I think this must have been on a faction increase special, I just killed today and got the following:
[Sun Aug 12 17:03:16 2018] You hit an orc conscript for 814 points of damage. [Sun Aug 12 17:03:16 2018] Your faction standing with Shralok Orcs has been adjusted by -3. [Sun Aug 12 17:03:16 2018] Your faction standing with Highpass Guards has been adjusted by 1. [Sun Aug 12 17:03:16 2018] Your faction standing with Kithicor Residents has been adjusted by 1. [Sun Aug 12 17:03:16 2018] You receive 7 silver and 3 copper from the corpse. [Sun Aug 12 17:03:16 2018] You hit an orc conscript for 814 points of damage. [Sun Aug 12 17:03:16 2018] You have slain an orc conscript!
In reply to what zone is he in... he is in HHP after the zone line from kithicor forest. but before the enterance of the tunnel into the human settlement. These guys can be a pain , watch your back for the adds. They drop from the cliff on the right side , as well by the tree on the left. the only safe place to mem and heal is the tunnel to kithicor , good spot to sit and watch them pop. If the battle goes bad you can always zone out.
