Here is a copy of the journal entry that gives the picture's context:

Day 28 The Field of Terror

:iconhiccupplz::"I'm writing about shocking events that took place yesterday.

"Once we left the Gloomy Forest, we entered again into a wide plain of thick, golden grass as far as the eye could see. I started the day's usual routine of sending out scouts and rangers to search the perimeter for any signs of the enemy. Of course, there were no places to hide, so I felt that we were not in any immediate danger.

"That is until :iconvisr: came running like a mad man back to the caravan. 'ORCS!' he shouted to the team, 'THEY'RE CRAWLING ON THE GROUND! AND WE'RE SURROUNDED!'

"Suddenly Orc war horns blared from all directions, and thousands of orc soldiers stood up from their hiding places in the tall grass, forming an unbreakable wall of dark armor and hideous faces around the team. They began bellowing and taunting us with curses and oathes in their cruel language.

"Being the leader of this expedition, I raised my shield and sword and made my way to the front of our procession to lead our attack. 'Attack with me!' I yelled, and my melee figters rushed forward to punch a hole through the enemy line.

"But what happened next surprised everyone on my team. A coven of 7 Orc mages rose up, hovering in the air several feet above the tallest Orc. They extended their arms and in unison chanted some arcane spell. Upon completion of the spell, explosions of fire and rock errupted from the ground all around my team. The intense shockwave blew several of my team members into the air, spiraling out of control; others were blown off their feet and into each other. My team quickly fell into chaos as people shouted for help or shouted to attack or shouted to run.

"As I regained my senses on the ground, I came face to face with the Orc leader. With a snarled laugh, he brandished a long, sharp blade at me. As I started to stand up to battle my enemy counterpart, I immediately collapsed back down to the ground. My prosthetic leg had been shattered by the blast wave! So I stood on my knees and raised my sword.

"But I was not alone. Yami-Horus :iconyami-horus: immediately cast a confusion charm over the Orc leader, while missplayer30 :iconmissplayer30: cast a spell of clouding vision over the whole Orc army. Contraltissimo :iconcontraltissimo: also sang a charm of rally over our team, and everyone felt a surge of boldness come over them.

"Seizing upon the Orc leader's brief bewilderment, Master Rohan raced forward with his battle axe and took off the head of the Orc leader. Fishlegs ran forward and lifted me up on his shoulders, and I shouted, 'FOR VICTORY!' All of the team members that were conscious rallied around me, and we shot forward tearing a hole through the enemy wall. Bewilderment quickly spread through the Orcs in the absence of their leader (apparently Orcs aren't as loyal to their cause as humans are), and we turned the ambush into a route that lasted all day.

"Unfortunately, some of our supplies were ruined in the explosions, and any Orc food and drink that we found was unusable because Orcs intentionally spike their food and drink with poison that their bodies tolerate, but ours cannot. We need to find somewhere to restock soon, but there aren't any villages in this remote area.

"In the aftermath, most of our team members are injured, which has severely strained the healing abilities of our medics. Contraltissimo :iconcontraltissimo: has promised to help me repair my prosthetic leg once she has helped those who are more in need. I'll just use a set of improvised crutches I made from some splintered wood until then."


:icontuffnutlaplz::"*sniff, sniff* I almost died!*blows nose loudly* What kind of vacation is this?!?!"
:iconmasterrohan::"I am choosing to ignore you for now, oh stinky one."
:iconhiccupplz::'Thank you everyone for fighting so courageously. I even saw Tuffnut grab a sword and 'pin-cushion' some Orcs."
:icontuffnutlaplz::"Well....they stunk...worse than me! Gave 'em what they deserved, I did!"
:iconmasterrohan::"Hmmm.... perhaps Tuffnut has merit after all."
