COINNEACH

Friends

• The rain came down that night making it easy to sneak up on the tax collector. Coinneach had scene the whole thing, the tax collector knocking on the door, the old gnome saying he couldn't pay and the beating from the thugs that came after. Something in Coinneach stirred inside him like a raging beast he now sprung from behind them beating down the first thug and striking the second one hard enough that he didn't get up. The tax collector ran, but not fast enough. Coinneach was on him and beat the tax collector till the rain could no longer wash away the blood. The gnome was scared but stirred Coinneach with a tug on the shirt, he almost lashed out and hit the gnome but caught himself. He now saw the torches a sign that the guards were coming and he followed the gnome quickly inside. It was a small room built more for the comfort of a gnome than that of a large barbarian. The gnome pulled back the large center carpet to reveil a few loose floorboards. Coinneach helped pull them up and dropped into the hole inside. The gnome shut him in and he began to think that perhaps this gnome would just turn him in. Gnomes were known to side with the Orc. He heard the guards enter into the Gnomes house and heard the breaking of furniture and was about to pop through the floor and make a run for it when a small hand grabbed him. He had not seen the female nor her two children when he first came down but now that his eyes had adjusted to the light. They all lay quiet for what seamed like hours. Then the gnome opened a floor board. The gnome looked as if the Orc had roughed him up and the room was full of smashed and broken things. Thank you, Coinneach said in Orc to the gnome. I thank you, replied the gnome My name is Fizzlecog and you saved me and my family from a life of slavery. I am Coinneach and the Orc will not forget this. I recommend you move and quickly. The gnome children looked scared and their mother tried to comfort them. We will get by said Fizzlecog but for now lets eat. Coinneach shook his head I must move on he said for the hour is late and I have far to go. The mother handed him a loaf of bread, please take it for the road then. Coinneach nodded and took the loaf and made his way out into the darkness.
• The Elf who I hid in my room when the guards came
• There it was the Welcome Wench a tavern known to sell anything and everything for a price. Coinneach figured he could not get passed the army without help and he had heard that Sam the bartender was sympathetic to the Dorn. He sat in the corner and watched people come and go, buying this and that. There were several barkeeps and Coinneach wasn't sure which one was Sam so he waited. Sam he heard a man call, a lovely golden haired woman turned around and started talking to him. A woman Coinneach thought, A woman has outsmarted all the Orc patrols and figured out a way to move about without being noticed.

Upon the side of the mountain Coinneach battled the Orc who would enslave his people. His weapon was broken but all he needed was his hands to crush this Orc. He wrestled the fiend in the snow and beat the Orcs face bloody. But this Orc would not go down so easy, he drew a blade concealed and plunged it into Coinneach's back. This was the turning point as the Orc took up the offensive and kicked the Dorn from the icy cliff but Coinneach held on taking the Orc with him.
