Trying to put the gag on the noblewoman proved to be a daunting task, much to Kuruk's dismay and annoyance, particularly after her sarcastic remarks intending to belittle him and his tribe. While in a regular situation he wouldn't have hesitated to use his strength to subdue her and just accept the damned piece of cloth it was pretty clear that the half-orc chief considered her a personal gift for Aekkar. Harming her would not only come from a reprimand from his chief, but it might seem like an insult to the Stone Scorpions.  He thought it would be wiser to just ignore the order to gag her, but got a little satisfaction as he pushed her towards the pit arena, making her binds even more uncomfortable. "We don't have all day." Kuruk said as he pushed her.<br/><br/>Not even a second passed before a half-orc accepted the challenge. As the Stone Scorpion climbed down the ladder, Aekkar took the opportunity to take off the top half of his armour as well as his wolf headdress, revealing his face to the onlookers. It wasn't an uncommon sight for the Ebon Wolves, but the chief liked the headdress enough to wear it almost constantly -and it helped to reinforce his appearance as chief-. He revealed himself to be fairly young, with short, unkempt, and slightly dark, blonde hair and a square face with light skin. It was a heavy contrast with his opponent, who towered over him and had long, braided dark hair over his stone grey skin.<br/><br/>The half-orc couldn't help but snicker, it was clear he expected more from the Ebon Wolves chief, but that's exactly why Aekkar had climbed down into the pit. The half-orc challenger looked up to his chief, who only nodded in approval, much to the fighter's delight. Brog wanted to see what he could do and the fighter seemed to want to crush the human chief, who remained unflinching. "Come on! I thought half-orcs were supposed to be fearless." Aekkar taunted with a grin on his face. The Ebon Wolves watching remained silent, there was a reason Aekkar was chief. The Stone Scorpions instead cheered their fighter to teach him a lesson. Soon enough, Aekkar's entire field of vision was covered by the half-orc hastily charging towards him with his arms open, ready to take him down. There was no room for maneuver, the pit was built precisely for that. Aekkar turned to a side and ducked as low as he could at the last second, letting his opponent's torso go above him before pushing up and throwing him into the wall of the pit, using the half-orc's mass against him. He still managed to ket kneeled on the side though, which was unavoidable, but with his opponent dazed and on the ground it was easy to subdue him.<br/><br/>The whole crowd was silent for a second before Brog erupted into a loud laughing fit. "Seems like I was wrong! Bazur is one of our best." The half-orc chief said as he helped Aekkar out of the pit. "I can see why you managed to bug those Imperials now."<br/><br/>One of the Ebon Wolves handed Aekkar his wolf headdress back, but before he could put it on he was greeted by Kuruk who had the noblewoman next to him, without a gag. "She kept refusing, chief," Kuruk said while shrugging. "Didn't want to harm your gift." He said as he gave Raesha one last push towards the chief.<br/><br/>"Comfortable?" Aekkar asked smugly as he set his green eyes on the binds restricting the Lodian woman. "I thought you'd have used one of your spells by now. I can't wait to see you try,"
