Whispers at the Fire



  • Guurag returns to town with a new cloak and sword, as well as a huge smile on his face. It seems that something happened, something important to a young orc.

    Whatever it is, he seems to carry himself with more purpose, and pride.


  • ICC

    *Arak´Hur and the other Iron Chain Clan half orcs can be heard boasting about their epic fight against the invading army of Hobgoblins. Arak´Hur Looks proud of his Clan members.

    He listens to Gruul, Guurag and Drob talk and boast about their fight against the Hobgoblins. The three half-orcs tell their story with words and gestures to enhance their deeds of valour during the fight. Arak´Hur listens to them and wishes he could be there helping int he fight so he too could his good share of glory.
    But at that time he was resting from last nights patrol, the patrol that the proud 3 half orcs that are telling their story, had replaced*



  • As day dawns on a Norwick without any southern gates, word filters in that the walls are still standing thanks to the efforts of the Iron Chain Clan.

    Drob, Gruul and Guurgal talk of their epic fight against the hobgoblin invaders who dared to use powderkegs to blow up the gates, and yet still died in their attempts.

    Once the area was safe, they proceeded out for one of their standard patrols of the ruins, the sound of Guurgal's wardrums clearly heard booming out over the plains.

    When the the half-orcs escort the elf to the Norwick, a half-orc wearing a helmet and seemingly called Sgruud mutters for others

    <o>I still be thinking we shudda have buried it alive to see what kind of tree it grows.</o>

    Arak´Hut bursts out laughing

    Dawn breaks, and with it, the group of Iron Chain Clan half-orcs lead by Arak´hur and two other Half-Orcs names Gruul Korvak and Sgruud, have been seen entering Norwick escolting a near death elven male that goes abotu by the name Elvewyn Dedraluin.
    The half orc can be heard boasting about the fact that in thier patrol they have encountered the Elvewyn, fighting for his life against one Beetle. The group of half-orcs escolted the Elf, back to Norwick so he could heal his wounds. With out their precious help, the elf would have fallen victym of the Beetles*

    O> We duin guuwd boyz !! Arak Hur can be heard saying in Orcish to his clan members
    O> Deh elf be alive fanks to uz! Bugger was so scared of dem beetles dat he almost pissed hims pants !
    the orcs laugh out loud as they prepare themselfs to another patrol



  • *The elven woman Lyte and the hin warrior Dietrick have been seen sparring or training a good deal in the unusual, quick and animal-oriented martial style the elf is known to use, just outside the town's walls.

    This seems a bit unusual, as the two seem to have rather opposite approaches to combat, and Dietrick is already likely a match for the elven bushi. Tongues wag that Dietrick is interested less in Lyte's cutting than he is in the cut of her figure.

    No one really knows what's going on. There's lots of talk of "suio school" and "wave slicing technique."

    It's all wierd and unfathomable tree-hugging elven mumbo jumbo to most!*



  • ((just to be clear… Dwin is one of the 2 dwarves... there are only 2, Dwin and Foilir)) 😉


  • ICC

    Dawn breaks, and with it, the group of Iron Chain Clan half-orcs that were seen by the battle weary Dwarves, Foilir and Chancellor Dwin, heading out to the woods for one more patrol, now return from their night patrol. They look weary and show evidence of beeing envolved in skirmishes with the enemys that lurke out there.. in the dark, behind the trees and bushes. At the pricise moment they walk past by the 2 Dwarfs, another group of fresh Iron Chain Clan half-orcs go in to take the place of the ones returing from patrol

    O> Bash ´em boyz !
    Arak´hur could be heard shouting in Orcish at the ongoing group

    // Edited to change the number of Dwarfs 😄 thanks Dwin! 😄



  • Dwin chuckles

    Those lads are me hired ratters. They'll be reportin' t'ya soon enough.



    • Watches the orcs leave and looks to Dwin *

    <d>Well that was the ugliest traveling bard group I have ever seen

    • Watches them head for the woods *</d>

  • ICC

    The Iron Chain Clan half-orcs keep walking and pay little to no attention at the the Battle weary Dwavers taunts



    • Looks at Dwin and turns the head around to face him *

    <d>Shite! I thought the head started talking! Sounded like a death groan to me…..

    • Smiles and motions to the Orcs *

    Yeh lads need un shave?

    • motions to the head on the stick *

    Unfortunately fer me ferst customer, deh razor was un bit sharp... Should be duller now.

    • Motions them over *

    Come on...if me cut yeh, deh shave is free..

    • Smiles and pulls out a sharp, shining blade with a slightly serrated edge *</d>


  • @e84c1cf6af=Black:

    Arak´Hur and a group of Iron Chain Clan Half-Orcs walk infront of the place where the two battle weary Dwarves are sitting and showing off the severed head on a pike.
    He looks about to see the commoners reaction to such show of barbarism. He then turns to his clan members and says

    <orcish>eh… we uhf bin censured by chansuhler Dwin fer less... Nou theez twuu kuhm in heer displeyin´ dat an nou un tells ´em nuffin´
    Nuffin´ to see heer ladds... We gotz puhtrhol to do.</orcish>

    The Lord Chancellor hears the Orcish grunts coming from Arak-hur and makes a face similar resembling someone who stepped in dog-poop or had to listen to the sounds of someone vomitting.

    [d] I wish they'd just keep them orc-pie holes shut and not use that tongue in me presence.

    @b0c674c29c=Herrold:

    • Two dwarves showing the scars, dents and bandages of recent battle sit around the fire. On a pike in front of them is a head with 1 eye. It resembles some sort of hobgoblin, but one can't really be sure…*

    The ale drinking dwarves use the head as a prop, moving its jaw to speak to the others around the fire.

    Apparently the Chancellor wants his magic adviser to take a peek at "Blinky". Considering the surprising amount of damage it dished out before being dismembered, the hobber (or what's left of it) earned a second look. *

    Again, a long patrol performed by Iron Chain Clan leader Arak´Hur and one of his clan members of his name Argaath Drob plus two humans that go about by the name Hijira and Mourgrim have been seen patroling the woods around Norwick and fighting off those who opose them. Former militia soldier, Locrian Danister , has been seen supervising their patrol


  • ICC

    An Iron Chain Clan members, Arak´Hur, Gruul Korvak , Aarght Drob and two other humans, have been seen patroling Old Norwick Ruins. During the entire night, sounds and battle crys have been heard. At the crack of dawn, the Group of half orcs is seen returnin from their patrol



  • *The elven woman Lyte, in Legion black and blue plate, has been seen often around the southern gates of Norwick, offering a hand and watching carefully the drow driven hobgoblin feints in recent weeks.

    She has rumored to have been spotted often along the western pass around the town, checking out this alternate route between the northern and southern gates of the city for signs of infiltration by enemy forces.*
