The Borphen Mire

"Heroes, after some considerable amount of consultation with Our council this Quest We have for you! The Borphen Mire lies in the South Western quarter of the Kingdom. Recently strange sounds have been heard there at night, and just last afternoon two persons who lived close to the swamp were reported missing! Go to the swamp and discover the source of the disturbance. Solve the issue and you will be rewarded!" The King declared.

Just this one time King Roger I of the house of Arabghym actually wanted the Adventurers to succeed: because whatever was mucking about in the swamps there was NOT one of his! With his secret kickback schemes in disarray the lucrative tax revenues from the area were criticality important.

"Considerz it don' Yer Majesty!" Ghazgul said happily, but one of the two female orcs stopped him.

"Yer exaltid rulership, we'z wishin' tá demonstrate fer ya anuver advantage uv 'iz lordship Ere!" Gugraka declared.

King Roger I groaned inwardly, ANOTHER female party wanting to pay 'tribute', but then realised that they were not talking about HIM; because the other female orc was unbuckling Ghazgul's belt. Soon the king saw Ghazgul's manhood and was involuntarily impressed. It was the first he had ever seen that rivaled his own in length and girth, perhaps even exceed his slightly, though he wasn't about to mesure them. As the two Orcish women started to lick and fondle it their faces took on a look of pure bliss. For five minutes obscene and lascivious sounds of licking and sucking echoed in the finely wrought acoustics of the audience chamber, befor they both suddenly collapsed on the floor shaking and gasping as though having a seizure! Without turning a hair Ghazgul Magnum Uruhk Throckley buckled his pants again and picked each of them up with one massive arm. "Yer used tá it too, ain't-Cha Yer Majesty? Dey's bin gettin' better, but Dey still can't last evin ten minutes wif an audience makin' it hot..." Ghazgul chuckled, and carried the half-**** Orc women out of the audience hall...

The King sat in shock. He knew more than Ghazgul about that power: Ghazgul Magnum Uruhk Throckley was born of a royal line, a prince among orcs, and destined to rule an Orcish nation. He could easily become either a potent ally, or deadly foe...

In both cases, he bore watching!
