Doradall Astorath, A half orc. My mother, I'm unsure. Never met her, never will. My father was an adventurer, a giant half-orc, nearly 7 feet tall and maybe 300 pounds. I'm 23 now I'm around 6'4 220 pounds. He was taught in the ways of a monk. He was completely serene in the face of danger and knew what kind of horrors lurked in the world. I'm not sure what made him become an adventurer but I do know before I was born he was a hermit, I'm assuming to find himself. Half-orcs have a tendency to have
This one was different from the others. Its figures was roughly half the size of the common Orc, but instead of the amounts of fat that could be seen clearly (too clearly) in the rest, toned and defined muscles were present. Grey skin was pigmented instead of the usual murky pink. As a sign of its prestige, it donned leather armor
They didn’t have enough time to lock in another arrow before I slashed them with my twin daggers (made of dragon teeth). The remaining orcs ran knowing full well their fate if they were to stay. As I checked for life, I saw the weapons they used. Elven weapons and Elven arrows. I screamed in fury, and as I did that, the room caught on fire, and I had to leave the bodies of the children
Onward, into the deadening mist. Braving the foreboding elements with nothing but flesh, leather and steel. He has said his prayers, and now, as always, he is ready to face his gods with sword in hand. He mused to himself “If I do not return, I will be feasting in the halls of my father’s gods, if I do return, I will be feasting on the juiciest boar that gold can buy.” In either case the glory that Steiner had always dreamed of is now his for the taking. Ever since Steiner was a young man, and
bore, so he knew he was going to have to rely on speed and skill, hoping he was the better in these regards. When the orc swung at him, it was a wide, clumsy blow, and Ktonos exploded forward, ducking under the strike, and bringing his blade up as he moved past the foe. There was a blur of motion as Ktonos whipped his blade around in a swift motion that pruned the arm off of the orc, bringing the enemy weapon out of play, and then Ktonos swung one last time, the honed edge of the sword taking his foe
Did you know that in “The Hobbit” many magical creatures like the goblins, elves, and dwarves sing songs that reveal many things about them. In this novel music plays a role in the development of the story and characters. The different creatures’ songs vary in tone, content, and structure that reveal many things about the magical creatures. First, after the dwarves or the “unexpected party” arrived they sang a song about an adventure that they would ask Bilbo to join and what it was about. The
“Goblin Market” tells the story of two devoted young sisters, Laura and Lizzie. Goblin men curse one sister after offering her special fruit, and the other sister must face the goblin men to save her sister from certain death (Rossetti 1-567). Poet Christina Rossetti employs a significant amount of symbolism in her work, “Goblin Market.” Examples of symbols used in the poem include fruit, Lizzie, goblin men, and money. First, fruit is a symbol in “Goblin Market.” At the beginning of the poem, the
In “The Goblin Market by Christina Rossetti, sisters Laura and Lizzie hear the sounds of the goblin fruit market and try to ignore the enticing calls of the goblin men it at first. However, Laura eventually allows her curiosity to get the best of her, and she goes to see what is happening against Lizzie’s warning not too. Once she gets there the goblin men off her their fruit, but she does not have any money to pay for it. The Goblin men offer to take a piece of her golden hair in exchange for the
The Dwarf Rune-King's cry of victory was cut short, literally; threw back his head and began to shout a cry of Victory! But his cry of pride turned into a scream of horror; a spear had pierced through his throat, blood gushed forth from the wound. On the king's shoulder was… It was a great goblin, he let loose that awful high-pitched screech! With a start; the observing artillery-dwarf realized that this was the same goblin that the champion of the dwarfs dueled for the mountain, he had that same
Christina Rossetti’s poem “Goblin Market” provokes vivid imagery and illustrates the cost and consequences of rash actions. The narrative poem tells of two women going about their daily lives, one woman being steadfast in denying forbidden or dangerous choices while the other willingly risks herself due to being unable to resist temptation.
