Naz - Female Orc foundling (Patreon)

At the request of your party's orc, you are heading to a local tribe for rest. All too soon, you smell burnt flesh and ash. Approaching cautiously, you find the tribe decimated, you assume no survivors after searching the wreckage. 

Until you hear a scream bellowed, and a young orc comes charging out of hiding swinging a great axe nearly as large as her. Her swing misses and she stumbles. She tries to stand to take another swing, but is obviously weakened from a wound in her side. 

Your party's orc bellows something in his native tongue, and she stops before bursting into sobs. After a few hours and a long convocation, you find the tribe was destroyed by a group of heavily armoured soldiers. With no where else to go, your party agrees to take her under their wing to keep her safe from the soldiers and from her self. 

*so I'm hoping this concept starts to make sense. This is a model set where you can really get the players into an NPCs story long term.
