==Mission briefing==
Our spies report that a band of Human soldiers have captured a war party led by Troll commander Zuljin and have taken them to a secret prison near the township of Hillsbrad.

The War Chief believes that this raid upon the unsuspecting prison will strike terror into the hearts of those who would dare resist the Horde.

===Strategy guide account===
:Note: this account comes from the Official Strategy Guide, which features a first-person description of each mission from the game.
The Horde's grunts gathered in the courtyard of their village, eager to seek carnage. Every soldier marched north, shouting war cries, leaving the peons behind scratching their heads. The war party encountered feeble resistance and swept forward toward the enemy prison camp, leaving the village unattended. As such, the workers were given the day off. On reaching the prison camp, the troops first massacred the guards and patrolled about looking for more, before venting their frustration on the walls of the prison. They then followed the frozen river west and then south, finding more humans and slaughtering them. Finally they continued south to an abandoned troll village near Hillsbrad, which they claimed for themselves.Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness The Official Strategy Guide, pg. 156-157
