[QUOTE="HolyMan, post: 5063615, member: 84167"] The story of how Bairan became Chieftain of the Forest Gnolls as told by Martomum Stonebreaker (translated for easy reading) [sblock=Story] It was a long time ago when last I was in these woods, I can say for sure that there was no grey in my beard. The four of us (Fallon, Bairan, Dellex, and Martomum) were sent here to stop the gnoll menace. And they were a menace to all who lived near these woods, or tried to make a living from the forest. Well we first entered and tromped around for two days without ever finding any gnolls, and we ended up on the other side near Harkon Manor. It was there we learned of the raids and all we had to do was wait and the gnolls they would come to us. We decided to go out to a farm and wait for a gnoll raid and sure enough that night they attacked. During the raid we took a captive and got out of him the location of the gnolls main camp. Ready to wipe them out we set out with our captive to end our quest. It took three days to get there and during that time Bear would talk with Bark's Loud (the captive), I think old Bear started to like the dog-man. Well it came to be that we were ambushed and surrounded by over twenty of them, all with arrows pointed at us. And naturally we surrendered and were takin to the camp as captives. That evening they lit a huge bonfire and savagely danced around it, yipping and howling at the moon. During this ceremony Bark's Loud came to talk to us, seems he took a liking to Bear, he told us the only way to escape was for Bear to challenge the Gnoll Chieftain Dead Moon. If Bear were to lose his last wish would be grant, and he could wish us to be freed. If Bear won then as chieftain he could order whatever he wanted to be done with the prisoners. I watched as Bear and Dead Moon fought around that fire, a battle not only of muscle and steel, but of heart and courage as well. Bear killed Dead Moon and became Chieftain and it was his first taste of what it was like to rule, then like now he hated it. We spent almost six months living with the gnolls and learning about them. And when Bear believed he had taught them enough to support themselves without raiding and stealing, he appointed a good hunter named Quick Dart to rule the gnolls in Bear's name. We never returned to these woods till now. [/sblock] [/QUOTE]
