Snippet #2631976

Jeremy found his drink interrupted by yet another mission; he was sent to some coal mine far from the human territories, with his short debriefing being: "The orcs are doing something weird there."

His bow was very drained from his most recent assault, so he recalibrated it to its most basic setting: silent shots. Not nearly as cool as piercing 2-feet thick plates, but effective. He was sent with a few other people, all human of course. He was the only half-blood in the human army; he wondered where other half-bloods ended up.

After a rather tiring walk on foot to the mine, they finally made it. Jeremy led the group, for he was instinctively stealthy and required this to get as close as possible to the mine without being spotted. At one point, he made the rest of the squad wait for him; he needed them to leave if he was going to achieve sneaking in undetected.

Slowly, but surely, he snuck through the orcs surrounding the mine. Clearly, they wanted to mine here, but why risk wasting their mammoth and leaving their base undefended for it? After hours of snooping, he realized why; iron, tons of iron were being dug out. This much iron could be enough to prepare a few goliaths for battle! He left without a trace, and decided to take his squad out for some fun.

They ran for the empty orc camp. They destroyed every tent, robbed them of their rations and weapons, and torched their little community. Jeremy enjoyed this, oh so very much; after the place was annihilated, he went back to the human city and let Cortez know of their actions and what they learned.
