Message: <blockquote data-quote="Presto2112" data-source="post: 2981438" data-attributes="member: 18303">Gerg:  Human male.  He's an apprentice to the town tanner, Shelza, and unmarried.  A very reserved, kind soul, but quite simple in his tastes, Gerg is the kind of fellow who would gladly watch a group of children play for hours, just for the sheer joy of watching innocence in its purest form.  He has, however, had his share of adventure for a young man of his age.  One fall morning, he was hunting with with Golden Retriever, Chub, he found a young woman on the side of a forest path, with a large bite mark on his shoulder blade, apparently from a large spider.  Using some traditional survival training his father taught him, he was able to slow the progress of the agressive venom in the woman's system, and he brought her to his home to convalesce.  Several days later, an older man appeared at his doorstep, looking for the woman, who turned out to be an acolyte druid.  As a token of thanks for the kindness he offered to a helpless stranger, the older druid gave Gerg the gift of companionship, and awakened Chubb.  Then both druids walked back into the forest, never seen again.  Gerg was quite overjoyed, and now the two can be found frequently on Gerg's porch, chatting away the evening.Chub:  Awakened female Golden Retriever.  Since being awakened by the elder druid, the townspeople have been fascinated by the kind old dog that Gerg calls his best friend.  When Gerg is at work with Shelza, Chub is usually in the town square, watching the children play, and watching them like a hawk to make sure no danger comes to them.Shelza:  Female gnome.  The town's master tanner, Shelza is a rather complex individual.  She is an intensely sarcastic woman, but not rude.  She possess the tightest purse strings in town, but is among the first in line to help out townsfolk in trouble.  She works with animal skins for a living, but is a strict vegetarian.  She views her apprentice, Gerg, as a bit of a dimwit, but recognizes his hard work and his kind soul as true gifts to the town and hardly ever says an unkind word to him.  The tavernkeeper, on the other hand, is often the target of her sharp tongue, with food and drink that she considers drastically overpriced for the quality og the meal.</blockquote>
