Yes, a fire, but first we will need wood. I shall go look for some" Wuflgar said as he headed into the forest.
Within a short while he came to an old and dying tree.
"Ha, this old wood should burn nicely, and it shouldn't take too much effort to chop down either" Wulfagar said as he rubs his hands together.
Not mere minutes into felling the tree did an arrow land at his feet.
"You there! Do not take another swing against that tree" A voice called out.
Wulfgar turned around, but he couldn't see anyone. "Who fires arrows at Wufgar?!" he yelled. "Show yourself!"
A lone Night Elf, emerged from the upper canopy of a tree in front of the barbarian, who was ready for confrontation.
"Why are you befouling the forest of Ashenvale" said the Night Elf as she rose to her feet, and readied another arrow. "Why are you hacking down that tree?"
"It is but one old and dying tree, it will not be missed" Said Wulfgar. "I need it's wood for a fire, bah, I do not have time to argue, I must get to Azshara"
"So now you will go, after you have damaged the tree" Said the Night Elf "Typical, you humans are all alike, you cut down our trees, and dam our rivers, why can you not live in harmony with your surroundings"
"If your looking for a fight, Then you shall have it!! I will not back down" Wulfgar said swinging his axe around.
"RRRAAAAGGGHHHH!!!" Wulfgar cried as he charged at the Night Elf.
"hmph, foolish human' The Night Elf said as she fired several arrows at the barbarian in rapid succession.
"Muwhahaha, stupid twigs" Wulfgar said as he defected 2 of the arrows with his axe, while another pierced his right upper arm, though he was in such a frenzied state the pain barely registered.
"TSSKK" The Night Elf hissed angrily as she slung her bow over her shoulder and drew he sword. "Elune grant me strength!" The Night Elf prayed, then stood ready for the barbarians attacks.
"Grr agile little witch" Wulfgar cried, as his foe dodged his attacks. "stay still, and taste my fury!"
Wulfgar brought is axe down directly in front of him with such force it shattered the Night Elf's blade and sent her crashing to the ground.
"Get up" Wulfgar demanded "I may be a pit fighting barbarian, but I still have my dignity"
"As to do I, I yield" The Night Elf said. "I have been bested, this contest is over"
"Bah" Wulfgar moaned "it had only just begun, I did not even break a sweat"
Wulfgar stretched out his hand to help the Night Elf up.
"What is your name, Elf?" Wulfgar asked.
"Kathris, Kathris Moonsinger" The Night Elf answered.
"I am Wulfgar! of the Shadow Wolf Tribe of Barbarians, and Hero of Dun Craig" Wulfgar said with much pride "
"So you are a hero then" Kathris commented, I did not know heroes attacked trees"
"Bah again with that nonsense" Wulfgar grunted "I told you I needed Fire wood, if you will not let me have wood from your tree I shall go find another"
"oh very well" Kathris said "but you may take only the wood from that tree, AND NO OTHER!"
"Fine, Fine whatever" Wulfgar muttered "Say, My group and I travel to Azshara, but we know not the way, we are in need of a guide, how say you? without a guide we might have to just hack and slash our way there"
"If it means you spend the least amount of time in the forest, then I shall accept your offer, lead on"

Thasador taking another drink of his ale beside the camp, he gathered himself back to his feet. Pulling out a wet stone from his pouch, he then began to sharpen his Shuriko to ensure readiness of battle. Thasador then turned his attention to the forest line where Wulfagar was approaching the camp with wood.
"What took you so long?" asked Thasador.
Thasador soon realized that Wulfagar was not alone as he quickly drew his Shuriko out towards an elf that was accompanied by Wulfagar.

Krog'osh was leaning back against a tree, resting his leg and his back from the days long walk. It was comfortable to sit down, it really was. Thasador was sharpening his sword when suddenly he greeted Wulfgar again.
Krog'osh turned his head towards the forest, and shock spread across his face as he saw who, or what, came behind the barbarian.
"Elf!" he cried out, and bolted upright. Immediately he prepared himself to curse the newcomer; should she attack, she would find her tounge less than likely to cooperate with her.
He could only hope she did not know who the Blackrock were; servants of demons in her home could surely only end in conflict. Ready for battle, he awaited her reaction.

"GRR, you did not say you travelled with a Orc!" Kathris said with much disgust. "Wretched beasts destroyed so much of the forest, I see your choice of company leaves much to be desired"

What was she... oh, Grom. Krog'osh was relieved that was what she connected Orcs with. It forced him to explain little, if anything.
"Wretched beast you say? It wasn't aware cutting down trees was worse than releasing Illidan upon the world. If you do not like my company, you're free to leave, but if you stay, you'd best keep your insults to yourself."

"Krog'osh, Kathris is here as a guide through this dense forest" Wulfgar interjected. "We would do well to heed her advice"
"Ae canna say ae like the elf bein' hear, but Ae canna stands all these trees more, the sooner we are ootta hear the better" Thoradin said.

"Umm... excuse me, sir. Y-y-you... you look like a warrior. Are... are you a warrior? C-c-could you help me?" the boy asked.
"Wulfgar and Thoradin are the greatest of warriors, small one! I will crush your foes into little foe-shaped chunky bits! Who dares pick on you? Just point the way!"
"I... I don't have any foes, sir..." Said the boy.
"No foes? I am relieved. I trust those who prey on children no farther than they can be thrown, even if I manage to throw them pretty far, and throw them I shall!" Wulfgar proclaimed. "Er... I wonder what you need a warrior for when you have no foes?"
"(sniffle) I'm lost, sir. I was sent to f-f-find somebody who could help my village, but I've had all my things stolen and n-n-nobody can help me!" Cried the boy.
"What?! this is an outrage! What is wrong with your village, small one? How can we heroes help?" Asked Wulfgar.
"Evil creatures come every night and take people, and they burn our houses and trees too"
"They do WHAT!!" Exclaimed Kathris. "Actions such as this cannot be forgiven!"
"What can Wulfgar do to help? A tragedy, this is! I will slay those that need slaying!" Yelled the barbarian. "Where is your village little one."
" So.. so. your gonna help?" The boy asked.
"To take swords against monsters of great evil! That is reason enough to help you!" "You would?! Oh, wonderful! The boy said with much joy. "Thank you so much! MY village is not far from here, it's over that way, When you get there, talk to Chief Helfdain! He can tell you everything else! Thank you, sir!" "By the pits of the Abyss! Ye've agreed to run off into th' bloody forest on the whinings of a whelp, have ye?" Thoradin grunted. "Have ye lost yer senses? Bah!" "There is nothing wrong with a noble task duly undertaken. And perhaps it will be enjoyable to see you in a greener setting, dwarf." Kathris said. "These creatures must pay for the desecration of nature!" "Lovely, just lovely."Thoradin griped. "Aef yer plannin' this trip with that one, aet be best aef ye keeps us apart. I've an aching head already..." "Our races have agreed to a truce, why do you show such hostility?" Kathris asked. "Ae knoo thear be a truce, but that dinna means Ae hae tae like aet" "Stop complaining" Wulfgar interrupted. "I am sure there will be plenty of evil creatures for you to bury your axe into" "Aye, me axe be bloody READY!!" Thoradin said with an evil grin on his face.

Monsters. That meant battle. Which would reveal to Kathris he was a warlock. Not very good, but it was inevitable Krog'osh assumed, seeing as she was supposedly their guide now. Well, the sooner that was through and done with, the better.

Thasador listens to the boy at what he had to say while dodging trees and shrubs as they traveled to the village. Thasador never sided with his emotions due to events in the past, but the first time in a while, a mere boy, touched his feelings as Thasador replied...
"Strength is an illusion. Te only strength thy counts is thy one that is within ye heart. What thy do for thy greater good, that is strength in its purest form."
Delon looks to Thasador as he rides on his shoulders.
"What thy are able to accomplish and what thy are great at, that is strength. Muscles and height is an illusion, ye see? I am not proud of what I have done, yet I use it for thy better now."

"They um, I don't really know, I am asleep when they come." Delon said. "But Helfdain said they are large, and have big claws."
"Hmm that does not tell us much, I have fought many a large monster with claws." Wulfgar said to Delon.
"Helfdain said they were monsters from the forest i think."

As the party walked along in the forest, Krog'osh prepared a healthstone for use. From out of his robe in a folding in the inside, he drew out a small purple crystal. It was small enough to be enveloped by a closed hand. He then went on to manipulate the crystals design until it changed color, shape and weight. It turned heavier, lots it's sharp edges and turned into a green color.
"Here Thasador, take this" he said as he handed over the stone to the warrior "It's what we call a Healthstone. It acts much like a potion, but instantaneously, and it capable fo restoring some of your lost vitality in battle. It will not heal you fully, but it will perhaps give you the strength to fight for a little while longer and survive."
He turned to the rest of the group "If anyone else wants one, I can make some for you as well. But I do not know how many I will manage to create before we get to the village."

"Kathris, there is something I have been meaning to talk with you about for a while now, I would consider it a proof of manhood if you would but let me be your shield during the coming battle.
"You think I need protecting?" Kathris asked laughingly. "Surely you are already a man Wulfgar, why would you need to prove it now?"
"As young barbarians, we are often given the task of protecting spell casters, like yourself, though sadly, I was on my dajemma with my witch when were were ambushed, they killed her and I taken from my home and forced into a life of pit fighting, I never completed my dajemma, my rite of passage. Yes, I have proven myself on the battlefield many times, in my heart I know it not to be true."
"If you feel you must." Kathris replied. "Though I feel it is a little unnecessary"

The adventurers at last reached Delon's village, Cheif Helfdain was sitting outside of the great mead hall that occupied the centre of the village.
"I'm sorry, we didn't mean to wake you" Wulfgar said.
"Wake me? Helfdain said. I'm a grief-crippled cheif half drunk in the afternoon, what is there to wake? so Delon managed to find some warriors after all."
"Yes, I am Wulfgar of the Shadow Wolf Tribe, these are my comrades in arms, and we are here to save your village, tell us, what do we fight and how can we kill it." Wulfgar said.
"Trolls." Helfdain replied. "Damn Boody trolls!"
"Trolls eh? Good, me axe is been wantin' to see some action fer a lang time" Thoradin said. "But first Ae be needin' a drink."
"The mead hall is open to all who would help us dwarf." Helfdain said as he slowly rose to his feet. "Come let us drink."
They entered the mead hall. the occupants all had grim looks on their faces.
"woman and children, barely a man between the ages of 15 and 50" Wulfgar said.
"Hmph" said a large man standing by the door. "So, your here to save our village are you? The trolls killed 20 of our best warriors while they slept, what gives you kids better hope?"
"We won't be sleeping." Wulfgar replied.
"GRRRRR" The man grunted.
"Calm down Herger" Helfdain interjected. "this man and his firends are here to fight trolls, not you."
"Though aef ye gonna keep on like that yer'll be asking for an axe in yer skull" Thoradin mumbled under his own breath.
"We are all a little on edge, the deaths of our warriors weighs heavily on us all. Herger is the only one other than I who have braved their attacks more than four nights." Helfdain said as the group sat down at the large table occupying the centre of the hall.

"Wake me? Helfdain said. I'm a grief-crippled cheif half drunk in the afternoon, what is there to wake? so Delon managed to find some warriors after all."
"Yes, I am Wulfgar of the Shadow Wolf Tribe, these are my comrades in arms, and we are here to save your village, tell us, what do we fight and how can we kill it." Wulfgar said.
"Trolls." Helfdain replied. "Damn Boody trolls!"
"Trolls eh? Good, me axe is been wantin' to see some action fer a lang time" Thoradin said. "But first Ae be needin' a drink."
"The mead hall is open to all who would help us dwarf." Helfdain said as he slowly rose to his feet. "Come let us drink."
They entered the mead hall. the occupants all had grim looks on their faces.
"woman and children, barely a man between the ages of 15 and 50" Wulfgar said.
"Hmph" said a large man standing by the door. "So, your here to save our village are you? The trolls killed 20 of our best warriors while they slept, what gives you kids better hope?"
"We won't be sleeping." Wulfgar replied.
"GRRRRR" The man grunted.
"Calm down Herger" Helfdain interjected. "this man and his firends are here to fight trolls, not you."
"Though aef ye gonna keep on like that yer'll be asking for an axe in yer skull" Thoradin mumbled under his own breath.
"We are all a little on edge, the deaths of our warriors weighs heavily on us all. Herger is the only one other than I who have braved their attacks more than four nights." Helfdain said as the group sat down at the large table occupying the centre of the hall.
