AN ODE TO THE GREAT WARRIOR ORC CHIEFTAN FARR'TUUL (an NPC named by Dungeon Master Steven R. Toussaint in the AD&D campaign way back in 1980)



from comment section in Curmudgeon in the Cellar Episodes 106 through 110  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlObg3DKe1Q&t=331s 10:03 re: G1 series & that Novel "Orcs" you mentioned earlier: An Ode to the Great Warrior Orc Chieftan Farr'Tuuu'L (the correct Orc pronunciation is difficult and so the spelling isn't the best) According to the Legends of the local D&D campaign ( I knew about where I was too young to play in at the time), way back in 1980 when they played "G1 Steading of the Hill Giant Chief" , The Party negotiated with a group of Orc NPC refugees escaping slavery from the Hill Giants and Drow Elves in the Bottom Caverns to unite his people in alliance with the party all the way to kicking some Giant & Drow Elf ass in the sequel D1-D3 modules: thus becoming a group of Benevolent good revolutionary Orcs who ended their wicked ways in favor of benevolent rescue operations emancipating Orcs across the Gygaxian Multiverse. Never Forget The Great and Mighty Far-Tuu'l in the Legends of The Benevolent Orc Liberation Brigade. Recycling & repeating fart jokes to Tim Kask of Curmuddgeon in the cellar Episodes 107 through 109. 14:42 I don't wish to be the least bit boastful and mention the heroic Orc Chieftain's name anymore than I already did, but you were absolutely right in saying in last episode that's a "tale that'll be told in the taverns late @ night" "when the wind howls" because the Orc Chieftain (which Gary Gygax invented in G1 & the DM modified to suit the adventure) got his legendary epic name just when the heroes were convinced they were desperately outgunned & outnumbered and the Orc chief said to the PC party captain "pull my finger", which he did, and that's when the Great Orc drew & aimed his backside fury of enormous special power breaking howling wind against the terrible foes, saving many important lives.
