Tharge awaikens from a deep slumber with dreams of finding the Bloodskull cave. He had just recently spoke to Veralion about where he suspected a cave might be, ripe for the taking, with everything the Bloodskulls needed.
He rolled off the ground and got up to his feet. He grabbed his shovel and headed off to the far North.
After hours upon ours of digging with breaks here and there, a spot in the ground caved in. Tharge jumped back, and a hole shown in the ground. Tharge's eyes grew wide and his jaw hit the ground. He jumped in the whole and took a look...
A while later, as the sun could barely be seen rising with a red color today, Tharge surfaced. He grunted, knowing it was a good sign for a good day. He ran back to the small Bloodskull camp and grabbed a steak and a skull of a pig. When he arrived at the hole, he used his axe to drive the steak in the ground and thrusted the skull onto it. To signify, this, was Bloodskull Territory...
Tharge grined with satisfaction, and began to walk to town to find Veralion...
A Red Dawn..

Veralion and Tharge return at a quick pace and looks into the dark hole. He grins to Tharge, but then they hear a noise from inside...
They looked at each other with blank stares. Veralion nodded and pulled out his sword and Tharge flipped his wand around in his hand. Tharge sent in a fireball, and they both jumped in. .
As soon as the two went down, they came face to face with a Demon. Veralion growled as he began to parry the demons blows. Tharge stood close behind mumbling words quickly as flames flew all around. The demon swung his arm and knocked Veralion to the ground. Tharge could not do anything to stop the demon. As the demon stood over Veralion, he raised his weapon and prepared for the final blow. But Veralion planted his sword all the way up the demons gut with his rising attack.
The two chugged a potion and proceeded down. Their hopes of not encountering any other creature was crushed when the two made a wrong turn. Hissing, were two giant spiders. The spiders quickly creeped towards the two. Tharge jerked his wand and a large rock fell from the ceiling onto one of the spiders. The second spider got the best of Veralion and jumped on top of him. Its fangs dripped with venom onto Veralions chest plate armor and began eating it away. Tharge reaches to his boot and lashed a throwing knife, striking the spider in the center of its body, and it fell limp.
Veralion pushed the spider off of him and rubbed the eaten away chest armor. He frowned a bit, and the two continued their search.
Once the cave was explored fully, they returned to the surface. They agreed that they were glad they had removed a threat to other Skulls. They grinned and set up a small camp outside of the cave.
Over the fire, the two could barely be heard talking...
"Yub...Almost just how me dreamsed it..."
"Yubba. Wes not let anyting stops us dis time. Our landses, heh. Wes keeps."
They both tore in to some ham and sipped on their freshly brewed beer with joy.[/i]

Now that it was mid-day, Veralion stood again outside the cave. Tharge was long gone in sleep. As Veralion stood over the large entrance, he sniffed the air coming from it, and planted his ear on the ground to listen. He closed his eyes and shook his head. The next time he would enter his cave, was when the other Bloodskulls would be needed as well...

Somewhere deep down in the cave the walls seem to become alive. Silently, out of the dark, delusion outlines in red appear and like the gates of hell would have been opened, demons appear to the great hall. Spiders leave their nests that have given them shelder from the days a sudden earthquake had destroyed their origin home in the north western woods. Demons and spiders, united in their struggle for life, now ready to fight those intruders that dared to kill their guards intending to occupie that cave. Be scared, unsuspecting little orcs, your skulls be mine...

By that midday, Grunith had returned to the town of Troll's Bane with a big bundle of hare carcasses for fresh food. He had been out hunting for a week by himself searching for new food to refill his stockpile. About an hour after his return, he heard a rumor of the cheif and clan shaman up in the North digging for something. He smirked to himself as he found out about this and immediately he began to pack up. He became clad in his full suit of iron, orcish armor. His head had his strong and sturdy helmet placed on it and his chest and legs were covered with a chest plate and a sturdy pair of leather leggings. His heart pounded viciously as he slowly became entriced by the thoughts that came to his head. He was ready to move on out to join the cheif, and so he did. He took up his sword and axe and drew himself to the east gate of town. Shortly after, he walked out with a large and sly smirk on his face. He was ready.
An hour after that he came upon the cave where he found the cheif and tharge camping. Were they the only ones thus far? If they were then they would surely have to wait for other skulls to arrive, but at that moment, Grunith figured he would be enough to help claim the lands as their own for a while. He sat down by the fire and gazed upon the sleeping cheif as he awaited for his waking.

A few days after the cave had been discovered by the Clan's Shaman, Tharge, a few orcs went in with no idea of what to expect, but rather, of what they wanted to find. Grunith Shuth, Cheif Veralion, and Derthag of the bloodskulls all entered the cave ere the sun rose on the third day of the cave's existence. Inside they were baffeled by the stench that arose. It was one that was even more fouler than that of their own kind. It was one of the demons, the kin of the ancient beasts of Madrook Na'han. There the battle commenced. Grunith was the first to jump down, where the first wave of spiders pushed forward. He blocked them with his long orcish sword, but it was in vain. The spiders got the better of him and took a few bites from his leg.
If it wasn't for Derthag and the Cheif, Grunith would have fell to them horrid beasts and became their food. Shortly after, Derthag and Veralion jumped down with their weapons flailing, and their mouths snareling like rabid dogs. Soon the spiders all squeeked and fell victim to such ferociousness. The demons moved forward and in a sluggish manner. Soon they were upon the three orcs, and there the two groups battled. Grunith took a blow in the shoulder where he would limp for a few days after, and the other two amazingly evaded most of it. In the end the battle ended in victory, and the bloodskulls had claimed their cave. But maybe, this was only the beginning. More were surely to come.
