[QUOTE="Isida Kep'Tukari, post: 2996827, member: 4441"] I am Duthayer Coalhammer, paladin of the Rock of Battle. I have been the iron spine of this motley crew, and they have stood in for my clan, strange as that may seem. Longer ago than most of my friends I was born in my clan holdings in the Spine of the World, middle of eight children. Yes, my mother had more than her hands full, but luckily her sisters and my father's brothers were willing to help with her brood. Would it surprise you than many of my brothers and sisters went to the temples? No? Well, unlike some human families, our piety is not false. The temples welcomed us and helped ease the burden on our mother at the same time. My older sister is a skilled healer in Berronar Truesilver's temple; my youngest brother is a stonesinger in Sharindlar's service; but I was called to the ranks of Clangeddin Silverbeard's paladins. My father was a smith and- oh don't you go groaning now! "Every dwarf is a smith, miner, or stonemason, or has family that is!" you say. Yes, that's true. And why not? We live in the richest places of stone and metal, why shouldn't we reap the bounty we have been given? If less of us were smiths, how would the rest of you get your high quality dwarven arms and armor, I ask? Bah! Leave your exasperations behind your teeth. He [i]was[/i] a smith, that I say with pride. Tulgar Coalhammer worked two hundred years in his trade and die sacrificing himself in a hill giant attack. He lived the finest life and died the finest death a dwarf could ask for! I can only hope I bring half as much honor to my clan. I have not the skill in me to work the forge as he did, but I wield the weapons he gave me with as much skill and determination as I have been blessed with. The Father of Battle never appeared to me in a vision or any of that nonsense, but I felt His presence often when I practiced the classic forms of battle. It was the Lesser Lord, the high priest of the temple that sent me to the human lands. "Your skill is great and your words are eloquent. We believe you are the best suited to seek out honor for our clan amongst those outside our borders. Your duty will be arduous, but you will show the great honor of the Father of Battles as well as the honor of the Coalhammer clan. Send us back the tales of your exploits, and go with the blessings of the Rock of Battle." So I went, starting out perhaps small, but by the Stones I have not failed! I fought tribes of orcs and their hill giant masters, I tangled with Zhent slavers in the east, and lycanthropes in the south woods. I earned a great deal of scars and the friendship of these rascals here behind me. None of them can hold their ale, it's true, but the lot of them have stood beside me through hellfire and high water. ~~~ Duthayer Coalhammer will be a shield dwarf paladin of Clangeddin Silverbeard.

But it's workable. Posting rate would probably be, on average, once every other day. I'm going to have an odd work schedule, three on, two off, two on, two off, three on, three off or something like that, so you see where I'm coming from. And no, I've never even heard of this module before. [/QUOTE]
