He is a Seren barbarian here to explore The Hidden since it is said to be poison to dragons.There are several adventurers here talking and laughing.   Two human fighters (Karl and Narl), a warforged (Two), a bugbear (Ba-rak) and a female human rogue (Sue).As the group approaches these new adventurers the Warforged steps up to stop them.  “Hello.” He states in a monotone voice.“Hello.   We have come to see and pay our respects to this great warrior.” Replies the barbarian.“Well…. Here I am.   Give me your respect.” Quips the bugbear merrily (with his hand inches away from his heavy mace).The goblin thinks of three ways to kill the scarred Bugbear.The bugbear has no hair from his knees down with heavy burn scars.[DM NOTE:  this is the second time “this” bugbear has been seen here.  Each time as a different person.  One player knows this bugbear from a prior campaign-  Piik from Eldeen Heroes.   WTF  The player is confused but keeps that his character (Khiis) doesn’t know this]“You are no dragon.”“Well, no.  But I am a great warrior.”“Enough Ba-rak.   These people have traveled long as we have.   They deserve some slack from your idea of humor.”“I am hurt.”“Must be used to it by now.” States the orc.Sour looks from the bugbear and two humans.“We came in peace but if you want a fight…..” Begins Dan looking at Sue, their leader, whom has now stepped away from the dragon bones clearly wielding a dagger.The warforged shifts to be between the barbarian and his leader.  “It is okay Two.   They are tired.”Dan looks up at the dragon remains again then stats it is time to go.   “Well…. That was disappointing.” Says the scarred bugbear once they have left.“We have things to do yet.  Like finding your “twin” in the ruins.”BARRAKAS 28,1000“You seemed truly taken back by the bones.  Why?” asks Xena.The barbarian barely shrugs.   His mind is elsewhere.Payback is just happy they found a small plot of land to sleep on.RHAAN 1, 1000It is late in the day before they reach a large section of glass.   They find an opening with the remains of a ruin there.  Only the stone floor remains and even this is cracked and crumbling at the corners.   Still, it is enough to comfortably sprawl out to sleep.Dan rolls over and whispers to Xena.   He wonders if she is the kind of adventurer that is active at night.  She looks at him in a mix of approval and distain.  As a follower of The Fury, she is okay with this but quite frankly, she is tired and annoyed he ignored her all day.   She is not here for sex.    Well…. Not just that.She rolls over and  tells him to go to sleep.</blockquote>
