"Empress-Reagent sent you, and you ran at the wall with the first batch of stupid fuckers meant to die? Feck, y'av got bigger bollocks than me," the crude ogre noted. Thrukk considered correcting the demon. A few drinks in, Thrukk decided that he didn't want to contradict the creature. The...

One day later A siege was a dark business. The soldiers had talked about it. Thrukk had been brought here in a caged wagon. Purchased from the fighting pits of the Black Bay to sell, they had approached the army in train to offer the slaves they had. Whilst still in his cage they had talked...

Thrukk continued at the centre of the brawl in the breach. He was stood in the rubble from the section of the wall that had been collapsed by imperial catapults. He was certain that far behind them, the imperial siege forces were watching carefully. They would have expected their Forlorn Hope...

It had all descended into chaos. Chaos suited him and the stragglers that tried to finish the climb. Order was the ally of the defenders of the wall. Neat lines and a small front to defend. Chaos and bedlam could let even an ogre like Thrukk survive. He swung his mace and took each step in...

It turned out that there were more than a few of the forlorn hope still alive. When Thrukk started his charge people rose up out of the mass of bodies and followed. They knew that if they ran back they could be killed and that if they stayed eventually the assault would end and the soldiers on...

Thrukk grunted. The tone conveyed that he could. Getting Thrukk to be quiet was normally more difficult than getting an answer out of him. He was used to the scent of death, to the sounds of agony. It was the scale of this that he struggled with. Hundreds of the dead were plugging the breach...

"Take yer time." Darkness and the mass of bodies were his only protection. Thrukk reached out to try and find something to protect himself. A shield or a breastplate would offer some protection. Retreat was not an option. Once they had signed up to the Forlorn Hope for the initial assault...

Alamores Castle, south of empire territory In the dark of night, the flaming bundles of tar-soaked rags provided the most light. Hurled down by the defenders of the Outer wall, they only served to light up moving targets. Thrukk crawled through the mass of bodies that threatened to plug to...

Jodor Palace "Yoo've got tae put a better display oan than 'at ye wee shite," Thrukk laughed. He didn't have a throne but by virtue of physical requirement he had the largest chair around the fighting pits. He was dismayed by the prize fighter brought forward by one of the traders who had come...

Important members of the crew were busy doting on the small bird which - in Thrukk's view - was going to make it tricky to catch, pluck and roast the visitor. Still, he had faced worse odds before. Odds that had been screamed out for all to hear back when he had been a pit fighter. They had...

"Weel noo ah ken it kin speak ah'm nae gonna scoff it!" Thrukk protested. He backed away from the feisty siren with both hands held up. Even with the captain's call and the warning he turned towards the bird and mouthed: "Ah'm gonna eat you." Besides, they couldn't go pirating with a...

"Stowaway?" Thrukk bellowed back. The nearest sailor jumped. He turned to look across the deck and immediately caught sight of the diminutive bird. "That isnae a stowaway ye feckin' idiots. Tha's a bird. Git a net over it, sae ah kin hae it fur dinner!" He looked around for a net or...

On the deck below three sailors were heaving a rope through block and tackle. A sharp gust of wind led to a cry as it suddenly yanked them forwards. Two of the men let go as another on the deck called out a warning. The sound of the rope rapidly hissing through the block came to an abrupt end...

Tol Rämna Sisters Former Mathis Majister Mejeure His drink was brought in a glass. A great thing that held two pints. Without caring for the suds that spilled down his bare chest Thrukk tipped it back until the last of the foam had drained away. Then, without so much as a glance, he tossed...

Tol The silence seemed far longer than it really was. For a moment he readied himself to catch a punch from the troll. If he didn't dodge that he was going to lose a few teeth and be laid out for the rest of the night. Instead the moment turned to jubilation. Thrukk clapped the troll on its...
