Fear mostly. Hunger. Anger, blood. My... ma? Throwin' herself acrost me. More blood. I think she was tryin' to save me. Wilbur once told me that orcs eat youngun's born wolf kin like me. I've met orcs since, an' lemme tell you, I believe him.  Funny. I don't think of myself like them. Orcs. Others do. I get all manner of ugly looks. Sometimes I just put on my wolf skin when we're goin' into town, 'cause while folk are afraid of wolves, they admire them too. It frustrates Olcan when I do, 'cause wolves don't lie. They can't lie, actually. He thinks me puttin' on my wolf skin to hide my true self is a form of prevarication. I disagree. The wolf skin is part of my true self. Leastwise, that's what I tell myself. Wilbur is a prospector. Spent my early years out ranging the wilds with him, squattin' this claim or that all along the Border Range. He taught me how to keep my wits about me, about mining, about frugality. 'Frooo-gal-ity, lad. I can stretch this here haul through winter, into spring if the hunting's good.' Miserly ol' cuss. Orna lives in a tiny cottage that she keeps scrubbed and gleaming. She likes her peace an' quiet an' so did nothin' to diffuse the rumors that she was a witch woman. She taught me my letters an' numbers and sang me songs when I was real little. Wilbur and Sal and me would go see her every couple of months, see how she was doin'. Bring her pelts. Chop wood. Mend the roof. We'd get to sleep in a warm bed, eat real food. I never saw them more than share a fond look, but I think Wilbur and Orna loved each other. I miss her every day. I miss them both. Sal's a wolf. I don't know if he's still alive. He was around a lot when I was coming up, but took a mate an' we didn't see much of him after that. He an' I would run together, tracking, hunting, racing through the forest, acrost the snows. Wilbur resented that I could run with Sal like that. Envied it. I still feel guilty about that. It's part of why I left, at least a little bit. That growing rift between me an' Wilbur. If there was a way to share it, the shiftin', I would. I've seen some mighty spectacular things in my time, maybe one day I'll find a way to, you know, give that to him. I owe him that much. Olcan is one of Sal's pups. 'Olcan' means 'wolf' in the giant tongue. That's not his real name, but his real name doesn't come off right in words. He was always a big one. Always strong an' fast. We keep eachother sharp. An' if he looks smart, it's cause he is. Smarter than a lot of people you'll meet, I reckon. I took to wanderin' after I left Wilbur an' Orna. It was a lonely time. Would have been worse, if not for Olcan. I've never really ferreted out of Olcan why he came with me when I left. Big and smart as he is, he'd have been Alpha of his pack for sure. Ain't no secret - I'm sure glad he did come with me. Long about when I was second-guessin' my decision to leave home, I came across a caravan. They were fixin' to head down a branch of the road washed out by early storms. I warned 'em, of course, and they hired me on to lead 'em the rest of the way through the pass.  The rest is history. I get back to see Wilbur and Orna from time to time, but it's been years now since I seen 'em.[/sblock][sblock=Levels]Level 1 - Amos leaves home, falls in with a trade caravan.Level 2 - TBD.Level 3 - TBD.Level 4 - TBD.Level 5 - TBD.Level 6 - TBD.Level 7 - TBD.Level 8 - TBD.Level 9 - TBD.Level 10 - TBD.[/sblock][sblock=Description]Decription goes here.[/sblock][sblock=Character Sheet]Amos Wolfbrother, Level 10Half-Orc, RangerBuild: Beastmaster RangerFighting Style: Beast MasteryBeast Companion Type: WolfBackground: Geography - Mountains (+2 to Athletics) FINAL ABILITY SCORESStr 21, Con 12, Dex 15, Int 10, Wis 15, Cha 10. AC: 22 Fort: 22 Reflex: 19 Will: 18HP: 69 Surges: 8 Surge Value: 17 TRAINED SKILLSDungeoneering +12, Perception +14, Stealth +11, Athletics +16, Endurance +12, Nature +12 UNTRAINED SKILLSAcrobatics +6, Arcana +5, Bluff +5, Diplomacy +5, Heal +7, History +5, Insight +7, Intimidate +7, Religion +5, Streetwise +5, Thievery +6 FEATSLevel 1: Initiate of the Old FaithLevel 2: AlertnessLevel 4: Thirst for BattleLevel 6: Powerful ChargeLevel 8: Defensive MobilityLevel 10: Lethal Hunter POWERSInitiate of the Old Faith: PounceRanger at-will 1: Circling StrikeRanger at-will 1: Twin StrikeRanger encounter 1: Enclose the PreyRanger daily 1: Driving the QuarryRanger utility 2: Pack AlertnessRanger encounter 3: Paired PredatorsRanger daily 5: Lacerating MaulRanger utility 6: Evade AmbushRanger encounter 7: Sweeping WhirlwindRanger daily 9: Ranger's RecoveryRanger utility 10: Undaunted Stride ITEMSBoots of Adept Charging (heroic tier), Gloves of Piercing (heroic tier), Bracers of Respite (heroic tier), Reading Spectacles (heroic tier), Badge of the Berserker +1, Belt of Resilience (heroic tier), Lifeblood Hide Armor +2, Potion of Healing (heroic tier) (3), Dynamic War Pick +3, Impaler's Pick Light war pick +2 RITUALSRaise Beast Companion ------- Olcan, Level 10Gray Wolf, Ranger Companion FINAL ABILITY SCORESStr 16, Con 14, Dex 14, Int 8, Wis 14, Cha 6. AC: 24 Fort: 22 Reflex: 22 Will: 23HP: 94 Surges: 2 Surge Value: 23 (+5) MELEE BASIC ATTACKBite; 14 vs AC; 1d8 + Strength modifier (+3) COMBAT ADVANTAGEWhen a wolf has combat advantage against a target, the wolf gains a bonus to damage rolls against the target equal to teh wolf's Wisdom modifier (+2) TRAINED SKILLSPerception +14, Endurance +12 ITEMSFriend's Gift (heroic tier)[/sblock][sblock=On The Party]Amos - One ugly bastard.Brant - ...Corrin - ...Gregor - ...Olcan - ...Saben - ...Seeker - ...[/sblock]</blockquote>
