Siege of Yew's Shrine -- Enter at Your Own Peril
The borders of Bloodclan territory having been scouted, kult'dush made his way stealthily through the woods towards the fort. Upon coming to the clearing he began to hear the familiar clangs of steel smashing against ringmail, feeling the tensions and energies of a fight. He focused his senses on the battle at hand and instinctively understood the situation. This was singular combat. That much he could tell. The testing of weapons and armor prior to a raid as he could hear them back their attacks off one another in a non lethal manner. Behind him pugs hunted and killed what they could to supply resources for the horde. From across the way he took note of the sounds of fellow orcs restocking their supplies and preparing for war at the hut. kult'dush's skin then immediately rippled with large bumps as his adrenaline began to kick in, building excitement inside of him. He could sense the coming blood for The Bloodgod. The tension and energy was palpable.
Bursting through the front door kult'dush fervently asked his brethren inside about the coming battle he knew would soon commence.
"EY LATZ! Whud da skahn hek. Meeb smyll da bluud ihn da ayr." He said excitedly half telling and half asking. Mimicking sniffling the air.
With that his fellow orc's detailed the reports that were received from their scouts: who keep track of organizational movements within the region. These reports indicated Yew had finished building a new shrine around a mighty YEW tree. Earlier reports said it was a full fledged fort defense with multiple entrances one with a metal gate. As they explained the situation report to him kult'dush restocked his supplies, grabbing his favorite war gear. Packing his secondary pack with only his light weight gear in case of emergency. kult then began making his plans to scout the inside of the fort itself if possible and the buildings that were not yet infiltrated. There was a black spot in their information that needed to be filled. This was his job. He had to go speak with the War Council before moving out to scout, he wasn't sure of the marching orders and if they were already getting ready to go. Before he could even ask anymore questions the war call was heard from inside the fort.
As kult stepped out the front door he saw pugs, gruntees, and grunts alike pouring into the front of the fort. That familiar smell of a horde of orcs grew stronger and stronger. The sounds and smells of grunts, growls, snarls, farts, burps, vomit, dead horse flesh, dead human flesh and everything in between rose and rose as those with freshly acquired trophies poured into the fort. Instinctively they all begin falling in line except a lone stupid pug. Obviously not taking the hint from the rest of what every single other orc around is doing.
"ey! lyn ub lat!" one of the council spat
Jumping from reflex or trauma the pug stepped into line knowing the punishment awaiting him for messing up again.
All kult could think about was maximizing the amount of blood spilled and having success. How this mission was not fully scouted. There were gaps in information he did not like. As he thought more and more about the information given to him everyone around him began moving. The meeting was over just as quick as it started. It was time for bloodletting.
-----------------------------------------
During the march towards the target location kult gathered what information he could from Gurzhir on YEW's shrine fort and its defenses. Gurz has suspected there being an access switch inside the fort to open the barred metal gate. The group of Bloodclan orcs arrived upon the fort with a tentative plan to get more information while building their own fort outside of the YEW stronghold. Forcing anyone into combat on their terms to obtain control of the situation while having a base camp of operation.
As Bloodclan came through the wooded path up to the fort the overwhelming scent of humans and horses sent tingles up every orcs spine. They knew within moments they would be feasting on blood for the bloodgod... Blood of all kinds.
With but a single command the horde of orcs rushed the fort.
"Charjjjj!!!!!!!"
Countless orcs burst through the forest line catching unsuspecting humans between the oncoming onslaught and the front walls of YEW's fort.
HOOWAHH!!!!! could be heard seemingly from every direction.
The rhythmic sound of synchronized footsteps softened only for a brief moment as the first victim of the night turned to see a group of orcs midair, axes in hand, berserker raging into the throng of humans.
Bolas whizzed through the air around the rushing orcs, knocking riders from their horses as nearby orcs stabbed, slashed, ripped, and bit into the easy food. A second contingent of orcs rushed slightly to the west of the ensuing chaos to set up their makeshift fort, quickly covering it with debris and camouflage to help protect it.
kult'dush sneakily moved through the bloodshed, taking mental notes of the amount of combatants, who was affiliated with who. Marking threats from greatest to least threat level. He gauged the battlefield and noticed a group of humans rushing, fully mounted, towards those setting up the mobile siege fort. As quickly as his brain was processing the battlefield he lunged from the darkness slipping his spear to his back and raising a bola in one swift motion. He singled out the rider on the easiest looking food to kill and let his bola rip with lethal accuracy. The rider fell flat on his face as the orc got tied up in the ropes.
In just as quick an instant Nok'Tor lunged at the horse, dropping it immediately and focusing down the felled rider. In the span of 5 seconds the human lay flat, krimped between 3 other orcs and a sea of corpses piling up outside their mobile fort.
"BLUUD FUR DA BLUUDGUD!" they screamed in unison as kult'dush quickly took the humans head and retreated to the shadows while Nok'Tor went back to guarding the mobile fort.
kult took another moment to survey the battlefield and immediately scouted for signs of YEW. He wanted to see their response to the new battlefield at their front door. He snuck around the outskirts, noticing their scouts were focused heavily on the new combat and the heat picking up outside their fort. Peering through a crack in the side of the wall he could see YEW as a whole generally relaxed WITHIN the fort but laser focused on what was going on outside the fort. He saw many a human get krimped and killed within the front curtain of the fort but they kept making push after push. This is when kult got a brilliantly stupid idea.
Taking off the heavy ring mail armor and putting it in a stash spot off to the side of the fort itself he equipped his light gear and prepared to make his entrance in the chaos of the humans next push inside. kult'dush pulled the fresh human head from his bag and began to carefully peel the skin from its face. Plastering it over his own beautiful face really hurt him deep inside, to him there is nothing worse than pretending to be a human, or acting in any way shape or form like them. Except the thought of losing a battle and not appeasing the bluudgud. There is nothing worse than that. So all would be forgiven in the end. Its about results.
kult grabbed a basic human robe from where the ground was littered with them and then snuck towards to the front of the gate. There he awaited his chance to sneak in to the fort and do the work of their lord and savior. The Bloodgod.
