Storm Brand Swamp Ranger
Dench Ravencall (a.k.a. Teeth)
To call the half orc thin is to understate it, he was positively gaunt, skeletal, yet he looked young.
The pair of short swords in his hands looked more like daggers, but the death glare he was giving could unnerve anyone. The pretty gnome woman with him smiled as she spoke.
"My Friend Dench, here, wants to take you in dead, I don't need such a thing, give up now or he attacks,".
The Two Humans looked at her as if she was joking, then one stepped forward drawing his sword. With a Growl the half orc leapt and brought his two swords down either side of his targets neck, severing the bones of the shoulders before the human even realized he was dead.
The second human only saw the movement as the half orc flipped over his comrade's shoulders, he didn't even get his shield into position before Dench's swords opened his chest. The Gnome sighed.
"Collect their heads if you would Dench, then do what you want with the rest,". Dench smiled and severed the heads with a practiced move of slicing with both blades.
"As you want. You don't want to try some of my stew tonight, 'relda?"
"Dench, no offense but being with you on these missions just affirms my Vegetarian stance," Dench laughed and then took choice cuts of meat from the two humans. He remembered what she had said the first time she had seen him do this "Why are you eating people?" his reply was inspired, "If the Gods had not meant us to eat people, why did they make them of meat?"
Any Meat is good meat in a swamp, which is where he grew up, but these days it was more for show, he seldom needed to eat People meat, but he collected it, and jerked it when he had time.
