The Old Orc - Chapter 7

  • I left Fort Greymoor with a pile of dead bandits in my wake. I had to return to Whiterun for dinner, and sleep, but my travels took much longer than I anticipated. Evidently, I lack the restraint a wise Orsimer like my self should have, and I chased after every deer or elk I encountered. Of course, In my old age, I was unable to keep up and I was left stranded far from the road. I reached Whiterun at about 5 PM on the 18th of Last Seed, and entered the bannered mare where I had been living (The bounty collected has paid my rent thus far). I sad down across a table from a fiery eyed Nord woman. She bet a hundred Septims that I couldn't defeat her in a brawl, and being an Orc, I couldn't back down from the challenge. After both throwing and taking several monstrous right hooks, I defeated her, and won a hundred more Septims. That victory will pay for ten more nights of lodging. I will hit the road to Windhelm tomorrow to join Ulfric's great forces. I hope they don't mind that I am an Orc. May Malacath look over me

    This is a very nice entry, Perkins. Well done!
    I like how you weave your play into the story, and how that the Orc fights for his life (the brawl so he can keep living at the inn), even if he is looking for his last fight.
