Outer Scar, Eastern side[/center]

A lone figure trudged through snowy ground with a thick hide cloak hanging over them to keep the worst of the cold off during what had been a harder winter than usual in the Scar. It was probably the magic from further in meeting towards its edge making a more extreme climate than it would have ever been in the Midwest a decade ago. At least that's what people from the settlements had said last time he had even bother to ask about what the area used to be, it was nice to think about once in awhile to keep his thoughts warm at least. Soon his trek back to shelter would be over with just a couple more miles though knowing his luck some imps might've settled in near his fire and food. The thought made him push harder towards the building which he had made his most permanent home bringing down his maul occasionally to scatter the snowbank around making it just a little easier to maneuver.

Ogre had been fortunate to find this old house as big as it was he could walk around in it without having to crouch all the time when he grew just a bit too big. He could already hear the chattering from inside to which he issued a loud and annoyed grunt as he stomped forward making even more noise. After that he could see and hear various small demons scampering out of his house in the biggest hurry they had probably ever been in because they knew exactly what would happen otherwise. The huge man had to move around the side to where the only major hole was to step in from there since he was currently around 12ft tall so the door was completely out of the question but it stayed quite warm inside on the other end so it was kind of perfect once the unwanted visitors were run off. Next to one or two towns this was the closest place to rest properly near the outer edge of The Scar so it was no wonder like him the demons took interest in it and even the occasional humans looking to get out of whatever weather tried to kill them next.

The behemoth tossed a log of weird living wood onto the bonfire he made inside as he settled in, he didn't know why it bit or screamed at him but honestly it burned the best so while he had some of it the fire would stay going while he was gone for hours. He had a big leg of what might've been a boar at one point in time cooking moments later on a crude spit while he considered his options for keeping supply up until spring when more of the animals would come back out again. Late winter was always a lean time especially out here so maybe it was time to branch out away from The Scar as the more powerful demons seemed to be hunting out his usual areas probably trying to starve out what they couldn't kill. Ogre was extremely frustrated by this practice but they had the numbers to pull it off in a way he just couldn't counter so now would be the opportunity or excuse as it really was to get out of here if only for a little while. There might be good trade with the people beyond for his hides or tools especially with this cold.

It made far too much sense not to take such a god course, so after vigorously tearing into the Chaos tainted meat off the bone he threw the remains of the leg aside and began to pack his things. With his goods and supplies packed up, maul slung over one shoulder, he began to jog forgoing his previous attempts to conserve energy for the exciting prospect of surviving the winter in comfort with new friends possibly. The huge man wasn't a fool knowing full well they might turn him away like some of the loyalist settlements of The Scar but he had to try otherwise he was going to have to hunt down another Duke or whoever caused him his current troubles. Knowing the distance well enough it wouldn't take him overly long to reach the point where he usually halted in the past only observing from a distance but it was different now and he would not stop simply for his uncertainty that usually overtook his mind. Ogre was resolved this time his wanderlust would be satisfied and so would his belly which pushed him to run wanting to be there as soon as possible.
