<span style="font-weight:400">Meanwhile Kal and Druig decided to be a little more proactive in their search. <span style="font-weight:400">The search parties are instead organized as war parties. <span style="font-weight:400">Both decided that this is the chance to find and kill the other beastmen herds that have been harassing them since entering Drakwald. <span style="font-weight:400">Druig lead 20 other Bovigors and start stampeding around the radius of a dozen or so kilometers from the camp. <span style="font-weight:400">Chasing after any beastmen that does not have golden furs. <span style="font-weight:400">They found a small herd of few hundred and bulldoze straight through them. <span style="font-weight:400">The Khorngor leading the small herd have his body exploded by Druig’s punch. <span style="font-weight:400">The remains along with those unfortunate are ttened as the golden bulls stampede through. <span style="font-weight:400">A party of 50 Caprigors are directly behind. <span style="font-weight:400">Killing any stragglers that is not ttened or managed to run away. <span style="font-weight:400">A group of a dozen tuskgor raiders also follow and took the surviving beastwomen away.
<span style="font-weight:400">Kal meanwhile lead his party of 200 Caprigors and 50 Werewolves. <span style="font-weight:400">They test the illusory feathers. <span style="font-weight:400">Not fully invisible but camouged enough to fully surround the other herd’s camp when the mor wore off. <span style="font-weight:400">A few minutes, Kal’s counted. <span style="font-weight:400">Then he led his party and ughter the other herd to thest beastmen. <span style="font-weight:400">Kal took the beastmen as they continue to hunt down the other herds. <span style="font-weight:400">Only when the vicinity clear of all what they saw as lesser beastmen herds do they start the search for the stone.
<span style="font-weight:400">All of this is witnessed by murders of crows. <span style="font-weight:400">A murder stays to watch over the golden herd camp while the other two murders of crows returns to their master on what they witnessed.
<span style="font-weight:400">—
<span style="font-weight:400">Mgor folds his dark feathered wing and sat on a barren hill. <span style="font-weight:400">Somewhere east of Altdorf. <span style="font-weight:400">He picks a skull, one from the many tied to his clothes and throw it away. <span style="font-weight:400">Then he picks up his rusty but chaos marked carving knife. <span style="font-weight:400">He picks a fresh head of a woman with blond hair and blue eyes. <span style="font-weight:400">A former judge priestess from the Order of Scalebearers that worship Verena, the goddess ofw, justice, and wisdom. <span style="font-weight:400">Then he carve the eyes out in glee. <span style="font-weight:400">Now the head mirrored their goddess’ depiction as a blind woman.
<span style="font-weight:400">This has been his favorite past time after desecrating and destroying the temples of human gods. <span style="font-weight:400">Taking souvenirs of the priest’s or priestess’ head and carve it into a mockery of their gods. <span style="font-weight:400">This time he just finished leading a herd to destroy a small town within the Border Princes Confederacy. <span style="font-weight:400">Destroying and desecrating a library and courthouse dedicated to Verena in the process. <span style="font-weight:400">He pushed a rope into one of the eye socket and pull out the rope from the other. <span style="font-weight:400">Tying the head then put them in his collection of human priest and priestess head.
<span style="font-weight:400">The murder of crows he has sent to watch over the dark gods newest pawn returned. <span style="font-weight:400">His small sense of joy immediately reced with the familiar me of hatred and envy. <span style="font-weight:400">The small herds he have manipted into fighting the golden herd now all died. <span style="font-weight:400">But nothing of value is lost. <span style="font-weight:400">They are just small herds that the dark gods barely noticed.
<span style="font-weight:400">What he hate is how all of them are blessed by the dark gods. <span style="font-weight:400">And now they bore more marks from the dark gods. <span style="font-weight:400">The illusory feathers they now have is unmistakably from Tzeentch. <span style="font-weight:400">The golden bull sudden increase in size and strength is from Khorne. <span style="font-weight:400">All of the golden herd bodies is now looks like they are molded by anesh. <span style="font-weight:400">They are taller and more powerful version of beastmen. <span style="font-weight:400">Mgor could see what the dark gods nned. <span style="font-weight:400">A second Everchosen as a contender for the one in the north.
<span style="font-weight:400">He looked on his own wings. <span style="font-weight:400">Once he thought that he is the most blessed among the beastmen. <span style="font-weight:400">Now the wing only serve as a reminder on what he don’t havepared to the golden herd. <span style="font-weight:400">What’s more the dark godsmanded him to test them. <span style="font-weight:400">But he start tough at this notion as a n formed in his mind. <span style="font-weight:400">Well, if it is a test the dark gods want, he will make it. <span style="font-weight:400">He unfurled his wing and start to fly to the province of Tbend. <span style="font-weight:400">He has news for the Taurox, the Brass Bull regarding a new Golden Bull.
