Rhun's Greyhawk ALPHA Campaign - ToEE

MAP POST 2

The stone wall around the Temple compound are mostly broken and thrown down, but enough intact to take cover behind, though they would not effectively impede someone trying to come through it.

There is a grove of Usk trees immediately north of the Temple Proper.

A broken, shattered tower is at the northeast end of the compound, where your company previously slew many bandits in service to the Temple.

A completely ruined stone building sits northwest of the Temple Proper, just past the Usk grove.

Appearance: Those who meet Ragnok for the first time are struck by the fact that this rather tall dwarf keeps his beard and moustache trimmed very short. Curious.

[sblock=Background (WIP)]Five hundred years ago the hero Korim Drakeforge founded a settlement on the slopes of the Yatil Mountains, fighting off orc raiders and a ravening dragon. Thus was Clan Drakeforge established.

Four generations on, the Clan, though respected, is still "new", and so marriages have been few. As a result the Clan remains small, numbering only twenty-two members. But now, its number has been reduced by one. The Patriarch's eldest son is feared dead.

When Ragnok heard of his brother’s disappearance near Hommlet, he decided to go there, to take vengeance on his brother’s slayers - if, indeed, he was dead - and, if possible, to find his remains and return them to the Drakeforge halls.

But his father wouldn’t hear of it!

Ragnok wasn't yet of age to take leave. He didn't want to lose another son. Small enough were the Drakeforge's numbers. In such manner the Patriarch forbade Ragnok’s quest.

After dialogue, discussion, and argument, showing the strength of character (or "stubborness") typical to the dwurfolk, Ragnok cut his own beard (symbol of dishonour) and didn't deign to speak with his father until he was spoken to. So passed a month...

The month over, his father didn't speak to him, but one day, early in the morning when the msts still ed, he came to his -now- eldest son. With an expression halfway between severity and grief, he gave Ragnok his axe, the same one he had carried during his time as a warrior. Now as patriarch of the clan, the axe served only symbollic purpose, now it will serve to protect the family once more. On the masterwork's handle the father's name is carved in dwarven besides Ragnok's, both flanked by the clan's mark: a flaming shield.

The track was already cold, too much time had passed, and most innkeepers have the memory span of their guest's stay. But Ragnok carried on, until he arrived at Chendil. The same day he arrived to the city, some men approached him with a proposition he couldn't refuse, he was to depart towards Hommlet with a group of people, with the purpose of investigating certain rumours of evil in the area. Actually, Ragnok would have refused in a first stance, considering it a clan-only affair that he was in. But upon a second thought, he remembered his brother's combat mastery and wariness... and yet he is no more among the living. On the spot he kneeled, raised a loud prayer of gratitude for this help sent to him by The All Father, and accepted the quest without further doubting.

If this evil was the same to take his brother, be it warned that Ragnok Drakeforge will uproot it and haul its body to the Forge![/sblock][sblock=Treasure gained]

Armor Mastery (Ex) Coraine ignores the movement penalty from medium armor.
Aura of Good (Ex) As a 1st level cleric.
Bulwark of Defense (Ex) Any opponent that begins its turn in Coraine's threatened area treats all threatened squares as difficult terrain.
Knight's Challenge Coraine uses the force of his fighting spirit to manipulate foes. Even if Coraine lacks a shared language with the foe, the challenge can be issues. The following challenges can be issued:
- Fighting Challenge +1 (Ex): As a swift action, Coraine can issue this challenge against a single opponent. If the opponent has a Int of 5 or more, a language of some sort, and a CR greater than or equal to Coraine's level -2, he gains a +1 morale bonus on Will saves and attack and damage rolls against the target. The ability lasts 8 rounds. If applied against a non-valid target, the ability is wasted. If the opponent drops Coraine to 0 or fewer hit points, Coraine losses 2 uses of his knight's challenge. If the duration expires, Coraine can choose another target only if the first is inactive.
- Test of Mettle (Ex): As a swift action, Coraine can issue this challenge against all opponents with 100 ft within line of sight and line effect. If the opponent has a Int of 5 or more, a language of some sort, a CR greater than or equal to Coraine's level -2, and fails a DC 15 Will save, they must attack Coraine with a ranged or melee attack (or include in the effect of any ability) in preference to any other target if the opponent chooses to attack. Affected opponents do not attack mindlessly. If anyone else attacks an affected opponent, the effect ends for that opponent. If dropped to 0 or less hit points by an affected target, Coraine gains an extra use of knight's challenge (he can only gain one use this way).
Shield Block (Ex) Coraine may designate a single opponent during his turn; his shield bonus increases by +1 against that opponent.
Shield Specialization (heavy) +1 AC with heavy shields.
Shield Ward Adds shield bonus to touch AC and bull rush defenses.
Smite evil (Su) As part of melee attack, Coraine may add his Charisma bonus to the attack roll and deals 1 extra damage per paladin level.
Divine Grace(Su) Charisma bonus (+3) to all saving throws
Lay on Hands(Su) Heal 6 hit points of damage w/ Lay on Hands

Coraine is tall, tanned, square-jawed, and intense. His honey-blonde hair is cut short and his beard well-trimmed. He has grey eyes, stands six feet tall, is is roughly 185lbs. He is 17 years old.

Background
Coraine is the son of a hero. He knows it is true because no less a personage than the king himself told him so. Bralen Vagrius was a paladin of the Invincible One who led a vital attack against the forces of Iuz early in the history of conflict between the two countries. He and a small force of Heironean warriors broke the siege of a small but vital outpost town, at the cost of their own lives. The action enabled a major victory in the ongoing hostilities against Iuz. Belvor IV, touring the battlefield, came across Coraine and his mother Tilina as they mourned Bralen’s loss. Tilina had had a premonition of disaster, which drove her, against all advice and importuning to the contrary, onto the battlefield, dragging her four year old son with her.

It was here that Belvor found them – the woman keening and rocking the dead knight in her arms, the boy wide-eyed and with tears streaming down his face. The king knelt in front of the boy and told him to dry his eyes, for his father had died a great hero and was surely enrolled in the ranks of the Invincible in heaven.

“Be brave, and faithful, and serve our God, just as your father did, and he will be proud of you – and you, too, will be a hero.” And that is just what Coraine has sought to do ever since.

Cries the announcer, the crowd roars from the stands as the champion stands in the middle of the arena, one hand tightly closed up in the air, his other hand hold his blood covered spiked chain, one foot step on top the lifeless body of a leopard, around him lies 2 dead hyenas
Zirat Igruf, Champion of Kord!
The announcer continues as the fans throw flowers into the arena.

Zirat, champion from the arenas of Chendl for the last 2 years and loved by all, the one who killed lions, wolves and slave goblin chiefs.
Now it's time to leave the fame of the arenas and the fans, and receive the fame and glory from leaders and kings, Zirat decided to retire from the games and dedicate himself to the "church" of Kord.
