The Further Misfortunes of Hra-krak the Orc Pirate….


The true account of the meeting of Dagoth Ur…

As Hra despatches yet another of Dagoths minions..

“Come Nerevar, come as traiter or friend..”

Hra- “ Who said dat?” spinning around and seeing no-one.

“ And bring Wraithguard as I have need of it…”

Hra- “ Look you, stop playing dem silly buggers an show yourself, you wanna buy ´Wraithguard`, dat we can talk about, but your mates ere are getting on my nerves…”

Another ash ghoul jumps out at Hra-krak and is immediately confused about his loss of head, Hra steps over the body and slips silently into the dark red bowels of this ruin…..

“ Come to the Heart chamber, where we met ages ago….”

Hra- “ Are you dat bloke I met in Balmora? Look, I is sorry I ripped yas arm off, but I was-“

“COME TO ME THROUGH FIRE AND WAR”

Another doorway, another ghoul drops to the dust covered floor…..

Finally, Hra faces Dagoth inside the Heart chamber….

Hra-“ So dis da heart den? Don’t look very big..”

Dagoth-“ It began here and it will end here, have you any parting words?”

Hra-“ Huh? But I just got here… can you tell me where da toilet is, cause I really gotta go-“

Dagoth- “ So, you would mock me, I see you would rather skip the speeches and get down to our business…”

Hra-“ Wha- oh yeah, you wanna buy dis wraifguard thingy, yeah well, Id love to sell it to you, but I cant get it off, I tried everfing! Even dwemer oil, noffing gets it off…”

Dagoth-“ You would SELL me wraithguard!?”

Hra-“ Id love to, my arms bin itchin all da way here, an dat Vivec bloke said it was special, but he not say about da itchin, don’t see wots so special about it anyhows, bleedin special itchin if you ask me..”

Dagoth-“No, there can be but one result here today, I had considered… offering to accept your service to me-“


Hra makes himself more comfortable, by leaning against the heart….


Hra-“ AH!,Ah, well deres your problem see, dat Vivec offer me a lot a gold for your head, you see, an, well, if you can see my point, id like to help yous, but, well, how much you offering?”

Dagoth-“You would give me the tools – WILL YOU GET OFF THE HEART!!-“

Hra-“ Oh, SOOOOOO sorry! You mean dis heart here?”

Hra now taps the heart with sunder in his hand…

Dagoth-“ Stop patting it like that, DON’T TOUCH IT! You disgusting vermin!”

Hra continues to slap the heart in a friendly way..

Hra-“ Wot? Dis heart here? OOOOOH! The “disgusting vermin is SOOOO SORRY!”

Hra is now putting a little effort into his friendly patting of the heart..

Dagoth-“ Look, just step away from the heart, will you, I, Im sorry I called you vermin, I really didn’t mean it, look, just step over here,would you, and maybe we could talk about this…”

Hra-“ Oh no, I couldn’t do dat, Mr Mighty Dagoff “Im a god” dontcha know, I fink I stays right where I is and keeps my friendly hand on dis here hearty thing….OOPS!-“

As Hra-krak Onetusk pats the heart it dislodges from its frame, shielding still intact, and gently rolls towards the edge of the platform…

Dagoth-“ THE HEART!! NOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooo!!”

Dagoth reaches out for the heart as it tumbles over the edge, as he does so, Hra-krak puts out one of his feet in front of Dagoths path..

Dagoth” WHA-?.. aAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-“ SPLAT!!- sizzle! Sounds of liquefying flesh…..

Hra-krak-“ Easiest money I ever made, some of dese Gods round ere aint so clever like me!HUR! HUR!”

And so Hra-krak Onetusk the Orc pirate slowly made his way back to Vivec….


comments welcome.....

The fight against Dagoth Ur went great. Maybe a bit more detail would have been better but it was still good.

This story was written for the MW forum general section, as that seems to be the only suitable place for stories there, and I kind of left major details out like, the "Heart chamber" description , and the journey through the Dagoth Dwemer ruin, as this might have been considered **SPOILER**, by the moderaters, so the story is more geared for people who know the sequence of events at that point in the game. But I do take your point, and I thank you for it.
