The Guardians of Asgaard!!!

[drakir_nosslin]

Fengr

Stepping back from the torn and bloody remains of the fishman priest, Fengr looks first at the entrance from where the human sounds comes and then at his companions.

"If it's a prisoner it's our duty to save the poor one. I'm guessing that humans are on the meny here."

[sitandbehitski]

"As am I," Janick says. "If these creatures have any people held prisoner we should rescue them if we can."

Thrand leads the party down the hallway, peering down a branching hallway before continuing. He reaches a flimsy door, that is barred with a rusty metal rod. A small grate in the door allows vision into the room where a human man is chained to a wall, cursing against the sahaguin and attempting to break his chains with little success.

Lifting the bar and setting it aside Thrand is easily able to get the door open.

Fengr, at the branching corridor at the time can hear gathering Sahaguin voices at the other end of it.

[Gorthok]

Wulfgar Njordson

As footsteps closed in on the door, the Norseman beats upon the chain harder! He doesn't know if the travelers approaching the door are friend or foe, but he doesn't wish to find out while chained down. He swears to his deity for strength to remove the manacles from him, but alas, his prayers are unanswered. He hears an iron bar being removed from the door, and readies himself for whatever might appear.

Readies Action to throw the rock in his hand at the first thing through the door!

[Cleavon]

A rock sails by Thrands head and smashes into the wall, the man in chains obviously desperate and afraid. Thrand steps in and looks the man over, turning back to his companions.

"This rooms a dead end, but there's someone here, keep watch for the sahaguin"


Approaching Wulfgar Thrand readies his axe.

"Careful lad, I have a feeling you're not with the fishmen. Let me get at those chains."

Breakin' some chains!

Standing at the corner just before the door to the room where Wulfgar has been freed, you hear several sahaguin coming up the corridor. You can count three with your keen hearing and suspect they'll be upon you very soon.

[drakir_nosslin]

Fengr

The totemist hasn't been paying much attention to the newly freed prisoner, instead he's standing peering down the other corridor, his head slightly cocked, like a dog that hears something new. Suddenly he looks at the rest of the group.
"You better get him up and ready to fight soon, I think I hear more fishmen!"

[Gorthok]

Wulfgar Njordson

The door opens and a giant of a man steps through carrying an axe. The Norseman lets fly his rock and stupendously dents the wooden doorframe. In two steps, the huge man strode over to The Norseman and in a swift motion of his axe, removed the cursed manacles from his wrists. Relief washed over the beaten and bruised man, these were his people come to save him. He runs his hands through his once blond hair, now streaked with dirt and dried blood. His grey eyes taking in the party before him, he thanks them from the bottom of his heart!

"Thank you young adventurers! You have not come at a better time. My name is Wulfgar Njordson, son of Njord Hrothson. My homeland is to the far north in the city of Grensfel. I know I don't look much of a warrior at this moment, but fit me with a bow and a quiver of arrow, and you've seen not a more demonish figure!

Wulfgar looked to all the dirtied faces around him, as he took in a winced breath. He had forgotten about his aches and pains when his new accquintences entered his room.

"I don't know if you heard the cursed sauhaguin down the way, but I believe they are laying a trap for you all. If you wish, I will tag along and help with your quest until we leave this corrupted place. I'm a tad bit of a vocalist, and might be able to instill you boys with a little steel for your spines!"

[Gamblerjoe]

Ford

"Well then, if ye'r lookin to stick some arrows in a few o these fish men, iv got a fine bow ta do it with. Only problem is, its 'specially made fer me. Most men cant draw an arrow on it proper. Give it a pull if ya like."

Ford reaches into his handy haversack and mutters a word in orcish. He retrieves a fairly large, sturdy looking bow that is extremely recurved. He hands it to Wulfgar, then reaches into his haversack to retrieve a hand full of arrows.

Wulfgar is given a bow, and seems much more armed than his previous predicament, and Fengr is able to make out a sahaguin,the thing wielding two curved swords. As soon as it sees him it charges forward down the hallway. A second sahaguin moves up behind the first, rummaging around its pouches for something.

Fengr

"Here they come!" The totemist barely has time to shout out the warning before the sahaguin warrior is upon him. The enemy feints with one sword, fooling the warrior to step in the way of the real attack. The blade bites deep in his shoulder, forcing the links of his chain shirt into his flesh.
"For Valhall, for glory!" He shouts as he leaps forward, his blue-colored claws slashing.

Wulfgar Njordson

After his introduction, few words were minced with Wulfgar. A hardy looking man of what looked like Orcish decent stepped forward after the mention of a bow and quiver. He handed Wulfgar a large bow that he couldn't pull taunt on the draw, but would do when it came to piercing the flesh of these Sahaguin bastards.

Suddenly a gurgling roar bellows from down the hallway and the peculiar looking fellow with four arms was cut deeply by a fishman-wielded scimitar. "Looks to be no time for further words, the beasts are upon us again! We shall never waver in our following of Odin, Ruler of the Aseir! With his blessings we will finish this battle with courage and victory!!"

Janick, Ford and Thrand are able to reduce the fishman that charged Fengr into a pile of bloody scales and armor. The Cleric rushes off down the hallway, and as the party follows you burst into another larger room, more sahaguin ready there.

Beginning of a new round.

[Gorthok]

Wulfgar Njordson

The charging sahaguin was obliterated in a matter of seconds! Wulfgar knew that if these people had meant him any harm, he would be nothing more than a smear on the stone at this point.

"Wait... Don't rush in there. There are more Sahaguin and a very powerful priest of some sort further in these catacombs. ... Urrgh!" Wulfgar clutches at his chest and doubles over in pain. Anyone who looks can clearly see a dark stain on his tunic growing at a slow pace. "They're attempting to open an ancient vault in one of the last rooms. They have been trying for sometime and the... Rggh... priest or God has summoned the help of some infernal crea.. *pant* *pant*... ture. I was attempting to escape and was pierced in the chest by the daemon's barbed tail, before being locked away where hence you freed me."

Wulfgar drops to a knee to catch his breathing, then using his force of will, stands again to help his companions in the coming battle!
