[QUOTE="D20Dazza, post: 2302269, member: 4260"] Hi Chain LIghtning. I'm still waiting to see if Grilok is accepted in to the game I've applied for so haven't statted him out yet. Fingers crossed he gets in to a game that's about to kick off, we should be finding out who is in some time today. As soon as I find out I'll be rolling him up and completely statting him (which will impact things like weapons and armour, the game is 7th level so his purchases may have a bearing on his end look). I'll post the relevant bits here as well as in the RG (sblocked). Fingers crossed it'll be up in the next couple of days. In the mean time though he is stocky and tall (6'4"). Since arriving in Sharn he has been labouring for the Cannith family in their foundry. It has been during this time he has picked up the fighter levels. 'Typical' half-orc build. If he gets into this game he will be 4 Druid/3 Fighter. I see the skull sorta like what the bad guy in Highlander (for the life of me I can't recall his name - "It's better to burn out than to fade away, there can be only one") wore early in the movie. Here's a bit more of his story. \mo0om/ Since being in Sharn Grilok has been able to follow several leads regarding the mysterious Belkor, but they've all ended in dead ends. He just wasn't cut out for investigative work. His means were those of the wild, he was more straightforward, more direct. And this Belkor was elusive, and powerful, everywhere Grilok turned there was another red herring. Sure as it would rain tomorrow, Belkor knew Grilok was in Sharn. He knew and he revelled in that knowledge. He toyed with Grilok and there was nothing the half orc could do about it. It'd been three years now since Grilok's shame, three long hard, lonely years. If not for Sithek he would have gone insane, and he wasn't sure if he might not have 'lost-it-a-little'. It became obvious to Grilok early in his time in Sharn that he didn't fit. Well it wasn't so much he didn't, but his beliefs didn't. He didn't feel right in the city, he didn't feel as attuned to his power, he didn't fell like he could 'grow' in his beliefs. It was hard being in Sharn and he had to adapt or die. Grilok managed to find a job as a labourer for the Cannith family in Ashblack . He carried raw ore for the family, ore to fragile to be trusted to the constructs that normally carried out the heavy-duty work. During the day he would work the Cannith foundries, growing in strength, using his determination to regain his stolen heritage, to drive him on, to help him through the hard days. He also had his newfound faith. Grilok had discovered The Traveler. With the Traveler he felt some kinship, he felt a little closer to his roots. There was something about the chaotic nature of the God that appealed to Grilok's wild side. He soon found that he had more than Sithek to comfort him when he was lonely, he had his faith. It was almost two years before Grilok had saved enough money to move out of the Mud Caves. Two years of lugging ore and fighting with the riff raff that occupied the shantytowns that sprawled at the base of the City of Towers. But eventually he was able to save enough money to relocate from the Mud Caves to Deathsgate. A place of opportunity, a place where he would find it easier to get aid in his quest; and a place where he could use his new found strength and fighting ability to keep him and Sithek dry and fed.
