Description

From the publisher:

Towering, gloomy and impressive, the orc fortress stands on top of a bare rocky platform. A sloped ramp connects the gateway of the fortress. Orc kings and shamans of the past built the fortress, over a conquered dwarven settlement. Nothing remains of the settlement but the level of the crypts, far beneath the ground. The orc fortress consists of three levels plus two underground levels. The ground level hosts barracks and troops lodging as well as a defensive system made of arrowslits and defensive devices. Two sturdy portcullises protect the main courtyard. On level one, more barracks are found and a great number of catapults defend the fortress from all sides. Level two houses the warlord’s apartments and a great balcony overlooking the entire area. Below the ground level, there is the temple area. The Temple of the Eye dominates the area and the clerics’ lodgings surround the temple. In addition, a secret way connects this level with an underground caverns complex. Deeper is found the old dwarven crypt complex, now converted to orcs’ crypts.
Some hints to use the fortress follow.

A princess has been kidnapped from the orc warlord and taken to the fortress. The PCs are charged with the duty to rescue her. An old shaman shows the party a secret entrance below the fortress.

In order to solve the problem the commander of the good army send the PCs through a secret passage underground with the order of killing the orc warlord.
