[QUOTE="Pilgrim, post: 5700385, member: 6680799"] AD&D 1E Lhogan Kael Human 5th Level Ranger He wore leather armor and fought with either a spear and shield, or two hand/throwing axes. When first getting into a fight, he would count coup with a coup stick, before pulling weapons. As part of his enmity towards an enemy, he would always take a trophy. If the enemy was human or especially a tribe of humanoids like orcs, hobgobs, kobolds, etc, he would take a scalp and affix it to the front of his shield for others to see during combat. Once during a raid on a tribe of orcs who had taken up residence in an abandoned elven citadel, he drug off two orc corpses, skinned them in a way that he could wear it, so as to walk into the camp at night to get intel about what was going on inside without being noticed. Over several sessions, the party had been dealing with slavers, who where raiding local coastal villages. At one point the party discovered that a well known, well respected and noble mage from the nearby city was behind with slavers. The slave ships, lead by the mage eventually attacked a town that the PCs had been staying in locally. During the battle the slave leader and the mage managed to escape, with some of the villagers in tow. The PCs followed the ships to the nearest city where they witnessed the selling of the slaves at the market. Lhogan bought two of the the slaves, people from the village they just came from and paid for passage back home. Later, the PCs sneaked into the noble quarters where they found the mage's home and sneaked their way inside. The party was discovered and attacked by the mage and his guards. Through careful strategy, the party managed to kill the guards but the servants fled the house and alerted the city watch. The mage was begging for his life as the party heard the watch storming into the first floor of the house. Lhogan shouted for the other members to flee to a hidden room in the house, which had been discovered earlier, in an attempt to avoid the watch. Lhogan stayed behind to finish off the mage, counting coup with his spear tip, a gash here and cut there, all the while speaking a name of a village person that he knew who had been killed or taken by the slavers. In the end, Lhogan drove the spear through the mage's chest killing him, then turning around and dropping his weapons as the watch entered the second floor and arrested him. He was taken before the lords of the city, where he was sentenced to death in the dungeons. He was led to a pit and pushed in, he slid down a shaft, landing in a dark room below. The room was a long unlit corridor except for a very faint light coming down where the chute entering the pit. It was quiet at first, then he began to hear strange voices, repetitive almost mesmerizing voices in the dark. As the voices got closer, he realized something wasn't right and turned to run in the opposite direction, just as something was hurled nearby striking the wall in a flash of light. In the flash, Lhogan caught sight of an amorphous blob peppered with what looked like a multitude of eyes and mouths of varying shapes. He managed to dodge the creature for a few rounds before succumbing to some of it's abilities and that is where he perished. [/QUOTE]
