This time, Koloch played the savior; Ushgar drew the attention of warriors and Koloch came in, limping, battered, already done in quite a bit from the fight with the captain of the guards, but he drove in at the first one on the flank of that little grouping and had him on the ground with a gut full of halberd spike before the other bunnies could do anything, roaring a wordless battle cry of blood lust; there was a groan and a spray of blood as he gave the halberd a savage yank that caused a gout of dying blood to spray up from the disemboweled bunny. Koloch was not the most savage orc ever, but he was savage enough -- he had the barbaric instinct of the kill that most orcs did, though the Achnal did as well -- the ingrained tendency to blood lust that often gave them an edge in coming to the fray, often assuming a fight was inevitable. These were no Achnal, they were civilized warriors, and those often underestimated the killing instinct of the more primitive humans or the orcs in general -- Koloch had that extra momentary edge where others might hesitate or decide where he simply killed or be killed. Koloch was not the largest orc there, either, but he was prodigious sinew beneath the steel plate, and easily took the blow from some human trying to fend him off with a sword -- a scrape to the pauldron that resounded with a clang that he'd been trained through years of teaching and experience to ignore even as he brought his weapon around for a sweeping counter-stroke that took the opponent's arm off in return. What Koloch was known and famed for, however, in the company, was not his prowess, though that had him as a part of the Chosen, but his voice -- he was one of the loudest orcs in all of Nar Mat Kordh-Ishi and he used it now, "TUSKERS! RIP THAT MAGE'S GUTS OUT; ORTHAUG, USHGAR AND I HAVE THE STONE BEAST!" Humans that didn't speak Orcish would probably mistake it for some sort of battle-cry.
