The Dismal Swamp - Seaway to The Outlands
On the very edge of a massive landmass sits an area known as The Dismal Swamp. Dark and shrouded in mist, the coastal marshy wetlands are cut with canals that extend inland. Not very far inland, the soft squishy soil of the marsh quickly turns into thick, black, sticky muck, which in turn begins to take on a rotten stench. The veritable spider's web of canals and narrow waterways coalesce at one central point; a dark, smelly, tar and mud-filled hole that gave The Dismal Swamp its name. Through this collection of turbid swamp and murky waterways is one of the only water routes into The Outlands.
The Dismal Swamp is currently the home of The Splitkull Tribe, a mob of the Greentide race of beings. |

Somewhere between the spindly, narrow waterways that led inland from the ocean and the mud and waste filled hole that was the Splitkull's swamp, a small detachment of Splitkull boys were gathered. Their activity for the greatest part of the day had been digging a deep hole in the wet, squishy soil of the marsh. Scattered around were extra plates of thick metal, sharp spikes, rope, and other primitive tools.
The fight and loot from the tribe's battle in support of the Axetooth rebels had began to usher in a new age for the Splitkull. They were now clad in mud-covered ill-fitting armor, and carried weapons made of actual metal! This was not all. The influx of raw material had set in motion the inventive and resourceful minds of some of the boys, and they'd begun to use their loot in ways one might not immediately think of.
The boys had fanned out from the hole they'd dug, and it seemed as if they might have gotten bored and wandered away until a screeching could be heard from only a few dozen meters from the hole. It was the grunting, wailing scream of one of the few animals hearty enough to live in the swamp; a vicious boar-like animal the Splitkulls had affectionately dubbed 'gruntas'.
In just a few short moments, the boar came tearing out of the trees near the hole with the Splitkull boy in hot pursuit behind it, all the while letting out its ear-piercing wail as the boy shouted and cursed behind it. The grunta, not seeing the hole, was chased right into the trap, and tumbled to the bottom. The boy, without missing a beat, grabbed up several of the thick armor plates, and jumped into the hole with the trapped beast.
The two, the Ork and the boar, fought. Tumbling, screaming, biting, and clawing were the order of the day as the Ork wrestled the beast, both immediately bloodied and battered. |

hearing the sound of screaming animals allong with the curses and hollers of humanoids, Nnix emits a series of low dull clicks and the canoe beneath her "drifts" at an increased pace, this time in the direction of the noise .
as the boat drifts into the clearing Nnix keeps a keen view of the situation from above.

After several long minutes of screaming hand-to-hand combat with a crazed board, a hand emerged from the pit to grab hold of a nearby root. The Splitkull boy pulled himself and the heavy grunta up out of the hole, both a bloody wreck from the ordeal. The pig now had thick, heavy, crudely fashioned plates affixed to its shoulders, head, haunches, and flanks. The boy also appeared to have pulled its tusks off and replaced them with jagged metal spikes stabbed directly into the grunta's hard jaw.
The pig immediately began thrashing as the boy sat on its back, holding on to it for dear life. The wild animal bucked, wailed, and grunted, trying anything it could to throw, and probably then kill, its rider.
"I GOTZ ME ONE BOYZ!" the Ork shouted triumphantly as he held a hunk of the pig's nape.

Nnix produces a snack as she watches the display. when Nnix thinks snack she of course thinks roasted trilobite soaked in liquified fermented poison dart frog and whatever els she can find that will get her higher than the tree shes relaxing in. Nnix is content to simply watch until this group can lead her somewhere with supplies.

The grunta bucked, squealed, and screeched, until suddenly all at once it charged aimlessly. The Ork on the violent beast's back held on tight to a bit of homemade rope that fell across the boar's shoulders. The Ork and the beast charged headlong together, the grunta bashing into and bouncing off of trees in the densely wooded swamp. Its wide cloven hooves threw large clumps of the soft mud that made up this part of the swamp, leaving divots in the animal's path. "YOU UGLY GIT! GO BACK!" the Splitkull boy screamed belligerently at his new mount, but of course the boar would charge on. The animal dug in and pushed itself harder, finally coming to a stop by squarely hitting a rather stout tree; the tree Nnix happened to be using as a perch. The boar slammed headlong into the tree, letting out a guttural howl as its new metal headgear took a sizable chunk out of the softwood. The grunta, along with its rider, tumbled off, rolling together until they came to a stop. The animal was dazed, and so was the boy, but the Ork had remained on the back of his mount. The tree, however, had not faired so well. The impact of the combined weights of the ork and the armored pig shook the tree it violently, and severely compromised its structural integrity. |

if Nnix new anything it was her own skill-set [ well that and the daily actions of any leader she had heard of or which was contained in here books. ], and she that here capacity to manipulate the speaking races greatly outweighed here ability to directly interact with non vermin animals . as the tree vibrations of the tree from the force of the pigs impact reached Nnix's perch she was already in action. leaning backwards off of her branch she used a one handed grip on it to swing herself underneath it and fling herself into the air. she summersaulted midair snapping a head off of one of here arrows as she does so. falling into a dive dropping out of the sky and sliding onto the stunned pigs flank, here aim is to use the force of here fall to drive the arrowhead through one of its eye hole, and down through the length of the animals cone shaped skull. should she miss shell use a parachute roll to slide on mud off onto the more solid spots in the area.

Nnix performed a rather impressive summersault, but driving a broken arrow through a small eye hole in the thick metal plate tied to the head of a tumbling pig would prove just a bit harder than the (at least partially) inebriated goblin might have guessed. Her stab with the arrow would prove unsuccessful, and the goblin would be greeted with a wild rampaging pig thrashing thunderously after her, trying to trample her and anything else that moved. The pig charged Nnix with its head down, and violently began trying to gore her with its new metal tusks. The boy that sat atop the boar was more or less along for the ride at this point, being able to do very little in the way of controlling the animal. In truth, the Ork was still trying to figure out what exactly was going on, and what the hell the small creature was that the beast seemed keen on killing. |

Nnix makes an exaggerated cracking of her neck as she hops up and away. She weaves with movements akin to a practiced boxer, but with a pronunciation scaled upwards to account for the length of the metal the beast wildly advanced with. she ducks into dodges, when the boar gets to unpredictable a a greater leap backwards would prove suitable, never set back on her heels Nnix encouraged her peruser ever closer to the upturned canoe by guiding it into charges which ran diagonal towards the watercraft. This lasted Until she deemed it close enough at which point she made a final spring landing crouched atop it, itching for the charge of the boar. she off course never lets here attention wander far from the crowd of rowdy greenskins. the drugs are beginning to kick in, and nixes twitchier reaction are paying off against the metallically mutilated murder machine before her.

Wild, reckless, and above all, violent, the grunta thrashed as the boy sat atop it. While the boar was bent on killing Nnix, the boy was bent on controlling the boar. It was strong, heavily armored, and a born killing machine - so of course the boy was having the time of his life! He laughed manically as the boar pursued Nnix, screaming incomprehensible obscenity in broken common. The experience was made only sweeter by the thought of riding his new high-speed killing machine into the thick of battle ahead of the other members of the ork tribe.
The boar, and several hundred pounds of ork rider and armor plate jumped onto the upturned sturdy wooden canoe, jamming it down into the thick mud under the shallow, murky water. In the same moment, the boy reached to his waist and pulled the heavy wooden war club from its lashing. With his left hand still holding firm to the grunta's nape, the boy raised the club in his right hand above his head, determined to break Nnix with it if his mount failed to do so with its teeth and metal tusks. |

Thankfully the rider and boar are in a relationship that no cavalier would call cooperative, affording Nnix an easy escape from there antics. The boar would find the top of the canoe both slippery and ill suited for supporting such tremendous weight [ you decide how that turns out ]. As she leaps away in a battle Nnix was beginning to consider a series of tedious repetitions [ that's in character, im personally having a wonderful time ] she snatches up a handfull of muck and hurls it at the boars eyes.

As the boar landed on the canoe, the pig would find that its cloven hooves were indeed not at all suited for standing on the slick surface of the canoe's underside. The beast would falter, and then fall hard with a splash off to one side of the canoe, leaving the small vessel jammed into the mud. The boy slipped off of the grunta's back in the fall, but was able to make a grab for one of the metal plates on the animal's shoulder. As the pig got back to its feet, the boy threw his leg over the beast's back and mounted it once more. Back on its feet, the grunta charged once more towards Nnix. It was met with a face full of mud, which splattered into the eye holes of the metal plate. Being blinded (at least temporarily) did not stop the animal's rampaging charge, and it went headlong straight forward. If Nnix was becoming bored with the fight, the ork rider was becoming more and more increasingly frustrated. Orks, ill-tempered as they were, of course expressed frustration by hitting whatever they thought of as causing the frustration. In this case, it was Nnix. As the boar charged, the boy leaned forward over top of the blinded animal's head, and swung his club in a downward motion, trying to bash Nnix with the club. Between the boy's long ape-like arms and the length of the club, he was able to get surprising range out in front of the boar. |

Nnix leaps aside, straddling the trunk of the largest tree in reach. without pausing she scampered up int its upper branches, maneuvering so the trunk is between her and the rampaging duo. drawing her bow with her tail as she does so, and notching a shaft to the cord with her right hand. Nnix draws and fires at the nape of the boy's neck.
