Citizens of the Pacific Shard have reported a minor Orc invasion in the vicinity of the Britain/Yew/Skara Brae crossroads. I went to check this out, and sure enough, the area is infested with a number of orc scouts--probably 10-15. These orcs haven't been seen in this vicinity before according to witnesses. No one seems to know why this incursion is underway. And if the Town Criers know anything, they weren't telling me!

So far, the orcs have not sent any overwhelming force. This seems to be just an advance scouting party. We are watching closely for further developments.

I am going there tonight on my Pali and see what is going on with this new bunch of Orcs.

Maybe they're hungry for snake skin?

lol

I decided to check out thhis situation last night. Cautiously, I approached the crossroads area, spying nothing. Then suddenly out of no where, I was ambushed by several orc scouts. I fought, but was overwhelmed by sheer numbers. I advise people to use caution when approaching the area, especially since they are able to call for reinforcements.

I have no knowledge of UO history. Was the orc invasion on Europa shard cross sharded like the invasion of britain or was it europa only?

I don't know. I've received further word that these orcs may have been around for a while now, but their presence remains a mystery.

I went to the new Orc Cave NW of Brit today and ventured inside to find Orcs galore.

The entrance is in an alcove and is easy to find after you battle your way through the Orc horde that guards it.



Once inside you find Orcs, Orc Scouts, Orc Lords, and Orc Choppers all guarding an Orc Fort of sorts.



After fighting your way through this you find an entrance to another lower level, there are 3 levels total.



Once walk thru the entrance you come to level 2.

This level is populated with Orcs, Orc Mages, Orc Bombers, Orc Lords, Corpsers, Dire Wolves, Spiders, and rats. This level also looks like they are trying to set up a home of sorts with Magery/Alchemists room, a prisoner area/jail, etc.











In the upper right corner you come to the entrance to the 3rd and last level.



Exiting this entrance I came across Orcs, Orc Bombers, Orc Choppers, an Orc Brute, and Earth Elementals. This level has all kinds of drilling and mining equipment all about.



This level looks like either a mining operation of a tunneling operation. In the lower right corner there is a black hole, the sorts that are in the Solon cave, but I wasn't able to go down it...yet at least.



I will be posting pictures of my adventure here as soon as I can figure out how to include them...

Nice
