The orcs had an unexpected encounter. A small group of humans tried to get past them, and soon they realized it was a delivery bound for the goblins—something they had no choice but to allow. Among the humans was a woman, one of the ugliest things the orcs had ever laid eyes on. But orcs didn't share the same perception of beauty as goblins, so her presence hardly mattered.
The humans, however, wouldn't take no for an answer. If the orcs denied them passage, it would only raise suspicion, and suspicion was the last thing they needed. The orcs had only one real option, but Kragg himself intervened. There had been no prior notice of this delivery, and with tensions already at an all-time high between orcs and humans, every decision mattered.
"Why haven't you granted us passage?" one of the humans demanded, his tone showing no trace of respect. Perhaps it was arrogance, or perhaps it was because they had been delayed longer than usual. It was the time of trade, after all.
