[QUOTE="mikeawmids1, post: 8334334, member: 7030604"] [I]Character background written by Paul;[/I] The truth of Endon Took is that he’s a simple cabbage grower on his allotment in the sleepy village of Little Hamm. One day Endon heard the sounds of violence and creeping behind a hedge to spy on proceedings witnessed a human slaying a pack of wolves. The human then staggered away wounded. Endon came out from hiding and picked up the anonymous human’s fallen sword and looked at it in wonder. [I]“Endon has saved us!” [/I]he heard someone let cry. He turned to see a happy band of fellow Halflings running towards him, shouting with joy. They lifted him high and exalted him. Endon tried to protest his innocence – but before he could speak another loud cry went up, [I]“By the Goddess! He’s slain a giant too! “ “What!?!”[/I] thought Endon. How did he not see that lying there? A great two-headed giant was prostrate in the meadow. [I]“Endon Ettin Slayer!! Endon Ettin Slayer!!”[/I] went the sing-song celebration as Endon was paraded shoulder high around the village.[I] “But, but, but”…[/I]. stammered Endon. It was no good. Nobody was listening. Feasts were held in his name. The prettiest girls threw themselves at him. It was getting harder and harder to tell the excitable folk of Little Hamm that there’d been a mistake. Within days, the celebrated folk hero was kitted out in the only chain mail the village possessed and he was ceremoniously handed the bloodied human sword he’d been found with in the meadow and then unceremoniously expelled from the village. He was to go abroad, as their champion, win fame and fortune, and in a year and a day return with that fortune to share with the villagers. It was an anxious and befuddled Endon that trod the path beyond the village boundary – the furthest he’d ever travelled in his life. He looked to the horizon and thought to himself [I]‘who is going to water my cabbages while I’m away?[/I] If Endon thought things would improve at the next village – he was wrong. After a party of veterans destroyed an orc warband and saved the village, Endon was keen to see somebody else get the glory this time. But somebody recognised him, somebody shouted his name [I]“ Endon the Ettin Slayer has saved us all”.[/I] History began to repeat itself. He was lofted high upon shoulders in great celebration. The village elder blessed Endon and tasked him with defeating the larger warband now ravaging the country. [I]“Blesséd Endon will avenge those who have lost their lives or homes at the hands of the marauders”.[/I] Apparently, Endon Ettin Slayer was now sworn to a sacred Oath of Vengeance. How in Fearûn did that happen? [/QUOTE]
