Attack of the Cave Orcs is the second Quest of the main campaign of SpellForce: The Order of Dawn.

‘ Cave Orcs have followed to take revenge for their slain comrades. They are attacking the town! ‘

~ Quest log

Description

Having reached Sartarius, the Phoenix Bearer warned him of the trap Rohen Tahir was walking into. However, their conversation was promptly cut short by a guard of House Wulfgar alarming the city due to an attack of the Cave Orcs who followed the Rune Warrior from the Shadow Pass. With no time to lose, Sartarius gave command of a squad of Order soldiers to the Phoenix Bearer, urging her to repel the attack.

Once the city had been successfully defended, she returned to Sartarius, after which they discussed how to proceed on the matter at hand. He told her that Rohen was likely to make a stop in Liannon to visit Darius Servil, so that's where she should head next as well. Before leaving, he gave her a rune of another warrior whom she may summon to her aid, as well as a letter securing her safe passage to Liannon.

 =Description=
-The story begins with the [[Phoenix Bearer]], summoned by [[Rohen Tahir]], tasked with seeking out [[Sartarius]], headmaster of [[the Order of Dawn]], in [[Greyfell]]. She makes her way through the mountains of the [[Shadow Pass]], together with [[the Messenger]] of the Order meant to assist her.
+Having reached [[Sartarius]], the [[Phoenix Bearer]] warned him of the trap [[Rohen Tahir]] was walking into. However, their conversation was promptly cut short by a guard of [[House Wulfgar]] alarming the city due to an attack of the [[Cave Orcs]] who followed the [[Rune Warrior]] from the [[Shadow Pass]]. With no time to lose, Sartarius gave command of a squad of Order soldiers to the Phoenix Bearer, urging her to repel the attack.
-Passing through an outpost of the royal house [[House Wulfgar|Wulfgar]], they dispatch a batch of hostile creatures, before suddenly being confronted by a mysterious hooded figure known as the [[Dark One]]. The masked mage incapacitates the [[Rune Warrior]] and hands over a casket containing battle plans to the Messenger who had been working for him this entire time. He then commands him to kill the Rune Warrior, before disappearing. Though hesitant, the Messenger obliges and attempts to end the Phoenix Bearer's life, though his efforts prove to be futile as he is swiftly struck down, the casket looted from his body.
+Once the city had been successfully defended, she returned to Sartarius, after which they discussed how to proceed on the matter at hand. He told her that Rohen was likely to make a stop in [[Liannon]] to visit [[Ereon|Darius Servil]], so that's where she should head next as well. Before leaving, he gave her a rune of another warrior whom she may summon to her aid, as well as a letter securing her safe passage to Liannon.
-The commotion is witnessed by [[Rondolf Lighthand]], a mage who advises the Phoenix Bearer to use the nearby [[Rune Monument]] to create an army, for the way to Greyfell had been blocked by Goblins, making it impossible to traverse alone. She heeds his warning and, after summoning an army strong enough to break through, attacks the settlement of the creatures, decimating it.
-Continuing eastward, passing a small encampment of [[Cave Orcs]], the Phoenix Bearer is approached by [[Peasant Lemuel]], begging her for aid. His village had been attacked by Cave Orcs and, with no guardsmen nearby, was sure to perish with no outside help. The Rune Warrior quickly sent her army to the village, saving its inhabitants and acquiring their gratitude in the process, before continuing her journey to Greyfell where she finally reached Sartarius in the house of the Order.
