Radomils Mine

<div id="nativeroll_video_cont" style="display:none;"></div>

We’ve found the mine the heavily wounded dwarf told us about. Judging from first appearances, the orcs must have gone on a rampage.

It looks like the dwarven noble Radomil, who was in charge of this mine, was searching for the entrance to some hideout even further below ground. Whatever is hidden there, now we’re standing in front of a giant statue that presumably guards that entrance.

The orc leader, the blackpelted scoundrel, has actually dared to appeal to a demon for help. To our horror, a minotaur, a four-horned fighting machine, took shape in the pentagram before us.

Thank the Gods we have managed to cast it back to its hellish home Sphere.

But we’re still wondering how an orc could possibly have mastered such a complicated ritual of summoning in such a short time. It can’t have been just the demon tome.

Behind the desk with the demon book, we found Manresh. The orc attaced without hesitation, but we defeated him. As we searched the corpse for spoil, something very strange happened:

Out of Manresh’s cloven skull crept a grey worm, about one hand in length. It disappeared into a crack in the wall the moment we saw it. We never heard of such a creature before, but this “parasite” could have been the reason for the unnatural intelligence of the orc.

The mine must be bigger than that we’ve seen.
