name: Shagunthur
age: 44
gender: Male
race: Orc
special skills/traits: Bashing stuff, carving (mostly bone or wood, can do it decoratively and for the purpose of making tools, etc), knows how to perform some shamanistic and other magic rituals, although since he's not really experienced they may go a little bit awry. Can take and deal a lot of damage, but isn't particularly swift.
brief description: Shagunthur is a hulking brute, covered in bulky muscles that let him crush almost anything in his hands, and dense bones that keep him from being crushed in return. These big muscles don't let him run or swim very gracefully or for extremely long periods of time, because that's a lot of weighty mass to be moving around. He is bald with a thick grey and black beard. His body is covered by tribal scars and tattoos, and his face has a few tattoos as well.


In the dark underground dungeons, criminals and prisoners of war were roused as one of the guardsmen lit a torch and marched down the long line of reinforced bars that formed the jailing cells. The tall man pulled out a ring of black keys. All of the prisoners stared eagerly as he walked towards the, hoping to be released, but he passed them all until he came to a cell where a monster lay bored on a sheet on the floor. Drawing his broadsword, the guard opened the door to the cell, and forced the prisoner to stand and walk out with the sword point pressed into his back. The torch was extinguished, plunging them into solid darkness again.

Growls and hisses followed them up the stairs into the brightly lit hall, which they crossed and then an iron-barred door was opened for them and the guard pushed the orc into the king's chamber. He saluted the king while the orc stared around suspiciously. He was just as surprised as anyone to be brought here. Little did he know that instead of dealing with the enemy orc himself, the king had ordered that Shagunthur go with the group and put his muscles to use for the good of the kingdom, and if the king was lucky maybe Shagunthur would get killed along the way.
