The Raging Leviathan
Added Thu Mar 8 07:47:25 2007 at level 11:
Kubilak was born huge. Huge even for an orc. Ironically, the fate
played a bad joke with him. His enormous strength and size which
could make him a natural leader among his kin were noted by a drow
slaver who immediately proposed a handsome price to his mother. And
so he was sold in the age of 5 for 2 gold coins, rusty axe, and a couple
of shiny necklaces. Needless to say that slave masters of Aran'gird
arenas paid a way more to his new drow master, and so everyone were
happy with the deal. Everyone but him, naturally.
For a number of years he was used as gladiator in the pit fights.
Everything to entertain the public, no mercy for the weak. Felars,
drows, duergars; wolves, spiders, lions; alone and in groups; armed and
not; with the blindfold and in chains ... He fought so many things ...
And, surprisingly, he still managed to survive. Each his victory he was
'celebrating' with a tiny scar on his right biceps.
Among the fans of pit fights he was known as Raging Leviathan. But
the stronger he became the more powerful foes he had to face. And the
day has come when he realized that sooner or later they will be tired of
him winning, and he will have to fight something that he won't be able
to defeat. And that day he broke his cage, slew the guards in cold
blood, and escaped to the caves of Underdark. His vicious reputation
appeared to be a real asset, as noone was too eager to follow and bring
him back.
Using his instincts rather then his intelligence, he managed to find the
way to the surface. And the way to his village. The first thing he did
was finding his mother and celebrating the return with her meat as a
first meal. Now he has a hut among the barbarians of the Grinning
Skull and looking to become the Chief one day.

The orcish camp.
Kubilak is sitting near a huge fire made of the whole oak trunk. He is
sharpening an enormous axe made of black iron, spitting and muttering
something under his nose. Picked bones and dirty guts of some
humanoid being are scattered on the ground. Half-empty bloody skin is
by him, and he is sipping some elvish blood from it time after time.
Orcish slave is sitting on the ground not far from his master, chewing
some bone.
Kubilak is obviously in relatively good mood, and so he is talking.
