Kusghuul was on his fort's ramparts, accompanied by a few of the last orcs and skeletons at his disposal. His spies had identified Grim'zlog as alive and in the Covian orc fort. Grumbling, he threw the last female human slave onto a spike below. She'd served her use. But there was only so much punishment a frail human could take. He had to find Grim'zlog. The humans had grown audacious in their attempts upon the orcs, slaughtering orc children and women with impunity.
Setting out at night, Kusghuul quickly traversed the waters of Vesper, sneaking past the militia's patrols. He quickly found himself with Grim'zlog, one of his old companions. Making their way through Cove's outskirts, they had their fun with an unlucky peasant girl before spotting a guard, whom they told to get his friends, as only one of them wouldn't be much sport, and they needed more gold. Busying themselves by setting fire to the Church, the minions of Raiden soon appeared, keen to die.
After defeating the humans, they made their way to Trinsic where the guards had evacuated people in fear of the pair. On their way back to the moongate, the pair heard voices from inside the Rose. Rummaging about the food storages left the orcs in a peculiar predicament before they managed to get out of the infernal building. A quick march had them in Stonekeep, where they proceeded to attempt to vandalise their church, but the rain stopped their attempts at setting it ablaze. Bored, they headed back to Swaggers...
Once the pair reached Swaggers combat ensued, with cowardly tactics utilised by their mages kept the orcs at bay for a while until Kusghuul, now separated from Grim'zlog, managed to corner a mercenary in the forest. All that saved the poor soul was the timely appearance of another straggler, and Kusghuul, now very hungry, decided he needed more man-flesh in his soup. The human fled back to its masters, whereupon Kusghuul sounded the retreat, on an empty belly and hungry for more violence.
