[QUOTE="hbarsquared, post: 2158180, member: 4550"] [color=darkred][b]Chapter I Page Six[/b][/color] [indent][color=slategray]OOC: Although there is lack of cover, there is some concealment in the mist. Abdiel’s Hide check is allowed. And as explained in the OOC thread, no coup de grace on the chains.

He was a large Erenlander with short-cropped hair that clung to his skull as if a small, wet animal had taken residence there. Small eyes peered at Torak through the mist from beneath thick eyebrows, the sneer not one reserved just for Torak, but a perpetual one that he seemed to wear for all company.

Disgustedly, the pirate tossed them in Torak’s direction just as the chains holding Torak to the deck tumbled away. Turning his back on Torak and the beastwoman, he held his sword ready and peered into the mist in case any other orcs, unchained or bloodthirsty, approached.
