Location: Shlarshk? entrance @ 813, 1207 in Sigil Underground
Levels: first class / archon
Boss Kill: 241 and under.
Availability: standard repop
Marks: Mark of Warfare via artificed item.

Preparation

Standard reagent and mem check. A form of web will help as the 'guards' and boss will occasionally bash. Form damaging methods are also beneficial.

Introduction

Located in a first class and archon accessible only area in lower Shlarshk. It is a pain to get to for first classers as the nearest tunnel to SUG near Shlarshk is only accessible to second class and up.

Path for first class: From entrance north north north west west north north north east east north north north up up west north east.

Prepare in this room and get ready. All mobs here will occasionally bash but do not cast so webbing them is beneficial to prevent bashing. All of the mobs including the boss are non-aggro as well.

Go north and attack the slavering orcs, they will form up. If you try to flee east past them they will just bite you and prevent you from moving forward. You can flee south though. The room is energy draining in the form of a emote 'An unseen crossbowman fires at you from one of the narrow slits carved into the chasm wall, hitting you square in the chest.' The orcs also seem to not particularly like dracons, occasionally emoting 'a bloodthirsty orc grabs a heavy ornamental sword off of the wall, the perfect implement to do some serious damage to Drole.'.

After killing the orcs, move east and kill the elite wolfrider. Similar to the orcs, if you try to move/flee past (i.e. go south) while the wolfrider is alive, you will get bashed. The room is also energy draining.

After the wolfrider is dead, move south. This is a safe room to rest up and prepare as it isn't energy draining. To the east is the boss with two slavering orcs and a elite wolfrider.

Encounter

Move into the room and spell up the mobs. Room is energy draining. Whoever you attack will make all the mobs form up. One method is to just kill the slavering orcs and wolfrider and focus on the boss. However they will respawn midfight meaning you need to focus on them again.

A potential strategy is attacking a slavering orc and having the other 3 form up on him. When you look at the orc, you want to see the formation setup below:

[slavering orc] [slavering orc] [elite wolfrider]
[   Hrarnk    ]
Then kill off the 2nd slavering orc (not the formation leader!) and elite wolfrider so it now looks like this:
[slavering orc] [---] [---]
[   Hrarnk    ]
Hopefully Hrarnk attacks will not be able to reach from mid row. To make it even safer, wait out in the other room for the slavering orc and elite wolfrider to respawn, then attack them so they are in their own formation of two. Then flee out and attack Hrarnk again, tanking the slavering orc.

In any case, Hrarnk has alot of hp but is similar to the other mobs with just occasionally bashing.

Eyeball demonology is not a discipline that many academics pursue, likely
due to their professional knowledge of the average lifespan of the average
eyeball demonologist.  Little is known about them because few survive
encounters, which makes there be very little literature about the subject,
which necessitates going into the field to perform research, which leaves
everyone unhappy, or dead.

It seems like with so many, they wouldn't miss one.  But it turns out
eyeball demons are just as reluctant to part with one of their eyeballs as
people with only two of them!  Larger than most, it's juicy with ichor and
evil, and while 'bloodshot' isn't physiologically accurate, evocative enough
in the right and disgusting ways.

Eyeball demons are tremendously powerful, and although it might seem
intuitive, it's still downright bizarre that they actually derive their
power from each of their eyeballs.  This eyeball has one very specific
power, which involve seeing into the future- it can foresee and avoid
extremely chaotic deaths.  It can't, or maybe won't, do anything about
orderly or pedestrian or boring deaths, but it's certainly better than most
peoples' eyes.  

Using the artifice command 'artifice eyeball, 2.eyeball, 3.eyeball' you get:

  
Item 'the spoils of orcish warfare' is type treasure, alignment 0, made of organic (in (new) condition),
has keywords 'spoils orcish warfare pile eyeball demons'.
This item weighs 0 stones and 10 pebbles, and is valued at 3,500 gold. {Cat. 1}
This level 60 item has no special attributes.
*This item may be repaired 4 times.
This pile of eye is repulsive, squishy, and full of demon ichor, but most of
all, it is entirely emblematic not only of orcish battle tactics, but
warfare in general.  Messy, repulsive, and likely obtained only through
pyrrhic victory, it is a treasure built on death, conquest and a
fundamentally nihilistic conception of reality.  This is warfare.  This is a
pile of eyeballs, plucked from a demon.  
+++ the spoils of orcish warfare will, when USEd, grant its user the Mark of
Warfare.
