Brup Scale-Slayer's page

Brup is an aging ogre, with tufts of white hair and wrinkled skin. He wears at all times a magnificent suit of plate armor forged from dragon scales. The center plate is made from the shell, revealing the origins of the scale to be a dragon turtle. He walks with a slight limp, and careful observers notice that his right foot seems artificial within it's boot. He travels with an old halfling named Caleb who occasionally rides on his shoulder and is protected by another, smaller set of the same dragon scale armor.

By Brup's reckoning, his life had begun at age 30 when his ogre family kicked him out. He knew there had been things before that, and that they had been fun, but given his new understanding of the world he didn't feel like dwelling on the past. Lonely, cold, and angry, Brup had wandered for many weeks up into the heights of the Tusk Mountains. One cold morning he stumbled over a rise and discovered paradise - a small mountain lake fed by a heated underground stream, complete with a small fertile valley and a large cave. Unfortunately for Brup, the lake was not as undiscovered as it looked, and a dragon turtle watched hungrily as Brup waded in.
Brup was ultimately victorious in the titanic battle, but not without cost. The giant monster had severed his right foot. Near death, Brup collapsed inside the cave. As he slept, strange dreams troubled him. He saw valiant human warriors in gleaming golden armor, fighting to the death to defend their homes and families. Voices spoke to him, telling tales of long-dead heroes and wars fought to save lives rather than take them. He learned a new way of life as he slept, and he vowed that if he should be given a second chance at life he would not waste it.
Brup awoke to a dagger being stabbed into his throat. It was a small dagger, befitting the small humanoid who held it, and it failed to do much more than tickle. Brup picked the halfling off his chest and bellowed "Fear not tiny one, for I am no longer like my wasteful kin. You are safe here at my side.". Not understanding giant, the terrified halfling only heard "Groargh! Urgoah Hrummm!" but that fact that he had not been beaten to a pulp defused tensions a bit. The halfling returned to his small company of refugees waiting outside, and told them that the ogre inside the cave had woken up but not harmed him. An uneasy truce developed, and over the following weeks Brup and the halfling tribe learned to communicate with each other. Brup welcomed them in to the cave to live under his protection, and the Dragonvale tribe was born.
With the help of the eldest halfling, a sage named Caleb, Brup worked the hide of the slain dragon turtle into a magnificent set of armor, which he wears at all times. Brup spends his days patrolling the nearby mountains for dangers, and returns to the tribe on every fifth day for a night of revelry. The halflings have cleaned out the cave and turned it into a proper dwelling-place, and they survive by fishing in the lake and raising a small herd of Aurochs.
