[pnpgm] Dorhak

[Dorhak Red Wall]

Gods!  We face terrible danger yet these people deal with it so quickly!  Without them, certainly all would have been lost.  And almost losing the barbarian woman was bad enough.


dorhak, knowing nothing about how to fix broken humans, chooses to observe and not try to give orders.  The big elf is sure quick to respond.  At least he was successful in reviving the weird shaman.  


Dorhak first talks to his kinsman, Barbasa, after that amazing, but foolish rescue of the human sailor.  "Hah!  You foolish youth!  What you did out there in the water was crazy.  And amazing.  Perhaps we call you Barbasa Alda...Barbasa of the Waves.  Surely no other dwarf has brought honor to his House in this way!  Well done, lad!"  Dorhak claps him soundly on the back.


"All-right!  Navigator!  Resume course.  Put some distance between us and the giant.  No telling what might come looking around.  All hands on deck for work details.  If you can help with repairs, then do so.  If not, you can haul things."


"Thanks to all who helped stop that...monstrosity, whatever it was!  We have been fortunate once again."


He goes over to Z’leyra, before she rises, and puts his hand on his shoulder.  He tries to give a comforting look to the first mate but it probably just makes her nauseous.  He says "Not you.  Get some rest.  You’ve been through enough today."


later, upon hearing about the funny acrobats ridiculous challenge to the dark human woman, Unali, he considers disallowing it.  That woman is pretty scary and anyone would be wise not to mess with her.  If Kiet wants her to carve her initials in his hide there are better ways to go about it.  Still, Dorhak knows that nothing they do to each other would be permanent.  He goes to the first mate to discuss it.  Z’leyra informs him of the intent of the two, about weapons and magic use.  


Dorhak frowns upon hearing that Unali intends to use two daggers.  The challenge is an interesting one and, gods know, except for giants walking on water there really is little to break up the monotony.  He tells Z’leyra "all right then.  They can have their fun.  You will be the referee.  No armor for either of them. No magic, especially weapons.  Have Fremea or Arawn verify it!  No cheating!  Which reminds me.  You said Unali intends to use two daggers to Kiet’s one?  No.  Please inform her this is to be a fair, um, fight.  Even except for skills.  One dagger each."


he he thinks for a second and makes a slight smile.  "Besides, soon after they start she'll probably have both daggers anyway.  Heh-heh."
