Hunt for Riches

Hunt for Riches is a campaign in First Orc Book.

## Background

15 years later, the Deathbreeze Clan's leadership was in vacuum, with factions vying for the leadership of the clan. Rangul, one of them, trying to make himself deserving of the leadership, tries to do anything, but most of them, are looking at him as a weak leader material, because of his decision of taking Vanessa as his own. He sees an event that can change the view of his clansmen.

## Opening

He was present in his base, set up near an Elven/Dwarven/Human expedition, trying to obtain an artifact the Elves obtained: The Scepter of Healing, an artifact that can passively heal any force nearby.

## Quest

### Main Quest:

* Destroy the Castle of the Elves.

Description: The Elves found a powerful artifact. Since the Orcs block their passage back to safety, they were forced to store it within their castle. In order to gain the artifact, Rangul has to destroy the castle and take the scepter.

### Side Quest:

* Defeat the Archmage who leads the siege.

Description: A Warlord, who doesn't agree with Rangul being Chieftain of the Deathbreeze Clan, has learned of the scepter as well. He leads his forces to this place to obtain the scepter before Rangul can do so, but he was ambushed and they struck him down. However, some of his men are still alive - and besieged by the Imperials. If freed, they might join Rangul - or forced to do so if they deny their assistance. The shamans among them might be useful.

## The Battle

Rangul has to build defenses and a strong force to scout around the area. Then, heading to the bridge North, they found a Gold Mine inside an abandoned Human base, guarded by Demons. They defeated the Demons, Then destroyed the Human buildings, then built a base on it.

Then, after building a decent defense against enemy attacks, they focused on the bridge West, they enountered and defeated the Imperial sentries, up to the base where they besiege a Deathbreeze camp. Rangul killed the Archmage and destroyed the Imperial siege base and approached the Deathbreeze survivors, who pledged their allegiance to him, having a base ready. He also freed several prisoners on the camp.

Then, he either goes South, through several Human villages, several Imperial Army bases and a Dwarven Kingdom expedition base led by Mordin Hammerfall, or cut through a thick forest to uncover a cave system that directs the exit directly towards the Elven Army expedition base led by Saphira Whisperwind. Either way, he built a strong force and strong defensive position and forced their way towards the Elven castle. They razed the Elven base and the Dwarven base, optionally destroying the Human bases.

### True Story

The gameplay was still the same, but Amari led the Deathbreeze instead of Rangul.

## Aftermath

Rangul got what he wanted: the Scepter of Healing. Rahandir Drakeskull ambushed and killed Saphira Whisperwind as she tried to fall back, then reanimated her corpse. Zarin Hammerfall learnt about his brother's death at the hands of Orcs, which he wants vengeance, leading him joining Redfist.

## Cutscene

Rangul rallied his children and his confidante, planning to take the mantle of Chieftain, needing another Clan to fulfill it. The Darkmind Clan fits the bill, while Sasrogarn gets on the coast, building a base nearby.

## Outcome

Destroying the Imperial base will count as a negative point regarding Vanessa's decision to join her father.

## True Story

The mission had changes:

* Amari led the raid, instead of Rangul.
* Ephrog and Sasrogarn was there. But they are in dialogues only. Sasrogarn was the one who reported to Rangul that Amari is fighting alongside the raiders. It ended up with Amari's banishment.
* Lord Brian the Fallen talks to Amari while she was in exile.
* The time from Pillage to this time was shorter, 10 years had passed.
* Rangul became chief of the Deathbreeze earlier, unlike on the original, where he need the Scepter to prove himself.
