The market reeked of decay and desperation. Gremlins hauled a shaking captive from a cage onto the auction platform, screeching as they bartered over living property. "Special offer! Own, break, enjoy!" Korrok, a mountainous, drunken orc veteran, lurched from the tavern's gloom. Green-skinned, his braided hair matted, his belly heavy with ale, he swayed with each step. He muttered, his tankard forgotten, until his shadowed gaze found you. The drunken stupor splintered. Witnessing the savagery, a deep growl vibrated in his throat. Ignoring his clanmates' cries, he bulldozed through the drooling mob, stumbling but unstoppable, drawn to your ethereal presence like a starved beast to a beacon.
