>>37138760
Golem Knight Quest some time in the coming week, as I said at the end of the previous thread. I've been working on trying to tighten up and overhaul the system in the meantime.

As for extra tales, I don't actually know which tales you're referring to, did you mean pastebin smut or something else?

>>37138814
Pastebin smut

>>37138828
Being worked on. Actually wrote some earlier today, it just isn't ready to go up yet.

Looks like you're refusing the meal and questioning him. Anything in particular you want to ask about?

I've already noted the topics people posted to ask so far.

>Write in

>>37138854
That IS the evil god, you numbnut.
>>37138841
Since it was mention, I could appreciate an occasional omake like the Sho'ka thread except just a shorter pastebin write-up, for example the day we met our hunterpriest from his POV.
>>37138699
>>Refuse the meal and question him
>Thank you, but I do not hunger right now.
Question to ask Za'zarag:
>How and why did he end up as priest of Mul'orog Grul?
>What can he tell us of Mul'orog Grul.
>What has his clan been doing?
>What we've heard of his clan's activity has been some very bad things.
>How many members does his clan have?
>What is the chief like, what are their goals?
>What is this place exactly?
>Does he remember much from before/after the exile?
Then if it seems like he's somewhat reasonable we can start telling him that we know he doesn't want bad things, and that it isn't what he intended, but this isn't the real world, and we need his help to stop what has been going on in the real world.

"I've been hearing some real bad shit about your clan. Killing women and children, forcing orcs to join you or be eaten. That Mul'orog Grul is a god who fell to the abyss. Doesn't seem right to follow him."

>>37139063
I want to avoid telling him, "your is god is evil and your clan sucks"

>>37139122
Honestly you suck and your clans sucks sounds more like a normal orc greeting to me

Writing.

>>37139122
But Anon, His god is evil and his clan does suck. Kul'zog Zor for life!

>>37139063
Uh, until we know what the fuck is going on here, I would rather not provoke the abyssal priest.

>>37139307
yeah lets not piss off the guy who may be able to help us out of here no matter how shady he is

You shake your head.

“No, I ate not long ago, you look like you need this one more than me.”

Za'zarag frowns. “Got to grab whatever you can to eat here.”

You look down at the creature as he carves out another chunk, its dead eyes still bulging malevolently in its strained features.

“What is it?”

“Don't know, back when we first came to the wastes there wasn't anything like this. Now they're everywhere.”

It seems Za'zarag, if that is who this is, is under the impression that he's still in the wastes, wherever you are, it's obviously damaged the orc's mind, or perhaps the abyssal magic did that.

“Your clan, where is it?”

Za'zarag gives you a blank stare. “What are you talking about?”

“Your clan, you said you are a Tongueripper, priest and advisor to the Tongueripper chieftain, right?”

“Of course.”

“So where are your clan? What are they doing? Where's the chieftain?”

Za'zarag frowns, eyes unblinking as he chews on some more of the meat. “They're around, somewhere, I think. I'm sure I saw them not long ago. They'll turn up.”

(cont)

>>37139408
“It can't be easy to lose a clan that big.”

Za'zarag cocks his head, looking confused. “We're not that big, just thirty of us, but we will be, soon. Krag'ur is strong, Mul'orog Grul will make us stronger. Maybe you should join us, Stonetusk chieftain, Krag'ur could use more powerful warriors to help him when we reunite the clans.”

Talking to Za'zarag makes you more and more confused, and the cloying mist is starting to make you lightheaded, you shake your head, growling.

“No, your clan is large, I've heard about it... Wait, how much do you remember, about the fall of the orcish kingdom? The exile? The time in the wastes?”

Za'zarag stands, scratching behind his ear, staring into the middle distance.

“We found a good spot, somewhere new to set up our camp, good hunting, far away from the humans where we could gather our strength. Krag'ur was growing stronger every day with Mul'orog Grul's blessings, the clan too, but wait... didn't I... No... I think that was...”

Za'zarag gives a hoarse roar, slapping a palm against his forehead repeatedly.

“Shut up, no more questions, what does it matter,” he howls, pointing his blade at you.

>Calm him down
>Intimidate him
>Subdue him

>>37139422

>>37139422

>>37139422

You really want to point a weapon at a warchief Priest? I mean you no harm, but i will not be insulted.

>>37139422
"Something is messing with your memory old man. The world you remember is a good decade in the past at least for me"

>>37139422
>Subdue him
OK.
1. We are being given a vision/trip to the past by one of our gods that is showing us what Za'zarag was like in the beginning
or
2. This is the present and something fucked up happened while the tonguerippers were worshipping the abyssal god.

>>37139422
>Calm him down
What year is it?

I guess he's been possessed in the real world and hes been trapped here all this time

Shit we need to get out of here

>>37139422
>Calm him down
lie: "How can i join your clan if you point your blade at me?"

>>37139422
>"What does it matter"? Are you not a member of the Tonguerippers, and one who wants it the best? How could the history and state of your clan not matter?
>Answer me Za'zarag, what are you to your clan? An advisor who wants it the best? Or one who has been corrupted by outside forces against his will?
Subdue him if tries to escape, he's bony as shit, we can 99% silence him.
>Za'zarag, you have been deceived. This is not the wastes, this is not the real world, I woke up here tonight after falling asleep. Do you not know of Mul'orog Grul's fate? That he fell to the abyss hudnreds of years ago? Open your eyes, it is not power you brought to your clan, it is madness and corruption!
>But I will help you, Za'zarag. I will help you, because it is my will that orckind will rise, and I do not wish to kill those that I can save.
>I will help you, if you'l let me.

>>37139422
>>Calm him down
>>Subdue him
"It matters because something is messing with your memories Za'zarag. The Toungerippers are one of the most infamous clans in the waste. The abyss has left your clan corrupted and hollow while the rest of us have been trying to reclaim our former selves"

Looks like Subduing wins.

...we're an Orc so I'm having a hard time differentiating between this options. Don't all of them oil down to "put him in a sleeper hold and he'll be more manageable when he comes to"?

My first 20.
Prise Zul'orok Zhar, abyssal shit BTFO.

You growl, lashing out quickly to grab hold of Za'zarag's arm, twisting it and bringing him to the ground, his blade clattering to the rocky ground out of reach.

The scrawny orc howls and thrashes in your grasp, blood seeping into the sharp rocks as they cut at his skin. You strike him in the jaw sharply, dazing him as you shift your other arm into place to pin him down until his tantrum is done.

“Something's messing with your memories, the Tonguerippers are no tiny clan, they are large and dangerous, corrupted by abyssal magic. Your clan has not united our people, they slaughter and devour orc men, women and children in their madness, your clan would destroy us all.”

“Lies, we are making the clan strong, we are making our people strong. Mul'orog Grul will bring us power, Mul'orog Grul will not abandon us when we need him, as the other gods did.”

“Mul'orog Grul is no god, he's an Abyssal Lord, he doesn't care about you or your clan, he has turned them into abominations. Look around you, this isn't the wastes, when was the last time you even saw your clan?”

“I don't... I don't know... I don't know, shut up, shut up, stop talking or he'll hear us,” Za'zarag screams, his voice echoing across the desolate landscape.

>Stop questioning him
>”Who will hear us?”
>Try to pry more information from him about the Tonguerippers

>>37139845
>”Who will hear us?”

>>37139845
>"Then stop shouting"
Shut him up, hold his mouth shut, or choke him out.
This mist is messing with us, and possibly with him as well.
Bring him to the outcropping we stayed on before.

>>37139845
>”Who will hear us?”
Stop shouting.

>>37139882
>>37139913

>>37139845
"The gods have not abandoned us! There are still those touched and blessed by them."

>>37139845
>”Who will hear us?”

>>37139845
>”Who will hear us?”
We are orcs, our gods are strong and cunning and cruel.
They will not favor those who run, should that be from a fight, their favor, or to the dark of the abyss, what you take for abandonment is nothing more than a challenge to come back when we are worthy of being followers again.

>>37139845
>”Who will hear us?”

Writing.

>>37140064
How will we shut him up, Lordy? Just choking him by the throat?
Also, will we take him out of this shitty mist already?

>>37140081
I did note the request to take him out of the mist, yes.

“Then stop shouting,” you snarl, clamping a hand over his mouth. The skinny orc scrabbles against your grip, but is nowhere near strong enough to break free.

After a few moments he calms, no longer trying to escape, though his eyes still dart from side to side, his bony chest rising and falling in a ragged rhythm.

You pull the hand away, ready to knock the lunatic out should he start screaming again, but he stays silent.

“Now come on, I don't like it down here, we'll talk up there,” you grunt, pointing to the rocky outcropping nearby.

Za'zarag nods mutely, climbing to his feet as you release him, seemingly unconcerned by the patchwork of lacerations the sharp rocks have left across his hide.

You spend some time picking your way up the rocks, surprised at how agile the other orc is despite his weakened condition. He sits when you reach the top, staring out across the thinner mist.

You stand next to him, scanning the horizon, looking out for anything dangerous, but all you see is more of the strange and malformed orc things skittering about.

“Who are you afraid of? Who will hear us?” you ask at last, breaking the silence.

“It wasn't always like this. Stupid mist, stupid creatures, nothing but rocks, rocks, rocks. I had so much more in the orcish kingdom. I had power and respect and slaves, Orcs would come to me to hear of Zul'orok Zhar's teachings. I would forge mighty blades and strong armor for our warriors, I would hunt and kill the sorcerers and unnatural things of our enemies. Then one day, Zul'orok Zhar just stopped speaking to me. I prayed and sacrificed and killed and forged in his name, but nothing... just nothing.”

(cont)

>>37140606
“So you turned to Mul'orog Grul? How could a priest of the Iron God turn to the Abyss?”

“I did not go looking for him. He came to me, I prayed long into the night for the Iron God to send me a sign, but it was not Zul'orok Zhar to answered, it was something else. A servant of Mul'orog Grul. It gave me the power that let my clan tear through the dwarven lines, make for the wastes a step ahead of our enemies. It taught me Mul'orog Grul's magic, it guided me, told me how to make the clan strong. But it doesn't listen any more, it got too big, too unruly, it's out there somewhere now, waiting to steal more from me.”

Za'zarag gives you a haunted look. “Why do the gods keep abandoning me, Ur'shal? I did all they wanted, but in the end all of them toss me aside when I need their strength most.”

“We are orcs, our gods are strong and cunning and cruel.

They will not favor those who run, should that be from a fight, their favor, or to the dark of the abyss, what you take for abandonment is nothing more than a challenge to come back when we are worthy of being followers again.” you growl.

Za'zarag gives a hollow laugh. “I don't think I'm much of a priest, or much of an orc. I could kill and hunt well, but when the Iron God asked me to prove myself, I failed him.”

Za'zarag stands, staring out across the rocky expanse. “You do not belong here, Ur'shal, you should return to your clan.”

“So how do I leave?”

“It controls this place, not me. If you travel far away enough from it, you should go beyond the borders of its domain... Or you could... no, nevermind.”

Za'zarag points out into the distance. “You go that way, I will go the opposite way, draw it away from you. Move quickly, Ur'shal.”

>>37140623
Ask him to forge us a blade that can slay an Abysal Lord. Not with the blessing or help of Zul'orok Zhar, but with his knowledge of Mul'orog Grul. He knows his current master well, he knows how to kill it and become a free Orc again.

>>37140974
JUSTICE FOR THE IRON GOD

>>37140898
I honestly doubt we can take it on right now, without even one of our war gods' or the god of iron's blessing.

>>37141036
The gods turn from those who flee.
They take note of those who fight. If we win, we might get the iron gods blessing, for both us and our new friend.

>>37141036
Silence heathen

>>37141036
we don't need any blessing, only our axe.

>>37141036
I'm pretty sure, that in the fight, we will be granted the blessing of our iron God to kill the abyssal creature.

Before we go fight though, we should pray.

>>37141097
No they don't, hell Zol'gor Tor is explicitly the god to bide his time and make schemes and use underhanded moves, he's praise us for getting ready and planning before going in.
But yeah, if we succeed we'd make Zul'orok Zhar happy for sure, we got rid of the abyss, AND we didn't kill orcs.
Although the Tonguerippers will have to be punished somehow, since they're mutated and all. Maybe not let them get slaves until they pay for their sins in battle?
>>37141108
Which we don't have with us.
We get his blessing from wiping out the Tonguerippers too, by the way.

“The gods did not abandon you yet, Za'zarag. I am here for a reason. I have killed a horror of the abyss before. Perhaps this is your chance to prove yourself.”

Za'zarag shakes his head. “No, you can't kill it. This is its realm, not yours, but, I think we could wound it, we could weaken it enough that it releases its grip for a time.”

“Then we could break free of this place?”

Za'zarag nods slowly. “I think so. If it does not devour us.”

“Will you fight it with me, Za'zarag?” you ask, watching the skinny orc as he nervously scratches at his arm.

“I... I fear it, Ur'shal. I am weak. I cannot promise that when I face the thing I will not run, but I will try.”

“So how do we lure it out?”

“You just have to say its name, and it will hear. Are you sure you want to do this, Ur'shal? If it kills you here, it will take your soul. You will be lost to the abyss forever.”

“I will not run from this,” you growl.

“Ur'shal. You are the enemy of my clan, aren't you?”

“I am.”

“When you meet Krag'ur on the battlefield. If he still has the wits to hear. Tell him I'm sorry. Grant him a warrior's death.”

You nod.

Za'zarag sighs. “When I speak its name, it will appear within moments, are you ready?”

You grip the sharp rock tightly in your hand, wishing you had your axe, or some solid armor.

>Say it, Za'zarag
>We need a plan (write-in)

Also, anything else you want to say to Za'zarag before you begin
>Write-in

>>37141036
This will definitely brig the Iron Gods favor.

Hell it'll probably have this get some favor back too. He can rerstart the Priesthood of Zul'rok Zhar.

>>37141198
say it.

>>37141198

>>37141237
Might as well any place to ambush it from really.

Tell him An orc never gives up and never surrenders s long as he exists he can fight. As long as he fights he can win.

>>37141198
>Say it, Za'zarag

>>37141182
Right, we should both pray.
To Kul'zog Zor for power, to Zol'gor Tor to not be an idiot, and to Zul'orok Zhar to help us.
>>37141198
I still think taking it head-on is fucking stupid, but whatever I guess.
We should've gone out and found a way back.
At least ask him to pray with us to Zul'orok Zhar.
>>37141237
Why do you think it will appear where we want it to?

Maybe find a critter to use as meatshiled to throw, or find Za'zagar's weapon?
Also, ask him what it looks like.

>>37141274
>>37141198
Yeah give him some motivation first.

>>37141274

>>37141198
>Reassurances that he's winning back his honor

>>37141237
>>37141274
>>37141337
>>37141339
How the fuck do you expect to ambush something that literally appears from nowhere? It could turn our advantage around us in no time.
>>37141360
If we stand on high ground, that gives it a chance to push us off a cliff from behind.

>>37141390
could we try to summon the powers of our gods?

>>37141390
There are no cliffs.

Just very gently sloping mounds.

And yes we should do this on top of a mound if only because the mist is thinner. But we're already on a mound so let's just give the guy a little motivation and then start this shit.

>>37141416
That's the best we can hope for right now, I also hope Za'zagar has his weapon with him.

Seeing a lot of back and forth between trying to ambush from cover (the mounds ARE large and uneven enough to find hiding places in) and just calling him up.

Also, Za'zarag reclaimed his weapon once you let him up, he's holding the sharpened chitinous leg again.

The request for a pre-fight pep talk for Za'zarag have been noted. So...

>Find cover and ambush
>Just call it up

>>37141419
second

Zul'orok Zhar became the god who protects orckind from the abyss after he ventured into it for the soul of his lover that was taken by an Abyssal Lord, killing it, and coming back out.
If he doesn't approve of what we're doing right now, I'd be very disappointed.

>>37141471
Can we take some of the skin off of the thing he ate and use it to hold our sharp rock better?

>>37141471
>>Find cover and ambush
if we can then sure

>>37141471
>Just call it up

>>37141471

>Find cover and ambush

We are going to be outmatched, so we might as well try anything. If we can force it to fall down the mount and grind into the stone we might have a fighting chance.

>>37141471
>Just call it up

>>37141471
>>Find cover and ambush

>>37141483
wonder if he could manifest somehow, since we are doing a similar thing, albeit rescuing a fellow orc and not our lover.
>>37141492
maybe make a sling from it?

>>37141471
Does Za'zagar think an ambush is viable?

>>37141492
You sure can.

>>37141471
>Find cover and ambush
Any advantage we can get.

>>37141471
>Find cover and ambush

>>37141483
He's probably squealing in his seat right now.

>>37141522
YEah, he's pretty much the god of clever and cunning fighting. Of which that ambushes are a staple.

>>37141523
>>37141523
The let's do it

>>37141521
I mean, if they could see the future he might, since we're MC and will unite orckind again, but I doubt he himself would manifest for a single orc doing something reckless, even if it's against the abyss.
>>37141557
What?
Za'zagar is the ex-priest orc with us.
I mean fuck, he was a priest to Zul'orok Zhar, and he's nto the god of clever finding, that's Zol'gor Tor.

>>37141523
Then let's do that and make a sling also, find some more rocks that are sling sized

>>37141589
oops.

Well consider that he ambushed the orcthing earlier he wouldn't be turned away by it.

>>37141620
Ur'shal doesn't know how to build or use a sling and that would take to long anyway.

>>37141471
>Find cover and ambush

Beyond that, I support the idea to wrap the improvised weapon in skin for better grip and to avoid cutting ourselves.

Also, we should keep in mind the chance for Za'zarag to flee, as he himself warns, or even turn on Ur should the Abyssal creature overcome his will - as apparently happened in the real world. Don't expose our back to him if possible, and don't rely on his aid too heavily.

>>37141620
I doubt we'll have time to use a sling, anon, I think we'll pretty much jump right into melee for our life right as it appears, that seem the most sensible, we don't know how things work here but what require the lease amount of assumptions is to think he won't know everything right as he appears, so he will have an opening.
Also, maybe have Za'zagar in the open when he says the name, while we hide, so the thing can't see us both and one of us WILL get an opening?

Ambush it is.

Sadly untanned orcish skin does not make the best sling, so while you can use a strip of it to cover the sharp stone to make gripping it less painful, you cannot make a ranged weapon from it.

Writing.

>>37141647
He wouldn't be turned away from the idea of ambushing something, sure, but what if he knows that this thing can't be ambushed like we want to?

>>37141686
Then he would say something when we go to set it up like we're about to.

Who is ready to pray we roll good.

>>37141756
if we roll good?

We're gonna give a little prayer either way and then pray ten times as hard when we roll bad.

>>37141756
Zul'orok Zhar, oh mighty gof of iron, please give your blessing to Ur'shal of the Stonetusks in his time of need, while fighting against the vile abyss that has crept into orckind again!

So once we get back anybody up for going and collecting those two other little clans? We need all the orcs we can get and leaving them to the toungerippers doesn't sit well with me. And probably wouldn't with Zul'rok Zhar.

>>37141850
We can just send an envoy and flex some muscle.

>>37141850
I'm down.

>>37141872
Kinda disrespectful. And we have enough dissent in our clan as is.

And while we're down there we can get a look at the jungle

>>37141850
We really need more slaves if we do.

>>37141902
Warlord suggested it and even siad we can easily do that.

>>37141911
We can do a raid or two in the jungle. When we take the Skyhunters we can raid the humans more in the north.

No the other chieftain said it. He also said we could leave them to the Toungerippers too, would you like to do that?

“I will hide in amongst the shell, when you call it up try to draw it towards me so I can ambush it.”

Za'zarag does not look happy to hear that you will not be standing with him when it appears, but he nods all the same.

“Za'zarag. As long as an orc lives he can fight, and as long as he fights he can win. This thing has not killed you yet, and that means you can still make it suffer for underestimating our kind.”

“Get into cover, and I'll speak its name,” Za'zarag mutters, scratching nervously.

You nod, picking out a good uneven piece of the fossilized shell to crouch down and hide in.

You spy Za'zarag take a deep breath, steeling himself.

“Lorsyth. Where are you?”

You blink, and when you open your eyes something new stands before Za'zarag, the priest visibly shrinking back under its stare.

It is large as a troll, and reminds you of some twisted combination of cockroach and orc, green flesh giving way to black armored plates, the exposed flesh pulsing with thick red veins. Great growths of red mushrooms and fungus sprout from the tarnished grey-black hide, its antenna twitch in the air as two pairs of pale, bloodshot eyes fix on Za'zarag.

“Za'zarag,” it hisses, taking a step forward.

“I need more Za'zarag. I'm hungry. Give me more,” the things sibilant whispers set your teeth on edge, sending a crawling sensation down your spine like worms beneath your flesh.

Za'zarag looks terrified, visibly shaking as the thing looms over him. It is still too far away to ambush now, if you come out it will spot you in a second. You can only hope that Za'zarag remembers the plan.

>>37142058
He never lost his body.

The "thing" just replaced his as priest. Remember what our exiled priest guy said.

>>37142140
I'm pretty sure he's been here for years, dude.
So that "bloated priest" is probably this abomination using Za'zarag's body.
Hopefully we get at least Zul'orok Zhar's blessing from this, maybe even Kul'zog Zor' for being really fucking strong.
If we have fire, we can burn their fungus to the ground.

>>37142180
Zazarag was "displaced" years ago. Exiled into this realm.

Well, if we managed to kill the bloody thing, or let the priest regain control, then we have severely weakened the tongue rippers, their turmoil will be a excellent opportunity to absorb the other clans and go tomb raiding to get our force up to snuff.

>>37141997
THE GODS ARE HERE WITH US

I'm honestly waiting for divine intervention after we kick his ass.

Za'zarag swallows, stepping back slowly towards your hiding spot.

“Of course, Lorsyth. You've done so much for me. Made me strong. How ungrateful would I be not to feed you when you are hungry,” he says quietly, eyes fixed on the horror.

“Yes. Hungry. I'm hungry,” the thing hisses, following Za'zarag as he backs past your hiding place, leaving its back exposed.

You slip quietly from your hiding place, sharpened rock clutched tightly, strip of flesh from the mangled orc-thing keeping it from gouging any deeper into your hand. As the thing starts to rear up over Za'zarag, you strike, coming in low and driving the rock into the softer flesh of the horror's underbelly.

The thing screeches, and you wince at the agonizing sound, it whips round to face you, the skin peeling away from the orcish face as it's head opens out into a gaping maw of sharp teeth and lashing, barbed tongues.

“Do not belong here. Invader. Traitor. Who are you? Eat you, kill you.”

With a howl, Za'zarag lunges at the thing, hacking at its back leg with his blade, the thing skittering away with an enraged shriek as the blade hacks into the joint, near severing the leg entirely.

Its barbed tongues lash wildly, the veins under its skin pulsing as the fungal growths on its back start to shudder and writhe slowly.

>>37142727
We can ask for Za'zagar's blade if he's done fighting, since we didn't roll for it, use our rock to stuff one of its eyesockets with it, gives damage plus distraction AND blidnspot, then use the blade to cut off its leg and now we dual wield, use its leg to avoid its jaw try and use it to damage like in >>37142530 and >>37142541 and use the blade to do further limb/body damage, best would be if we can do a deep enough cut to let its guts spill out, then try to stab something important looking with the blade.

>>37142727
There are tons of rocks/shells/etc. here, right? Kick those at its mouth/eyes as distraction, or use them as impromptu ranged weapons?

“By Zul'orok Zhar's Forge, I command you BEGONE, ABOMINATION!” you roar, lunging at the creature with the sharpened rock.

It hisses, tongues thrashing wildly as it surges forward, knocking aside Za'zarag with a leg as he tries to take another swing.

It is upon you too fast to dodge, but you drive the rock into its neck as the creature crashes down on you. Your muscles strain as you push against the bulk of its abdomen with your free hand, trying to keep it out of reach of your face with its lashing tongues, twisting the rock in its thick neck muscles.

You feel your arms starting to give under the force, you need to do something quickly if you want to escape. You see Za'zarag starting to rise, his arm hanging at a twisted angle where the creature struck him, the scrawny priest hacking and coughing as he staggers to his feet. He won't reach you soon enough to help.

>>37143267

>>37143267
Yeah, good thing there was only like one guy who voted to go there in the last thread I think.
Also good the anon thought of just sitting here, I doubt we could've gotten this chance otherwise.
Except if there was something better to the not-fungus directions, or we would've met Za'zarag anyway.
Like, maybe there was someone else in the graveyard who could've helped us a lot.

You growl, grinding the rock into the creature's neck, your arms start to buckle as it pushes closer, a barbed tongue slicing a ragged tear through your cheek, its four malevolent eyes locked on you. You twist the rock harder and the creature shrieks, a spurt of blood spraying from the neck as its weight leaves you, skittering back out of your reach quickly as you jump to your feet.

Your face stings from the cut, and you are starting to feel a little dizzy, but you keep your footing as the thing twitches its antenna, the fungus on its back starting to split, releasing a hazy cloud of dark red spores, deeper in color than the mist surrounding you.

You see Za'zarag is back on his feet, clutching the blade loosely in one hand, his other arm hanging at his side, obviously broken from the impact. He glances at you nervously as he circles round the creature.

Also, don't breathe in the spores.

And thus far, only one of them has counted the entire thread. A true shame.

You charge forwards, the stinging of your shredded feet helping you to focus even as the poison dulls your senses.

You roar, calling out Zul'orok Zhar's name as the creature lunges forwards to meet you. You duck under a massive leg as it tries to knock you down, gritting your teeth as the tongues start to dig into your flesh as you bring the rock up under its abdomen, gouging through the soft flesh.

As you tear into it it rears up, tongues thrashing wildly in its gaping maw, ready to crash down on you, when you hear another cry. Za'zarag lunges at the thing, hacking into its injured back leg again, taking it out from under the horror, which loses its balance, crashing to the ground, its belly exposed.

The two of you set upon it as it lies there, struggling to right itself, keeping your mouth closed against the growing cloud of spores. You drive your rock into its belly again and again, Za'zarag's blade hacking at another of its legs.

Then with a strange crack of displaced air, you blink and the thing is gone, one last malevolent hiss drifting across the misty expanse.

“It's gone, we drove it off. I didn't think we could do it,” Za'zarag laughs, a delirious edge to his voice as he shakes from the adrenaline.

“Told you we could. So that's it? We can escape?” you ask, looking to Za'zarag as the orc grins.

His smile falters a little as your vision starts to whiten, the mist growing stronger, the sounds of Za'zarag's breathing growing fainter with every second.

“It's too late for me, Ur'shal. The abyss already has my soul, there's no coming back from that. Promise me, promise me you will put my clan to rest. They have suffered too much for my weakness already.”

You reach out through the mist, clapping a hand on the shoulder of the hazy figure before you.

“I swear it, Za'zarag. You fought like at true orc today, and I won't forget that.”

“Thank you Ur'shal. It is a shame I will not live to see the glory you will bring our people.”

(cont)

>>37144381
You awaken with a gasp in your tent, to the sight of Ku'zag's withered face looming over you.

“Still alive, Ur'shal. Good. The whining of your mates and slave women was starting to grate on my nerves,” he grumbles, though you see a hint of relief in the old shaman's face.

You struggle to stand as Ku'zag backs away, revealing a crowd gathered in your tent.

K'zala and Sho'ka cluster around you, and you see Ashuris standing nearby, a hint of emotion on her face before her proud mask slips back into place and she looks away. Aleida and Inka watch curiously from the far side of the tent, avoiding the gathered group.

You rub a hand over your face, wincing as your fingers brush over the torn flesh on your cheek. Apparently the wounds in the dream carry over to the mortal realm just fine.

“What happened?” Sho'ka asks, looking worried.

“Later. Right now, I think the chieftain has a bigger problem,” Ku'zag grunts.

“What is it?” you ask, gathering up your armor, dressing yourself.

“Ya'zada stormed out of here a little while ago. Said something about Goatfoot trickery. I sent Zo'rok and Dru'ak after her, but who knows if she'll listen to them,” Ku'zag explains.

You make to leave the tent, stumbling slightly, you still feel dizzy, perhaps from just waking up, though if your wounds transferred to the mortal realm, perhaps the poison did too.

You drove it off, as Za'zarag explained to you before the fight, there was no way to kill it in its own realm. At least not without some high level sorcerous or divine bullshit assisting you.

Za'zarag's soul is still in its realm, he lied about both of you being freed by weakening it.

It's still to much of a risk. We're even in numbers and they have superior fighters.

We need to get those two smaller clans, then the skyhunters. Then train and see if we can scout them out.

Do a little more raiding, maybe one or two in the jungle, one or two in the mountains.

Then scout the mountians more looks for ogre covens/slaves and anything else that might give us power.

Damn it.

I realize we're probably gonna do some public display of dominance by making Ya'zada apologize, but like, even if not right when we see her, at least when we get back to our tent, we really need to hug her and hold her head to our shoulder, tell her we won't leave her/disappear.
She obviously has some issues about that.
Maybe.
Or maybe I'm looking too far into it and she just got normal angry.

I feel like Ogres will be the perfect counter to these guys.

If we just lead with some Ogre shock troopers decked out in armor with weapons they would rip through the toungeripper lines. Especially since in their battle haze they have no sense of restraint, they would do Massive damage before they die. And since we give no shits about them being alive it would be great.

post yfw Juk'ruk made a deal with Tonguerippers and transported us there.

>>37144949
The reason I'm thinking of going after them now/in a couple days is because, as Lordy has said, there's no guarantee that they won't come after us instead, especially if we take the two small clans to the south.
I think the element of surprise would give them too much of an advantage.
BUT, if we get Iron bro's blessing, and we could start making some wards from his shit, then that could even the playing field.

Well seeing as her last mate was killed by one of the Goatfoot clans, Im pretty sure she would be protective of her new mate and immediately suspect the goatfoots since they are right here.

There was the vassal idea. Its considered a bit wierd, but its really just an extention of making slaves who are proven tough honorary orcs. Just with a group, not a single person.

There is no face.
Only humiliation and death.

fuck no she aint some emotional little child we we aint in love. We just fucked jesus christ it isn't like we got married or anything.

>>37145020
I doubt it since the way he went is the opposite direction and he would reek of abyss.

>>37145056
We ARE mates, you know.
That's pretty much marriage.

>>37145045
Nah. Slaves should be able to earn a better place for themselves through skill and hard work. But never to the point of full orc hood.

>>37145083
She isn't a little child.

>>37145083
So is
Inka
Sho'ka
Kzala
Aledia
Ashuris

Keep your waifu in your pants.

>>37144949
I doubt there are more ogre covens, but in any case, we shouldn't mess with Slaggyr's people before we exterminate the Tonguerippers.
I might be too paranoid of the dragon's power, but I just don't want to have to fight on two fronts, that never turns out well.

>>37145097
Nah, I prefer If they do shit, and they do it well, they can earn a full place with the clan.

>>37145020
>Tonguerippers
>make deals

AHAHAHAHA

>>37145118
No, only K'zala and Sho'ka are our other mates. The rest are slaves.
