Saturday Night, the CF forces were looking for a fight. GC forces we running a bit scared.  In fact, when the CF forces appeared at the Shame Dungeon entrance, the GC folk inside camped in fear.  So much for the vaunted 'domination' of the shard.  I guess camping in a dungeon is a mark of an 'aggressive' and 'dominating' force.  Hmmm, I thought it had something to do with winning battles, not making gold...
 

Anyway, I returned to Siege as a ghost.  The night previously I had died while trying to storm the orc fort with CF forces.

I arose and ressed near the orc fort. 

As I headed to Yew, I ran into a battle between the Cove Pirates and the Shadowclan Orcs.  I would have loved to help, but I had no weapon.

You must love the Pirates.  Their fashion sense is good.
I reequipped from the various vendors and started to stalk lone orcs.  I tangled with one, but lacking bandages, had to run.

Finally, I headed toward the Orc Keep.  I could only track one orc, a mojoka.  I felt it would be easy to kill him.  I slowly moved toward him, hiding and tracking.  I attacked him only to find a bunch of orcs lying in wait for me.  I was surrounded, and perished.
I then headed home and went to meet up with CF forces.  After chasing GC around the shard with them running every time, we headed to the orc fort.

We found the orc fort deserted.  Happily we prepared to hold it against the owners.
Soon enough, Shadowclan appeared with the allies UDL and UND.  

The new guild, DTM also appeared.  From the safety of the fort, we watch the other fight.  DTM was outnumbered and the fight did not go well for them.
We had a pleasant time using all the orc's tricks against them.  Boy, with a few good mages and archers the fort is not tough to hold.
After beating the forces down a bit, the melee warriors headed out to do battle.  As always, Darth was ready with a timely heal for me during combat.  After running out of arrows inside, I was happy to loot a corpse of 200+ arrows.  Thank you Shadowclan!
Many died from SC and DTM.  The UDL were mainly on horseback, so they avoided wholesale slaughter, but they fell as well.
A view of the carnage in front of the fort.
As straggler orcs wander on to the scene, they were chased down and forced to nap.  Here Darth and Sir Heffner enforce the CF nap policy on poor zulta.

All in all, a good time.  CF enjoyed fighting this night.  If only we could convince GC to fight instead of beating silly monsters.   Does GC stand for Gold Collectors?
