The Lone Wolf's Claw

Balurga, a former member of the Odajumoki Gang, lives a life on the run from her former comrades. She recalls Guzaletha, the leader who took her in, and the trap he laid that led to her being branded a traitor. Out of luck and out of options, she has a fateful encounter with (Captain) and the crew.



The Odajumoki Gang are a band of fiendish Harvins.
In the hall of their great leader Guzaletha, an imposing roar rings out.
Guzaletha: Grah! Silence! This is no place for the likes of you!
Balurga: No, I refuse to leave. Not until you let me join you.
Guzaletha: Don't be stupid. I can see right through you. Your little outfit can't hide the fact that you're a woman!
Guzaletha: We are the Odajumoki Gang, and only the manliest of men may join us! As a courtesy, I'll spare your life. Now begone!
Balurga: I'm a man, I came here to get manlier, and I ain't leaving until you let me join!
Guzaletha: Hrrmm... I see you do not lack for resolve. Very well! Take our entrance exam... if you dare!
With a tilt of his chin, Guzaletha gives a silent command to a nearby lackey. Then he looks back with a daring smile, eager to see Balurga's reaction.
His lackeys bring in the beast that tows the Ultra Dogsled-Tank Jenkins.
Guzaletha: Heh heh heh heh... Animals don't lie, and this one can smell the difference.
Guzaletha: Are you frightened, girl? If you're sincere about joining us, then put your right hand up to its mouth!
Balurga: Gah! Aaaghhhh...
Guzaletha: What are you doing? You... you idiot! Why would you actually do it!
Balurga: Heh, heh heh... How'd you like that? Is that good enough for you, Allfather?
Balurga: He knew it was an impossible request. He was just trying to get me to back down.
Balurga: But I did it anyway.
Balurga: The Allfather took a real liking to me after that. He doted on me like I was his own son—no, even more than that.
Balurga: He called me his "right-hand man" and gave me this steel gauntlet, the Vulcan Claw...
Balurga: Pant, pant, pant.... Damn, they just keep coming and coming.
Odajumoki A: Come on out, little kitty! Ha! Any luck over there?
Odajumoki B: Geheheh! Nope! No dice!
Odajumoki A: Yeehaw! That way, boys! Search over there!
Balurga: Ever since the Allfather kicked the bucket, it's been nonstop sibling squabbles. Sheesh, these guys just don't have any respect.
Balurga: But I don't get it, Allfather... I thought you trusted me.
Balurga: Allfather... Why would you do this to me? Why would you try to get my brothers to kill me?
Odajumoki A: Yeehaw! This way! I heard something!
Balurga: Tch, awfully perceptive for rats.
The whole thing happened suddenly.
Odajumoki A: Gah! W-we're in trouble! The Allfather, he... He got done in by Skull!
Balurga: (Wh-what? There's no way that's possible.)
What reaches Balurga's ears next is even more shocking.
Odajumoki A: Hmm, but get a load of this! Turns out we've actually got another traitor in our ranks!
Odajumoki A: Geh heh heh! And here's the kicker! This traitor is a woman disguised as a man!
Balurga: ...!
Women are not allowed to join the Odajumoki. Only the manliest of men are permitted membership.
It is a family that transcends blood ties, formed by the ironclad bonds shared between men.
Odajumoki B: Hmmm... Of all the rules to break, who the hell would break that one?
Odajumoki A: What do you mean, "hmmm"? It's obviously Balurga!
Balurga: Apparently the Allfather wrote my secret down into his journal, and now it's been leaked.
Balurga: And that's not all. For some reason, that cruel old geezer wrote the following—
Balurga: "He who kills my faithful right-hand man Balurga will be recognized as the new leader."
Balurga: Pant, pant, pant... That stupid old man! Why would he do this?
Odajumoki A: Yeehaw! This way! The dog's got her scent!
Balurga: You've gotta be kidding me. They even brought a Nord Husky?
Balurga: Heh. Guess it's time to make a stand. These guys will make good fodder for my Vulcan Claw.
Balurga: Aaargh! Damn it! I've got nothing left!
Odajumoki A: Now things are gettin' exciting! Over here, guys! Come get some while you can!
Balurga: Heh... heh heh heh... Guess it's all over for me now.
Balurga: (Oh yeah, it was that Skull guy who killed the Allfather, wasn't it? What's he like, I wonder?)
Balurga: (Whoever he is, he must be one hell of a man. Maybe he knows why the Allfather did this to me.)
Balurga: (Heh heh heh... Oh well. I can just ask the Allfather in person... once I meet him on the other side...)
Balurga: Wha? Who the heck—
Odajumoki A: Yeehaw! We know you're in here! Just give it up, Balurga!
But there is no sign of Balurga—only a handful of customers enjoying their meals.
Odajumoki B: Don't jerk us around, damn it! Hiding isn't gonna help you! If you value your life—
Odajumoki B: Hmmm? Is that... a flying lizard? And a blue-haired girl?
Lyria and Vyrn: Huh?
Odajumoki B: Eeegh! D-don't tell me... These guys are the ones who beat the Ultra Dogsled-Tank Jenkins and the primal beasts?
Odajumoki A: Eeegh! Th-there's no mistaking 'em! They're the ones who drove the Allfather into a corner and nearly wiped us out!
Odajumoki A & B: Gyaaah! Don't think you've won! We'll be back! Retreat! Retreeaat!
Vyrn: Sheesh. I dunno what just happened, but they sure were a rowdy bunch.
Lyria: Hehe, looks like they're gone! You can come out now.
At Lyria's words, a tiny head peeks out from behind the counter.
Balurga: Heh heh! Thanks for the help. You saved my life.
(Captain) smiles and waves a hand, dismissing the whole thing as not a big deal before turning to leave.
Balurga: H-hold up! A real man always returns a favor!
Balurga: Name anything you want! So let me do this, yeah?
  1. You don't need to return the favor.
  2. Return the favor? How?


Choose: You don't need to return the favor.

Balurga: That's fine and dandy for you, but that doesn't work for me! I'd rather die before leaving a favor unreturned!
Balurga: All right, I've got it! Since you saved my life, I'll just have to save yours!
Balurga: Heh heh heh! And I'm not leaving your side until I do! Brace yourselves!
Go to "Continue 1"


Choose: Return the favor? How?

Balurga: Well, I don't have a penny to my name. There's not much I can offer you...
Balurga: But how about taking me on as protection? Considering what just happened, you might not believe me, but I'm actually a great fighter.

And so the mysterious fugitive Balurga joins the crew on their journey.
