Our mission..? To attack the Orc Fort, from the Sea! Grenadier Sergeant Raiden Morana lead the assault, but our trustworthy Covian Commodore, Arma Renox aided Sergeant Morana in the seaborne attack. His help was much appreciated as the bunch of guardsman that showed up didn't look like much of a ship-sailing crew at all.
How we managed to fit all of the guardsman onto that one small boat will trouble me 'till the grave, but yet we still managed it, and the ship finally departed from a little north of Cove Docks, as the docks seemed rather busy.
Past the Lighthouse, past the rocky mountains, we continued South. We all clung to the side, hoping not to get thrown overboard. This was especially true for Junior Falconheart, as he seemed to be petrified of the sea.
As we traveled South, the seas started to become more rough, and the Sergeant gave the order to ready ourselves for any dangerous creatures that may lurk in the depths of the ocean..
..The water started to bubble, and at that moment we all knew the Sergeant's call to ready ourselves was definitely a good one. Out of nowhere, it seemed, sprung two gigantic sea serpents of red scale. The group did a fine job in slaying the serpents, but soon after dealing the final blow to the red scaled serpents, we were flanked by two serpents of blue scale. Again the group did a fine job in battle. It was obvious that the squashed decks of the boat were an excellent place for cross-healing.
The rest of the journey was peaceful, thankfully, as we were all quite exhausted from the serpent-slaying. We finally reached the Orc Fort docks, we all knew that the exhaustion was just going to increase.
Commodore Renox dropped Anchor, and let us all alight the ship. The battle started straight away! Two Orc Scouts came rushing towards us with flaming torches, screaming Avatar-knows-what at us. The first to jump off the boat took the Scouts down with ease, but more were to follow..
..We quickly formed around the Sergeant, and made our way to what seemed to be a huge blockade.
"Orcs? The knowledge of blockades? Surely not.." Exclaimed Sergeant Morana. The rest of us thought little of it, and smashed the blockade to bits. Once we were able to get through, we noticed a different kind of Orc waiting for us.
After the Hunt was complete, Junior Falconheart told us that they were from a different tribe, something to with the face-paint apparently.
"They're still stupid Orcs!" I thought to myself, and continued to slice through the different kinds of Orc one by one.
We finally made it to the main entrance to the Orc Fort. However, another blockade stood in our path. Although we had to make our way back through the fort to get to the Commodore's boat, we decided to smash down the blockade anyway, out of spite. Once on the other side, we came upon the beast that is known as the Orc Brute. The skill of the group was top-knotch that eve, however, and the Brute went down hard. Once finishing with the Brute, we made our way back through the corpse-ridden Orc Fort.
We all jumped back onto the Commodore's ship happily, knowing that the journey back would be easy. Alas, no sooner had this thought entered our minds, the infamous sea creature that is the Krakken attacked our little boat. We fought hard, and one of our Recruits managed to get knocked in the process, but in all we came out on top! A sigh of relief could be heard from every mouth on that ship. (Apart from Falconheart who was still shaking with fear).
The Commodore, out of the kindness of his heart, took us in his boat 'right to our doorstep' as the Sergeant put it as we all jumped happily onto Covian soil. And that was the end of the hunt! And the Sergeant said we could keep the loot we had taken from the Orcs! A most excellent hunt indeed!
