There has been a recent influx of Grimswarm orcs, shaman, witches, and the like in Vaalor for the last week or so.
Are they appearing anywhere else (other towns)?
It appears that they are the same level as the person they spawn in the room with while hunting. As such, they are not especially powerful but they do swarm, and can become dangerous due to the sheer number that can appear at one time. Both times I have died from them was just because there are too many to fight at one time. The real problem is as soon as you have a batch "under control", more show up and before you know it, there are 6 to 10 of them in the room at one time, all taking different forms of shots at you (melee, bolt, and magic).
I actually welcome them, as they seem to be the same level as me and swarm. This means that I can get fried and still have a fighting chance at coming out alive, albeit beat up and diseased. They don't seem especially rich though, which kind of makes them a nuisance at the same time.
Anyway, I was just curious if anyone knows more about these guys or not and if other towns have seen similar sightings.
Even though they appear to be the same level as the person they spawn in the room with, low-level characters seem to take the brunt of the abuse. VC has been busy lately with dead youngins with the same reports. "An orc came out of nowhere in the kobald area and killed me," or similar reports.
