[QUOTE="Hrothgar, post: 3142843, member: 22226"] [COLOR=SlateGray]OOC: Good post, maddmic. Stay tuned for Herger's fate... Thornir, where art thou?[/COLOR] Starhl is a Northman. Honor in battle. Honor in life. Even those his people have been crushed under the heel of Shadow for decades, their spirit crushed, not now would he abandon a comrade. Another Northman. Herger. Breaking free of the orc attacking him, Herger races toward the massive reptile, his body shaking with an internal rage that makes the Northman see red. Close to the great beast, Starhl can see that much of the flesh of the reptile is dried and withered with great strips of skin hanging in tatters and gleaming white bone glinting in the gathering gloom.

Swinging [I]Bjorn's Faith[/I], Starhl drives the blade deep into the belly of the creature.
