[QUOTE="Krug, post: 765004, member: 2141"] [b]Balarous, the Priest of Beer[/b] [b]Balarous[/b], the Priest of Beer Balarous is a middle aged man with black hair and a thick belly. He has a joyful laugh, and a thick, hearty belch. He wears plain brown robes. There must be few roles as important as that for Balarous. He surveys the taverns of the city, tasting beer, ale and mead. Weekly he will proceed to the city square and give his ratings on which beers are exceptional, and which are terrible. Those that are judged excellent sell out quickly while those he deemed terrible will probably rot in cellars. With his colourful oratory ability and his flamboyance, he attracts a sizeable audience, and his reccomendations are quickly noted down. At the end of his speech he asks for donations so he can proceed with his drinking. To him, protecting the integrity of beer and the palate of the populace is his holy cause. Naturally Balarous isn't very much interested in adventuring, unless it means saving something important to him, such as a shipment of spirits. He has proved incorruptible by bribery or other means. The most important time for him comes right after harvest, when even merchants from far afield come to town and let Balarous judge which is the best brew of the year. Since it promotes commerce, the city Elders are happy to let Balarous continue with this 'contest'. Dialogue bits: "We must constantly battle against the greatest of terrors... the most insidious of poisons... the vilest thing a man could ever taste... BAD BEER." "My friend, Beer is what makes existence worthwhile. Can you drink coin? Gems? I submit indeed that civilization was BUILT by beer. Once some farmer unwittingly tasted fermented yeast, he had to find a way to make it EVERY day of his life. From farms begat taverns begat villages begat cities! We owe it all to this most unhumble drink!" "My church is the tavern and my 'holy water' is the most popular of all!" To his God: "Bulp, drink with me now!" (Before drinking, he pours some beer on the ground in offering to his God. ) --------------- [b]Balarous[/b], Male Human Cleric2/Expert 3, AL: LN Str: 12 Dex: 11 Con: 16 Int: 12 Wis: 14 Cha: 15 Domains: Beer [i]Stats to be cleaned up and done later[/i] [/QUOTE]
