Item Backstories
Scale Mail +1 – This suit of armor was presented to Alcar by his mentor Jocelyn at the completion of his initiate training. It is a fine suit of scale mail with scales in the shape of oak leaves. It is known has Thomas’s Armor. Many years ago an elven settlement was threatened by an orc horde. The local cleric of Silvanus wished to armor a ranger named Thomas Swiftshot for the coming battles. Not having the craftsman’s skill to create armor, the cleric enhanced his own ceremonial armor and gave it to the ranger. Thomas fought well in the battles with the orc horde and succeeded in leading the villagers to victory. Since that day the armor has been passed down among Silvanus’s followers.
Maul +1 – This maul was awarded to Alcar after the defeat of the cleric of Malar. The maul is known as the Ramming Stone. The head, though made of metal, was crafted to appear as worked stone. The shaft of the weapon was made of fine hardwood and carved with elvish runes which read the weapons name. It’s making was unknown but stories circulate that suggest Silvanus ensures the weapon serves his faithful.
Travel Cloak – This grey-green lightweight magical cloak was owned by Oswald, Alcar’s surrogate father. Alcar received the cloak after Oswald’s death. Oswald claimed to have gained the cloak in payment for gambling debt from a wizard. The cloak served Oswald well on his hunting trips providing respite from the cold, food during hard times, and shelter when in need.
Gauntlets of Ogre Power – These gauntlets were taken from the body of a cleric of Malar that Alcar defeated early in his career. They appear to be crafted from tanned ogre hide. Alcar thought it appropriate to use the gauntlets against the evil forces that created them. He assumed they were created by the cleric, but knows nothing else of their history.
Heavy Warhorse – A chestnut male this horse was rescued by Alcar from an abusive owner. Alcar run afoul of the horse owner, a dwarf named Grumbac, when a local dryad pleaded for Alcar to aid her in protecting her tree. The dwarf had planned on clear cutting a section of forest to setup a farm. With the dryads help, Alcar convinced the dwarf that his chosen spot was, in fact, haunted. When Alcar searched the abandoned farm house a severely beaten horse was found. Alcar healed the horse and was going to set him free. However, the horse had decided to adopt Alcar as his brother. Alcar accepted the horse’s offer and attempts to ride him only if the horse consents. Alcar uses bit and bridle only in combat allowing the horse to guide itself in casual travel. Alcar, using speak with animals, learned the horse’s name is a thought-image of a horse charging through a thunderstorm and flying through the clouds. Alcar has translated this as Thunderwalker or Thunder for short.
