Title: I have a cunning plan!
Post by: Erik Arkay/Evinyatar on August 09, 2005, 05:19:44 pm
*Recruit Arkay is pacing in the Barracks central hall*

Bah! What an impossible mission. I 'ave to slay an Orc Brute to prove my worthiness to Commander Gregor... All by myself... Impossible! Impossible I tell ye! I'll never be able to get me one o' them Brutes without havin' the entire Fort on me!

*starts to walk down the stairs when all of a sudden*

Muhahaha! It's brilliant! Brilliant it is!

*Erik runs off in the direction of the Moongate*

After a while we find recruit Arkay near the Shrine of Compassion in Ilshenar

Where can I find the tribes that live around here? Where are the Savages? They 'ave somthin' I need! Thay have long ago mastered the art to walk among their mortal enemies, the Orcs, without being detected. I err.. well... ehm... I just need to borrow that special Orcish mask they wear!

Pardon me, Savage, may I borrow your Mask?

*immediately the savage tries to stab Erik in the back*

Wha? Why you dirty little!

*Erik huffs and puffs*

Well, that was harder then expected but at least I've got what I came for! The first part of my cunnin' plan! Muhahahaha!

A few hours later we find Erik back at the Cove Orc Fort

Hey! Pssst! Pssst! Hey you!
*An Orcish lord comes dashing for the Recruit*
Mind if I borrow your armour?

*Erik puts on the Orc Lords Armour and the Orcish Mask*
Muhahaha! Those blithering fools will never know what hit them!

Careful now lad! Careful! Mustn't let them suspect something! I better blend in a bit!

Now....Where is that Orc Brute? It has to be here somewhere! Commander Eason told me I'd recognise 'im when I saw 'im.

By the Avatar! That thing is more then thrice the size of me! Well, doesn't help sniggering about it. I better start proving my worthiness if I ever want to join the Grenadiers!

The gamble worked off. Erik had been able to infiltrate the Orcish Fort without being detected but now he's in for a pickle.
*Orcs come dashing from all directions screaming and shouting and they don't look like they want to discuss table manners*

Better turn tail now! *runs off shooting arrows behind him* Blimey! I've got the entire Fort on my tail!

*Erik shoots arrows like a madman trying to stay ahead of the persuing mob*

(http://img78.imageshack.us/img78/5474/battleorc25th.jpg)

*Finally the Orc Brute falls dead with several arrows stuck in his skull*

(http://img78.imageshack.us/img78/488/deadorc8ye.jpg)

Roight! Now te get rid of ye lot! *Erik looks menacingly at the other Orcs still chasing him* Not so brave now eh, without ye big brother?

*A few minutes later Erik can finally claim his prize*

I better keep this brute's head to show to Commander Eason. He should be most pleased indeed! I wonder if I should tell him about the tactics I used though. *rubs chin* Maybe I should just say I single handedly wiped out the entire garrisson? *stiffles a grin* Nay nay, It's always good to have.... a cunning plan!

Masterfully done, Mr Arkay.  Not terribly BRIGHT, these orcs, but they do tend to overcompensate in terms of brutality. 

*muses*

"I... have a cunning plan!"

What a delightful little turn of phrase that is.  Not sure why... just has a nice ring to it.    Remind me to use it sometime, just before I'm about to think of something appropriately brilliant...

*Arkay hands Eason the Brute's skull*

Yuck! Good work, Arkay!
*thinks to himself; "Wonder how he managed that..."*
*ponders*

(OOC: Hahah! Exceptional work *Grins*)

Commander Eason,
Cove Militia & Baronship Council

*grinning slyly as she listens in from the shadows*

That's why I alwayes keep a few orc halms locked away.... just in case.  Smart fellow that Erik.
