Gnarog's Arrival (AW)

Gnarog's Arrival was the very first ever RP session on Alternate World. This was the roleplaying session where Gnarog Dougfrál and Nemezish debuted for the first time ever. The full Hungarian-language logs can be read at RPG:Archive AW 1.

Plot
Gnarog - who was a soldier in the 21th century on the Lower Plane - dies, but is reborn on the Upper Plane, reborn as a creature much taller and stronger than his former self. Upon his arrival, he finds a wounded elk, and he tries to eat its raw flesh, but finds out that in this new form he came to inhabit, he does not require food at all to survive. Meanwhile, a wolf arrives - Gnarog tames it. He them makes two necklaces out of the bones and skin of the elk, and gives one to the wolf - he processes some of the leather into a loincloth. He also makes a flintstone axe.

Eventually, the wolf disappears, but Gnarog finds it, realizing that it is a she-wolf with three children. He ends up taming the little wolf cubs as well, and builds a primitive house, living in Stone Age conditions, hunting elks with his tamed wolves. On the fifth day, Nemezish apepars, completely naked - Gnarog makes clothes for her, and Nemezish asks her questions about their new existence - due to his prior "education" at the hands of a "wise man" on the Lower Plane, Gnarog knows more, and can enlighten Nemezish a bit about their newfound existence.

Gnarog goes on a hunt with his three wolves while Nemezish is practicing her skills - sadly, the hunt goes awry, as the mother wolf dies, along with two of her cubs, leaving only one for Gnarog. Both Gnarog and Nemezish spend the following days hunting and practicing, until a giant creature flies into their direction - Gnarog uses his previously activated ability to temporarily make himself, Nemezish and the wolf invisible. After the creature goes away, Gnarog attempts to kiss Nemezish, who slaps him hard - eventually, they agree to be just friends for the time being. They spend more time practicing, with Gnarog reavealing to Nemezish at one point, that he was experimenting with healing magic, cutting his veins and trying to discover healing - but the experiments led to a failure, and him losing a lot of blood. When Nemezish hears about this, she demands that he stops the experiments, lest he die and she be alone again.

Tropes

 * : This was Alternate World, not Ways of Darkness - Gnarog Dougfrál and Nemezish were vastly different characters.
