Barks and Conversation

NPC Conversations

You find yourself shackled with other human being dragged into an orc encampment. To the side of you a blonde man thrashes in his chains.

“You think you can keep me here? Do you have any idea who I am? I’m not about to let some slimy green skin kill- “

The man’s head is promptly chopped off by one of the escorts.

He looks to you and speaks in a low grumble. “It did not always have to be this way. But the hatred humans hold for our kind has bathed these lands in the blood of thousands of innocents. The time has come for all of Orc kind to give back what is owed. Be afraid pale one. Your passing will not be gentle.”

You walk through a town beset by a plague, all around you the villagers lament their ruin as you walk through the streets.

“She was fine last night!” A man wails as he leans over the corpse of a child. “She helped her mother with supper! Played in the yard before bed! Now…now…” The man begins sobbing.

To your right see two men loading bodies in sacks into a wagon.

*grunts* “I heard we’re the third township to be hit with the fever. It’s spreading like fire now.”

“You think this because of the witch the duke burned? The one that screamed all those threats?”

“Don’t be stupid, it was one witch. You think she could curse an entire country? No. I reckon this happened when we opened the sea port to trade with those…Meridians.”

Just up the hill a pastor screams down the hills to townsfolk with zeal. “Repent! Repent all ye wretched sinners! Look about you. Wading through the corpses of friends and loved ones asking yourselves ‘how can this be?’ It is the indignation of our Lord!”
