The Story of the Eight Gnoll Litter

[Asinjin]

The Warlord says, "Tox, you are correct.  The arrows and bow are better split.  Perhaps you can take the arrows and stab a fey with them."

[master po]

It is at this point that Khraz walks over and picks up the sword.  He has yet to speak since his return.
 
In a voice that is barely audible he says "enough."

"Have you learned nothing?"  His glower is focused on  Tox and Ozzle mainly.  "We stand here with the shadow of our father weighing heavy on all of us and you dare to squabble like insolent pups fighting over scraps.  Where is your honor.  Your sense of family."  With each sentence the volume increases slightly.

"I have lived like an animal, locked away in a cage, in a filthy pit, only to return to this!  Do you remember nothing!  Do you not know what is important?"  His volume has still only increased slightly but it is obvious that he is visibly agitated.

"I think it is time you were reminded of what our father really wanted.  What he stood for."  It is at this point that he has a crazed, almost feral look to himself.

"Rise up brothers!  Show these two the meaning of family.  Teach them what will happen when we fight amongst ourselves.  Join with me and show them the power of the pack!  Let them learn the lesson that all will soon know!  As one we are are unstoppable!"

The melee that erupts is horrific, everyone but the armored brother of Dedestroyt rushes forward and a huge brawl begins.  No one else is capable of taking any intelligent action.  Large cleric brother, what do you do.

Does this include Tox and Ozzle?

[Zunder]

The armor is hide?

[Asinjin]

The armor is hide?

It is a light armor, close to leather.

[Asinjin]

Does this include Tox and Ozzle?

Yes, whatever it is does not appear to have be discriminatory based on the words of your brother.

[Asinjin]

The melee that erupts is horrific, everyone but the armored brother of Dedestroyt rushes forward and a huge brawl begins.  No one else is capable of taking any intelligent action.  Large cleric brother, what do you do.

The large brother in the armor does nothing.  He watches for half a minute while the rest of you pummel each other with fist and foot and tooth and claw.  When it ends, Khraz is collapsed with a glazed and exhausted look.  The rest of you are in varying stats of pain.  Ozzle, Tox, and Drax are all unconscious.

The Warlord stands after it ends and looks at those that are standing, Scratch and the three nameless brothers.  "Good that is out of our system.  After they wake up, decide on the items, then get ready.  Tomorrow, you leave for the north."  He begins to leave.

"Let them know," motioning towards the brothers on the ground, "That I will not tolerate another outbreak."

He leaves.

[Valdis]

Scratch tilts his head slightly and moves his ears around a bit, then makes his way over to the items.  Once there he gingerly touches them until he locates the bracers.  When he does, he puts them on.

to the others that are still standing, "Whatever happens, one of us must stay with Khraz and make sure this does not happen again."

[Windblade]

The large brother that was not effected by the bloodlust pick up the helm and puts it on.  His name is grozik.

[whitesword]

Tox wake up yet? Always angry brother need some time in leech pit to pay for disrespecting Great Warlord Akrak. Maybe get some anger out of blood too.

[Asinjin]

Unless a brother heals the unconscious in some way, it takes an hour or two for everyone else to wake.

[Asinjin]

After fifteen minutes, your half sister beings in water, bandages, and such.

You rest and talk more subdued.  Finally, everyone recovers, except Khraz.
