Ugroth the Dunewalker

*strides passed the gathering of orcs pissing and bleeding all over the sign. He barely even glances at them*

Very good. I could easily see the scene unfolding before me. ))

:) ))

I always love reading your stories.))

*Ugroth glances down into the pit and narrows his eyes. With a grunt and a puff of sand, he jumps the bars and drops into the arena, stepping forward to read the note. He nods shortly and leaves it there, moving to the wall to climb out again.* "Gug'ye bruddah."

Krug's Trials Orcs of all sizes tackle various different challanges. They are awarded a point at the end of each game won, and the orc/team at the end of the event with the most points are given a title and a weapon blessed by the Warlord (enchanted?). Challange ideas (If a team game,teams choose one orc to represent them in each of the different challanges.): -Archery (Accuracy over long distances. Moving targets and still targets). -Bare-fist fighting. -Agility: Jumping on top of fence posts/doors. -Climbing: Ladder puzzles. -Word games: Riddles (Not many of these). -Survival: Running trap gauntlets. Team-specific ideas: -'Playground'. Two/three to a team. Have to work together to get one orc to the top of the course to 'ring the bell'. (Inspired by the training playground for the young Spartans (Halo Universe)). -Team battles (Of course). -'Observation'. One orc is dumped at one end of a long corridor. He must get to the other end, blindfolded. The corridor is rigged with traps. Two team-mates watch from either side of the corridor (Up above) and guide him through it. The blindfolded orc MUST follow his team-mates instructions to the letter. (Even though you can see the course OOCly, your orc can't ICly. Any cheating and the team will be disqualified and beaten for their actions.)

The Kook-ee Snachur A long time ago ther liv'd too bub'hosh orkz in a hut in the desurt. A fat wun and a skinee wun. The skinee wun wood kook kookeez that orkz frum milez arownd wood kom to tast. Her name wuz Hugnug. The fat wun wood eet a kookee frum evur-ee bach to make suur they wer pur-fekt. His name wuz Dugnug. Wun day the bake-urz made a bach uv bachiz that wer pur-fekt in evur-ee dee-tail. Hapee with ther work, they went to sleep urlee. That nite a gree-dee kub sneek'd in to the bake-ur-ee. He went in to the bub'hosh pant-ree, and grinn'd. He ate and ate and ate until AWL the kookeez wer gon. Hun'-dredz of them and even the bach of bachiz the bake-urz had kook'd that aftur-noon. But the gree-dee ork ate too much! He had gottid fat frum awl the kookeez and nuw he kood nub moov! He riggul'd and skwirm'd but nub mattur how hard he tri'd, he kood nub get anee klose-ur to the daw! So he sat in the dark and waitit, kold and terree-fi'd. Wen the bake-urz fowndid the fat gree-dee kub they wuz angree! Dugnug pikid him up and drag'd him in to the kichin. They kuttid off his hed so he kood see wut wuz happen-eeng to him. He wach'd as the bake-urz kook'd HIM in to a bach of bachiz in ther big ovens. Wunz they wuz dun, they made his hed in to a flowur-pot. Nub gree-dee kub evur stole frum them agin. Moor-al: Nub steel or lat be turn'd into kookeez and flowur-potz. *If Opal went into Ugroth's room she would spy a pile of paper on his crafting desk. They had strange runes all over them, and this is the only one written in plain orcish. Perhaps when he gets back Opal could ask him to translate the others?*

You deserve it!

My only memory of Alras was when I got lost when I first joined.. This still brought a tear to my eye.
