Chapter 19

Hunsobo is not smart. His intelligence is as high as you can get for a
standard fire giant, but that intelligence translates more into cunning
and combat tactics than your everyday smarts.
Hunsobo will, at times, use a phrase or word in the absolute wrong way.
This can have amusing consequences, such as the time he told his brother
about a dragon that was very impressive. The word Hunsobo *thought* he was
using was "aggressive" instead of "impressive." While he did tell the truth,
the dragon in question was not very amused to find Hunsobo's young brother
wandering in for a peek, and promptly ate him.

Born of a long line of Imperial Citizens, Hunsobo's parents were both common
laborers - building roads, constructing fortifications, and so forth.
When Hunsobo's knack for using the wrong speech (he told his foreman
that he was sure that the bridge was "steadfast", which Hunsobo
believed to mean "dangerously unstable." An entire Imperial Engineering unit was lost,
and Hunsobo was relegated to a more simple task of "smashing things." While smashing
a particularly large tree (attempting to use a hammer instead of an axe), he was
noticed by a passing Imperial Blade. The blade was moderately impressed at the
speed, savagery, and accuracy of the blows, as well as the weight of the weapon.
The Blade recommended Hunsobo to the guildmaster of warriors, and so Hunsobo,
continuing to do as he is told, adventures as a warrior, seeking to become an
Imperial Blade.
