Proving Grounds

The ancient dreadnought consulted with the wolf priests, between them it was decided that Ringus showed the leadership and wisdom of a potential priest, however his berserker wulfen quality would never allow him to become a wolf priest. The great company was in need of a wolf priest to help with the new recruits, and it was decided that Rignus would be tested.
Two wolf priests, Rignus, and the ancient commenced the ceremony. The ancient, being encased in his iron tomb, was unable to participate, and only there as a cautionary measure. For if the ceremony took a turn for the worse, Rignus could forever be taken by the curse of the wulfen. Rignus entered a state of meditation with the help of the wolf priests. There he saw what himself as a wolf priest, what he could become, as well as the wulfen inside of him, what he was now. He must overcome the wulfen within him to begin the rest of his training as a wolf priest. To represent the power of the wulfen in Rignus, the wulfen had an automatic 6 for attacks. To represent the internal clash, both the wolf priest and wulfen within him were counted as successfully charging. The wolf priest within landed 3 blows, while the wulfen, attacking 8 times, only landed 2, one of which was a rend though. Rignus saved against the normal blow, as well as against the rending attack, using his invulerable. The wulfen only saved one of the two crushing blows, and was defeated, allowing Rignus to begin his training as a wolf priest, as well as oversee all matters relating to new recruits.

Meanwhile, of the blood claws were rewarded with the rank of Grey Hunter.
Hafgrim, with his power sword.
Knut
Ketil, with a special ranged weapon.
Kari, with Mark of the Wulfen.
Regin, with a Wolf Standard instead of a special weapon.

While, Knud, Vegard, Fafnir and Garin were held back, some were close, and just needed to prove themselves a little more. Their opportunity was closer than they though. The taint of chaos was detected on Fenris, it touched a pack of Fenrisian Wolves. The wolves battled their chaos tainted brethren, and only 5 chaos hounds were remaining by the time Rignus arrived with the remaining 4 blood claws.

Knud, managed to only do well enough to remain a blood claw.
Vegard fell, and Rignus was only able to retrieve his geneseed from his torn remains.
Fafnir and Garin also only faired well enough to remain blood claws, they would have to prove themselves along the next group of blood claws.
