Armok, God of Blood, gazed down upon his champion and frowned. This would not do. This would not do at all.
He was gazing down at a tragic scene, for those who knew the backstory of this champion.
Onol Nekolurdim Uzolken Idok was one of the mightiest adventurers Armok had ever commanded, and the end that was coming for him was not worthy of someone so mighty; in fact, being killed by faulty oceans was not a death anyone deserved.
With a bellow, Armok sent his Valkyries to spirit the luck dwarf away.
Onol knew his time had come. The water was cold now, and sundown was fast approaching. Onol knew the wisdom of those who had passed on; the water froze with deadly swiftness here. Nevertheless, he swam on. Just as he felt the water about to snap-freeze, however, he felt arms wrap around his torso, fingers grasped his beard, what felt like legs grabbed his arms and lifted him free of the water.
"What is this madness," he cried, but he was hushed by the thrumming voice that practically burst his ears: "
Armok is not yet done with you. We carry you to rest; on the morrow, resume the journey."Exhausted from swimming the whole day, Onol hung his head and slept.
So yeah. This thread might not be updated very frequently, but it will chronicle the continued adventures of my best adventurer ever, saved from the jaws of death by the handy advice of Eric Blank. More details are in the 'How have you been dying recently' thread; I'll post a link later.
I will consult Bay12 for advice on what to battle next, but keep in mind that Onol can overcome pretty much anything at this point. First update to come sometime. Until then!

I chuckled when I realized that this massive wolf was probably warg-sized compared to Onol, and despite going berserk on him he's just going "meh" and kicking her to death.
