Journal

The following text is transcribed from the Journal.

Few sights are as intimidating as a Great Axe hefted toward you. It can only be carried in a pose that exudes raw strength. The bearer of such a weapon rarely looks meek.

Bandos was also a fan of the aesthetic. While he favoured the sheer brutality of the Kyzaj, he chose to wield a Great Axe against Velgar. He stormed Brakka’s Folly, Great Axe in hand, and challenged the dragon to single combat. A god versus a dragon, the outcome felt obvious. Yet it did not play out as Bandos expected.

It should have been easy. Yet Velgar’s stone-touched flesh turned away Bandos' blows, and his poisonous breath leeched Bandos’ strength. Bandos cut a great scar down Velgar’s side, yet it was not, and the counterattack sent Bandos reeling.

He never surrendered, but there was no victory for the big high war god. He sounded a tactical retreat, seeking a better strategy – far, far away.
