“Boss, boss!” shouted one of the workmen, waving at the surveyor “We’ve got something weird here!”

The Royal Surveyor looked up from his notes, to where the workmen had been clearing the path from the moongate, ready for him to inspect it. The men were pulling some large stone object out of the ground, and not being terribly careful about it.

He walked up to it, and rubbed some of the dirt off the stone. There was an inscription or a carving there. How odd. Brushing away more dirt, a face began to appear. A brutish, snarling face, with fangs.

“Why would anyone want to carve such an ugly face?” He wondered. He didn’t have long to wonder, though. A large club struck him in the back of the head, and the last sound he heard was “Hoowaaah!!!”

The orcs were all over the survey team in no time at all. Not a single Britannian survived. The orcish war party carefully, almost lovingly, picked up the stone carving, and began carrying it away.

“Dumhed pushdug oomies! Nub ged thingys!”

What you need to know:

• You get to fight orcs. What else do you need to know?
• Oh, ok. Gates will appear in the usual places.
• Gather at the EM Hall – which is where the gates go to
• Be careful – the orcs may be gathering near the hall!
