He was strong, fast, skilled, and even smart (for an orc). He mastered the arts martial at an early age, and even demonstrated a talent for magic. Unimpressed by the paltry tasks his tribe attempted, he abandoned them in search of greater glory and power. He considers himself the greatest of all orcs (in potential, at least), the mightiest race in the world (again, in potential), and holds all other races, especially half-orcs and elves, in great contempt.

Malither76 06-14-07, 01:12 AM	It has been many a nights since Gakhnalak last had a good nights sleep. Always the same dream with little differences plagued his mind. Always the same slowly sinking into the Lava feeling it burn his body away piece by piece while the Psion looked on with a smirk. Night after night the burning was felt. What could be done. Many knew of the draw, with it being the first of its kind in the arena. This bothered Gakhnalak even more. Knowing he was undefeated but still has a mark in the never mentioned third column of the score card. This bothered him greatly and with the constant feeling of burning every night how could he forget, what was he to do? Then one night it came to him in a dream. This was different he thought I'm not sinking in Lava where am I. It is ok, I know of your valor and of the madness you have been dealing with. I too am quite mad, but I can help you. Come to me the journey is a little dangerous but I am sure you can overcome what stands in your way. Let me offer my council and service to you. Head south to the Plains of Naestitya, I have been secluded here for a time. If you can get to me I will go with you back to the city and help you with your problems. The vision seems to have gone as quick as it came as Gakhnalak sits up in his bed thinking if what he just saw could be true, was it real. No matter it would be worth a try to end the constant madness. hope this is kind of what you were looking for. let me know if you would like to change it around
MindWandererB 06-14-07, 02:06 AM	Gakhnalak's eyes were wild. Now that was unsettling. His nightmares were bad enough, but visions? Resolving immediately not to speak to anyone about this, the orc quickly gathered up his travel belongings and left the WAR Stronghold, heading south.
Malither76 06-14-07, 11:33 AM	Gakhnalak finds himself traveling at a quicker pace than normal, the excitement of finding peace of mind has strengthened him. Every night he receives another vision in his dreams, that he is getting closer to the cleric. The open plains is a lonely and dangerous place to be by oneself, but Gakhnalak is so troubled already that this bothers him not. Then as he seemed to be focused on nothing but the path put in him mind, he sees a beast up ahead about 150' away stalking a grazing buffalo, but at the same time he spots the beast its head turns toward Grakhnalak with a purpose of defending its territory. The beast has 4 legs is orange with black stripes and resembles a large cat. Initiative Grakhnalak 3 Beast 6 The beast locks gaze and moves in now only 70' between in the open plains, it looks like ready to pounce at a moments notice.
MindWandererB 06-14-07, 12:27 PM	The orc, fearing that such a fierce predator is likely to be too close a match for him under these conditions, decides to change the odds a little bit. He draws his scroll of Invisibility, casts from it, and takes a step away from the beast and at an angle, so make it lose track of his position.
Malither76 06-14-07, 05:19 PM	The Cat very surprised to see its meal vanish puts its nose to the ground and moves toward the spot he last saw his meal. Gakhnalak finds it unsettling that the cats ears perk up and he thinks the Cat meets his gaze for a moment. Your move, the Tiger is 30' away. It knows your direction from scent.
MindWandererB 06-14-07, 05:40 PM	To try to fool the beast, Gakhnalak moves 40 feet directly away from it, then makes a 45º turn and keeps moving. He hopes that this will get him out of its scent range for a few moments, at least....
Malither76 06-14-07, 06:44 PM	Gakhnalak knows the beast is just that a beast and not intelligent by nature, he plays the odds and moves away from the Tiger, He notices the Tiger seems to follow his sounds for a bit but then loses him from distance. The Tiger moves out in the direction of the last sounds it heard and sniffs the air again but find nothing. Your move again, you are now 50' away and its not aware of your direction
MindWandererB 06-14-07, 06:54 PM	Excellent. Gakhnalak, sensing his advantage, tries to sneak away quietly for one more round, then tries drawing and casting from a scroll of Shield [CL 1], hoping it is not alarmed by the spellcasting (if it hears it). If that works, he'll spend the next two rounds applying Enlarge Person and drawing his guisarme.
MindWandererB 06-18-07, 11:19 PM	:bump:
Malither76 06-21-07, 06:17 PM	Gakhnalak moves silent away from the Tiger, he sees the tiger does not react to his movement but it smells the ground and turns his way closing 20' Gakhnalak knows he is being tracked but has enough time to draw and cast shield, the tiger hears the casting but keeps sniffing the ground for another 15' it then lifts its head in the air with Gakhnalak back in its scent. Your move tiger is 30' away
MindWandererB 06-21-07, 07:08 PM	Gakhnalak repeats his actions from a few rounds ago: a round of retreating followed by a round of retreating and drawing a scroll of Enlarge person, and finally a full round of casting it. Then he'll be ready to fight.
Malither76 06-21-07, 07:20 PM	Gakhnalak moves away 30' the Tiger starts following the trail again. Gakhnalak moves again 30' the Tiger follows, Gakhnalak draws and cast enlarge from a scroll the tiger follows and has Grakhnalak in his scent range again. Same thing your go tiger is 30' away
MindWandererB 06-21-07, 07:33 PM	Gakhnalak smiles. The unsuspecting tiger won't know what hit it... he draws his guisarme and prepares to hit the tiger as it moves through the reach of his weapon. Ready an action to trip as it reaches 15' away from him. That way he'll get a melee attack as an AoO, followed by the trip. If it resists the trip, drop the guisarme and switch to the flail next round. Repeat this pattern until it bases me.
Malither76 06-21-07, 08:59 PM	Gakhnalak pulls his weapon and waits on the tiger to follow the tracks, the beast gets close and Gakhnalak comes crashing down on the tiger, he becomes visible and tries to trip the beast up, the guisarme gets caught up between the Tigers legs and Gakhnalak is forced to drop it. The mighty beast then finishes its move rears back on its hind legs and swipes down with a claw across Gakhnalak's neck spraying the green grass with Orc blood. The beast does fail to grasp hold of the Orc Tiger 27/45hp Gakhnalak 21/43 I want to give you a chance to change your plan b/c of the critical you may not want to stand toe to toe.
MindWandererB 06-21-07, 09:06 PM	That's why all the buffs. Hopefully I can still pull this off. Gakhnalak roars in defiance, channeling his barbarian rage, draws his flail, take a small step back, and lays into the tiger for all he's worth.
Malither76 06-21-07, 09:47 PM	Gakhnalak draws into his orc bloodline and summons inner strength from his former tribe flying into a rage. He takes a swing at the tiger smashing it in the ribcage, Gakhnalak hears the sounds of bones crushing under his flail, but the beast still has some fight as it steps forward and rears back once again attacking in a flurry with 2 claws and a bite. But misses all 3 times. Gakhnalak feeling his luck change takes a step back once again and brings another mighty swing at the beast, this time smashing into its skull. The mighty tiger dropped in its place spasming from the trauma. Gakhnalak 21/43 wow rolls of 1,1,3 on its attacks nice swing of luck there. Sorry you had to use your rage early.
MindWandererB 06-22-07, 02:38 AM	The orc bandages up his wounds as best he can and proceeds on his way.
Malither76 06-26-07, 03:11 PM	Gakhnalak bloodied from the beast new it was too far to turn back now, so decides to press on. As he wraps some bandages around his wounds a vision pops in his head. It is the cleric again.You have come far, I will take this to mean you accept my help, but it is I who need your help first. About 1 mile south of your position is a camp. I am being held there by two bugbears, I think they are taking me back to their tribe. If you can rescue me I will be in your debt.
MindWandererB 06-26-07, 04:11 PM	Gakhnalak nods curtly, although he does not know whether the priestess can see it, and moves along, looking for tracks and being careful not to travel too much in the open.
Malither76 06-27-07, 07:33 PM	Gakhnalak was careful in his travels. Nightfall had came as he was entering a wooded area. It wasn't long before he noticed a light ahead, as he cautiously approached he realized it was a campfire. The fire had a dear spitted over it with a Bugbear standing cutting some meat off of it. Another sat on a log with his feet up on something on the ground. After studying the area for a moment Gakhnalak realized the something was a woman, most likely the cleric. The Bugbears are 15' away from each other, you are 100' away from them behind a tree.
MindWandererB 06-27-07, 08:06 PM	The orc quietly backs away another 100' so that the bugbears will not hear him using his scrolls: CL2 Shield, CL1 Enlarge Person, and CL1 Protection from Evil. Once those are completed, he returns to his original position, draws his guisarme, and charges the closest bugbear for a trip.
Malither76 06-28-07, 10:20 PM	Gakhnalak moves out to a 200' distance to buff, he draws his scroll of shield and cast, one of the bugbears hears the noise. Gakhnalak sees them preparing there weapons and shields. Gakhnalak draws and uses another scroll making himself large. One of the bugbears barely hear this casting as well, they take a look around there perimeter and one spots Gakhnalak. Gakhnalak now meeting his enemies gaze draws and uses another scroll. Both Bugbears draw and drink a potion, Gakhnalak sees there muscles swell. Gakhnalak now wishes to set up a charge so he double moves forward. The bugbears are cunning and smart creatures. The both take cover behind a a tree and wait for the orc. http://www.hwx.it/coco/coco.php;v=1;map=forest;a=Name,M,55,58,B ugbear 1;b=Name,M,59,56,Bugbear 2;c=Name,M,59,60,Cleric;e=Name,M,46,45,G akhnalak
MindWandererB 06-29-07, 02:09 AM	I assume 1) he got the Prot. Evil scroll off, 2) you just forgot to make the icon Large, and 3) you're not treating Gakhnalak as sitting in the swamp. Is the dark green undergrowth or regular terrain? The orc moves, draws his guisarme, and readies to trip anyone who gets near. http://www.hwx.it/coco/coco.php;v=1;map=forest;a=BugA,M,55,58;b =BugB,M,59,56;c=Prie,M,59,60;d=Gakh,L,46 ,45,47,51 Since we're running low on time, I'll just give you tactics. Just try to approach without leaving myself open to ranged attacks, and either trip or ready to trip. Pretty straightforward.
Malither76 07-02-07, 03:32 AM	The two Bugbears hold there position, both drawling and drinking another potion. Gakhnalak wants to take the fight to his enemies so he moves up and takes a swing at Bugbear one attempting to trip him. He knocks the bugbear down and then comes down with another swing cleaving into the beast shoulder. Gakhnalak 21/43 Bugbear 1 5/22 Bugbear 2 22/22 Bugbear 1 has no other option so he attempts to stand, Gakhnalak takes his AoO and cleaves the bugbear were he tried to get up. Bugbear 2 can't make it close enough to avenge his fallen companion so he move up an throws a javelin but misses. Gakhnalak sees his opportunity and moves to engage attempting to trip this one as well and he suffers the same fate as his companion. Bugbear 2 being faced with the same option as his friend tries to stand but gets cleave were he lay as well. Quickly now, I see you got my messages and I thank you for coming, I can help you but I fear we are not safe yet. The Bugbears were not alone they have a Minotaur with them as well, I think it went hunting. I won't be of any help, I used the last of my spell power to talk to you, and I'm afraid I don't have any gear. I do believe you will find a potion of cure moderate wounds on each of the Bugbears they stole them from me, but it looks like you could use them. Please let us hurry.
MindWandererB 07-02-07, 12:46 PM	"Yes, that sounds like a great idea. Let's go." Gakhnalak loots the bodies of their two potions and swigs one of them. He pauses only a moment to evaluate its effects and decide whether he needs to drink the other.
Malither76 07-03-07, 04:14 AM	Gakhnalak feels the healing energy surge through his body, almost fully rejuvenating him. 37/43 now. The two sneak there way through the woods as best they can. Being cautious to avoid the natural threats of the carnivorous animals. But it would seem today was not Gakhnalak's lucky day. As the Orc and Cleric exit the woods back to the open plains they are horrified for a moment as the meet the gaze of a large bull like creature 300' away with a caribou draped over its shoulder. The beast stops drops the caribou and yells out. That is my prisoner, you will die here today orc. The bull creature pulled a vial and drank it down as Gakhnalak noticed its muscles swell. He was standing 300' away with a longspear in hand and a large axe across its back.
MindWandererB 07-03-07, 06:21 PM	Gakhnalak's eyes narrow. "Not as easily as you might think." He draws his longbow while moving back 40 feet, and casts True Strike. Next round, shoot and move back again. Repeat unless the minotaur uses the Run action.
Malither76 07-04-07, 01:51 AM	The Bull, sees the cowardice of the orc. He taps a tattoo on his skin and drops to the ground. Gakhnalak fires then moves away, his attack misses the beast even with his true strike. The minotaur content on laying under the arrow fire draws and drinks another potion. Gakhnalak notices the beast stays still so fries from were he is at but misses again. He feels he may be too far out of range so moves back up 40' The beast then stands and taps another tattoo. Gakhnalak feels firing the bow is not going to work, so draws and uses a scroll of shield. The beast furious now at the orc charges ahead almost cutting the distance in half. Gakhnalak knows the beast is getting close so he drops bow, draws scroll of enlarge person and cast it. The Beast charges forward yet again. Gakhnalak knows he has to take the fight to the beast, he charges and attempts to trip the beast. he does so successfully but misses his follow up attack. The beast is enraged and tries to stand, allowing Gakhnalak a chance to trip it again and he does, so the beast stabs at the orc with its long spear from the prone position rolling a full 6 points into power attack but misses badly. Gakhnalak feels the tables turning he steps in 5' and attacks but misses. The minotaur attempts to stand again but is tripped again, furious still stabs out with a full power attack. But misses again. Gakhnalak tries to really take advantage by stepping in 5' again dropping Guisarme and drawing his Heavy flail taking a big swing at the beast crushing into it for 14 damage. Gakhnalak 37/43 Minotaur 47/39(51 potion)(+10temp) The minotaur screams as the flail crushes into himself, he drops his spear and draws his axe, gathering his wits a bit decides to attack normal. The beast now with the orc close drops his spear and draws his axe swings and misses again. Gakhnalak feels confident now and takes another swing. hitting for max damage of 26 Gakhnalak 37/43 Minotaur 21/39(51 potion)(+10temp) The Minotaur knows time is running out, but has no choice but to swing again but misses Gakhnalak feels he can end the fight so takes another mighty swing this time critically hitting the beast and ending its life. You did it, I think we should be home free now, so please confide in me, what can I do to ease your madness.
MindWandererB 07-04-07, 03:47 AM	2 misses with True Strike? Were they both 1's? I should have +27 to hit, -4 for range, and it's not proficient with armor so it shouldn't have any (maybe mithral chain, for an AC of 21), maybe a tad more from potions, but a 2 should still hit. I don't know where your rolls are. After the second True Strike bow shot, it would be time to buff. I should have time for Enlarge Person and Shield from that point, and to draw my guisarme and move back 40 feet (and, in fact, I should be moving back 40 feet every round, as I said).
