It is becuase of this and many other resons that Fat Glab and the Gut Stomper Tribe hate Gresous Goldtooth and his newlaws for his kingdom. In fact Fat Glab has displayed many times his hate for what has been done to the Ogres by Gresous. Also thier way of life is in danger becuase now the normal caravan take servral times a year are now protected, this means that most of thier supplies are gone along with thier trade with the Chaos Dwarves. The tribe will be able to live off the land but soon chaos will ensue as the ogres can't live as farmers, maybe hunters but soon a thier bloodlust will get the better of them.
To make matters worse the sacerd icon of the tribe, a golden idol of the avatar of the Great Maw has dissapered. Many in the tribe see this and all the other events as a omen that Fat Glab has ruled long enough and challanges are daily for him which is slowly whittleing the tribe away, and others see it as a time of thier doom or disfavour of the other ogres thereby telling them to rebel against Gresous which would end in disater. But Fat Glab was rescued weeks later when one of the hunters Jer the Lonly (Also know as Jer the Lonly Beastkiller Thieffinder Beasttamer Giantdeath the Skinny; the Skinny part of his name being a insult and was given to him when he was exiled) came back with news that he found the trial of the thief and where it lead, to the current camp of the Obsidian Curse. Quick to act on this Fat Glab marched his forces out of thier valley home partly from "holy fury" and partly becuase his people needed a fight both to entertian them and raise thier spirits and this seemed the perfect opertunity
The Gut Stomper Tribe moved at a quick pace and cuaght the Obsidian Curse just as they where about to leave Empire terriotory and attacked. The first fight was vicious with the ogres coming out of the mountians yelling at the top of there lungs (and stunning many of the not perpared men) and rammed head on into the warband. This was a large and bloody fight but one that the Gut Stomper Tribe was loseing and Fat Glab reluctantly retreat when oppertunity persented itself. In this battle the Slaughtermaster of the tribe a particually fat and disgusting ogre called Gutnorgans was slain by Jouriun, if Fat Glab wasn't really in a "Holy fury" he was now as this was the tribes only slaughtermaster and Fat Glabs favorite cook. So now the inraged tyrant has sworn his vengance agianst the warband vowing to at least eat one man and one demon to make up for there loss, but much more if he has his way.
Fat Glab took the ogres from his band and went into the ogre kingdom and found a valley that he liked, its location was great right next to the silk road, and to Chaos Dwarf territory (with whom Fat Glab had frendly relations with having been hired by them many times)and the valley was very furtile and able to easly substane the new tribe all that had to be done was take it. Wanting as little damage done to his ogres of his new tribe as possible Fat Glab stole a number of slaves from Dark Elf raids, Slavegiants, and Gnoblar slaves to make a large slave army. Fat Glab used this force to help take the valley from the small tribe that currently had it, thus his name Slavestealer.
The new tribe enjoyed itself stealing from any caravan that came by without one of its tribesman as a mercanary. The tribe feasted often and where well equipped by their Chaos Dwarf friends tradeing slaves and some other things useless to the ogres for equipment and some fine food. The tribe belived all its good fortane was due to a icon Fat Glab had found that they all belived was a avatar of the great maw, so they where all furious when it disapered.
Fat Glab was furious it was said that he started eating Gnoblars at random after he found out. Luckliy for all Jer the Lonly came with news about the icons whereabouts and Fat Glab instantly acted on it althought he did more to give his tribe a fight and someone to blame the disaperance on. But when they arrived they where almost out of control with zeal.
So becuase of this all Fat Galb did was let them loose and the results where disaterous. In the end the bigest problem was that thier one and only Slaughtermaster was dead and this turely steamed Fat Glab and if he wasn't turely feeling zeal he is now.
When the idol of the Gut Stomper Tribe was stolen Jer the Lonly decided to track the thief easily finding his trial. Jer the Lonly followed the tracks to the camp of the Obsidian Curse and Jer the Lonly immediatly returned with the news although Jer the Lonly explianed his doudts about them, thier was no way the tracks of the thief macthed the tracks around the camp and sometimes he was sure that the thief wanted to be followed. Despite his adivce Fat Glab went to war with the Obisidian Curse and the Slaughtermaster of the tribe was killed which was a great lose. Also in one battle Snowstrider Jer the Lonly's compian and only sabertusk was killed by Siegmund so Jer the Lonly has suffered great loss already.
Now Jer the Lonly is determined to find the real thief and now Jer the Lonly is sure that the Obsidian Curse isn't responsible for the idols dissaperance. He will find the real thief, for the tribes sake and for Snowstridder he will not stop.
