===Introduction===
"That's not good..."
Even as you speak the words, you realize that they're something of an understatement.
A growling, roaring collection of savagery stands before you. There are berserkers, with paint on their chests and froth around their mouths. Some of them are slamming the flats of their axes against their own pectorals, or the sides of their faces -- as though seeking even greater heights of fury. Then there are the werewolves, their brutal jaws snapping at the air, cruel clawed fingers curling and uncurling at the ends of strong, furry limbs.
For one long moment you and your companions gaze at the fearsome enemies, and they at you. The men and monsters of Nordent shout and howl, voices both human and bestial growing louder and louder. Then their rage reaches its apex, and they charge -- ready to satisfy it with your spilled blood.
===Conclusion===
Rakshara's sword falls again and again, hacking away at a berserker's limbs and head until his axes stop swinging at her orange flesh. He only relents and crumples when half his brains are outside his skull.
A werewolf springs at the oroc from behind, ready to take her unawares and sink his teeth into her neck with true lupine cunning. But Tessa Tullian is watching. The arrow that catches his own neck shines with enchantments, its hue a fitting silver as it takes the lycanthrope's life.
Thus protected from interruption by the aegis of Tessa's shafts, Rakshara continues her deadly work. Berserk fury is a powerful weapon, but it doesn't serve its bearers well against a woman as powerful as the oroc. Her thick orange shield rebuffs each of their blows, and their feral might isn't enough to push her back a single inch. Instead she seizes every opening with a true warrior's instincts, thrusting and cutting until enemy after enemy lies dead for all their unquenchable anger.
When at last she stands alone, all the foes slain and the battle at an end, she turns to you -- as though sensing your gaze.
"All warriors become angry," she explains. "Rage is there to be harnessed. But I have no respect for those who utterly lose their minds to it. What good is unthinking fury to their allies and their people?"
