Durc

Durc is an orc king. He has united the small, nomadic orc tribes in a unified purpose: to take over Waterdeep. Their base of operations houses roughly 100,000 orcs and is currently located in the hills surrounding The Sword Mountains.

Durc met The Legionnaires with a 50-man group. He mistook their presence near his camp as a scouting mission against his people. He threatened to take the group as his prisoners to sell them back to Waterdeep. He recognized Zelusa and brought her and her friends along to his base as his guests.

He didn't want to let the group leave, but they convinced him their work was time sensitive and important and had nothing to do with him or his army. To ensure the group returned before betraying his location, Durc required that Zelusa stay as his prisoner while Dallak, Legna, and Gallandan all left to finish their mission. He threatened to kill her if they did not return in 5 days.

He did not expect that they would come back for her. He was prepared to release the group to warn Waterdeep about his camp when he found out that a drow attack would be mounting on the 30th day of Tarsakh. The orcs began camp teardown so they could mobilize and mount an attack on Waterdeep while they were weak.
