((Well, my WoW timecard has ran out, and I'm lost as to what to do in what RPs there are. So here's what you've all been waiting for.))
- "Up, slave," a kvaldir warrior grunted, nudging a human with his booted foot. "It's time to fight."
- The human stood, he wasa big man, but even the kvaldir dwarfed him. The sea-faring humanoid dropped a harpoon at his feet, and the man looked down at it.
- "I prefer sword and sheild," he said. The kvaldir just laughed. The human knelt down and picked up the weapon before being roughly pushed along.
- He was led out onto a beach, hte fog thick, but no so much that he couldn't see. Although it did hinder his sight greatly.
- A massive kvaldir sat upon a woden throne, overlooking the overs. "I, Hrothgar, Cheiftan of the kvaldir, commmand you to fight to the death!"
- The human wasn't surprised by the words. His life had been like this for a few years now, traveling wherever the kvaldir went, pitted against other gladiators that the beasts had captured. He was a warrior by trade, but this dishonorable combat disgusted him.
- And it only did so even more as he looked at his opponent. It was a strange, humanoid creature, like a mix between a short, stout man and a walrus. But it was clear by its greying hair and ragged breathing that it - whatever it was - was very, very old.
- "I refuse," the human said. "This creature is old, barely able to stand. He is not a challenge, and should be set free for that."
- "You
will
amuse Hrothgar with a fight!" Hrothgar said, slamming his fist down on his throne. "I command you!"
- The warrior was about to press the matter further, but out of the corner of his eye he saw the walrus-man attack. He parried the blow, but the creature attacked again. The human was surprised that it had such strength and agility. But, at his age, the creature would not last much longer.
- The human struck, but not to kill. He hooked the creature harpoon on his own and then pulled it to oone side. "Run," he told it, hoping it would understand. "I'll keep these things from following you. Then you can make it back to wherever it is you came from."
- The creature looked up at him. "You... would do this for me?" it said in surprisingly good common. "A total stranger of a race you have never seen? Why?"
- "I was supposed to die once, but somehow I survived," the human said. "Maybe it was so that I could be here, to save your life. You've probably got a family that misses you, I don't. Besides, it's as good as any way to go."
- "Such honor," the creature said. "I have gone to long without seeing it." He shook his head. "No, you run.
I
will hold them off. Here," he took a bone necklace from off his neck and handed it to the human. "Find my people, the tuskarr, in Kaskala village to the northeast and give this to them, they will understand. Your life does not end here, there is still much for you to do."
- The old tuskarr broke the lock the human had put his weapon in and charged the kvaldir. The warrior moved to go help him, but stopped when the tuskarr yelled; "run! Now!"
- He ran north - or at least he thought it was north - until he was free of the mist. With the sun visible again he could tell which way was northeast, as the only one had instructed him.
-
I suppose my life wasn't meant to end there
, the human thought.
Well, I guess I'll hve to see where fate brings me
.
- He dropped the harpoon, then off in serach of hte tuskarr village of Kaskala went Jason Thomas.

Actually I was going with the idea that either the kraken vomited him out, or he cut his way out and was then found by the kvaldir. I don't think he's survive the digestive system of said beastie.

As I think I stated before, I had originally planned for Jason to be a much bigger and more likeable character. However, I found that he was just dead weight, and one character too many for the 5-character-in-a-group limit I was going with. Now that I'm going to try my hand at managing more characters, I plan to re-include him and expand on his character as I had wanted.
This also allows me to span out my plot in more directions then "DIE SCOURGE!"
On another note, the fourth - and final - character to be included is:
Character:
Hadrian "The Lighthammer"
Gender:
Male
Race:
Human
Class:
Paladin

Typos galore! It happens to us all, but you may want to re-read and correct it.
And woop for Jason!

Afraid not, she's dead and buried. If she wasn't Nilon wouldn't have had any need to go to Northrend.

Sorry...
EDIT: My editor hasn't gotten Page 1 back to me yet, so it might be a while before you see The Frozen North. All the same, I'm shooting for this friday.
