Descent: JitD – The Black Orc Plague Part 1

This quest is designed to be relatively quick and easy as an introductory adventure, or part 1 of a progressively harder Campaign. Foul Black Orcs are the heroes’ main enemy in this quest, if Orc figures are unavilable simply use Beastmen figures as suggested by the Map – for this purpose they have exactly the same stats! Thanks to C. R. Kirby for inspiration – “The Rescue” proved to be an excellent short quest and the main idea has been re-produced here with a view to setting up a little campaign of two or three quests. http://app.fantasyflightgames.com/cgi-bin/quests/quest.cgi?command=comment&game=descent&scenario=200610201725455899&admin_id=0
