Ilmuk, the Yeek Archer

"Tell me, Ilmuk-how did you come to be here?"
"All of it? The whole story?"
"The whole story, Ilmuk. And tell no lies."
"I would never-"
"You would very well lie were it to protect your precious way! Now speak before I remove your tongue from your skull!"
"Y-yes sir! Of course sir!"
"'Sir'. It will do for now. Begin, Ilmuk."

"A point to spare, eh? Risky."
"I'm sorry, but I have not even begun to tell-"
"Then speak. I will not ask again."
"Murgol. It began with Murgol. I was tasked with slaying him, the beast of the depths."
Murgol Lair 1
"It was dark, and cold underwater, there. The shores of Rek... There is nothing more beautiful. But Murgol's Lair was not full of the pure water of the sea, only the brackish, fetid wastes of the putrid creatures that live within. Even the animals within are despicable, horrid creatures under the sway of his power. So the first thing I did when entering? The eel that menaced me had his mind crushed, sworn to give his body for the Way in my defense.
"It was weak. Meant to serve."
"Exactly! Its mind was feeb-"
"You are weak, Ilmuk."
"Yes... Yes sir."
"The story, Ilmuk."
"I fled. The eel was of no use as an ally, being slain by a dragon turtle, and one of the yaechs ambushed me the moment I rounded a corner. But they are cowardly, refusing to leave the waters they call home, so I was able to rest, recover my strength, and return with the force of the Way bringing them to serve me. His mind was mine, his body a weapon against the creatures that had menaced me before. I slew more, and scavenged their equipment, but it was tainted. Psionically grotesque, so I destroyed it."
"With the chest."
"Of course with the chest. How else should I? How else would I?"
"How do your brethren dispose of the refuse they find?"
"..."
"The story, Ilmuk."
"I found the way down soon. There was more of Murgol's Lair to explore, but the less time I spent in that damned place the better. I went down."
Murgol Lair 2
"It was darker here, but there was a light at the end of the tunnel. More Yaechs, of course, but the light was a relief all the same. There were two, though soon it one was with me."
"You enjoy it."
"What?"
"Taking them as your own. Ripping the will from their body and forcing your own into it."
"The will of the Way."
"Ha. Believe what you will. Now the story, Ilmuk."
"Three more Yaechs awaited me, but I could feel my skill with the bow growing ever greater as I shot at them."
Level 2: +2 Dexterity, +1 Willpower, +1 Steady Shot, +1 Flare
"The missing point returns."
"I don't understand."
"The story, Ilmuk."
"But what-"
"The story, Ilmuk."
"I... I carried on, finding and slaying yet more Yaechs. And then I... Then I..."
"Then you what? The story, Ilmuk."
"I died."
