Appearance

You see Scourge Charak, a Human Barbarian.
He has steely grey eyes. His black hair is very long and peppered, and is worn unkempt. He has leathery skin.
He has a tattoo of five skulls stacked in a macabre pyramid on his arm.
He is in good shape.

He is carrying a polished steel battle axe with a malchata-rib haft.
He is wearing some torn iron-studded battle leathers, a simple leather helm, a tattered and faded cotton shirt, some ripped and bloodstained pants, a pair of leather waterskins, some iron-studded leather gloves, and a belt pouch covered with old bloodstains.

Conversation Topics

• Generic

Charak stares at you blankly before snapping, "What makes you think I have any interest in your prattling?"

• BERSERK STEEL

You and Charak wander off to discuss some things in private.

He looks you squarely in the eye for a moment before responding. He says, "So, you think you're ready for your first step into the true power of battle rage, eh? Fine. We'll see."

He continues to speak, but his words do not reach your ears. They drum themselves into your mind, a repetition of the litany "Steel...Steel...Steel..." until you can think of nothing else.

When you blink your eyes to try to refocus, Charak gazes at you thoughtfully. He says, "Alright. Let's see how well you hold up. Off you go."

With a sudden move, Charak drags you through the shifting sands, tossing you headlong toward a pack of enemies and leaving you alone with only the echo of his mocking laughter! Your rage grows within you and you remember only the last lesson that arrogant old man "taught" you.

Crimson becomes your earth and sky, as the certainty of your invincibility surges through you like a wildfire!

• BERSERK GRAVE

You and Charak wander off to discuss some things in private.

He looks you in the eye before shaking his head. "You already know how to channel your rage into the feeling of steel, and you aren't ready to learn the truth of the grave yet. Don't waste my time.

• BERSERK KUNIYO

You and Charak wander off to discuss some things in private.

Charak grins savagely as he appraises you. He says with pride, "You're coming along very well indeed. Now you're ready to hear a tale I was told long ago." He relates a short tale of Kuniyo fighting a maddened bear, of the terrible rage that consumed them both, and how Barbarians used that tale to inspire some of their most savage frenzies.

After finishing and letting you think on the tale, he grins mockingly and says, "And now, time for you to try it out."

With a sudden move, Charak drags you through the shifting sands, tossing you headlong toward a pack of enemies and leaving you alone with only the echo of his mocking laughter! Your rage grows within you and you remember only the last lesson that arrogant old man "taught" you. Destruction your only goal, your body thrums with the overwhelming energy of your rage and desire for bloodshed!
