Stringle

STRINGLE was Gruntan Kurdley's captain in the Brownrat horde. Stringle was usually the one to lead the horde in a charge, because Kurdley was in the back of the horde, eating eggs. Stringle originally led a charge that resulted in the death of Luglug and another against Vizka Longtooth and his Sea Raiders but the only captive he acquired was Vizka's second-in-command, Magger. Meanwhile, Gorath the Flame in the grip of the Bloodwrath charges through the camp blindly and causes destruction. Kurdley proceeds to order Stringle to get him the badger's skull. Stringle is successful in cornering Gorath and Salixa on a small plateau, but the horde suffers casualties when the Guosim shrews arrive, in vengeance for Luglug's death. The shrews as well as some otter, Mad Maudie, and Rangval the Rouge help reinforce the badgers. Vizka offers help in taking down the badgers but an indesicive Stringle refuses to commit to anything. While he is pacing worriedly Luglug's son, Osbil, shoots an arrow down from the plateau an d kills Stringle.
