[QUOTE="mistrlittlejeans, post: 5428687, member: 74605"] Yeah, I was wondering about that. If the GM allows it, then I may take an axe and shield instead of the hammer. I rather like both my relationships, so I don't want to give one up in order to have both weapons. Of course, it probably won't be that hard to procure an axe and shield in game, especially if we are delving into ruins. As for character relationships, I'm a big fan. I'll look over the other characters and see what I can come up with. I like the "contracted to lead non-dwarves instead tight, damp, dark tunnels" too. Yeah, after reading the Background Gygax info again, I really like the idea of Aurvang being hired to lead the group into the Caves. He has reason enough to go to the Keep, so why not have some company, especially since his cousin hasn't come back from there. I think that is enough to get started. The question is, was Aurvang contracted by everyone or just you? Ok, I just reread the Dwarf section of the character burner. It recommends a starting dwarf have two Oaths to begin with - one from his past (I think I covered this already) and one regarding the immediate present (why he's in the mess he's in). I think I'll toss out "Battle has made me quick to anger. Ale and my hammer are my only means of release" and replace it with an oath to another character. I don't have any relationships to tie it to, so another player is the best option, and a great one at that. I'm thinking that my oath could be to guide one player to a specific location in the Caves of Chaos, perhaps to the lair of that hyper-intelligent monster you are looking for, or to some other interesting location. The question then remains, why would I swear an oath to do that? Right now I'm thinking that it could tie into my Greed; Another player has hired me to lead them to location X; I've sworn an oath to do so in order to get something I really want. This could be information about Lofar, or maybe an item (dwarven made axe or hammer), or even just gold or Nog. Mmmmm Nog. I can't wait to open the Nogger skill :) [/QUOTE]
