My own brother Mulgrut has challenged me for the rest of the horde just to get the sigil of the shadow for his own selfish reasons.
But I won't allow it.

"Mulgrut has raided for an agent of the shadow. An enemy of this clan!
We have angered the humans needlessly and they'll attack our villages for revenge." I try to reason with the horde against Mulgrut.

"The raid is past and forgotten and cannot be changed however, the shadow offers a good price for the vessel. We should take it for fortune.
Warriors hear my voice!" It would appear that my brother is winning the majority of the votes... For now.

"In the end, they would use the Vessel against the clans we are hunters and warriors not murderers and thieves Mulgrut would have you become slaves to the Shadow but I know his heart." I stated the fact that I know to be true from what we have done in the past when we went to an Elven village for food but less and less orcs came back.

"So you say." Mulgrut interrupted my train of thought.

"Brothers, hear my voice for honor" I continued and I jumped down from my higher ground to be with my brothers and as I did I came face to face with my rival who looks battle worn and old not to mention his complexion he should really see a dermatologist about it.

"It would appear Rugorim that the minority answer your call." He almost laughs victoriously.

"Those loyal to me depart with me" and almost instantly I knew what was going to happen he ordered those loyal only to him to arm their bows and take up arms against me as my ears twitch with the familiar sounds of bow strings being pulled back I turned around to look at Mulgrut and his horde.

I dodged arrows and swords just to get to Mulgrut the betrayer and wipe that smug grin off his face taking down whoever got in my way. Wielding my my greatsword with all my might and will but my true brothers had fallen and before I knew it I was surrounded on all sides so I swung my sword around never stopping so no one could get close enough to me to do me but I ended up tiring myself out instead...

"If your going to kill then just get it over with" I said breathlessly as one of his horde shoves me onto my knees.

"Killing you would be to nice" he says as he orders one the orcs to knock me out with the hilt of his blade.......
