Kragga eyes the spikes dubiously. "Not looking to get myself impaled on those bad boys. Maybe somebody in town knows a better way in?"

Kragga curls her lip and gives a soft growl.
As the other split up, Kragga tries to find out about the Gorumites in town.
Fine with pushing forward to reach Iron Harbor by nightfall.
Kragga shrugs. ”Okay, I’ll wait till somebody gets shot next time.”
”They pointed a weapon at us. I struck first,” Kragga says nonchalantly. ”Besides, they’re not dead. They’re just mostly dead.”
Flying into a rage, Kragga charges past the centipedes and slices laterally at the humanoid with her enormous sword!
”Up there. Let’s check it out,” Kragga says, starting up the slope.
Kragga sheathes her sword and takes a running leap, but doesn't quite make the distance! Like Krachton, she catches herself on the edge, then struggles a bit before hauling herself up. The orc grunts before drawing her weapon again.
Kragga’s fury is short lived. She grunts and shakes the gore off of her weapon. ”Bah. That was barely worth the effort.” She prods the dead reefclaw with her boot.
Kragga flies into a rage as she charges the reefclaw, bringing her huge sword down on it!
Kragga draws her huge sword and looks around to see if any creatures might be lying in wait.
If she doesn't see anything, she will cautiously approach the rowboat.
Kragga stands with her arms crossed over her chest. Her spiked iron armor is buffed and polished, and her big sword is securely fastened to her back. "Let's go," she says.
”I’m in. Maybe there will be fighting. That will be fun,” Kragga says with a savage grin. ”With a town full of Gorumites, there had better be fighting!”
"I think he's dead," Kragga observes bluntly. She draws her oversized sword and pokes the dead man with the hilt. "Yep. He's dead."
"Took it from an ogre," Kragga says with a smirk. She doesn't elaborate further.
Kragga eyes the grayish dwarf speaking to her. After a moment's judgment, she clinks her own glass against his mug. "Cheers. Yes, Kragga. Nice suit."
A hulking orc woman enters the bar. Standing nearly seven feet tall, it is hard to miss her. Her muscles ripple under her steel breastplate, and a greatsword almost as big as her is strapped to her back. Kragga, Osprey Cove’s lone orc resident, is a sight to behold. Several patrons scurry out of her way, worried that she’s come to start another brawl. Lucky for them, she isn’t interested in violence. Yet. She sits at the bar and raises a hand. ”Mulled ale. Pure,” she states. Her eyes scan the room, as if daring somebody to fight her over her order.

Kragga is ready for mayhem!!!
"It's just a scratch," Kragga attests, though she sports some pretty nasty-looking bruises. "Definitely had worse. We should rest a bit, then keep going."
Kragga staggers back up the stairs to a safe room and sits heavily on the floor as Bella tends to her. When the halfling mentions scars, the orc grins. "Good. Scars build character." Eventually, the magus is back at full fighting strength. "So, what now?"
Kragga momentarily transform her sword into force, scouring the monster's flesh. She then channels fire into the sword and strikes again!
Kragga weathers the sonic blast with only mild discomfort. "Let's do it!" she growls to Bella. Casting a spell, the orc blinks across the distance to strike the monster! She then drops into her arcane cascade stance.
Kragga avoids getting grabbed by the mimic. She catches her sword as Bertolt tosses it to her, then enters her arcane cascade stance and swings her electrified weapon at the mimic again!
Kragga steps up to the creature and delivers an electrically charged sword slash!
"Meh. I've had worse before," Kragga says gruffly, her teeth marks festooning her body. She sits heavily on the floor and offers thanks to Bella as the halfling works studiously to patch her up. She waits for the others to make a decision on how to proceed.
Zetty hurls her dagger into the nearest monster's eye, badly wounding it! Both creatures avoid the worst of Vengis's lightning arc. Eyenia blesses the party, then Bella tumbles into the room. Her attack falls short, but it sets up a flank for Bertolt. The dwarf takes advantage, bashing the rubbery monster twice, his shield scoring a critical hit! However, the creature's bouncy body resists some of the bludgeoning damage. Kragga casts one of her new spells, propelling herself through the fabric of space to appear next to the wounded creature. She swings her sword, empowered by the force of her spell, and lands a critical hit!
The monster explodes, showering those nearby with stinky goop. Luckily, it is not acidic. The orc smirks and enters her arcane cascade stance. The surviving monster leaps at Kragga, snapping its jaws!
Enemy Status: Orange -5
Kragga resists the acidic splatter with no issues. She thanks Bella for tending to her claw wound, then moves to stand in front of the door that Zetty indicated. "This one?" she asks, looking over her shoulder questioningly at the rest of the group.
Kragga pursues Volluk and swings her sword in another powerful arc, finally managing to hit!
Kragga enters her arcane cascade stance and swings her sword at Volluk, but her attack misses!
Kragga moves in to attack Volluk, channeling fire into her sword, but she misses with wild swing!
"Nice to have somebody up front, taking the hits beside me," Kragga says, the orc towering over the smaller dwarf. She offers a firm handshake. "Alright, we good to go? Which way next?"
Luckily, Kragga resists the monster's gaze. She spikes it with force again, but can't manage to land a good hit with her regular attacks!
"No!" Kragga roars angrily as Bella is turned to stone! The magus uses a swift spell to turn her sword into a spike of pure force that batters the reptile.
She then tries once more to electrify her blade and strike the beast!
Kragga channels magic into her sword, causing it to spark with electricity. She tries to hit the reptile, but luck is not on her side! Growling with frustration, the orc enters her arcane cascade stance.
Kragga roars in rage as blood drips from her wounds. She grits her teeth against the pain as she steps to flank Carman with the papercrafted gremlin. She chants a spell as she focuses magic into her blade, causing it to crackle with electricity. Then she strikes!
Bella's ministrations alleviate some of the pain from the hammer strikes, but none of Kragga's anger. The orc howls as she rushes at Carman, bringing her sword down in a thunderous strike! Though she misses, a wave of sonic vibrations emanate from her sword, and the magus draws the power inward to enter her arcane cascade strike.
Kragga moves around to flank the second shadow with Bella. She delivers a powerful slice!
Zetty and Vengis batter the shadow with hurled projectiles, and with a hiss, it evaporates into nothingness!
Kragga growls with fury as the shadow attacks her. Fortunately, as a grave orc, she is resistant to the negative energy. The magus casts shield, enters her arcane cascade stance, and slashes at her assailant!
Bella's search of the sarcophagi doesn't turn up anything valuable. Kragga grunts her thanks as the halfling patches her up. "It's not too bad. I can keep going if you all want to do so."
Kragga moves behind the wight to set up a flanking position for Bella. She grips her greatsword as she makes a powerful attack!
Kragga snarls as the sword slices her, but she resists the draining effects. The orc casts a shield spell, then enters into her arcane cascade stance before swinging her sword at her assailant!
”I’ll do it,” Kragga says. The orc clambers into the rusty chute and hauls herself up and away.
After a few minutes, she returns. ”There’s a trash disposal room at the top. It doesn’t look like anybody has used it in a while. A door there opens into some weird dining room with skeletons sitting at the table. I just looked into it and closed the door. I didn’t want to go too far on my own.”
Kragga stands a bit straighter after Bella's healing. She draws power from her weapon, gaining a bit of extra toughness, then she roars a challenge and swings her sword in a powerful arc at the wisp! Unfortunately, she misses her target, as does her follow-up swing.
Kragga roars in anger as the skull-ball shocks her. She channels fiery magic into her blade and swings at it.
While the creature dodges her strike, she channels the arcane energy as she enters her arcane cascade stance, flames limning the length of her sword.
Kragga smirks at Vengis's compliment, displaying her tusks. "Sure. Not that far, though. I'd rather not get wet." And with that, the orc gathers the rest of you in her arms, gets a running start, and leaps across the water! She lands on the far side and sets you back down again. "This way."
”I’m not afraid. I eat ghouls for breakfast.” Kragga brags. ”Figuratively, not literally. Anyway, I’m from the Deadwatcher Clan. We make it our purpose to oppose any powerful undead that threaten the world. Got wind of the rumblings beneath this town, so I came to check it out. Now, I’m ready to send these ghouls and ghosts to the Boneyard where they belong!”
It isn't hard to find pick Kragga out among the crowd at the Otari Market. At nearly seven feet tall, the orc towers over all of the other customers! They give her a wide berth as she browses the wares on display at the various stalls. She is muscular and hale, wearing patchwork breastplate armor and with a greatsword strapped to her back. A tome of stitched together leathery pages hangs at her belt. When she spots you approaching, she gives a tusked sneer, her red eyes glinting eagerly. "Heard about you lot. You the ones exploring the dungeon under that lighthouse, yeah? Name's Kragga. You need some muscle in your group, I'm your orc."
Kragga was there for the birth of each and every one of Elizabeth's and Melissa's children. The orc's skills as a healer and midwife helped ensure each delivery was free of pain or complications. Each time one of the women swore that it would be her last child, the priestess smiled knowingly but refrained from comment. Kragga had long ago confronted Grimfang and the gothi who pursued her, calling upon the World Mother's might to smite them once and for all. She was finally free to settle down in the life she had made for herself, as the chieftain and blessed mother of the enclave of free orcs within the city of Gateway. And of course, 'mother' was more than just an honorific title, as the fertility goddess saw fit to ensure Kragga had quite the brood, indeed. Rare it was to see the priestess without a swollen belly, and soon dozens of children filled the home she shared with her husband, Deathripper. Orcs ventured from across the lands of Rul to bow before her and receive her blessings. Under the yoke of the Empire, the lives of orcs were nasty, brutish, and short, but Kragga taught a new way to live peacefully among the other people of the world. Soon enough, the orcs would flourish as they found new roles as valuable members of society. And it was Kragga who had blazed the trail for them...
