In the icy throes of Northrend, Kahn, the lone orc, watched Jekle as he pulled himself up and onto the cart. Five dead bodies, not three, like theyâd planned. A tarp covered over them all, and the goblin slipped beneath it, Kahn grabbing his gauntlet and axes to take cover in the cold, silent night. Both were placed onto the orcs belt.
It was barely visible in the pitch black, but Jekle wiped his eyes as he looked at the corpses. Two were his friends. This wasnât meant to happen.
He slumped at the edge of the cart, and Kahn watched him.
"Did either of them⌠have family?"
"Not-- Not that I know of," was the reply from the goblin. Kahn gave an awkward, slow nod, having not been particularly close to them. He kept staring at the goblin.
"You were close?" The orc asked. Jekle paused, frowning.
"Itâs complicated."
The orc nodded a reply. "As all good friendships are."
The Family sat vigil for Ireshka and Gedsrun through the night. Circles under his eyes as prominent as ever, Jekle kept hunched over by the wagon, face gripped in his handsâŚ
Itâs with a hollow heart that we say goodbye to two beloved Family members, Gedsrun, and Ireshka, who both took character deaths on last nights campaign. As Ireshka is quitting the game, we wanted to give her a proper send off. As of such, she is now no longer one of our Officers.
The Family was formed by myself and Ireshka on her alt, Kaziik, and sheâll always be in my heart as being a GM alongside myself to form this Guild. I could say so much about how upsetting her quitting of the game is, but I think this says enough.
Thank you for being with us, Ireshka. Weâll miss you.
