Role

Chapter 6

Now that Vokrem felt a little more comfortable running about the lands,
his chest puffed with pride and his heart grew with courage. Now was the
time to grow strong and prove his value to The Clan.

It wasn't long before young Vok first met Chieften Worthag traveling
about the lands. The chief was a smart leader. Wort, as they called him,
knew that he would need a new warlord by his side if he wanted to keep
The Clan strong, so he decided to help our little orcling in the way of a
new axe and some trinkets.

"Vok thank." Vokrem said, envoking his enormous vocabulary. "Vok grow now
and make Da Clan proud!"

With a bloodthirsty sparkle in his eye, and his new axe in his gigantic
fist, Vok set forth hacking and smashing everything he thought wouldn't
rip him limb from limb. What a glorious time it was.

It wasn't long before Vokrem found himself in a sticky situation. One day
he was strolling out of the Grinnin Skull Village, on his way for a
little afternoon elf-pillage, when right along the path was the nastiest
Dwarven Patroller he'd ever seen. Vok, by now, was a brave soul, but
fighting that war-grizzled dwarf would have been suicide. Having traveled
with some Imperials before, Vok found a strong one and hoped he would be
willing to help.

"Greets. Vok be friend o da Emper...Vok is in truble. Kowe help?" Vok
pleaded desperately to Kowelu the Innperial Shadow Ward.

"I don't care who you're friends with. I'll help. I like helping orcs."
Kowelu responded.

Vokrem smacked himself on the forehead. What a dummy! He heard of the
Imperial Shadow Lord, but this man was the INNperial Shadow Ward! He
wasn't from the Empire at all!

In no time at all a giant Orangutan came bounding through the mountains
and lept right ontop of the Dwarven Patroller, tearing him limb from
limb.

Vokrem and Kowelu shared a good laugh about the blood that had been shed
and they sat a talked.

"You know, Vokrem, I am a good friend of Worthag's. We grew together. Now
I like to help The Orcs." Kowelu told young Vok.

"Dis gud." Vok replied. It was good to know he would have a friend
looking out for him in the troubling times to come.
