The Great Hunt of Kurnhuelde IC

A warm and humid breeze flows through the encampment, whipping to and fro the woven banners of different clans raised above the tents. The Hunter's Moot had chosen a pleasant bank along The Gryhst for the meetup, south of the Makdis Narrows. The wide river flows north before you, allowing a seasonal migration of dramok fish toward the briny delta of Valdriz. There are a few orcs with fishing poles and spears, working at the shores to some success. This is the final evening of the celebrations, a three-day-long ceremony that includes immense feasting, drinking, wargames, brawls, competitions, and drunken debauchery.
The sun will set in a couple hours, and then soonafter the men and women chosen for this Hunter's Moot will rest for the night, to begin the hunting party at dawn. A few of the elders have just finished their collective prayer and the servers have seen to the now-full barrels of ale. While the hunting party will only be about twenty strong, there are over fifty orcs in the encampment, a portion of them elders and important figures of clans to see the party off. Despite current skirmishes and raids, the honchos present are doing an impressive attempt at putting on hold their tensions.
A large bonfire crackles, loosing occasional embers, but the balmy weather makes it hardly more than a traditional requirement. Around it, chatter and laughter echo out to even the opposite riverbank. The few of you have gathered around two orcs who have gotten entirely too intoxicated and are now wrestling each other on the grasses underfoot.
"Give him hell, Drek!"
"Pin his ass! Hah-hah!"
"Quit letting him punch your ugly face, Gornak!"
The dozen or so of you crowd around, egging on the pair or staying silent and watching. There is ale to drink, pleasure to be had, fish to catch, and fighting words to be said.

Traza chuckles to herself as she watches the brawl, enjoying the sight of Gornak taking a pummeling. Taking a swig of ale, she shouts, "How do you expect to woo a woman if you can't even hold your own, Gornak?" Maybe this'll bring his pride down a notch, she thinks with a smirk.
Although she slightly misses being home, she is filled with excitement for the Great Hunt that was only a day away from beginning. The nearby river, reminding her of home, at least helps remove some homesickness. Growing weary of the fight, Traza catches one more glimpse at Gornak's bloodied face, and smiling, walks over to the riverbank. Let's just hope the rest of the region is this beautiful. And that these lots I'll be stuck with aren't worse than Gornak. Picking up a fishing rod, she sits along the serene banks and casts a line.

Kogul is out of his element and it makes him uncomfortable, a fact hidden behind his icy, grimacing facade. What beast is so great they expect us to put aside our differences? He'd heard tales of the legendary heroes of old, sure, but they took place at a different time, when great beasts were common and the orcs of Kurnhuelde more unified. If this beast has been around for so long, why does it only now need slaying? It must not be that menacing if it can go centuries unchecked without causing too much trouble.
He watches the brawl unfold briefly, but is quickly bored of it. He's seen many brawls, featuring much more skilled combatants, so a few drunk men rolling around on the ground does not appeal to him. Especially not when they are a couple of foreigners. He steps away to look out over the river shortly into the fight, seeking some solace from the hustle and bustle of the camp. The Warchief sent me, so I will do as he asks and aid this hunt. I cannot guarantee him that I will remain civil, though. As he gazes on, he hears footsteps and turns to see an unfamiliar woman approach. He leers as she nears the river, some 10s of feet away, and picks up a rod to fish.
Glad for the lack of conversation, he turns back to the river and continues to gaze out upon it, watching the waves and the occasional fish leaping out of them. He thinks of Kabila and his friends, missing them more than he expected he would in this unfamiliar territory. He thinks of the mountain, and how he will soon be venturing into land he considers enemy territory with people he considers his enemies. He thinks of his father, who would be much more interested in assisting in the hunt, and who is likely full of pride knowing that his son is going to be a hunter after all. Let's just get this over with.

Argnok takes a swig of ale as he sits, his lone eye scanning the goings on in the makeshift camp. His gaze rest on the brawl for a while, watching the two younger orcs go at it. As one punch sends blood splattering across the ground, he smirks a crooked smile. It's not quite the real thing but a fight is still a fight. He takes another drink from his tankard, wondering how long it will be before the drunken brawls turn into fully fledged duels. It would be surprising and disappointing if the moot ended without any deaths. He could name many deep seated rivalries among the orcs gathered just off the top of his head. Some his own.
Growing bored of the fight, he downs his drink and walks over to those gathered around it. "If you're fighting over anything worthwhile you should be doing it sword in hand. Not rolling about on the floor like a couple of dogs."

Another orc near Argnok raises his weathered voice in response to the other orc's words.
"Don't encourage them," he half-sighs, rolling his eyes as the men drunkenly pummel each other.
"The last thing we need at the moot is some uncaged violence to erupt. I'm sure you know well that there are many clans here that are on hostile ground." He looks to be aged, but not as old as some of the elders.
"And who are you? I've not seen you before in my travels," he asks.
"Judging by your attire, I'd suspect you're from Mordraar. Am I right?"
At the river bank, Traza's line stays dormant for a few moments while she watches a couple other anglers have varying success. Her rod tugs suddenly. With a start, she quickly anchors in a decent sized dramok fish about half-way before the thin twine gives way at the pull.
"Nice try!" some orc shouts, several yards upriver.
Kogul Kal stands at the riverbank, his eyes following the current. A few of the dramok fish leap into the air for short moments before splashing back into the water. Their shiny scales reflect glints of sunlight and the scene before him feels strangely beautiful.
Traza and Kogul- [SHOW]
- Something catches your eye across the wide river, and it grabs your attention. Beyond the opposite bank and behind a few tens of yard of brush, you can see some sort of fire quickly start up. Thick fumes billow vertically in a silent but heavy fashion.

Kogul watches the smoke, trying to get a better glimpse. He'd rather not start an uproar over a planned event, so he tries to be certain it is unnatural before going to anyone with the news.

Kogul- [SHOW]
- You see at least two figures through the brush, by the fire, but you can't make out much beyond that. The fire itself definitely looks to be some sort of artifical one, like a bonfire. Due to the wet conditions of the Drekkis Valley, forest or brushfires are very uncommon here.

Argnok nods, his gaze unmoved from the fight.
"Name's Argnok," he says after a pause.
"Some call me One Eye," he adds, quickly pointing a thumb at his missing eye. He pauses once more to gauge the reaction to his name.
"You must be well travelled to tell a man's clan from his clothes," Argnok says, turning to face his companion.
"Would I have heard of you?"

At the mention of One Eye, the weathered orc narrows his eyes, racking his brain it seems.
"Hm, that sounds vaguely familiar. Though I'm sure there have been a few before you that were called that. After you, maybe not. The elders are saying this is the last of the Great Hunts for possibly ever. Good opportunity to have your legacy written in the annals. You could be the One Eye," he replies, the last sentence with a smile.
The orc takes another glance at Argnok's attire, pausing a moment before replying.
"As for me, I've traveled to almost every part of our homeland, I suppose. Some places much more than others. I'm Parvak, the Wanderer. Though wanderlust is not my sole motivation -- I map for a living, and have been for a couple decades now."
Argnok- [SHOW]
- You've heard of the recent mapping attempts in Kurnhuelde, but you don't recall the man's name or anybody called the Wanderer.

"Ha! I quite like the sound of that," Argnok replies to the suggestion of becoming the One Eye.
"Unsurprising we don't really know each other then. Different circles. I'm the clan's Warchief," he replies. "I'm sure your knowledge will be useful on the hunt," he adds. Although when it comes to facing the beast I suspect you won't amount to much.

"Ah, the Warchief from Mordraar. Well met. You do look the part," Parvak says, his eyes alit with interest. "I speak mostly to the hunters, recordkeepers, and some traders of the clans I visit. The best people to glean information I need from. And yes, I grew up tracking animals myself. I imagine it is both my skill in that and my cartography that got be invited to the moot. Hopefully the Hunt will also offer opportunities for my mapping as well."

Kogul narrows his gaze at the sight of the others in the distance, and quickly turns towards the camp. He marches towards the nearest group of people, consisting of two older men, one with a missing eye, and interrupts their conversation. "Do you know if there is meant to be a bonfire across the river? If not, then we may have an issue," he says matter-of-factly, not really caring whether the conversation he'd interrupted was important.

"It could just be a few people who're finding the camp a bit small," Argnok says unfazed by the news. He turns his head to face the newcomer, his eye staring down the younger Orc. He sizes up Kogul for a moment before turning back to Parvak.
"Yes, I imagine the beast is hiding out in some of the less mapped areas, otherwise we'd likely have killed it already," he says continuing their conversation.

"No," Parvak says in reply to Argnok. "The hosts required we stay on this side of the riverbank. Something about a territory issue with Clan Makdis, I recall. Not any of our men, I'd imagine. Sure it wasn't a brushfire? Though it is rather wet this time of year..." He trails off, unsure of the situation.

Kogul glares at the two men, as one barely addresses him and the other completely ignores the question.
Don't know what I expected from uncivilized foreigners. He walks further into the camp, and stops to look around for whoever put the gathering together.
Someone here will know.
OOC- [SHOW]
- Does Kogul know who organized the moot? If so, could he spot them in a crowd? If so, does he?

"Hm," Parvak grunts, curiously, watching the other orc stalk off toward the meeting area.
Kogul makes his way to the bonfire, spotting one of the elders by his traditional huntmaster garb, making his way toward him. You vaguely recognize him apart from the other two of them and recall his name is Jogahl. Together, the three huntmasters put together most of the planning for this event. They sent the envoys and personally invited each orc. "Ah, Kogul Kal, yes?" he asks as you step up. "Enjoying the celebrations?" He gives you a smile that does not fully reach his eyes, indicated by his deep wrinkles.

Noticing the rising pyres across the river, Traza raises an eyebrow. Turning towards the orc who had shouted to her earlier, she shouts, "What do you suppose is happening over there?" Pointing to the mighty flames, she adds, "Just more festivities or are those flames of rage, do you think?" I'd rather not see the fires of destruction on such a beautiful night, with all this beautiful, short-lived peace.

The fisherman cocks his head toward Traza after a moment, realizing she was calling to him. He looks at where her extended arm points, squinting across the river at the strange flames. "Can't be good," he fires back. "The huntmasters forbade any of us from going over there. And that's too big for a simple campfire." He gives it another look before setting down his pole and stepping over to her. Now that the orc is closer, you can see that he is attractive and quite muscled. You're sure you've heard a few mentions of him during the celebrations. "Might be we've got some jackasses breaking the rules for the rest of us. Let's talk to the geezers, you think?"

Hardly, Kogul thinks to himself, though he is not in the mood to begin hostilities. "Yes, though I've noticed something odd. Across the river there seems to be a bonfire raging, and I spotted some men moving nearby. Is this a part of the moot? It seems out of the ordinary to have it split between river banks," he says, eager to get to the point and find his answer so he can once more enjoy gazing out over the river in peace, alone.

Jogahl's crafted smile falls away as his eyes narrow. He spends a short moment wordless, his eyes focused on Kogul. "A signal fire, I presume..." he responds, turning and squinting his eyes to see out across the water himself. "But for who?" the elder asks rhetorically. "Our moot has no enemies. Perhaps someone seeks to toy with us. A harmless prank?"
Another of the huntmasters step over, noticing the disturbance. His name is Yevnak, Kogul recalls, and he's the youngest of the three. "We should ready ourselves for what may lie ahead, Jogahl. Foul play or not, it is foolish not to prepare for the unexpected." He hails a pair of stewards, issuing them commands to send forward to some of the trackers. "We need to scout the perimeter and ensure our safety. Kogul Kal -- did you get a glimpse of the men across the river?"

"He seemed rather full of himself," Argnok says to Parvak once Kogul Kal is out of earshot. "Although I suppose most youngsters always are. I've probably forgotten more than he knows," he laughs, starting to like Parvak. They were both nearly Elders but still competent in their fields, plus Parvak's affinity for mapping and exploration, rather than fighting, meant he was hardly a threat to the one eyed Warchief.

"There were at least two, possibly more. The brush and smoke made it hard to see," Kogul says, his face shifting from annoyed to serious. "You think someone would truly be foolish enough to attack a gathering of the best combatants in Kurnhuelde?" he asks, genuinely surprised that it is even a worry. He places his hand on the hilt of his blade, prepared to use it if need be, but doubting the necessity.

As the man walks closer to her, Traza smiles, his looks catching her eye. Not a bad looking fellow, that's for sure. At his mention of speaking to others, she nods. "Yes, that'd likely be best. Don't want anything getting out of hand or causing trouble, especially on a night like this." Eager for answers of any sort, she begins to walk towards any elder she can find.

"He did," Parvak agrees. "Though you're right on about youngsters. I don't hold it against them. If you'd've seen me in my youth, you'd feel the same." He motions for Argnok to follow him as he steps over to where the elders are meeting with Kogul Kal. Traza and the other orc step up as well, listening to what Yevnak says.
"Yes, I do," the huntmaster responds, his face worried. He eyes Kogul's hand drifting to his blade. "I hope that won't be necessary, but we shoul--" his words are cut loose as an unseen arrow slams into his back, burying into his flesh. "Unghh," he cries, falling to his knees from the surprise and force. Shouts erupt as a few more flit past the lot of you. The orc standing with Traza takes one in the thigh, and the man grunts. "Protect the elders!" he cries out, pointing forward to the nearby hill where a few dark figures stand atop, nocking arrows onto their bows. They look to be a hundred yards out or so, now illuminated by the last rays of light from the fading sunset. "We should retreat!" Jogahl cries out, covering his head from the hail of arrows and trying to attend to Yevnak.

"Likewise," Argnok says to Parvak, following him over to the Elders.
As the arrows start to fly, Argnok ducks down, taking his shield off his back and holding it above his head.
"I fucking hate arrows!" He says angrily, drawing his sword.
"I'm going to rip them limb from fucking limb and feed them to the dogs!"

Cowards, Kogul thinks as he spots the archers from afar. He removes his swords from his back and steps towards the hill.

Traza is taken by surprise as an arrow finds its way into her companion's thigh. As arrows continue to fly, the orc woman says,
"Oh hell no. I did not leave Kjuldis to be brutalized by a bunch of ninnies that don't know how to enjoy a celebration." Grabbing her quarterstaff, she joins the others in pursuit of the foes.

Many of the orcs spread out from the attacks, trying to find cover among the chaos of arrows. You are among the few that have a grip on the situation, and you propel forward, eager to tear down the ambushers. The muscled orc beside Traza snaps off the arrow's body and trudges forward, with Parvak just behind the rest of you. From beyond, a half-dozen bowmen appear to be edging over the steep hill, readying more arrows to fire off at the moot.

Growing ever closer to the attackers, Traza cannot hold back her annoyance for much longer and, with a twirl of the hand and slamming of her quarterstaff, she summons a bird of prey, consumed in flame. The miniature phoenix swoops at her foe, burning it, before circling above, waiting to strike once more.
May the Earth and its bounties torment you like this forever.

Ambush!
His hide scorched by Traza's companion, the central archer looks worse for wear. Kogul launches up the hill with uncanny momentum, taking the injured ambusher by storm. A powerful swing and Kogul's prey slams to the ground with a deathrattle and a sickening crunch of bone.
The far-right ambusher's arrow goes long, to Traza's appeal. Parvak keeps moving toward the skirmish, and what looks like his wolf-hound charges into the fray almost as fast as Kogul. It bites at one of the archer's feet, who backs off and misses a shot at the warrior. Another finds his mark and an arrow painfully lodges itself into Kogul's torso. Argnok notices the man beside him keeping in step as they charge forward.

Ambush!
Kogul's strike near kills the other brutish orc outright, but despite Traza's support, the ambusher hangs on to life, his teeth bared. Another of the archers lands an arrow in Traza's flesh while Parvak moves forward. Commanding the wolf by voice, it gnaws at one of the ambusher's feet. Despite the annoyance, the archer and a comrade of his both manage to sink arrows into the approaching Argnok who begins to feel the lethal weight of them. The thickly muscled warrior moves up as well.

Argnok steps forward, catching his breath from the sprint while the muscled warrior beside him takes an arrow painfully. One of the brutes rushes forward, slamming into Bardem with his weapon. Despite blood dripping from the orc's shoulder, he holds strong.
Nearby, a crack of thunder sounds as the other brute, enraged by the challenge of Kogul, slams his heavy staff into his enemy's side. The blow drops Kogul to his knees, and the pain sets in just before an arrow launched by a nearby archer adds insult to injury.

As Traza takes on a bestial shape, one of the far archers fires a shot that pierces her hide. Parvak commands his pet from afar, but two of the archers take the opportunity and land their shots on the older orc. He cries out in pain, cursing at them. Emboldened by finally being in the fray, the thickly muscled orc slides in between Traza and Argnok. With a swing of his massive craghammer, the brute before him's head splits in two. The orc steps forward, engaging another archer with no hesitation.
