So far, OGG has mostly invaded the human kingdom. While they were stopped every time, with support from the other species, the humans have still been weakened a lot. The deities have decided that the next invasion will leave them completely alone, so they can recover a bit. With their supply of titanium, OGG was able to create a new path through the mountains that leads right to the dwarves!

Secluded in their giant caves and tunnels, protected by their stone walls, the dwarves have been almost completely unaffected by the wars. While they are strong, their short stature makes them ineffective warriors. They can't travel as fast as the others, and are easily cut down by the much taller orks. Aside from a few archers and mages, the dwarven people don't directly contribute to the war effort.

I said directly, though. While the dwarves themselves don't fight much, it's them who mine all of the metal used to create weapons and armor. Without them, soldiers would be effectively useless.

Still, that's no excuse for holing themselves up in the mountains. Ars, the deity in charge of them, said that they were heading towards stagnation. Because the dwarves prided themselves as 'master miners' (note my sarcasm), they didn't bother improving their techniques. Primis, with everyone's agreement, decided that they needed a shock; that shock being an army of armored orks destroying their 'indestructible' (sarcasm again) cities.

And so, the orks have spent the last five years digging right through the mountains to the dwarves. When it was finished, an army of five thousand orks marched to a dwarven outpost with a population of a few hundred. The news of its destruction (brought by a few lucky survivors) alerted the dwarf king of his impending doom, and had him assemble his tiny, underprepared army. Most of the fighters are just conscripted citizens, who have been training for under a week. They have barely have a thousand actual soldiers! It's going to be a slaughter! Muahahahaha!

-two days later-

The dwarves sent for help, but that won’t arrive for another few days. While worried that many of them will die, they’re confident that their stone walls will repulse the orks. They are so wrong!

When attacking the surrounding villages, the orks were careful to keep their siege engines hidden. Now that they have reached the fortress, they’re bringing out the secret weapons!

The dwarves whispered fearfully at the sight of a dozen wooden contraptions. The catapults do look pretty imposing, especially when surrounded by so many orks. The commander is giving a heroic speech; something about how ‘we can never lose to those savages, because we are favored by the great deity Ars!’. I’ll have you know, dwarves, that Ars is the one who said you should be attacked! This is hilarious!

The orks are advancing. But instead of charging blindly like they normally do, they stopped just out of bow range. They’re loading the catapults now. They’re using the largest boulders now, rocks as large as a man’s torso. Gothmog is shouting, and- score!

The dwarven capital is in a giant cavern, and was carved right out of the walls. Because of that, the walls are pretty massive; the outer walls are about twenty feet high, and five feet thick. When you look at them from a dwarf’s perspective, they look impenetrable.

And naturally, the first volley knocked out large chunks out of it. Their last defence, a giant stone wall, is being destroyed quite easily. The dwarves are getting really scared now. They’re cowering behind the barrier like pigs from a butcher, and soon they’ll- what? WHAT?

The dwarfs are charging. Six thousand of them against five thousand much larger and stronger orks. The stupidity of my creations astounds me. Instead of running away from their enemies, they’re charging, to protect their homes and families- oh, now I get it. It’s actually quite brave.

And to reward their bravery (and to encourage their blind faith), Ars has sent the dwarves a blessing; a giant strength boost! The orks are being shredded. The catapults are being destroyed.

-30 minutes later-

Well, that’s over with. I was getting so excited for the slaughter, and the deities ruined it. What a bunch of party poopers. The dwarves are cheering, not knowing that they were supposed to die!

…

…

Well, I guess I’ll just kill the dwarves later with some giant unnatural disaster, like the entire mountain sinking into a giant pool of lava. Ooh, that’s good. I think I’ll do that.
