These days I often ponder the strangeness of chance. I once heard a man in Middenheim, orating to the assembled crowd from atop a turnip-box who promulgated that the gods do not love us at all, but merely play with us as a child with it's toys. He proclaimed they engineer our misfortune and plot our sorrows for their own amusement.
The crowd were not kind to him, sending him on his way, pelted with his own turnips. At the time I merely smirked as his words or troubles meant little to me, but now i consider mayhaps he spoke some sliver of truth, as surely my predicament couldst not be the result of chance alone, but mayeth only be explained as the cruel amusement of some twisted power?
You've got a knack for storytelling. I love your use of this side story to set the tone. Really awesome.
It's also cool to see all your side games worked into the account. I hope you saved some lizard meat for for trading.

But barely did I get the change to lay my gaze upon these wondrous creatures before the Ogre horde charge'd, a destructive avalanche of flesh, scattering all before them. My captors did sup well that night, and forgiveth me Sigmar, so did I....
To my surprise the tender meat was not unlike chicken...[/i]
Eating Lizardmen meat, how abominable
This insult will have to be avenged
Preferrably from a distance.

It just so happens that Elarelle has similarly developed the rather distasteful practice of eating her prey. It's like a new club and you're not cool if you're not in

We Lizardmen are more civilized than Ogres or Wood Elves and will not be partaking of any enemy flesh that we defeat. We will instead rip out the living heart of any foes that we capture during our traditional festivals. We are very cultural.

Just recently happened upon this thread!
Yellowstreak, this is high quality work! If you are not already an author, and if you have not published any of your writing beyond the realm of NagoyaHammer so far, I suggest you should.
Such talent is rare and should be shared with the world

Thanks for the praise! Not an author, although my mother is a journalist and an author (as was her father - my grandfather).
I'd write more, but I've got all these #$^&@ miniatures to paint!
