KING OF THE WASTELANDS

The area I most frequent is large, and there are many alcoves in the stone for storage or other such things. I filled one with blankets and sleep there sometimes.

The cave itself… that is another question. Admittedly, I have not fully explored it. I thought it unwise to go too far into the depths, as a cave-in or any other such event could be my slow, terrible demise.

…

There is a lot more water and plant life, nowadays. It is welcome; we do not have to go far for food or water. For reasons unknown, the area surrounding my cave remains desert-like, but I can see green from our territory. I consider it a boon. Enemies have no cover if they wish to attack us.

Many Vorox and Zesk do not know how to swim. I… am not the best at swimming either, with my armour. But they are learning. As for living near water, we occasionally stay near streams and rivers if we are travelling. Our tribe is unusual, in that we largely stay in the same place compared to the typical roaming of other packs, but… I suppose I have grown used to my cave. And my tribe is happy here.

If ‘Rahi’ are those armoured animals, then the difference I have noticed is that they are rarely worth the trouble of hunting. The metal components make up far too much of the animal, and so the meat is scarce. But, often, they seem less likely to pose a threat.

I have informed Shisk of your appreciation for her craft. She made this as thanks.

Ah, an easy mistake to make. The round is not small. I am simply very large. There are few Glatorian as impressively immense as I.

Apologies for my hiatus. The little device I found refused to respond to my commands, which are hard enough to issue with claws.

You would not believe the hassle and effort I faced to rectify this and acquire this power box. I only use it when I need to power up the device. The noise bothers my tribe. It also bothers me. Immensely. I have the worst headache.

Spherus Magna becoming whole once more means that water is plentiful, and the planet has oceans, lakes, and rivers once more. I have recently become reacquainted with the tastes of all manner of fish and aquatic life.

My workout routine is focused on strength. Some of the other Glatorian would also work on toning, I never cared for that. What good is defining muscle shape when you could be getting more powerful?

As for arm day...

What a silly question. Of course there are Zesk in my tribe. They often forage for the Vorox in return for protection. Many of them can fight for themselves, but are not typically as skilled in combat, especially not alone. Their true strength is in their numbers; the presence of many Zesk is a sign of a strong tribe.

There are circumstances in which I have carried members of my tribe. Most recently, a Vorox warrior who had her tail removed by a certain shiny hooligan had fled until she could run no longer, and I carried her home when I found her. Besides this, the younger members of the pack occasionally demand to be carried, and… well, I cannot find it in me to refuse.

And, as for how many, it really depends on how many want to be carried. If you are asking about how many I can physically carry…

Deep within Malum’s cave, in the caverns deep below the planet’s surface, something stirs, still slumbering, but roused into a semi-conscious state.

In the caves above...

Why are you all so curious about the Toa? A few have passed through, I suppose, but I have no business with them, nor they with me. As for Glatorian... Ackar visits occasionally, but-

Wait...

… That aside, the hand gestures are rarely a problem. Some, I have difficulty with, but the Vorox and Zesk know some Agori words. So, it is not too much of an issue.
