Role: Recruiter for the arenas of Gruumsh — dead
First met: Session 1 Recap - The Baronet’s Commission
An orc so huge the party first took him for an ogre. He wore metal gauntlets and carried a spear and shield. At the foot of the stair he was shouting for converts to prove their worth in Gruumsh’s arenas.
- He called Thalan “worthless.” Thalan hit him in the jaw, and the orc’s bare-handed answer glanced off. Elunia’s imp stole his holy medallion.
- He swore Gruumsh would find them, and did: he ambushed the party in a dead-end alley with self-scarred, frenzied berserkers, a spellcaster who worked through his own blood, and a slaver with a chain of captive pilgrims. He paid the goblin guide, apparently for leading the party there.
- He died in Elunia’s darkness, pulled apart by tentacles. His last words, to Sandy: “Help me, you dishonourable fiend! I don’t mind dying, but not like this!” No bodies were left.
- Unresolved: what became of the chained pilgrims.
His crew
Searched in Session 2 Recap - Three to the Dawn.
- Most of what was left were low-level acolytes of Gruumsh, carrying his emblems.
- Two were not. One wore his hair in the knots of the The Nameless Ledger, Varys’s old masters. The other had a tattoo on the inside of his wrist: two short lines under an arc. The party couldn’t agree whether it was a smile or a frown, and nobody recognised it.
- Between them they carried twenty gold. Elunia took back the medallion of Gruumsh.
