CUTSCENE
Thrall: It’s been three days, and this… prophet has yet to show himself. I hope I’m not making a huge mistake by trusting him.
Grunt: Warchief, the clans are assembling as you ordered, but it will take them some time to reach us.
Thrall: Then we must prepare this camp immediately. I want my warriors to have food and proper lodgings when they arrive.
Grunt: Yes, Warchief.
Thrall: Warrior, has there been any word from Hellscream? He and the Warsong clan were supposed to have been here by now.
Grunt: No, Warchief. We haven’t heard from Hellscream in some time.
Thrall: Damn it, Hellscream. Where the hell are you?

Narrator: Here are a few additional peons. To increase the rate of gold collection, order them to harvest from the same gold mine.

MAIN QUEST COMPLETED
- Establish a Base
CUTSCENE
Captain: You orcs are in violation of the Alliance Internment Act! We’ve already captured one of yoru leaders. If you surrender now, we’ll spare your lives.
Grunt: Warchief, they say they’ve captured one of our leaders! Maybe they’re referring to Hellscream?
Thrall: I hope not. But if they have captured Hellscream, I’ll make them regret it! Lok-Tar Ogar! Come, my warriors! We must drive the humans back!
Build a new Grunt (G).
Build an Orc Burrow (O).
Note: The Captain and 4 Footmen attack your tower near the bridge (south). Kill them, or you can ignore them — as both towers kill them eventually.
Grunt: The wretched humans have been destroyed!
Note: Now that you have 5 Grunts, send Thrall and the grunts to kill these Gnolls. Use Chain Lightning on the Gnoll Warden Level 3.

Head south along the road. You will find a sole Footman. After killing him, the cage opens to release an ally Shaman. The Shaman has the Purge ability: Removes all buffs from a target unit, and slows its movement speed by a factor of 5. Purged units will slowly regain their movement speed over 15 sec. Deals 400 damage to summoned units. Costs 75 Mana.
NEW UNIT ACQUIRED
Shaman – This spellcaster has a ranged attack and can cast the Purge spell on enemy units to slow their movement.
Narrator: When you control multiple spellcasters at the same time, it often becomes necessary to quickly switch between them to cast their individual spells. By using the subgroup interface, you can do so without having to try to select them individually.
Heading northwest, you will encounter a sole footman, and not far, two riflemen (dwarves).
Narrator: Notice that the currently selected units are displayed in the bottom-middle portion of your screen by little portraits. One of the unit portraits is highlighted with a yellow glow. This means that it is the currently activated subgroup.
Narrator: You can switch between subgroups by pressing the TAB key or LEFT-CLICKING on one of the portraits that is not highlighted. This activates that subgroup and displays their spells in your command card.
Further to the west, along the road you will encounter 2 footmen. After you kill them, the 3 cages behind them automatically open. Two ally grunts and a shaman spawn.
Narrator: Your army has grown to such a large size that it now requires a portion of your income to sustain it. This maintenance cost is referred to as upkeep.
HINT – To find out more information about Upkeep, point your mouse at the Upkeep indicator in the upper-right corner of your screen.
Command a peon to build an Orc Burrow.
Move your troops north. You will find 2 Knights defending a gate.
Grunt: Warchief! We’ve found where they’re holding Hellscream, but the area is protected by fortified guard towers!
Thrall: Then destroy them! Hellscream must be freed!

Grommash Hellscream: Finally. Follow me. I have an idea. Hah… We can set sail on the humans’ own ships.
Thrall: (laughs) Perfect. But we’ll need to wait for the rest of the Horde–
Grunt: The Horde is assembled, Warchief. We await only your command.
