Krushed
Krusha Murgg, Krusha Murgg - he's all your lads ever want to talk about nowadays, that orruk boss who claims to be uniting the mobs of the Bloodwind Spoil. Normally, you wouldn't be against getting together for some good, old-fashioned violence, but you're sick of hearing Murgg's name. Especially since the warlord keeps sending his lads to try to 'rekroot' you.
All of those swaggering messengers have ended up pummelled, shanked or otherwise disposed of for bothering you, but that's hardly the point. Now Krusha has run out of patience. The Megaboss and his toughest lads have arrived to batter you into submission; it's time to teach him a lesson. Other members of Murgg's mob have gathered to watch the ensuing scrap. If you can impress them with suitably grisly acts of carnage delivered to their mates, Murgg will lose face - before you do him in for good, that is.
