Town cryer excerpt: Orks foil Elf plot?

(from a recent edition of the Town Cryer)

The presence of a band of Orcs within the walls of Mordheim has been well known, especially since they settled into the southern part of the city, claiming the poor quarter as their own. Small groups of goblins and squigs roam the streets, causing havoc wherever they go. Recently they made their way to the South Gate, where the Sisters of Sigmar met them to put a stop to their foul activities. The mother superior has been quoted as saying: "It was as if the hand of Sigmar himself led us to the greenskins."

From the sketchy reports we have of the battle that ensued, the Sisters were far outnumbered by the Orcs, who used trickery and underhandedness to lure them out into the open. The thick orc arrows found lodged in the brick walls of buildings are a reminder of the warlike nature of these creatures. The Sisters, who were not available for further comment, apparently suffered heavy losses and humiliation at the hands of the Orcs. But the story does not end there.

For amoungst the orc arrows where shafts of a more delicate nature. Our experts assure us that these arrows were made by none other than Elven smiths. A broken bow and what appears to be the skinned remains of a slender humanoid confirm our suspicions that in fact the orcs fought not only the Sisters of Redemption in these streets. Though their motives are unknown, a half-eaten cart suggest they may be in need of supplies. We advise anyone around the Market Place to remain on their guard for these green-skinned invaders.

Graffiti left on one of the walls, apparently in elven blood, give us a grim reminder of the brutality of these creatures:

"Rosez are red, violetz ar blu
Irontusk stomp yoo, wotcha gonna do?"
