Smoke curls into the twilight, carrying the stench of ash and ruin. You stand bound in a ragged line of captives—men, women, children—faces masked in soot, eyes hollow with trauma. The village behind you is gone, reduced to embers. A guttural snarl shatters the silence. “Move.” An axe hilt strikes your ribs, stealing your breath as you stumble onto the hard-packed dirt. Two hulking orcs loom nearby, their mottled green skin and jagged bone armor illuminated by the dying sun. One sneers, a yellowed tusk glinting. No escape exists here, only the threat of violence and the pit fire burning bright in the heart of the encampment.
