《Thog: The barbarian》Chapter 3
Advertisement
Thog followed behind Tracy for a bit, usually Thog took the lead wherever they went, but Thog was preoccupied by his "Pets". Soon they arrived at a rather old inn, the inn was not in the best of shape, but it was the only one Thog was aloud in at the moment.
As they stepped inside, a short man, with a long white beard greeted the two with a big grin.
"By the blasted hells, Tracy and Thog! How blood sodding hells are you!" -Bearded short man
"Very well, it is nice to see you McLaughlin, I see our time away has not cured you of your cursed tongue." -Tracy
Tracy smiles at McLaughlin, the dwarf had a foul mouth, but was quite good company... Or at least the better of the company he had received of late.
"Ai, why don't you two gobshiets come in for a spell.... Or should I make that four?" -McLaughlin
The dwarf looks at Thog, who is hugging, and nuzzling the two frightened goblings. It would not be the first time Thog had brought some of his "Pets" into the inn, but as it wasn't rotting, bigger then the inn, or hideous enough to disembowel a man, he did not see a problem with it... This time.
"Thog found babies! Thog names this one Hobgob, and this one Gobgob!" -Thog
Thog showed off his new "Pets" to the dwarf, grinning hard enough one would not be surprised if his face cracked.
"Ai, quite an impressive haul ye got there lad!" -McLaughlin
Thog was all smiles once more, Tracy however could only sigh once more.
"If it would be alright, would you mind if I...." -Tracy
Just then, two smug looking men, barged in, nearly busting the door. They tried to push past Tracy and Thog. Tracy moved quickly out of the way, however Thog did not budge a singly centimeter.

"You big oaf! Move out of my way at once, before I have you, and this entire filthy establishment torn to the ground!" -Noisy human
The inn went quiet. RELY quiet, and a thick fog of fear swept over the inn. The regulars snuck out the back, and those new to the bar hurried into a corner, or under a table. Half the fear came from the newcomers who know of the human that barged into the inn, he was the son of the regent of the city, who often caused trouble and regularly had people killed. The other half was left behind from the regulars that knew what happened when Thog got angry.
Thog did not bother to look at what was screaming at him and continued to nuzzle the goblins in turn, which only furthered to anger the noble further.
"Look at me when I am talking to you, brute!" -Noble
Just then, Tracy paled and walked up to the noble, and bowed.
"Please don't let his manners offend you, right now Thog is preoccupied with his new pets, and probably doesn't notice you." -Tracy
The noble's guards paled. They had heard of Thog before, he had dragged many dragons, liche's, behemoths, and even a balor though town. Once a guard got brave enough to try and scold him about bringing a dangerous dragon into town, Thog simply looked sad, said "I guess Thog can't keep you here, Thog sorry" And tossed the dragon, by its tail, out of the city, and possibly even out of the country. They shivered when they thought of what would happen if he got angry.
"My... My lord, it may perhaps... Not be the best idea to antagonize this man..." -Noble's guard
"You dare tell me what to do! Humph, I will show this brute what happens when ignore a proud noble!" -Snobbish idiot noble

He approached Thog from the front, and smacked a goblin out of his hand.
"Let me tell you this Brute....." -Soon to be injured noble
Tracy grabbed the guards, and pulled them outside as quickly as he could, after all they did not do anything to deserve what was about to happen. The dwarf ran after them.
"I am going to owe you a lot, after this. Aren't I...." -Tracy
"Nah, I still have a few buildings left to use as an inn. Besides if he didn't do it, I would." -McLaughlin
Just then, the buildings all around shook, The earth cracked a bit, Windows shattered into a million pieces, a flood of running people out of the inn, and a massive roar the likes the nine hells themselves would run from surfaced.
"YOU HURT GOBGOB!" -Thog
Just then a rather battered noble, flew through a wall, into the arms of a quite frightened guard. The guard checked, and thankfully the noble was not dead, just... A bit broken.
"Huh, the city is quite a bit less... Broken as usual. Perhaps the sod eating drakshit is learning to hold back a little." -McLaughlin
The dwarf lets out a loud, merry laugh.
Tracy sighed, as if to expel his soul right out his mouth.
"Its a shame, this is him holding back.... Should we assess the damage?" -Tracy
"Lets!" -McLaughlin
The dwarf was all grins

Casa do Diaño: The Fool
As Thomas Hobbes once said, "Humans are driven by a perpetual and restless desire for power." Given the heavily moral standards society has placed on its inhabitants for centuries, it's no wonder many people deny their internal need to be in control of something. "Oh, we do not want to rule the world at all! We just want to live happy and die happy!" Of course, the irony there is that, by wanting a happy future, you are actually projecting your own desires and opinions into what the world should be like. Hence your inner monarch banging his/her scepter for all their subjects to hear. Though to be fair, this is a pretty small, small example. Why settle for small? Why not go the extra mile and become that vicious monarch pounding his scepter at his feet? This is the story of a young man by the name of Genghis Dillinger Boy. There are quite a few words that can describe Genghis. Anarchist. Libertine. Criminal. Psychopath. He has denied the moral standards society has set for him and constantly lives his life seeking more and more power. Once an unexpected turn occurs in his life, he uses it as an excuse to burn his bridges and move him and his bride to a mysterious island known as Casa do Diaño. Genghis vows to burn the old world to the ground and watch as his brand new world arises from the ashes. But what if he's biting off more than he can chew? After all, monsters like Genghis are not the only kind of monsters lurking in the House of the Devil...
