So lets get started

[TEEbrown 348]

Th' Beast ov th' forest

The night air was stale as Bazian drew breath from coming undergound. Shrieks still came from the forest down below, always at night. Looking over to his apprentice, Grim, he begins to think if this is a wise choice, endangering him like this.

"Come now Grim, weh leave t'er th' forest."

The pair sets off from down the mountain, for a second time that day, as they where hunting not too long ago. They approach a tower that has long stood their from before their time. The two discuss what the purpose of such a tower could be.

They climb down the spiral steps of the old, forgotten tower, back out into the tainted forest. Bazian and Grim fight their way past the netherspawn to a hill. They scale this hill and find a circle of stones resembling Stonehenge. Around the perfectly cut stones, there where four pillars, each exalting a tree upon its shoulders. In the middle, there was a tall tree, with scarring up and down it's trunk. The two cautiously approach the center of the ring of stones unsure of what this place is.

"T'is place, t'is tree.. sumt'ins' not right."

"I t'ink your right Bazian, look at this tree. Something like that ain't natural."

The pair looks around the area when they find a ladder leading up a tree. Bazian sends Grim up the tree to see what's up there, as he cannot do so in his old age. Grim shout down that it appears as if someone was living up there, but it must of been sometime since they where around. This news does not settle well with Bazian. A loud squeal is then heard out of no where. This alarms the pair and they head straight back towards the circle of stones.

The night has lifted from the forest, but there is still a think mist covering the landscape. The both reach the center once again. They where shocked to find the scarred tree set ablaze with fire. They stood there and watched the flames die out but they could not find a single scorch mark on the tree. A rush of exhaustion came over Bazian, and he was forced to rest by the tree's trunk. Grim too felt an urge to sleep, but he was able to resist the temptation and stood awake. Although Bazian being older and a less able physical state, he slowly nodded off into a deep sleep.

All of a sudden, noises could be heard all around them. Sounds of squealing came from the bushes. Grim tries to get Bazian awake, but to no avail. The noises grow louder, the stench of rotten flesh engulfs the area. Grim then slaps Bazian awake. Bazian, still in a dazed state gets up from the ground. The beast squeals again.

"'ey, whose out there!?"

Bazian yells.

"Git out 'ere 'nd show yerself!

Bazian heads back to the tree and begins to chop at it's trunk. The beast gives out a loud squeal! He begins to hack harder at it, as he does this one of the four pillar explodes in a ball of fire!

"Grim come 'elp meh wit' t'is tree!"

Grim comes running over and begins to hack at it one the other side. The second pillar explodes in another ball of fire. The two chop at the tree with all their might.

"...You trespass on sacred ground..."

The Beast groans at the pair.

A third explosion comes from a pillar, burning the tree that was growing above it.

"That's it! Jus' a little bit moar!"

As the forth pillar explodes, the Beast come out from the forest, wrenching in pain. The Beast comes running out of the forest, right at Grim. Without hesitation Grim gives out a mighty war cry and charges right back at him. Bazian was parially covered in rubble from the last explosion, making him inable to help with the fight.

In the end, Grim came out victorious.

The pair chop down the scarred tree, believing that's what caused the forest to become tainted. Grim sets the land ablaze with fire using his flint and tinder. Bazian throws on the logs, apples and saplings. Anything that came from the tree must be burned.

"By th' might ov Urguan, ah command yah taint t'er beh flushed out ov th' land t'ough th' penatraitin' fire frum th' burnin' ov t'is evil tree."

The Clansdwarves head back to Kal'Anart, feeling stronger and closer together.

[Zezimus 1523]

A young, red bearded Mountain Dwarf, covered in intricate armour, an axe resting over his shoulder, slowly ascends the staircase into Kal'Anart, humming an ancient Dwarven tune to himself. As he gazes up at the towers above the mountain top, he grows weary after his long journey into Dwarven lands but is glad to finally be home with his clan once again. As he enters the hold, he peers around at the various, mostly unfamiliar faces of his clansmen until he notices his uncle, Bazian Grandaxe, bent over a table, a frothy mug of ale held firmly in his hand. Morgrim nods to Bazian, before pulling up a stool to the opposite end of the table and taking his seat.

"Uncle, it is good tae see ye again, it 'as baen years since we last spoke, I do 'ope ye be rememberin' tae task ye set me out upon... Fae t'e toime bein', it be done n' I feel t'at now be tae toime tae return t'e me brot'ers in Kal'Anart. Will ye accept me back 'ere Uncle? I will serve ye and tae Grandaxes as I ever 'ave done, until me very death, whet'er be it in tae Net'er or at t'e 'ands uv un uv t'ose greenskin bastards."

[Supertimmy4ever 19]

*Longbeard walks to the middle of Kal'Anart and shouts:*

"ALL GRANDAXES COME HERE!!!"

*he waits until everone of the grandaxes are in his sight, then he speaks out clearly*

"after my return i thought y'all had your name on the contract, and that some dwarves even past the trails, BUT NO! I am asking to Bazian, and the other Elders to start preparing for the Contract, AND i am willing to accept new members and make them try the PATH OF TEH AXE."

*after that Longbeard waits fer a responce*

[Watyll 1104]

Grimherst watches the shouting dwarf and raises an eyebrow in amusement. He then goes back to sharpening his axe and humming a dwarven mining song.
