A Tengu being followed by a small Boar approach the town gates. The Tengu is wearing old, often-patched rags over his leather armor and is carrying a bow on his back.
Approaching a guard, his eyes and head darting back and forth nervously, he blurts out *caw* Orcs! Many orcs in the forest! *caw* Need help killing the orcs?!?
Closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, he tries again more slowly, I am looking to place my bow at the service of any group that is forming to kill orcs. Can you please direct me to a place where such a group might be gathering?
Here is my two-handed fighter, slightly revised. Please let me know if you want me to change this to some form of cleric.
Umberto
Background:
Umberto is a quiet farmer who lives on the outskirts of town. He is the son of a retired soldier. The farm where he lives belonged to his parents: It was his father's reward for many years of faithful service. Although Umberto himself has yet to serve in the military, his father taught him several combat techniques and he is strongly built. He wears his father's old armor and lion furs. He prefers to fight with polearms and with other large weapons best yielded two-handed.
Umberto is an only child. His mother died when he was young. His father died a couple of winters ago, leaving him the farm. One of his uncles taught him stonemasonry. Umberto uses this skill to make small improvements to his property. According to family legend, Umberto is descended from a nature god on his mother's side. She taught him how to speak with Treants and the creatures of the forest. Umberto has always had a green thumb.
He is highly intelligent. He is an avid reader, especially of mathematical and architectural texts.
