Background[ | ]
As you near, you feel a vibrant history contained in the essence of this man's soul. Voices from its past seem to call out to you.
You see this orlan cautiously making his way down a dark stone corridor. His eyes are wide and he is constantly looking over his shoulder, every noise making him jump. He appears dressed for adventuring, but his armor is ill-fitting and his pack refuses to stay on his back. Another sound reaches his ears from behind him and he spins around, peering into the darkness, trying to discern the source of the noise. He stands there for several seconds, holding his breath, staring.
When nothing happens, he lets out a relieved sigh and turns to continue walking. His pack slips from his shoulder and cooking implements tumble out sending a clattering din down the quiet hall. He freezes, listening in the tomb-silent aftermath of the accident. Booming footsteps reach his ears from behind him. He lets out a little squeal and runs away from the approaching creature, clattering through his spilled gear. The footsteps speed up and the orlan squeals again, hurrying down the hall. There is a guttural growl close behind him and he turns to see an ogre emerge from the darkness behind him. The squeal becomes a yell and he puts his head down and breaks into a run. The ogre steps on the spilled gear and lets out a bellow of pain, breaking stride and looking down at its foot as it continues to hop forward. Panicked, the orlan hits a tripwire pulled across the corridor without even noticing it there. It knocks his feet out from under him and he tumbles to the floor, rolling a bit before ending up on his back. He lifts his head slightly and looks down the hall. The ogre has regained its stride and is running at him, hand out, intent on grabbing him. Both orlan and ogre are unaware of the battle axe swinging a deadly arc through the air, accidentally tripped by the orlan.
The axe buries itself in the ogre's face, stopping it in its tracks, hand extended, blood making a trail down its face and dripping to the floor. The orlan stares wide-eyed as the ogre goes limp, its weight slowly pulling it off the axe with a wet sucking sound. It comes loose and falls, eliciting a final squeal from the orlan, who scoots backward to avoid getting squashed by the falling ogre's head. After a few moments processing what just happened, the orlan quickly scrambles over the ogre's body and runs down the hall toward the exit.
