[QUOTE="EvolutionKB, post: 4785366, member: 47833"] Once Wendigo has acclimated himself to the new sights and smells of this city, he began moving once again. Raised in the monastery, the biggest place he had been was only Drellin's Ferry, and that was just recently. The shifter's stomach growled and he was reminded it had been some time since he ate. He bought a meat pie from a street merchant. It's rich gravy and tender meat was much more than he had at the monastery. Trying to get an idea of where he was in the city, Wendigo looked around. It was then that he saw a dwarf clad in heavy robes, hands in the folds of the garment, a grave look upon his face. [COLOR=lime]"What troubles you Moradin's son?"[/COLOR] The dwarf looks up wrinkling his nose at the sweaty shifter. [B]"I am no son of Moradin, once I stopped being able to provide for my family, Moradin stopped hearing my prayers."[/B] The dwarf pulled his right arm from his robes, it ended with an ugly stump at his elbow. The shifter nods gravely. [COLOR=lime]"Moradin always listens. You must look for signs, signs that show him what you must do."[/COLOR] The shifter looks over the dwarf insightfully. Scars crisscrossed his arms, even his good one. His beard was salt and peppered and his skin was weathered. He was still strong and sturdy, with a thick trunk and broad shoulders. [COLOR=lime]"You were a warrior." [/COLOR][COLOR=white]It was not a question.[/COLOR] [B][COLOR=white][/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=white]"I was. Damn orcs hacked off my arm in their last raid. My wife stood by me, and putting food on the table was a struggle once I couldn't do my job as well."[/COLOR][/B] The dwarf sighs. [B][COLOR=white]"Now my son wants to join the militia, to push back the oncoming horde."[/COLOR][/B] The shifter nods, seeing what was bothering the elder dwarf. [COLOR=lime]"Your son is right to want to protect his home. As a father, you have provided for him a home he wants to save. No matter your feelings of what you have done and what have befell you, help your son. Help him prepare for what his coming.
