The orc captain continued to read out loud more and more of the reports about the activity within the mountain. Airom Logat was in a state of emergency. One of the first towns which became a fort had fallen. It was said that only one vampire, Cracky Batcheeks attacked the town and demolished the orc forces there.
Of the many surprises, the defeat of the favored Dryklash, the Balefire Butcher, stunned many. That was a Captain that could contend with a Champion Orc! And yet, he was defeated! The details of the fight also revealed who the vampire was able to kill Dryklash in a quick fight easily.
Dryklash managed to fight back but died on the third strike of this vampire.
Third!
Only three strikes were needed to down a Captain, which had the defenses akin to a Champion!
The defeat made the orders to defend the main Fort increase. More and more outposts received the orders to pull back.
But this one didn't.
