[QUOTE="Gray Shade, post: 2638882, member: 32340"] [b]An Overview of Dongle the Dungeoneeror[/b] [i]“Dongle the Dungeoneeror is the best dungeon crawler in all the Three Kingdoms, the Deadlands, and the Sunset Isles. Essentially, there is no better in the world. He is larger than life, but never obnoxious or annoying, always interesting, and always a gentleman charmer with the ladies.

He's earned his position in life, and he enjoys the hell out of it. He spends his non-delving time at The Delver's Den, his inn/tavern that caters almost exclusively to adventurers. It is here that he is able to hear all the latest rumors of treasures to be found, monsters to be slain, and damsels to be de-distressed. He lives in the largest suite of rooms in the inn, tastefully appointed with countless trophies and mementoes of his numerous adventures. Assisting him in his expeditions and minding his domestic affairs is Dongle’s butler and herald, his fence and high-chief of etiquette, Brabinger (rhymes with 'scavenger'), a Bugbear of inestimable merit and class - the epitome of the Gentlebugbear's Gentlebugbear. Far beyond any run of the mill Bugbear or even most highly trained Humans, Brabinger possesses unparalleled speaking skills and a fluent knowledge of most every language. He has a keen appraiser's eye (after all, it is his duty to see that his master is never cheated out of any gold) and exceptional poise and posture. He dresses tastefully but exquisitely in clothes befitting only the best in his position and his master's social standing (an always spotless and wrinkle-free Courtier's outfit) and keeps himself immaculately groomed: his hair (the hair on top of his head, anyway) well-trimmed and slicked back; his nails clean, trim, and buffed; his teeth pearly white; and his breath minty fresh. As Dongle's most trusted servant, he is also the head of The Delver’s Den household staff: Flora and Fawna, the two half-elf maids (who sometimes double as serving girls); the Dwarven handyman and groundskeeper, Willie; Roddy Topknot, the Halfling stableboy (he's a fully grown adult, but everyone calls him a ‘Boy’ because, well, he's a Halfling – and he doesn't seem to mind.); Chef Cauliwonkle Copperpot, the Gnomish Gourmand; Cap'n Morrigan, the retired militiaman-turned-adventurer-turned-barkeep; and Lorelei, the beautiful Elven barmaid.
