Having just joined the army and been given a tour of the immediate Cove area I could not wait to get soldiering, as it were. Watchman Railen who had been showing me around kindly agreed to extend the tour to go meet the locals at the orc fort to the south.
We made our way to the fort, and ran into the orcs almost immediately, of course.
All went well, and I was able to keep the orcs off of me better then I had expected until we came across an orc more then twice the size of those around it, just in the center of the fort. I was taken by surprise by the sheer strength of the giant orc, and found myself knocked to the ground in seconds. Fortunately Watchman Railen was able to help pull me away to safety, and after a second to clear my head we charged back in again, with the added support of Regular Arcanist Celuvian Haap.
We eventually retreated back to Cove to patch up our bruises (mostly mine), and get a break. All in all we brought back over 6000 gold pieces.
