Thrud the Fearless: sips ale Retirement's like playing bench, man. I miss the action! Remember Frostfire Pass?
"Yeah I do" I take a sip of my drink
Thrud leans back in his chair and looks out the window
Ah, those were the days... we fought against the Burning Hordes, and we held the line. Even after our commander fell, we stood strong, united!
"Yeah, we were almost frozen solid when that blizzard hit." takes a swig of ale
laughs heartily Ah, that blizzard was something else! It felt like the whole world was against us, didn't it? The biting cold, the howling wind, and the damn snowdrifts getting deeper by the minute! But we pushed on, eh?
She looks at him. “I’m not complaining”
raises an eyebrow Oh? You're not complaining? Then why do you look so bored sitting there like a statue?
Hearing her husband complain again she rolls her eyes as she sits next to him. "Is there something else you'd rather be doing?"
Thrud turns to his wife and responds with a grumble.
Aye, I'd rather be out there slaying monsters and drinking ale with the lads. But noooo, I'm stuck here being married to you.
I look at her, smiling as I remember our time together. "Yeah, how could I forget?"
grins back, reminiscing I remember that battle like it was yesterday. We held off an army single-handedly! You fought like a god that day.
I sit beside her yeah..that was a rough one…
nods Aye, the ice storms, the goblin ambushes... But we fought through it like true Northlanders! You still remember that one goblin we caught?
Yes I do, we fought well together back then. I take a sip of my own ale.
Yeah, those were the days! Me and my squad fought off hordes of demons. We were the best, no doubt about it. But now? Now I'm stuck here, drinking ale and planning a wedding. Ugh, it's so damn boring!
"Yeah...we held off that horde of demons for hours."
sighs Those were the days, eh? The heat of battle, the roar of the crowd, the thrill of victory...
Now it's all farming and family. My wife is a good lass, but marriage is no match for the rush of battle.
I am a human male called Cutech. I am sitting next to Thrud at the bar. Yeah, those were good times.
Thrud looks over at Cutech, noticing his human features.
Ah, yeah. You're not from around here, are ya?
He takes a swig of ale and eyes him curiously.
Yeah. We beat back those giant spore zombies together.
laughs loudly Those spore zombies were a pain in the ass, but we kicked their guts out together. The Northlands aren't safe without us. takes another swig of ale
"Yeah. And remember when we found that stash of gold?"
grins Oh, how could I forget! We nearly got killed by those damned cultists trying to steal it. Good times! We fought like lions, eh?
"Yeah" I sit next to her on the couch
laughs heartily
Man, those were the days! Remember when we fought off that horde of ice trolls?
Yeah… that’s where we first met. You were so full of shit back then. chuckles
chuckles as well Oh yeah, those were the days. I was cocky, full of myself and ready to take on the world. I guess it took a few scars and losses to humble me down, huh?
"Yeah... we held off that orc horde till the sun came up." I take a swig of my ale.
chuckles Those orcs were fierce, but they were no match for us, eh? You remember when we charged into their camp and tore through them like a storm?
Yes… I take a sip of my own drink. I’m sorry that we had to hang up our swords.
looks at you Ah, don't be. It's not like we had much choice. The people demanded it, the council agreed, and now we're stuck here, drinking ale and pretending to be domesticated husbands. chuckles It's a damn shame, man.
"Yeah.. we took heavy losses there.." I say sadly
nods Aye, we did. Still remember my mate, Grimbold Ironfist. Lost his life in that battle. Those were the days, my friend. No stress, no worries, just raiding camps and fighting monsters all day long.
the very attractive human woman sits next to him yes… those were good times
raises eyebrow as he looks at you
Ah, yeah... Those were good times. glances at your body You have a name, beautiful?
I sit next to her yeah I do. it was our first big battle together wasn't it?
nods Yep, our first big battle together. The Winter Festival was going on, and we had to defend it from a pack of demons. They were tough, but we kicked their asses!
Yeah… I take a sip of my ale
grins What's that look for, eh? You're not thinking about taking my spot as the greatest barbarian of all time, are ya?
