"Speak clearly old woman, or we shall have to make you do it!" Krog'osh proclaimed. "Riddles are for the sinster who seek to mock, the dying who seek to irritate. Or the crazy." The orc looked at the old hag. "And you're all of that, aren't you?"

"Bah, madwomen are not to be feared." Krog''osh scoffed "Especially not human madwomen, who are old as well. What we should fear are mad trolls killing us in the field of battle. Let us go see this woman you speak of."

"RRAAAAAAAARRGH!!!" Immediately upon seeing the first troll, Krog'osh started his magic. He started channeling, focusing the power of fire into his hands, and then unleashed it upon one of his foes. The troll immediately burst into flames. Not slow to reacts, Krog'osh immediately followed up a curse that slowed the trolls feet so he could move forward at walking speed; then he pummeled the troll with Shadow Bolts. The troll came close, but died before he could even reach the warlock.
When he fell, battle had been joined all around him, trolls clashing with humans and his allies. Krog'osh started to help against their foes from behind the lines, but within moments, two trolls both came running towards him. He quickly started his channeling again, but instead of focusing fire this time, he concentrated on fear. Menacing beasts, terrifying natural disasters, vengeful gods, anything which might spawn fear, he thought of. Then he unleaches it upon one of the trolls.
The warrior's eyes opened in wide terror as he turned around and started running in wild panic, away from Krog'osh. The spell had taken too long though, because as he turned to the other troll, he was mere yards away. Having no time to do anything else, Krog'osh threw am agonizing curse upon him, one that would slowly build up to cause his adversarie terrible pain. Then the troll crashed into him with his axe swinging, and they both fell to the ground.
Trolls are large creatures, and the troll now wrestling with Krog'osh was bigger than the orc. The foul smell of his breath enveloped him as the troll tried to bite and chew at him with his tusks, all the while forcing the axe closer and closer to Krog'osh arms and throat time and again. He had to do something fast, the troll was a warrior and stronger than him, he would prevail over his warlock training if this continued.

"Then let's not waste time!" Krog'osh roared as he stood up. "We shall head there and give your men aid Helfdain." he said as he quickly strode to the end of the hall and towards the open.
As he walked, his skin turned hard and solid, just as it had in the last battle, and he prepared himself for battle. Trolls were fierce enemies when angered, but they weren't spellcasters. And that was an advantagew to Krog'osh and his allies.

"I assume you know more about this than I do Night Elf." Krog'osh stated in a neutral tone towards Kathris.
"Either way, it seems to me we have three options. Either we raze the meadhall since that agresses them, we find out what they want and sovle it peacefully, or we defeat them. I doubt you'd agree to the first option though, and I also doubt we can talk to these trolls. Which leaves us with fighting them. But if so we need to know more about their numbers, what tactics they use, who leads them and where their lair appears to be.

Krog'osh whispereed quitetly, and quite surprisingly, to Caliban sitting next to him "Be quiet. We're strangers, they're people have died and they have no idea who we are. Of course they're suspicious."
In a louder voice he continued to all gathered "Trolls then you say? And they eat the flesh of the dead? That sounds like Forest Trolls to me, but I've never heard of any trolls living in Kalimdor. I though all of then were native to the Eastern Kingdoms."
He hesitated for a while, then continued "It doesn't bode well that trolls are here, it would give the impression that someone or something else lies behind this. But it could also be to our advantage. If the trolls are newcomers here, then they cannot know the countryside very well. That would put them at a disadvantage."

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."

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.
"We have no time to waste then. The sooner we get to this village, the faster we'll be done."

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 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.

"A good thing for you then that I don't want to hit you either, or else you'd be lying on the ground screaming in pain right now. But if you pull that trick of again, I may change my mind.
Krog'osh turned away from the youth and towards the rest of the party.
"Shall we get moving again?"

Krog'osh all but hurls himself at the newcomer in defense, but realizing it's just a human obviously thinking he played a good joke, he stops himself. Barely.
More than just a little angry at the youth, he considers to incinerate him for a moment, but once again stops himself. Once again he reminds himself not to fight needlessly, and so he settles for harsh words instead.
"What makes you think we want your company after carelessly firing an arrow right by our heads, boy? And how old are you? Last day's battle was your first battle ever I say, if you even participated at all."

"Good. We should get moving then, so we can get to the bottom of this."
As they continued to journey, Krog'osh remained sceptical towards the groups potential. Two mad barbaric brutes who would surely cause trouble one way or the other wasn't a good premise for the objective. He could only hope this newcomes was smarter than the other two.
"What is your name stranger?" Krog'osh asked. "I am Krog'osh of the Blackrock Clan."

"Greetings warrior" Krog'osh hailed the new man. "We're heading for Azshara, a land of ruins and ghosts from the past, vile Naga, and apparently also an unusual metal. We can certainly need your help, the region is a dangerous place far from established civilization."

So Azshara it was. Amn was already working out well, many people wished to travel there. That left Hyrule and Kalimdor. Since no one with any deeper knowledge of the land had volunteerer, Krog'osh had felt it necessary for him to take the journey. It didn't really suit him, but we was going to Kalimdor after all and not Azeroth. Otherwise he wouldn't have gone there no matter what.
"Calm down the two of you. You can scream all you want on the battlefield, but save that energy for then. Do either of you know exacly where we're going to be heading? And what exacly were we supposed to look for when we get there?"
