands. He's a fearsome creature, and you can't wait to see him do battle.
  
  
  "The sun wishes us good luck. We'll do well in the battle." One of the Orcs near you says happily.
  
  
  "Cease your superstitions, Nagrak. We might not even fight today." Another replies.
  
  
  "One can hope." Nagrak eagerly replies.
  
  
  In the blink of an eye, a dozen Orcs are dead. You see six Elves standing on top of the hills, light golden armor and long blond hair holding bows.
  > You quickly alert and direct your own Archers to the Elves
  You turn to your archers, but it's clear the Elves targeted them first. Most are dead, and the few remaining drop to their knees and begin firing, but the elves are uphill, naturally better archers and have the wind in their favor. It's clear the elves have carefully chosen this ambush site.
  
  
  You feel an arrow thud into your chest. It shatters on your plate armor, but the force is enough to break a few ribs and you groan loudly. You raise your shield, and another arrow thuds into it.
  
  
  "Orcs! Regroup, and keep those shields up!" Karn screams.
  
  
  You huddle together, and as a group begin rushing uphill rapidly towards the Elves. The Elves fire a few more arrows at you both, but quickly turn heel and run. You reach the summit of the hill and watch as the Elves disappear into a small woods down the hill.
  
  
  "Come on, Orcs! We follow them and make sure the worms can feast on Elf Flesh tonight!" Karn yells.
