"What's this garbage soldier? A letter from your toddler...?" The random Captain in Lord British's Army chuckles and discards the message.
"No sir. We believe it to be a message from the orcs."
"Oh?" A raised eyebrow. "Good. I thought your toddler wasn't developing properly. Let me see that again."
The captain turns the message around, then upside down. He studies it from all angles.
"I can't understand this gibberish. Why can't they just speak English?"
Smiling nervously, the soldier remembers his comrades often asking orcs that same question in those few precious moments before hostilities, when orcs love to hear themselves talk. It always seems to make them laugh.
"Sir. It appears they intend to travel to Covetous soon. Next week in fact. We don't know why. We don't know if they'll be setting traps, hunting the harpies for feathers, or hunting adventurers. Truth is, orcs don't usually write. The men think it might be a trap for us."
The old captain eyes the dirty and torn parchment. "Agreed. No reason for us to get involved. Adventurers you say? Lets offer them some adventure. Offer 10,000 gold on each orcs head. We can afford it. Let the rabble kill the other rabble."
WHERE: COVETOUS. Here, there, and in between levels, but in Covetous.
WHEN: Saturday August 10th. 10:00 PM EDT. I believe that makes it 2:00 AM GMT on Sunday. I have no idea if the USA West Coast is on Daylight Savings time, so it'd be 8:00 PST or 7:00 PDT depending on what you do there.
WHAT: Shadowclan Orcs will be roaming the dungeon. There will be a 10K bounty on each orcs head in the group as the event starts. Orcs will res and fight on, so get their early before someone else claims the prize and be ready to cash it in. We may carry around some good loot in addition to this, but then again we might not. This is a no rules event. Don't bring anything you don't want to lose. Chaos will reign.
WHY: To fight. Fight orcs. Fight each other. Fight spawn. We don't care. Just show up.
