All characters in the company facing the Orc attack face an immediate attack from Orcs of 1 strike at 6 prowess. Weapons do not modify prowess against the attack, but characters receive +1 prowess for each usable armor, helm, and/or shield in their possession.
Attacks produced by ORC ARCHERS are never detainment attacks, regardless of the company, site, region, or region-type on which they are played.

NO LONGER ALLOWED TO PASS(MELE Hazard Short-event)

Make a roll. Add 2 if the company's destination is a Free-hold, and subtract the Mind of the highest-Mind untapped character in the company. If the result is 7 or greater, the company becomes overt and remains so until they successfully leave the site. This card may be placed on-guard and revealed before any automatic-attacks are faced.
