Aerik holds his tongue, Desperate people will do whatever it takes to survive.

Aerik awoke the next morning refreshed and ready to face the new day. He found pike as he sent a servant to find Wrognir, "Good idea best we talk to Wrongir first."
When they got close to the Dawnfort Aerik returned to his human form. At Alfhilds offer Aerik responded, "Tell Wrogngir we got the cattle and some information on the Freed."
Aerik, still in wolf form, will guard the rear as they head back.
Happy Thanksgiving to those in the USA. Everyone else Happy Thursday!
Aerik stays in wolf form and take a place on the ridge watching over his companions as they question the Freed.
The wolf Aerik snaps at the man as he retrieved his weapon.
He chased after the man and sunk his teeth into his shoulder.
The wolf rushed up to the closest Freed and lunged at the man's throat.
Now worries, a lot of that going around.
The wolf moved quickly up to Pikes side his teeth bared as he lets out a deep primal growl.
Aerik wags his tail at Mother's plan. He lunges forward toward the hill, his paws barely touch the ground, as he easily keeps pace with his companions.
Aerik dismounts and ties his horse to a nearby tree, "We're close now." He looked at his companions for a second as if considering something, he shrugged his shoulders and speaks, "No one get alarmed but I am going to transform into a wolf. I be in total control and will understand everything you say but will not be able to communicate with you." with that warning his body begins to transform in to that of a medium sized wolf.
Aerik quickly remounts after the woman is tended to, "Quickly now."
Aerik examines the ground and looks at the tracks the freed left. "We should hurry if we want to catch them."
Aerik saddled his mount as he said, "We sould be able to catch up with them." Looking to Mother Perish he adds, "Don't dawdle Mother."
Aerik addresses the acerbic Mother Perish, "Now or later we will eventually have to deal with these thieves Mother." He turns to Wrongir, "How far away is the Gready farm and how long ago did this happen?" While he gets the answers to his questions he quickly follows with, "Waht are the number of Freed involved in this raid?"
Aerik looked to his companions and said, "Looks like trouble." He begins heading in Wrongir's direction.
Aerik Moved among the warriors during the inspection. He takes time to talk to them and find out their concerns.
"Might as well,"Aerik agrees.
"Not for me, I think I'll just get some rest,"Aerik responds.
Aerik examines the weapon surprised at the noticeable difference. He hefts it and checks its balance and thinks, Perfect. "Many thanks, Orm's blood runs strong in your veins."
In between mouthfuls of stew Aerik points to a plain spear leaning against the wall, in the corner. "That be me spear nothing special about it, except in the right hands it kill things, just like every other spear I've come across."
While Alfhid and Mother Perrish head for the kitchen Aerik hurriedly washes the grime of the road off his body. Refreshed he takes a seat and begins to enjoy the steaming stew. In between bites he tries to make small talk, "Torag, do you think you could put some of those runes you spoke about on my weapons?"
Aerik listens to the commanders advice in silence and nods his head in agreement. "tis a good plan and well thought out," He finally agrees.
With a predatory gaze Aerik looks down at the Dawnfort and is filled with pride at his people's success at protecting their lands. With a weary sigh he whispers into his horses ear, "We're home girl." At least for a little while, he reminds himself. As they continue toward the fort he can't help but remember Ingmar and Ingrid's parting words to him, Aerik, we put our people's trust in you. You are a warrior and Hunter of great renown, now we task you with hunting the enemies of the Valley people. May the spirit Rurik guide you and strengthen your arm. With a grim smile he makes his way forward with his new found companions.
Relationship with others - Just met them at the last gathering. Also, added a line or two to his backstory as to why he was chosen. If you want more let me know. Backstory: The Valley of Heroes are hard and unforgiving lands that have produced hard and self-reliant people. Aerik Rurikson is one such product.
Aerik was born in the upper valley close to the pig farm currently known as the Dawnfort. He arrived in this world during a winter storm, on the longest night of the year. It is said that Aerik was born covered in hair and that you could hear a great tumult of animal cries as he left the womb. Regardless of the circumstances of his birth Aerik grew into a young man with an aptitude with animals. Aerik spent much of his childhood wishing he was bigger and much of the last five years wishing he was better. Hard time and steady work on the family’s ramshackle farm helped with Aerik’s youthful desire to be bigger and his steadfast determination helped with the latter. Do to the unnatural turn of events Aerik has spent the last five years with a spear in his hand as he has helped patrol the palisades and cairn lines of his families lands. (As his shape changing abilities develope some will attribute this to the rumored dark rites alleged against his people). At the last gathering Aerik was selected by his house to be a member of the vanguard for the reclamation of House Gisli's lands. He was chosen by Ingmar and Ingrid for his woodcraft, cunning, skill at arms, and his ability to change his shape into a beast of the forest. Now he travels to the Dawn Fort with three relative strangers.
Crunch done (in the alias). I went with the wolf domain and not the wolf companion. Will have the rest done shortly. GM Arkwright, I do have a question does the primal warrior use the ranger or druid spell list or both like a hunter?
Thanks for the selection, I'll get the working on the character sheet. I'll read the others backgrounds and look for possible connections. |
