Rescue

Rescue is a campaign in First Orc Book.

## Background

Rangul, planning to take the Deathbreeze Clan leadership, wants another Orc Clan to assist him in his endeavor, and Darkmind Clan fits the bill.

The Darkmind Clan, after Grael the Hunter and most of them are killed by Imperial and Kasrkin on the forests, were cornered, it is up to Rangul to save them.

## Opening

Rangul approached the forest, when Rath Wolfscar approached them, telling that they are late. But Rangul assists them either way.

## Quest

### Main Quest:

* Destroy the Imperial Rearguard base.
* Darkmind Clan base must survive.

Description: The Darkmind Clan has been destroyed by the Imperial Army led by Blen Greymoore, a famous and skillful leader. Rath Wolfscar managed to gather some remnants of the Clan but the Imperials intended to burn the whole forest to annihilate them completely. The Imperial Rearguard must be defeated in order to allow the Darkmind Clan remnants to flee and join Rangul's cause.

### Side Quest:

* Kill Xxingraal the Great Brood Mother.

Description: According to the scouts, there's the nest of the infamous Xxingraal, the Great Brood Mother. This accursed creature destroyed a whole Orc Clan, and laid eggs inside their corpses. This spider is too dangerous to be allowed to exist.

* Rescue the Warlocks (at least one of them).

Description: Some Warlocks of the Darkmind Clan have been captured by the Imperial Army. Rangul doesn't know why the Humans didn't just kill them but it isn't important right now. The warlock's power could be useful.

* Don't kill any Kasrkin unit.

Description: General Blen Greymoore's elite unit, the Kasrkin, has set up a camp in the hill in the burned down south of the forest. Their forces and defenses are too strong for the weakened Darkmind Clan. For some reason, they haven't joined the fight against the Orcs yet. If someone provoke them by killing one of the patrols, however, they might likely change their mind.

## The Battle

Rangul and Rath had to rescue as many stranded Orcs as possible and build defenses along the bases. They eliminated an Imperial raiding team, taking a Gold Mine in the process. They then built a forward defense on the area, also building a defense around the Darkmind camp. Then, the duo gathered a force including survivors to eliminate their enemies. They encountered and killed several of them, leading the path to an Imperial base. Despite casualties due to strong defenders, Rangul and Rath destroyed them and rescued all Warlocks. They built a base on that area.

Then, they focus on the Spiders, killing all of them and encountered Xxingraal. With the duo outwitting her, they killed the Spider Broodmother. Then they focused on the last Imperial base. Repelling another attack and Darkmind sending an attack force, they attacked the base. They evaded places where Kasrkin Elite patrols are, focusing on the Imperial base instead. After losses, they destroyed the camp, and retreated before the Kasrkin arrives.

### True Story

The gameplay is still the same, but with adjustments. The Kasrkin was replaced by Grey Guard members. Then, the Imperial Army bases were replaced by the Wolf Regiment, Salrian Army and Bull Regiment.

## Aftermath

Rath and Rangul reorganized their forces and escape in time for Kasrkin attack.

## Outcome

Should you not kill the Broodmother, spiders come attacking Blen Greymoore's base, given that you will not hinder their passage. And the Skullblade Clan will become your enemies in Rise of the Deathbreeze. Should you kill her, no spider attacks, and the Skullblade Clan leader Gorthog the Blooddrinker joins Rangul in his fight.

Should you attack the Kasrkin, another negative point for Vanessa.

## True Story

The mission is still the same objectives, but there are major changes:

* The Kasrkin were replaced by the Grey Guard.
* The Imperial Regiment named Phoenix Regiment, elements of both Wolf Regiment and Bull Regiment, Lerrig's own unit under Cassius the Red and Salrian Army were the opponents, replacing the Imperial Army stationed.
* Cutscene of massacre of women and young Orcs were committed by the Imperials, as opposed of offscreen massacre.
* Rangul can train Darkmind Clan units.
* Rescuing Warlocks was removed from the side quest. As is also there are no stragglers in the burning Orc bases, only the attackers were loitering on it.
* There are no stragglers fighting against the Imperials in the burning villages.
