Today's event went off without a hitch thanks to the Amazing Siege Perilous community. The Orcs managed to defend the Yew Orc Fort for close to 55 minutes, and were overrun as we sounded our retreat alarm which signaled the Orcs guarding the Tokuno Artifacts and Power Scrolls to begin removing items from the Orc Box for transport to our base of operations in Malas.
Members of many guilds, and even a few solo players showed up to try their luck against us. Representing their guilds were UWSP, and GIL. Others were there as well, but many of them were not displaying Guild Tags, or were representing themselves. It was amazing to see so many humans working together against a common enemy.
At the conclusion of the event the Orcs admitted defeat after an hour of full-blown clomping against the humans of Siege. It was an L we are proud to take, as we learned a lot about our tactics, and how to improve not only our teamwork (Buorca) but the event moving forward into the future. We hope that Siege Perilous had just as much fun as we did for the duration of the Furt Defenz!
Shortly after the event, and our internal debrief, we decided that @Tanager would be awarded a medal for bravery from the Orcs. She was the first human to contest us, and also one of the Humans who made it into the fort the most. For her extreme show of force, bravery, and bloodlust, she was awarded an honorary Lusk uv Bravuree. This one of a kind item was forged by Orcish Mak'rs using ancient techniques and then burned in the fires of the Buurz'Ash (The Dark One) at the Malas Orc Fort. We know that she is worthy of wielding such a weapon because she did not die as soon as she it was presented to her.
Below is a shortened version of the video as it was recorded from our perspective. The original file was almost one hour long, so I cut it down a bit to just the juiciest bits. There is some language in the video as we were in voice chat, but you can tell that we were having a blast. (I had forgotten to unmute my microphone in OBS, so my voice shall remain shrouded in mystery)
