Life of a half orc

Me not that good at writing. Me will try...

Me wish me was home with the elves. Its been so long. WHY? WHY? They kick me out with me mother screaming for me to stay with her... 34 years pass. Me wonder the land. Me see hatred everywhere. Shunned. Why? Nothing done to them. Me missed family. Mother. Me went back. Village was in ruins. Orcs... Me hate stupid ORCS. Me will kill them for village.

Me kill orcs where ever me go. Many many years pass. me go in cave and find pretty swirling light. Me touch it. Me end up here in place called Sanctuary.

Me wish me knew where mother is...

(note there are several tear like water marks on the page blurring the words somewhat)

Sanctury is in big trouble. Fights everywhere. Death everywhere. Always threats of pain and misery. Me hear of muggings, me even see a thief take boots then got beat up. The cheese here is bad too. Me threw up when eating it.

Me met some nice Kin. Grog the mage is nice to me. Gives me stuff. Law was passed to make half orcs citizens. Me very happy now. Me hear voices in head now. Very odd.

Me met halfling who is nice to me. Me have fun with him. Tells me that me need to wash more. Dunno why...

Me also meet rude dwarf the other day. Swears always. Calls me dog breath and pinky. Dunno why. Me done nothing to him.

Me raided Gnoll camp and found good loot. Good times here. Good times.

Me met an Ordinant other day...dunno her name. Dont really care. Me tell she dislikes me. Perhaps all of me kin receive same reaction from her. Me dont know.Why?. Me not evil. Me good half orc. Mother would say the same thing. She always stands near town hall like me. Me try not to look at her now. Me dont want enemies. Me only want friends...Me wonder is Grog gets same treatment.. Suddenly the writing becomes more hard and agressive and even harder to read ME DO NOTHING WRONG. NOTHING. ME NO UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE HATE ME! ME TRY. ME TRY. WHY? ME KILLED MACHINES TO HELP SANCTUARY.. ME KILL MONSTERS. ME DONE NOTHING BUT HELP.

ME WISH ME DIDNT HAVE ORC BLOOD! The writing after this becomes illegible to read, obvious that there is great feeling and emotion put into it...

Me went to aid of friend who had problem with ogres. Me guard the entrance to place killing umber hulks with some people me know. Me was hit by mind magic and went crazy attacking friend. Me calmed down. Me returned to Sancturary just to be ambushed by ogres. Me fought hard. Me wounded and had to drink powerful potions. Me was saving them up. All gone now. All gone...Me didnt like taste. Good but no nice. Like cheese. Me hate cheese. That red cheese is horrible. Beer and stinkweed is good. Not as good as pipeweed. But still good.

Me still smell though. Me need bath. Hope me dont make water smelly and get kicked out of bath. Again. Me sleep now. Hope wounds and blood will heal.

Me fought Gnolls again. Much harder this time. Damn mind magics...nearly kill me. Me sure many would not mind me being dead cos me be half orc. The look one of me kin gave me when me said me was half elven.. AND that me didnt follow the one eye'd one. Bah! Me follow elven god not stupid ORC god. Me hate being orc blood. Me wish me was elven. Me would be good elven. Me glad me not dwarf though... too annoying for me like. How can they have such funny beards and like it? And be so short. At least gnomes and halflings are funny. Dwarf is strong though. Some are alright like Tagnar. Me like that dwarf. Me also like other dwarves also. But me not want to be one. Me definatly would not be human. Too arrogent. Nice but too arrogent.

Me cannot change me blood however. Me will have to live with it.

Went in a sewer today. The sewers smell bad. Me not smell so bad when in sewer. Me wear Bright green armour which has been in acid. The armour is too small for me in parts. Me belly hangs out! The acid burns skin also... helps heal the wounds from spiders though.

Me also killed undead in great temple. Lots of undead. very smelly also. Me need bath. Yes, bath...

Me was with Riappi the halfling and a new friend. We try and sell stuff. He had nothing but crap. Me stuff was good. Made good money. We laughed alot about nothing. Me do dance. Scared Riappi.

Good times...again

Me friend Riappi died today. Me not sad though since he was brought back to life! Me brought someone back to life once infront of me very eyes! Still, me heard also that he made a rescue attempt to get me body back... me not dead though...me escaped temple. Don't remember how...still. Me killed gnolls and gnomes in tough battles. Good loot.

Me think there is hole in armour. me feel draft...

Riappi has a girlfriend! He now be called Cupcake now!! The half orc is heard to be laughing his head off in his room at The Last stand

Me laugh so hard. So funny. His girlfriend seems nice. Riappi thinks she is mad. He says that she had a hit on the head. He says she isn't his girlfriend and that he never met her before. Me know the truth. They in Love!

Me never been in love before. Me only ever cared for mother. Me wonder what it is like...

Me told story of me time with the elves... a sad story. The Hins liked it. Brought up memories...

Me had a competition with a dwarf to see how far we can throw eachother. Me won! Me threw the dwarf across the other side of the town steps.

Me also arm wrestled another dwarf and won too! didnt win anything though...

Me went Hunting with an Ordinant initiate and some others including Diva and Riappi and Fizzle to hunt down an Illithid! Me was told to use only blunt weapons. Me wanted to use axe but was told not too...

Me smashed many HUGE umberhulks. Bigger than the ones in the mines. Me even did the final blows to bring down the Illithid! Me got good pay for that and many potions.

Me finally got me armour just the way me like it. Pink and black! Pink robe as well. Need to colour the helm but silver goes well with it anyway.

Me also went ettercap hunting. Me hated that. So many spiders... Took long time too kill them all. Me have decided to call me axe a name...Bob will be its name...

Fizzle. Me like her. She be really nice to me... me wonders why? Still. Me like Fizzle.

Wow, Fizzle. Me SOOO like her. Riappi makes fun of me becase of it. Still, Fizzle called me her boyfriend. Me shocked. Me dont know what to do. It is strange feeling. Love. Is it love? Me dont know. Me do like her lots and lots. Me get worried for her when she away.

Rappy has a new friend... Me thought he didnt like friends. Still, she afraid of me. Very scared. Cos of me feckin' Orc blood. Me hate me Orc blood. Though it makes me strong it makes me dumb too. Me hate not understand things.

Me also fell in battle the other day. Fecking Drow... Me still bear the scars from that whip. Me used up many, many potions. Me still fell. Me must train harder.

Fizzle...

Ian sighs deeply and begins to write

Raippi right. Perhaps me do love her. Me haven't known her long. Riappi was also right. Me should tell her. Me scared though! What if me wrong and she dont. The fool me would be. She might just... Like me. And thats it. But she did call me her boyfriend... Was she joking?

Me hate jokes. No funny sometimes. What do me do? If me was elf me wouldn't have this trouble. Surely... Me not understand love. Me only ever been close to Mother. Then so many people come along in Sanctuary. Me friends with many here. So strange. Being excepted for what me am. An orc blood. Me never been so happy as me been in Sanctuary...

What do me do?

Me told her! She just rolled her eyes and said of course me do like her lots...we are boyfriend and girlfriend! Me got embarrased. Still... Me Ward at house Archibald now! Me must train hard to become guardian. Me would love to be a guardian. Short on money again. As always.

Me wonder where fizzle got too...

Me was used in experiment by mage to test out some of his transfomations. Me slaughtered him when her turned into an umberhulk and troll... the second time me fought he buffed up with some spells... he beat me with the umberhulk. Me still sore after that but it was good practice.

Me still haven't seen fizzle... me worried about her...
