I was sat in the Memorial Square with Railen. We were minding our own business when a stinking greenskin started skulking around. I tried to shoo the ugly beast away but it would not depart, instead it became more brasen and approached us. The orc uttered it's filthy black speech at us. I recognised a few bits such as -
"drink your blood",
"bash",
"gold" and
"Klion's mother".
I was concerned fer Rai, she had been struck down by an orcish bowman only a couple of nights prior and been mugged and assaulted prior to that on her visits to Cove, so when it became apparent that the orc wanted a confrontation I made a slight diversion allowing Railen to flee and hide whilst I hastily donned my helm and armed myself.
The Commander beats down an orc raider.The beast raised it's bow as I charged, war axe in hand. It loosed bolt after bolt at me and weilded it's heathen wizardry but to no avail. Moments later it was writhing in a pool of it's own foul lifeblood. With the recent orc attacks on the Baronship on the increase I reached down to hack off a clump of it's dank, matted hair and nailed it to the city walls as a warning to the stinking greenskins.
Show the stinkoes who's boss I say!
*signed*Raiden, Commander.
[ooc]As those pesky orcs seem to be posting paintings of their triumphs I thought after being attacked last night it might by nice for us Covians to get our own back!
