There was a piece of paper under a stone before the entrance to that platform south of the Barracks.
I picked it up and read it before that morphed Orc show up.
I also had true view and good sight range, which helped a lot on that platform.
Any way, that paper had Orcish language inscriptions and I was under the impression that reporting it to Mitox or General Alex would trigger a quest to gain reputation. Nothing of that sort happened either.
Most probably the paper object it was planned by the graphics department to be used in the story but being short on time some things were screwed up. It could have been an egg, but I fail to see any yellow or even white. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
