Most of them aren't! Which was why it was so surprising that this one was trying to be, because I was sure that it was an orc. I never did find out what he was trying to pull, either, but it's always some sort of trouble since so many of them worship demons and all they do is smash skulls and burn villages.

[They worship Bael'zal, in particular - a rival demon lord for control of Lionde. Caedra hates orcs. She's killed quite a few of them now since slavers always bring them into the City of Rust for sale and any one of them could be a spy.]

I knew the city better than he did, so I cut him off after a couple blocks. Ran my sword right through his heart before he realized I was even a threat. But they're tough! As he was dying he reached out and grabbed me and - and he electrocuted me! I didn't know orcs could cast at the time. I woke up about three hours later when one of the city guard found us lying there in a ditch, me covered in burn marks and orc blood.
