Packed, he is at medium encumbrance - mounted or unpacked, he is at light.] [B]Appearance[/B]: Rurik is a 'mountain' dwarf, the stereotypes of which account for about 80% of what there is to say about his appearance and manner. The differences come with his usual attire: an owlbear cloak with [COLOR=DarkOrange]gold[/COLOR] and [COLOR=Silver]silver[/COLOR] opal clasp, and [COLOR=RoyalBlue]royal blue[/COLOR] piping to distinguish his cloak from those of the other heroes of the Haunted Halls of Stonepike. Other than that, and the magical chainmail he bought with the subsequent reward, Rurik is in all other aspects the image of a 4' 2", portly Viking, only distinguishable by his scant reputation amongst those friends with whom he has adventured, if they yet live, and his pack, an assortment of tools Rurik has mostly never used, and may never use yet. This state of affairs is usual and proper among the sons of Hrynnar and Eloisa Axebender; if it can be forged, and used to fight evil, it should be forged, and carried in the backpack of any Axebender son sent surfaceward. [B]Background[/B]: Rurik hails, like most mountain dwarves, from a Clan - Axebender, as alluded to earlier. Rurik's history is the last 49 years of Clan Axebender's history: worship Chennet', make and sell weapons, tools and armor, eat meats roasted over open flame, drink copious quantities of malted beverages, have loud and spirited 'discussions', sleep, repeat. This cycle is broken once in a great while when an Axebender son is sent surfaceward, as Rurik was several months ago, ostensibly to 'gather information' on weaponry and armor for his parents. When this led to his participation in the incidents at St. Feragon Monastery and Stonepike Hall, Rurik, more focused on doing his part to slay evil beasts and hold himself highly accountable to the dwarf/human/halfling next to him on the battle line, neglected to document the information he was sent to gather. Upon his return to Axebender Hall, Eloisa, upon noting next to nothing new in the 10-pound Clan Axebender Journal taking pack space for the purpose, saw to it personally that Rurik contributed his information. In typical 'dwarven-mother' fashion, she forbade him from venturing again surfaceward until every bit had been gleaned and recorded from his all-too-dwarven memory. In time Rurik was allowed surfaceward once again, where he made a new friend and helped to rid a mine of an undead infestation (Fort Knocks). Rurik sold his interest in that mine and returned to the forge and hearth of his Clan once again, where he is currently at work on a weapon for his new friend, a devotee of Hryag named Eusebius. Stat adjustments: +1 to STR at 4th lvl. XP History: 5614 from Fort Knocks 2000 from Monastery of St. Feragon and Feral Smackdown Battle Royale 3350 from the Haunted Halls of Stonepike Craft Points: Rurik is down any number of Craft Points for construction of a masterwork spiked chain, a gift to his boon companion Eusebius. At 5th, with a +9 to Craft:Weap when the object is metal, he would appreciate some help from someone who knows how many Craft Points would have been expended, and how many he might have left. If there is a deficit, Rurik will pay the difference in gold (which has already been decremented 2000 gp for the casting of a Flaming enchantment on the weapon). [/QUOTE]
