"We had been at the ruins for about a month when the diggers uncovered a tunnel entrance to a tomb. The archaeologists were excited, as they apparently were hoping to find the burial place of Meneleus, who was one of Alexander the Great's generals. We sent a rider to get word by sea to Gracchus Nervii, the senator who was the patron of the expedition. A beast with wings and a lion's head demanded tribute or swore to attack us, but Sergius,the assistant to Matriculus, who was the chief of the operation and whom I was charged to protect...Ah. but I lose the thread. Sergius gave the beast cheap bracelets, torcs, trade goods we had brought in case we had any troubles with the local tribesm, and it departed. The digging went well, and there were no other threats..Until suddenly without warning orcs set upon the camp. They were organized, and numerous. I fled into the swamp, then circled back, hoping to surprise them while they were looting the camp." He wipe his brow, flicking his hand to spatter drops of sweat upon the leaves and needles upon the ground."They had killed the workers we had hired, along with both of the other guards. Matriculus was allive, however...bound in their camp. They seemed to be settling in and waiting. The next morning they were attacked by these..." he scuffs his foot in the direction of one of the dog-men. "I charged in, thinking I could rescue Matriculus in the confusion. But I was struck by some foul sorcery...frozen...the orcs were killed in turn, and then these creatures stripped and divided my equipment, along with the rest of the contents of our camp. These two took me...the others killed their orcish prisoners, and then carried Matriculus into the tunnels.." He stops, his voice cracking once more.</blockquote>
