From within the tent that did call out the single joyful word of, 'Soup!' ears did tremor with panic at the human who brayed back the call of their own hunger. Six hobgoblins who were waiting about for that call placed hunger prangs to one side and their weapons to their own. The six were mangy...

"Move the pallisade open, the coins are yours," Ostrum said flatly, as he hefted the considerable purse a fraction into the air so that the jangle could be heard, his feet as trunks within the ground that had formed root as the world did turn about it. The bugbears gave out a low grumble of...

The bridge was a host to a number of brigands that did idle about. A far cry from halberdiers standing at portcullis, these were men who loitered, who did their best to burn the hours via their pipes and roll away the minutes with dice and petty coins. Cloaks were being adopted by the lesser in...

Ostrum provided quick rebuke, a baleful eye barely concealed for but a flash of his temper, before returning to calmness, in hope that more was not required. "I'll not have that kind of talk," Ostrum said low to make the point plain. He did not provide further edification on the matter. In...

Ostrum braced slightly at the question, eyes affixed to the horizon which beckoned with quarry to quash. A few moments as he set the pace, face returning to a stoic expression as boots did tread with purpose. He ran his fingers across his belt, feeling rondel ready, feeling hammer looped snugly...

"Salt is a luxury I did not think to afford us when buying supplies," Ostrum said matter of factly. He considered his tone to be too blunt, and softened it as he continued. "Believe me good warrior," Ostrum said as he made motions to tidy up the meal, washing out the remnants of both their...

"Nothing so base for your attentions, I hired a warrior, and we Enshrined do not make squire work of hirelings, when we keep them," Ostrum said matter of factly, his eyes not rising from the meal which he was eating in short order, accurate stabs into the cooked flesh made as if punctuating his...

The camp fire so sustained by simplistic cantrip and deliberate arrangement of heavy logs that as they were spent rolled the next into consumption, provided warmth to the two of fighting stock as they did rest. The canopy of night was soon to dissipate, faintly did the dark turn to lighter hue...

Ostrum was stunned to see the absolute vitriol on display from his comrades, the fluidity and savagery of the strikes delivered dared a disbelieving smile to creep into his lips. Those ruby eyes flashed and dimmed, body sagging to the ground as horn was broken and body carved asunder by such...

Rain pelted the scene as if it were a multitude of slingshots from the heavy laden cloud that loomed. Heavy smacks of water on stone a chorus to this ceremony. Chill winds mingled with the heat of battle, plate adopting rivulets as if the armour were to weeping, gambesons becoming sodden above...

Polearm pointed out were faced by far firmer puncture, or indeed, rupture. Darkened minds had not expected that by living hand was the tide being turned in unusual direction. Dread knights, appalled by this interjection of magic into a testing of mettle. First were those were in full score were...

The blackened sphere reeled back in new found startling pain, shocked as it discovered sensation beyond the gnawing pain within it's pit. Mouths soured, tongues did lick the fresh wound delivered by Garrod's weighty weapon so infused with a mightier hunger than did ever befall the mouthed thing...

Traitors fell in full scores at the blast of electricity so powerfully rendered by fae touched ally, their weapons shuddering in spasms in shocked grip tight, their armour further conducting the vicious arcane strike to deadly affect. Each in turn faded from view as their will to fight was...

Ostrum nodded in approval of his comrade's declaration. Worthy, he thought, worthy. The leader of the Enshrined spoke again. “So you are known. Let all who witness us bear us true, for our words spoken reveal our estimation of our deeds performed, and to be bidden from frame renewed,” the...

"If you wish to defeat the Dark with us, welcome, be joined to our venture to assist my Comrades." He made introduction of each person in turn, himself last, as they made way, and then rolled shoulders as he took step towards the keep. "We make our approach. When the bells rings, that is when...
