The Orc Captain leads orc war bands. It's a little tougher than a common orc, with 85–100 Tactics and better damage, and now and then it carries a stout whip.
Overview
- In-game name: a random orc name
- Corpse: an orcish corpse
- Behavior: it attacks the nearest target it sees and fights in melee.
- Enemies: savages and orcs are enemies and attack each other on sight.
- Rummages corpses: from time to time it takes a random item from a corpse within 2 tiles (*rummages through a corpse and takes an item*). Loot your kills quickly near one.
- Speech: it speaks orcish.

Special behaviors
- Orcish kin mask. It won't treat a player wearing an orcish kin mask as an enemy, so a masked player can walk among orcs. But if a masked player attacks it (or does anything else hostile to it), the mask is destroyed and they take 50 fire damage.
Loot
Every orc captain carries:
- Gold: about 60–150 in total (from its "Meager" ×2 loot)
- one small item: an arrow, a lockpick, an arrow shaft, raw ribs, a bandage, a bottle of wine or a jug of cider
It may also carry:
- A magic weapon, armor piece or shield (up to 4 chances, from about 1% down to 0.2% each)
- A musical instrument (about 0.2% or less)
- a stout whip (5%, added to the corpse when it dies)
Carving
Use a blade on the corpse to get:
- 1 raw ribs
Location
- The Deceit brazier (a scripted item named for the dungeon Deceit): double-clicking it from within 2 tiles summons one creature picked at random from a list of about 90, and this is one of them. The brazier warns players who step next to it ("Heed this warning well, and use this brazier at your own peril"). It works once every 15 minutes and places the creature within 5 tiles. The summoned creature is set to attack the closest target, even if it would normally leave you alone, and it stays within 5 tiles of the brazier.
Tips
- It has no treasure map level, so it never drops a map.
- It rummages through corpses, so loot your kills before it reaches them.
