Khan has spent the past week perfecting his use of magic missile and the time required to use it. He has managed to get it down to 1.5 seconds for casting time but Gomrick says that he will not continue to teach him until he can double cast two magic missiles in 1 second. Luckily with his increased mastery in using magic ,on account of his new class, he is wasting a lot less mana and with the levels he has gained increased the size of his mana pool. However he is not only putting points in intelligence he is an Orc at heart and cant bear to have a weak body.

Meanwhile in the snowy woods near the plains Gudok is tracking some goblin foot prints in the snow "SNIFF SNIFF, that way." Gudok eventually comes across a cave surrounded by trees and two Goblins on the look out. 'Huh, Guards they must have a shaman or an goblin champion leading them. Dammit I'll need help from Haulkfur to take out the leader then." Gudok then marked down the location on a map and put some key land marks on the map to. He then headed back he needed to report to the chieftain and form a group to take down the goblin clan.
Later in the chieftains house- "Chieftain I have found a nest of goblins in the forest about a days travel away. It appears to be lead by either a goblin champion or shaman for when I found them their were guards." Gudok said kneeling in front of the chieftain.
"This is great if we can take out those goblins the shaman will have all he needs to set up his magic formation. We can also give the recruits some combat experience increasing their chances of survival in the upcoming battle. Take Haulkfur with you I don't want any accidents you hear me. It's okay if some of the recruits die but not our warriors. Go see the shaman for something to help you." The chieftain said gesturing for Gudok to rise.
"Yes chieftain I will take Haulkfur and the recruits along with some seasoned warriors with me to take out those goblins." Gudok said leaving the house.
The Fire Bird Clan was home to over 500 orcs all in a village surrounded by wooden walls. It was composed of about 100 elderly and maimed over 100 children and 200 workers while the rest were orc warriors. Although all orcs had tough bodies not all of them wanted to be a warriors or passed basic training they took up the other jobs like cooks, craftsmen, blacksmiths, and farmers.
After exiting the house Gudok started to head towards the shaman's house which was near the back of the village away from anyone else and where none would dare to go. Upon arriving he could smell blood and death all around however their was a pleasant smell coming from the garden to the side where different kinds of plants were growing in all different colors and shapes.
Upon knocking on the door he was received with a harsh "What!" by Sangus
"Sangus its me The chieftain wanted me to pick something to help me before I go fight a goblin clan." Gudok said annoyed.
"Oh perfect I just finished the test trial for this new blood pill I made. I could always use some more gunnie pigs." Sangus replied opening the door with a big smile.
"Shut up you bastard I'm not a gunnie pig." Gudok replied clenching his fist.
"Oh we both know that you won't refuse it. Anyway its a great pill it will get your blood pumping and cause your strength and speed to increase by at least 15% maybe 20% only downside it that the effect lasts only about two minutes and then after you will be extremally tired." Sangus said handing gudok a vile with a red pill inside it.
"Ughhh, I'll beat your ass one day shaman" Gudok said spiting the words through clenched teeth.
Gudok then snatched the vile out of the shaman's hand and starting to head to the gates of the village. Passing through the gates he started to head out to the opposite direction of the slave camp to a more pronounced dirt road.
After about 5 minutes he heard Haulkfur's yelling "Come on you pigs faster faster!!! My great grandmother could run faster then you and she lost her leg to a direwolf!!!"
An orc recruit smirked and said to his fellow orc "I thought she lost it to a chimera last time!"
"I heard that drop and give 100!!!" Haulkfur yelled at the recruit.
"Haulkfur I need to speak with you" Gudok said walking over to him.
"I can feel it you found the goblin nest didn't you and if you are coming to me that means there is a goblin champion or better" Haulkfur said with a big grin on his face beaming with excitement and bloodlust.
"Hold your excitement the chieftain also wants us to baby sit these recruits for the fight." Gudok said placing his hand on Haulkfur's shoulder.
"SIGH. That's okay it is still fun to see the recruits see blood and bleed for themselves for the first time. Nothing like an orc forged in the heat of battle I just wish they could of had a more honorable combatant." Haulkfur said turning to face the recruits with a sad smile on his face.
"Sometimes its better to learn how to fight dirty first. Their will probably be some more deaths but those that survive will always be prepared for anything. So chose the best 10 recruits and lets go. We will set out in the morning it is about a days travel so we will rest halfway and wait for night before striking. I will grab three warriors from the guard patrol to join us" Gudok said turning away to head back to the camp.
Haulkfur turned to the 30 odd recruits and made them line up. After looking at them for awhile he pointed at ten of them and made them step forward "Okay you pigs I guess you get a chance to see your first blood and have your first fight. We will be setting out in the morning I want you all to grab short swords or small axes and a buckler we will be fighting in close courters in a cave against goblins. You here me!!!"
"Yes Sir!!" the ten orcs replied in unison.
"Then why the hell are you still standing here!"
"go-Going sir" they responded heading off to the village armory.
"God I hope its an goblin champion I can still remember my first fight against one or I guess the first 5 seconds before I was knocked unconscious. KULKKULKULKKULK!!" Haulkfur laughed while turning to the remaining recruits and yelling "Play time is over back to work the slowest orc at the end of the day has to cover up the old Latrine!!!"
