As Jrag stands guarding himself, eyes on Vrek's lethal point, he notices a peculiar boiling in the water to his left. Nearly quicker than his reactions a looming mass of muscle and hate bursts from the water, a loping orc with gleaming black teeth, clad in only a filthy loincloth and shaggy black hair, snapping his jaws shut a hair's breadth from Jrag's cheek. The beast screeches, his eyes dim like those of a beaten dog.Above, Junga's Warband can be heard laughing. "Blacktooth!" they leer.Spratnik, eyes for Teak, takes a step forward while drawing an arrow across his bow only to be startled by Blacktooth's roar, botching the draw and sending his bow to splat in the mud with a curse. Rain batters the weapon relentlessly. Meanwhile, Karnak steps ominously toward Teak, bringing his pick in a massive arc over his head, rain sluicing, only to find it buried in the center of Teak's shield. The righteous orc gives a grunt and grimace as he works to keep the sharp end away, shoving Karnak as he works his way to his right and free, retreating with shield and hammer raised in front of him, keeping his back to the arena wall.Throughout, Vrek's gaze has been kept on Blacktooth's snarling and slobbering maw. His brow has been crinkled, deliberating, his jaw working some secret question and now the goblin spits with rage, flicking his spear past Jrag to be turned away on Blacktooth's thick, unnatural hide. Casting his gaze to see Gorefang bearing down on him, the goblin shouts, holding up a hand. "Wait," he struggles to keep the beastly orc at the end of his spear, "this dishonestly will not stand!"The rain soaks everything, everyone, dulling the crowds mingled gasps and shouts. From above the collective mirth of the Warband bounces around the arena, mixing with Blacktooth's snarls and battle sounds to congeal into something truly terrible.
