Enjoy.)=(CON LOSS) Grawshen Sootsel the Black Dragon= Borkahd: When strong warrior fall, give honor by carry body on shield. Take to bonefire.Iunna nods grimly, a serious mood overcoming her features.The War RoomThis spacious hut is dominated by a large rectangular table that lies in theexact center, surrounded by well-worn chairs of rough carved wood. Gentlyswaying lanterns hang from iron hooks driven into the supporting beams ofthe roof, flooding the table with bright light while leaving the corners inshadows. A large plaque of polished steel has been affixed to the north wall,above a wide fireplace. A giant tapestry depicts combat forms and hangsupon the eastern wall while a blood-red curtain rests along the western walldepicting an ancient battle. Almost hidden in the shadows of the southeastcorner is a large book resting open upon a stand.Brilliant white energy swirls around, taking the shape of a diminutive fela.(WANTED) Uggro the fire giant is here.Woldrun the cloud giant is here.Borkahd the fire giant is here.Bedekleae the fire giant is here.Borkahd says raising his deep voice 'A warrior has moved from this realm today!'Uggro sighs.Borkahd says growling softly 'Grawshen was strong. Maybe smell, maybe talk lots.'Borkahd says 'But was strong. Brave.You sigh.Borkahd says 'Had rage inside, not afraid shed blood.'Borkahd says glancing about slowly 'Maybe some not know good. But I remember lots of fights. Lots of blood, and skulls.'Borkahd says 'Remember when lost voice, was source of strength. Taught many thing.'Borkahd says 'Know in hardship, strength grows. He learned that. Not all warrior do.'Woldrun nodsVexarrin nods solemnly.Borkahd says with a firm nod as he takes a step towards the corpse 'We lift his battle-scarred body together.

Theearth is cracked and the ground is stained, yet this was once the heartof the village and is marked as such by the blood that reddens the earth.Barbarian children hardly notice your presence as they wrestle and run inthe square, so intent are they on their war-games and fun. Sparse weedsgrow along the northern edge of this square, becoming denser as youapproach the building that lies in that direction. To the south is a hutfrom which plumes of smoke and ash drift into the deep blue skies. To thewest is another hut, secluded from the more traversed portions of thisvillage and draped with the furs of exotic animals. The path continueseast, leading toward one of the clusters of huts that make up the bulk ofthe village.Bedekleae the fire giant is here.(WANTED) Uggro the fire giant is here.Woldrun the cloud giant is here.Brilliant white energy swirls around, taking the shape of a diminutive fela.Borkahd the fire giant is here.Borkahd says nodding as he lowers the shield 'I will start fire.'Iunna shakes her head.Iunna says 'Tha's mine.'Borkahd moves to a large pile of corpses and tinder then pauses, nodding at Iunna.Vexarrin weeps softly.Borkahd says as he watches grimly 'If have words to say, tell Grawshen. Until body gone, spirit will hear.'Vexarrin steps forward.Amidst the Village, a diminutive fela kneels before a bloodied and battered corpse.Iunna sighs quietly.Vexarrin bends gently, kissing the corpses cold forhead.You whisper 'Rest well, you have earned it warrior.'Vexarrin steps back.Bedekleae roughly bangs two maces together and the sound echoes throughout the village, fading slowly.lowly, gently, lovingly, she touches the corpse with a single paw, setting it ablaze.Uggro says with his voice slowly fading 'Em was fargin strong, em wus gud comrad, muh will fargin miss yuh Grawshen. 'Borkahd says as the flames grow 'Grawshen has earned right to rest, embraced by his goddess.'Bedekleae says 'We brothers and sisters deal in death. It chases us always, but hims brought more than he suffered. Was good life!'Borkahd says with a soft growl 'Only way leave Village with honor, is by fire.'You whisper 'My next kill will be in his name. His honor'Iunna says 'Th'damn crazy bastard.'Woldrun says 'I know you can hear me.'Woldrun says 'I never got to tell you this.'Woldrun says 'Even though you deserved to hear it.'Iunna gestures briefly with her paws, causing the flames to leap and dance wildly.Woldrun says 'You smelled bad, and fought worse. And you were my friend. And a True Villager.'Woldrun grins evilly.Grumna whispers to you 'I name meh first kins afters.'Borkahd says grumbling out a seldom heard chuckle 'Agree, did smell. But usually smell of blood. Not many hear my compliment, but was strong.'Borkahd says with a booming shout 'Warriors, know Grawshen the Black Dragon! Sing name in battle song, remember! We mark his passing, it is complete...he is gone!'Iunna drops her paws, letting the flames die.Borkahd whispers 'May all Thera hear drums, may they know fear even in his death.'
