If you use an execution while mounted on a caragor, while an enemy is on the floor stunned, it's an insta-kill. I hope he comes back for the finale, because that was pretty anticlimatic.

[@timothywilcox1539]

Koth loved Ghuls. This was a fact that every single uruk around him knew. Shrakh, it was his captain title, for the Dark Lords's sake. Koth the Ghul Lover. The men he led hated Ghuls, as did all of the other captains, and that fact Koth found strange. Sure, they were poison-spewing, parasites without end or mercy, but... so were uruks. It seemed everything that reminded the uruks of themselves was to be hated, and everything different from the uruks... was also hated. But Koth loved the ghuls. Why did he love the ghuls? Because of their similarities to the uruks, to him. They were fiercely loyal to their matriarch, much like a grunt, their captain. They never retreat, except to bring more of their kind to the fray. And behind the veneer of seeming mindless hunger they had... they hid kindness. Much like the uruk-hai. Much like Koth. Koth hated the gravewalker. He hates all manswine equally, except for him. His... *disdain* for ghuls and uruk-hai alike... it was disgusting to him! He had to die, for the sake of his beloved ghuls! And he did it! In a maddened mess of blades belonging to his kin, and the claws of his ghul allies, he managed to strike the gravewalker down. But as it turned out, his name was not just for show. He came back, then got slain by one of his men, then came back again, still eager to kill him, the guardian of ghuls! And in the midst of their third fight, the gondorian ranger set Koth on fire. Koth hated fire. It hurt him, hurt his men, hurt his ghuls... it was relentless, insatiable, and above all, everywhere. Even having his food cooked made him uneasy. That is why he ate it raw, as his beloved ghuls did. He trained to harness his hatred of the flames, but even then, the gravewalker's magics turned out to be stronger. He lost his arms to the gravewalker, and was left for dead, bleeding out on a stone clearing, waiting for the crebain to feast on his corpse... Or so he thought. He awoke in a cave, surrounded by ghuls. Hundreds and hundreds of them. The matriarch hovering over him like a spirit of death. If Koth could muster the words, we would have offered his body to the masses, as sustanence for their continued survival. But the ghuls, in their infinite hidden kindness, had other plans. Their poisons melted his severed limbs back into place and blessed him in a toxic baptism. He gained the strength needed to kill the Gravewalker, thanks to his Ghuls, his friends, his savoirs... And ultimately... his avengers. He failed them again, his body now vulnerable to the fires that he so loathed, that the gravewalker caused to appear once again in his attempted quest for vengeance. He ended up falling to them, crying in agony for help, but not even his Ghuls could help him now. They could only avenge his death, the matriarch catching the gravewalker off guard and brutalizing him as Koth became ash. Koth hated fire. It didn't care what you were, it scarred you. It burned you. It was relentless in its chase, endless in its rage... Much like uruks... Much like... ghuls... Koth awoke, except he was no longer Koth the Ghul Lover. In the fires surrounding him, he saw a city crumbling, a grand inferno causing the walls and towers to fall, and through the fire and the flames, an endless wave of Ghuls and uruks wiped away the tarks that guarded it, led by a shadowed sillhouette. Was this... his destiny? He stood, reborn, both by the ghuls and the flame. The epitome of all that was merciless and endless! He was the Flame... The Flame of War! Koth the Flame of War loves Ghuls... Koth the Flame of War... loves fire... And Koth the Flame of War... *hated* the gravewalker. He fought him once again. It was a harrowing battle, a difficult one. But once again, he fell... But in the flames of the sunset, he saw who led the charge... the gravewalker.
