 Hello Bumblebees, it is I, Philip Magnus. In this, this is a tale of a ranger, a lone ranger in fact. Who has decided to take on all of Mordor? Oh, look, a vendetta mission. They allow you to avenge the deaths of other players. Go to the vendetta mission to kill the captain that defeated them. Right, that sounds actually quite a lot of fun. Where are those? Hmm, I actually don't see a single vendetta mission right now. Never mind that, we've got a bit of a holy crusade to go on. And indeed we are going to rescue a few prisoners, we're going to kill a few orcs, nothing too shabby, not at all. Let's see then, a few broken tools have earned these slaves days of torture. Slay the orcs, guarding them and set them free. Oh, it will be a pleasure. As I was playing yesterday, I had a most unfortunate accident. Oh, a ledge kill. Left shift plus top. Right then. Can we do one of those then? First we need to find a ledge. As I was saying, I had a most unfortunate accident. You see, I made probably one of the best commentaries of my life. Alas, lal. Someone's sneaking about. But Xplit absolutely destroyed my footage, and that annoyed me greatly. Yes, the corpse indeed. How dreadful, how awful. Absolutely unexpected. I'm sorry, I can't. I can barely contain myself. I know it was safely to kill him stealthily, but to brutalize an orc or not. I'm always going to go with brutalize. It's in my nature, you see. I'm a bit of a saviour part, at least when it comes to orc-human relationships. I really don't like orcs or goblins for that matter. I find it very curious that Tolkien used to actually call orcs goblins in Hobbit, and then all of a sudden he completely switched to orcs, and really he completely neglected goblins. It was kind of sad. I like the word goblins. But it was not meant to be. Orcs are in their own right, acceptable, and I do not respect them any less for not being goblins. Oh boy, are we going to have a fight here? Uh oh. Let me have a few more arrows to do that, you know. So I suppose that... nah. Fine. You died too. I suppose, uh oh. Oh well. Time to hide away. Almost beautiful, come to think of it. Oh look, an elf shot. I'll take that, thank you very much. Yes indeed. I suppose I can... no? Right. This should count as a lovely way to dispose of an orc. Anyway, now I can free the slave. Hopefully he will find his way back to safety. All that pain over a stupid broken shovel. Yeah. I'm actually surprised they use you as slaves at all and not just kill you in the first place. But hey, do it your own I guess. Right then, on to our actual quest. And today we're going to do some climbing the ranks. We're going to help our good friend Radbag once again. And what are we going to do? Well, we're going to keep him alive. Again, sounds familiar. I know, I know. I don't make these quests up, mind. Yes, yes, man-filled. And you're orc-filled, but do I point it out? No, I just stab you in the back with sharp objects. So do me the same cursesy and shut up and try to stab me in the back! Ah, orcs are such unacceptable creatures. No common murderous cursesy. Wonder how long it will be until I have to put Radbag in the ground. Well, he is not in a good place right now. Yes, thank you. I agree. So that didn't count as a stealth kill. Sorry. These things happened to me. An awful lot of the time. I just nappened kill people with my bow. It's a problem with me. Why then? I think I can find the best way to go about this killing spree. And of course, the best is how it starts from the back. Are they having a debate on whether they can execute Radbag or not? That's awfully... And it's time to begin. Oh, we have an epic voice, I see. And I don't think you've got a sparkly weapon. Uh-oh. Shields are really annoying. Boy, I see. So that's going to be a bit more difficult in my last few fun times with the captain. Not too late. I'm sure I will somehow manage. That was kind of rude. But not too early. You'll get your own soon enough. Just like that guy. He got a blade thrust through the stomach. And I've heard that is particularly painful. Let's see how you take my steamy blade up Your orc bit. You know those sore shield guards? Really, really annoying. Oh, he's invulnerable to range, that's unpleasant. But he is not, however, invulnerable to several stops. And now I think it's time to interrogate this annoying little captain. Let's see what you've got. The warchiefs are the most powerful rank in the orc forces. Captains' espires become warchiefs. Some will murder, assassinate and backstab their way to the top. Others will try to gain favor or protection by serving warchiefs as bodyguards. Excellent news. This connection indicates that Brock is the bodyguard of an unknown warchief. Hello. You're my first warchief. I feel special. Let's see then. In order to gain intel on warchiefs, you must interrogate a captain or a worm. When you draw out a warchief, all his bodyguards will also be there to defend him. Fair enough. Oh, he's damaged by ranged attacks. That's excellent news. I love ranged attacks. I especially love headshotting these gustingly ugly orcs. Even though this is not the most disgusting orc I've seen today. That honor, yes, belongs to Radbag. Damaged by combat finishes, good to know. We're going to get back to this in some time. Yes, teamwork. This keeps happening, Radbag. Oh, you want to be warchief. That was kind of obvious, I'll grant him that. Warchief he is. Delicious. I was thinking that it was your plan before as well, but here we are, me saving your life again. It's kind of becoming an annoying habit. Yeah, let's say that's how it happened. Yeah, that was not how it happened. Radbag led us up the chain of command in spite of himself. He has a gift for failure. An impressive orc nonetheless. Oh, I've got a new objective. Four warchiefs to kill. Aye, this will be delicious. Let's see then. Did I unlock anything good? I actually have an empty rune slot on the ground executioner. We'll take it for now. Let's make a few upgrades. Hmm, still drain. No, could be useful. But then again I usually hit orcs in the head. So I'll take this instead. Anything else I can buy, dearie? Not enough? Not enough at all. Hey, we are progressing rather nicely, I would say. Shall we do one more? We should not do this now. Let's actually forge the legend of the dagger, Arkon. Because hey, why not? Wait, wait, wait, what? Okay, new plan. Let's do something like this. Yes, let's confront the captain. I was terribly, terribly confused for the moment. Hmm, your imminent death, I would have to say. Yes, you are. Go tell your friends. Ashgan the Crusher. Do I have any information on one Ashgan the Crusher? Some captains can be found engaging in power struggles, including one another for dominance or proving themselves. These missions can be a good opportunity to catch the captain you're hunting in a vulnerable position. If you don't intervene, these captains will complete their missions when time passes, killing each other and growing in power. So that would have to be a no then. Right, we'll just kill him anyway. Or run away. This is going to be so much fun. All going for boom. You're rather big. And even uglier, then run back. Uh oh. What the hell just happened? Let my arrow fly. What's that? Oi, no one be calling me a dark knight. And you are currently burning. Which I bet is... No, that is true. Um, no I think not. Bye. You are easy to kill. You are terribly easy, in fact. And your orcs far too late, dearly. And far too dead, I would have to say. Oh, how I enjoy putting them on flame. He's dead. Guess what? He is terribly dead. So is you, his friend. And so is this guy. And he will never hop away again. Ha ha. Hop little rabbits. Rabbits us. Come, come. Excuse me. I had Bolvian stuck in my shirt.
