Accomplishments & Achievements
Destroying The Half-Eared Goblin Tribe Of The Goblin Hills
On the 11th Day of Gold/Firesun 14242KR Grimwold Snowfoot found tracks in the earth/mud of The Goblin Hills of Amoria,of what he believed to be a Goblin Warband.The Wardens followed the tracks for several hours and as night fell campfires could be seen in the distance.The party made camp for the night in a small copse of trees,forgoing a fire as not to attract attention.From their vantage point they could make out the shapes of atleast sixty Goblins sitting or lying near and around the fires.It was decided they would keep watch over night in shifts and attack at first light surprising the Goblins. At Sunrise Aslaug led the charge with her Battleaxe 'Goblin Cleaver' hacking and slashing through the Goblins in her path,they didn't stand a chance against such a ferocious attack.Aslaug personally killed thirty of the sixty Goblins of the Tribe.Killing The Goblin Chieftain Graat In Single Combat
During the skirmish between The Wardens and The Half-Eared Goblin Tribe,Aslaug noticed a Goblin almost twice the size of the others,knowing this was probably the Chieftain she set her sights on bringing him down.Aslaug came face-to-face with the Chieftain,as they circled each other the Goblin announced himself as Chieftain Graat.Aslaug and the Chieftain fought back and forth neither gaining ground on the other,until suddenly Aslaug laughed as Graat let his guard down,she swung her axe,his head flew in the air with a gush of blood.The fight was over.Capturing The Goblin King Churmugaz Killing All 12 Of His Bodyguards
On the 7th Day of Harvest/Leafall 14242KR in the Caverns of The Frostfall Mountains on the Amorian side,The Wardens had found the Lair of The Goblin King Churmugaz of The Red Spear Tribe.The Goblin King commanded six Tribes who followed his orders to Harass Hunters,Merchant Caravans and Raid Hamlets and Farmsteads in The Goblin Hills and along its borders. Using Stealth and Druid Magic the Wardens made their way to the cavern containing The Goblin Kings Throne.Four Guards were silently dispatched by the Wood and Iron doors and the group charged into the Throne Room,Kalamina barring the doors behind them. Their were over thirty Goblins in the room,all caught off-guard at the start,with the King lounging on his rough stone,fur covered Throne.Aslaug and Grimwold headed straight for the King,Grim with his curved short sword and Aslaug with her axe.Aslaug killed twelve of the kings bodyguards,and Grim had dispatched the other eight.The Goblin King was knocked unconscious by Aslaug,taken hostage and handed over to an Amorian Lord for reward of his capture.Killing The Hill Giant Morgraath
On the 9th Day of Anvil/Storm 14245KR in The Lowlands of The Goblin Hills,Aslaug Defeated the Hill Giant Chieftain Morgraath at his steading.The Hill Giant and his Clan of Thulls and Goblin marauders had been raiding Merchant Caravans,Hamlets and Farmsteads in the region for many moons,so a reward for his capture dead or alive had been posted by local families.Destroying A Cave Troll Hideout
On the 23rd Day of Anvil/Storm 14250KR the Wardens stumbled upon a Cave Troll Hideout,hiding inside from the light of the sun was a small Clan of four Cave Trolls,three male and one female.After the battle,of which Aslaug killed two male Trolls,Grimwold,Anarr,Logray,Mardin and Brom needed rest to heal from the injuries they received.After two days of rest the hideout was looted,Aslaug and Floi had rigged the cave entrance to collapse once they left,blocking the entrance with tons of rock and earth. On the 1st Day of Rains/Water Rise Aslaug Ironbeard and Grimwold Snowfoot were married in a secret Ceremony held in a hidden Grove performed by their two friends Kalamina and Logray who were Druidic Priests.Attending the wedding were the Wardens and some friendly families of nearby Hamlets.Stopping Amorian Bandits Raiding Caravans
On the 18th Day of Forge/Arn 14254KR The Wardens came across a Merchant Caravan being attacked by Humanoid bandits.It looked bad for the merchants as many guards were lying dead or wounded near the wagon/caravans,and some of the bandits were on horseback,their looked to be about twelve of them at first glance. Their turned out to be sixteen bandits including a bandit Captain,mostly Human (Amorian) with three Half-Elves (Pelosi),none remained alive after the skirmish.Killing The Bandit Captain One-Eyed Durnan In Single Combat
Aslaug faced the bandit Captain One-Eyed Durnan in single combat after killing three bandits to reach him.The fight was not an easy one as the Captain had a height advantage and fought with longsword and dagger.Eventually Aslaug defeated the bandit Captain sweeping his legs from under him and burying her axe in his skull.The Death of Aslaug Snowfoot
On the 13th Day of Anvil/Storm 14260KR Aslaug was in the wrong place at the wrong time as a Goblin Warband came across the campsite of Aslaug,Anarr,Brom and Mardin.The Wardens didn't stand a chance against the warband of over one hundred Goblins,only Anarr survived to tell the story of how Aslaug defeated atleast twenty five Goblins before being overrun. Aslaug,Brom and Mardin were laid to rest in cairns marked with Dwarvish runes in an unknown location somewhere in The Goblin Hills.Physical Description

You give so much glory to meaningless death. Beautiful.
Thanks very much.On another day if all The Wardens were their facing that Warband,together they probably would of Won the Battle,Aslaug would not have died and maybe all the others would have survived too. What was it? Fate.....Bad Luck.....or Bad Timing,just Wrong Place,Wrong Time. Only The Gods Know The Answer...... Aemon
