Kamel, my father, saw through the female orc's magical disguise. She had been trying to seduce him for days. He took another drink of his dwarven spirits. "Why not ?!?!", he thought to himself. He threw the empty jug over into the corner of the room. He grabbed her by the hair and pushed her face down onto the mattress.

A few months later he discovered, she was with child. He packed his things. "Time to move on!", he told no one in particular. He send a magical message to the orc mistress. "I must move on, pressing business. I'll write poems about our lovemaking. I'll share stories with other bards. Orc women will have human males begging for some orcish love. If you have a girl, name her Diamond Dog. If it's a boy, name him Ringo De'Magnifique after me."

Shan raised her newborn son up to the moon. "Ringo De'Magnifique!", she shouted. The green-eyed boy looked with interest. The tribe's shaman cast the bones and foretoold of a blessed life for the baby half-orc.

Ringo had passed his rite of manhood. The lifeless gnoll not a mark. He looked at all the young orc women. He would take two tonight. The tribe's chief hunter took the body and told Ringo he has a surprise in store. He gave Ringo a honest, broken-tusked smile. It was all so easy. The tribe knew he wold become the next shaman or chieftain. He might even become both! But, Ringo knew he wasn't staying, for he had the urge to seek out his human father.

Philer Tolo's note put Ringo on a path to discover both his brothers Indigo and Zen. Now he feels at peace traveling adventuring with brothers, and can't wait to get to Sandpoint to see what awaits.
