A Gift For Storm-Peak

[Princeton 396]

 

--

 

It was cold, not just a normal cold that leaves you wanting a blanket, but a cold that rips through your bones and leaves you chattering like a wobbling chair. The peaceful surrounding of Stormpeak lays there undisturbed, but to a closer observer, you would hear the unnatural crackling noises and feel a certain sense of... despair. The hulk of dark metal walks up the path towards Stormpeak,  his tattered crimson cape swaying behind him. He stays rather motionless from a distance, his void filled helm locked onto the keep, he stands this way for a while before deciding to walk in.

As you approach the entrance of the keep, your nose would pick up the foul scent of a rotting corpse on the air, it filling your nostrils and leaving you with the feeling that your going to vomit. Upon even closer inspection, you see something that resembles a human.... barely. The mutilated body lays hanging from a rope by it's neck, the eye sockets of the being seemingly empty. The chest of the corpse has a gapping hole in the middle, the insides splattered on the ground in front of the keep, blocking the entrance. The corpses' limbs are rearranged, the arms hanging by a thread out of the knee sockets on both legs, while the legs stick out from a large holes in the biceps. The top of the scalp of the body is gone, exposing a large portion of the rotting brain. The black and cold heart of the corpse seems to be sewed on the outside of the corpses chest. You wonder what kind of terror could do such an awful thing.

*Thorin walks down the staircase of Stormspeak, his warhammer in his right hand resting against his shoulder looks down the hallway, and sees a mangled up corpse in the short distance.

 

*Thorin walks up to the corpse, tilting his head to examine the rotting corpse. Thorin then ponders for a brief moment, he then walks back into the fortress of Stormspeak, shouting orders at the Edict to burn the body...

*Working far below Telchar pauses for a moment. Looking up he sees smoke rising from Stormpeak and the smell of death on the air...
