The Quest For The Sword

Quest 1 - Ogre Chieftain's Stronghold Level 1


You remember the words that Erich von Carron spoke to you in warning about the halls of Kazrad-Kain.  It was once a thriving Dwarven community; now it is the home to a number of Orc clans held together under the merciless leadership of Hogrod Trollslaughterer, an Ogre Chieftain of considerable fame.

After silencing the guards, you step into the corridor of Hogrod's Stronghold.  The first thing you notice is that, like most Orc living quarters, the halls are in a serious state of disrepair:  the doors are ill-fitting and battered and water seeps through the floor.  The floors are covered with a thick layer of dirt and waste, and the air is damp and stale.  To an Orc this is paradise; to you it is torture.  However, it is a torture you must endure if you are to find Sonneklinge.


Wandering Monster - Orc


Notes:

A.  This is the entrance to the quest.  


B.  Gragath Rogant is in this room.  He is represented on the map with the letter 'X'.  His stats are below.  If you don't have a large Orc to use for him, use the Orc with the notched sword.  Read to the players when the first Hero enters this room "You see a large Orc here, plotting with some other Orcs.  They appear to be planning the takeover of the stronghold.  This Orc must be Gragath Rogant.  He turns and sees you.  'What?' he screams.  'Spies!  Kill them!  Kill them all!'. All the Orcs in the room attack."

Gragath Rogant:  Movement 8,  Attack 4,  Defend 4,  Body 3,  Mind 2


C.  When a Hero first enters this room, read "An Orc is leading some Goblin slaves by a chain here.  He sees you and yells 'Attack', releasing the slaves."


D.  This is the exit from the quest.
