《The Adventures of the Mask Maker》Ransacking the Orcs' Storage Room
Advertisement
Charging with my fellow adventurers, the Lizardmen, and the manipulated Orcs, we arrived in front of the seething Demon Orc.
In unison:
"CCCCHHHHHAAAARRRRGGGGGEEEEE!!!" Adventurers roared.
"KKKKKKIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!" Lizardmen screamed.
"OOOIIIIINNNNNNKKKKKK!!! OINK! OINK!" Orcs oinked (sorry don't know what orcs would say).
Everyone charged to attack the Demon Orc. Fireballs blazing, swords flashing, arrows piercing...but nothing seems to be effective against the Demon Orc. His wounds heal at an ultra fast rate...our most powerful attacks were ineffective and only served to tickle him. Laughing, the Demon Orc swung his huge weapon, instantly pulverizing tens of Lizardmen and Orcs. My fellow adventurers decided that if physical attacks and magical attacks won't work, then they will dish out curses, hexes, poisons, basically any long-lasting debuffs. Looking at what seems to be a hopeless battle, I pondered at what I could help with. With my materials being limited, I cannot make a powerful mask to help out my fellow peers. Suddenly, an idea popped into my head. I looked around to see if anyone was looking my way before I slipped out and left the scene of the battle.
Now many might think I was scared and ran away...nah, its just a strategic retreat. Moreover, I had another objective I wanted to finish. With an army as big as the Orcs'...they must have some sort of treasury or wealth...right? I hurried towards the fortress and entered quietly. Looking around, I see that there was no one here. After rummaging around, I finally found the storage room. Expecting to see rare treasures, I was left with disappointment when I saw mediocre weapons, some different herbs, a book or two, some metal and crystal ores, and what looks to be at most 500 silver. Not surprising now that I realized that the Orcs have only ransacked small villages. I carefully looked at the items and found that most of the weapons are on their last bit of durability. The herbs are mostly medicinal, with a few antidote and burns relief. The books, surprisingly are the basic acupuncture and basic bloodletting techniques...apparently someone in one of those ransacked villages wanted to be a doctor (doctors and healers are different in that doctors don't know magic). Looking at the ores, I found that hidden within the pile of regular metal and crystal ores is fist-sized moon rock...hmmm, this may come in handy.

Realizing that it is late, I stored all the items in my bag and hurried out. It seems that many of the Lizardmen and Orcs are dead and most of my fellow adventurers have retreated. The Demon Orc seemed to be half stuck in a portal...it may take him some time to get out. Checking one last time to make sure I didn't miss anything, I left and headed back to the tavern.
