Fluff

Background

Origin

When Ingot stepped from the fires of The Last Forge, it walked with a noticeably stiff-legged gait. Its left knee joint was defective: slightly twisted with a protruding, blackened ring of flash. But despite this drawback, Ingot immediately set to work assisting Tender with maintenance of the Forge, working to expand and upgrade its residential areas, and helping to repair injured warforged. It felt a strong sense of duty both to the Forge and Daunton as a whole. Ingot spent a lot of its free time in the nearby Great Library, devouring books on all manner of subjects, especially the history of Allaria and the origins of warforged. It also spent a little time observing the other races of the city, cataloging their manners and ways, but remaining aloof.

Following Vulkar

During its readings Ingot chanced upon that the origin and meaning of the rune enscribed on its forehead. It turned out to be an obscure symbol of Eefeystos once used in the Imperium, centuries ago. Intrigued, Ingot began hanging around with local priests and followers of Vulkar, trying to learn more about the god and his ways. These Vulkar devotees, mostly dwarves and smiths, tolerated the warforged. But some were skeptical, regarding the warforged and their manufacture as slightly alien and strange. There were whispers that Ingot was trying to steal secret sacred techniques to advance its race. Others simply thought the warforged to be deluded. The resemblance between the crippled deity and Ingot's knee was noted, but most assumed the warforge had intentially damaged its own knee to curry favor.

So, when it announced its intention to become a cleric of Vulkar, the reaction among the other faithful was equal parts laughter and contempt. Undeterred, Ingot continued its studies and prayers on its own, and within a few years it had gained the power to channel Vulkar's divine blessings. It trained itself to be ready to fight to defend Daunton and the Forge, studying not only the ways of Vulkar but also the combat techniques of one whom it greatly admired: Arek Steelsheath of the Five. It began to practice with the fullblade, one of the weapons she had been known to use.

Mysterious Stranger

Not long ago, a traveler stopped at the Forge. An aged human with an Imperial accent and clothing, the stranger asked to be shown around. As Ingot guided the visitor around the facility, they discussed tools and craftsmanship. The traveler seemed quite learned. Eventually, their talk turned to Vulkar (whom the human called Eefeystos). As the tour came to an end, the stranger pointed at Ingot's defective knee and remarked, "You know, of course, that Eefeystos is also crippled."

"I know that in the Imperium, Eefeystos is regarded as crippled," Ingot responded. "But I believe that Vulkar is not fundamentally defective. Rather, he has a slot which awaits an upgraded component."

This particular notion had not exactly endeared Ingot to the more traditional followers of Vulkar, but the human seemed quite amused. "And you? Also awaiting an upgraded component?"

"Maybe some day. But my knee has so far resisted all efforts to repair or alter it."

The stranger's demeanor abruptly turned grave. The air seemed charged, and Ingot felt hollow, as if the stranger's gaze was penetrating inside its chassis. "I'm not talking about your knee, Ingot. I'm talking about you... What are you waiting for? What do you want to do?"

These were questions Ingot had never been asked by anyone. It had never even asked them of itself) Yet, somehow it knew the answer immediately. "I - I am waiting for... waiting to be upgraded, so that I can find - or build - another forge..."

"Ah..." The traveler seemed to relax. "Ah! Well, that is quite interesting. But I think, Ingot, no one's going to come along and upgrade you. You must improve yourself, yourself! Get out more, see new places, meet people. Let the world be your anvil and experience your hammer. Then, perhaps one day the time will come for you to find - or build - a new forge."

Ingot's mind whirled. In a daze, it barely noted the stranger taking his leave. While confused about what exactly had just happened, it did not doubt the human's advice was wise. Again looking to its hero Arik's history for inspiration, it decided to follow the path of the adventurer. Ingot quietly packed its gear, attached its armor, and swept its chamber clean for what was likely to be the last time for a while. It quietly left the Forge, taking the shortest possible route to the Hanged Man Inn.

Appearance and personality

Age: 10 Gender: Neuter Height: 6'1" Weight: 260 lbs. Alignment: unaligned
Personality: Ingot is naive but not foolish, even-mannered, fastidious, and fascinated with how things (and people) work.
Physical Description:
Ingot's chassis is a utilitarian burnished grey, impeccably dirt-free and well repaired, except for small smudges of soot which it intentionally leaves alone after ritual smithing.

Its scale armor is well maintained and directly attached to Ingot in the warforged manner. The front is painted with a bright golden holy symbol of Vulkar. A long sheath accommodating a fullblade fits into a rotating clip on its hip, automatically swiveling to keep the long weapon out of the way when Ingot sits. Ingot's left knee is twisted and warped, angling its left foot slightly out of true, giving it a distinctive uneven stride that's just short of a limp.

Ingot's eyes glow reddish like the fires of a forge, intensifying to a searing white when its emotions are heightened.

Region

Daunton - +2 Monster knowledge checks and re-roll 1 failed knowledge check/day while access to Daunton library is available

Hooks

• Vulkar rivals (other followers of Vulkar distrust a warforged cleric; may seek to oppose or to test Ingot)
• Mysterious stranger (who was he and what is his agenda?)

Kicker

• Another forge (Ingot "just knows" it's going to find or build another forge... is it right, or did some sinister force implant a false notion?)

Judge Comments

Level 1

Approval 1

Approval from --JoeNotCharles

• Int bonus is +1 (was right in math, wrong in summary - fixed)
• Sacred Flame was missing damage type (fixed)
• Healing Word is a Burst, not a Blast (fixed)
• You might want to note the High Crit property of your fullblade somewhere (also the range of your javelin)
• Great background - I love the way it ties into Daunton's forge

Looks good - I approve Ingot for level 1.

Approval 2

Approval from Lord Sessadore:

Looks like Joe caught all the major stuff. It would be nice to list the skills with an armor check penalty in your Summary, since they aren't just ability+1/2 level, but that's fairly minor.

I approve Ingot for 1st level.

Level 2

Approval 1

Everything looks spot on. 1 approval by Kalidrev.

One more approval by a full judge will be needed and you're good to go!
