The Sorceror Insidiae Lord Mikhael ap Arawn,

I just received information that an Illisturious Kings-Guardsmen Unit unexpectedly been approaching from the northwest, heading southeast toward my unit. Fortunately, they are most likely expecting to find two orog units, not my unit, whose location has been kept secret to the best of our ability.

Thus, you need not worry about our capability to defeat the elves. However, our ace lies in our secrecy, and in the hope that the Kings-Guardsmens' scouts do not detect anything unusual during their approach. On your current trajectory toward the village of Graze-Hollow, it is possible that you will be detected by the scouts, who often precede the troops by several days.

To be safe, I ask that you take a detour to the northeast through the Boga Trench, which will deposit you just short of Graze-Hollow. There are a tribe of ogres in the pass, but Ul Orog Yotus PhlegmSlinger knows the area and can safely circumvent the tribe. In any event, your party is not worried about ogres, but the elves will be, and they will not send scouts to the trench.

Your friend and commander,

Ul Uruk Haiin Daniel Archibald
