The night was cold and lonely on the Talenta plains,a single sound broke the quiet serenity of the night....
A halfling hunter and his dinosaur were on the prowl.
The last war was nearing it's end,the momentum of the nations-kingdoms was faltering and new enemies were becoming fast-friends.
At the behest The Lords of Karrnath,Hornfist the hunter was to enter the capital of Cyre and retrieve an artifact the Karrnathi mages would use to rid the Talenta plains of the troublesome warrior of the nations,leaving the halflings of the plains in peace and out of the war.
Hornfist the hunter grudgingly accepted,knowing full well the mission was near suicidal.His trusted mount and friend "Razor" was to be his only ally in this mission.
As he near the gates of the Cyre capital Hornfist shivered when he thought of the terrible lords of the undead he served and the punishment that failure meant,but he steeled himself and spurred Razor on into the gates.
The halfling barbarian,having no sense of stealth, charged the gates on Razor letting go a war call that would make the most seasoned war veterans shake in their armor.
As he dispatched the last of the guard he dismounted and began to make his way up the stairs to the castle proper Razor at his side and watching intently as the halfling drew his boomerang and drop another guard on the balcony.
After much fighting Hornfist and Razor finally came to the grand vault were the artifact was kept.
"This is too easy......" Hornfist muttered to Razor,and if the clawfoot dinosaur agreed he made no indication.
Sudden movement to his side caught Hornfist's attention,and as he turned to look he caught the glimpse of steel as the tip of a rapier flashed across his face and darkness took him.
He awoke several days later tied to a stump out in a wood clearing and his ally Razor gutted and maimed nearby.
A terrible rage filled the halfling as he saw his friend and ally laying broken upon the forest floor and he broke his bonds and rushed to the dinosaurs side letting out a cry of anguish that was heard from Darguun all the way to Cyre.
The next day found Hornfist,face torn and clutching a talon from a clawfoot dinosaur,in the public cabin of an airship set for Stormreach.
Well what'cha think?
