About Dergosh the Loud“Louder the spell, gooder the spell.” – Dergosh Background:
Dergosh found that his shouting of prayers and battle chants seemed to get Gruumsh’s attention better than his peers, who while devoted enough simply lacked his sheer, magnificent volume. Why, even the Bearclaw warriors (“May they hear no more!) recoiled in terror when he began to beat his war drum, and his own clansman fought with renewed fervor. Clearly fortune favors the loud. His ancestors had never had much notoriety in the clan—or at least not much good notoriety since his great grandfather accidently burned down the chief’s lodge and was exiled— but Dergosh figures to change all that with Gruumsh’s help. He enjoys spells that produce audible effects, particularly sonic damage, and the very concept of a silent spell is pure blasphemy. Dergoth has two prized possessions: First, a custom crafted shield drum—basically a war drum (his bardic instrument) built into the concave backside of his shield— an unwieldy thing that can only be effectively brought to bear against one opponent per round; and second, his well-worn mace that was a hand me down from his mom that she used to keep his dad in line, now used to pound on his war drum and foes alike, its head mottled with various shades of dried blood . His drum is further decorated with rattles, bones, dried pine cones—anything that makes more noise, really—resulting in a -2 penalty to Stealth checks when carrying the shield drum. Additionally, he has the the book that his grandfathered slipped him before being driven from the village, which is nothing more than incomprehensible scrawlings as far as Dergosh is concerned, yet he can't bring himself to throw the thing away [DM's choice as to what this is]. Lastly, after defeating the Bearclaw clan Dergoth’s choice of treasure was, not surprisingly, a cache of thunderstones. Description:
Dergoth has thick, powerful arms, particularly the one in which he wields his mace/drumstick. His chest is decorated with fetishes from his fallen foes, now including a bear claw that pierces his flesh, and his skin is the gorgeous shade of rotting broccoli. His gear is well maintained though certainly not flashy. One day, Dergosh hopes to earn the title Dergosh the Thunderous, but for now he is happy; after all, louder is gooder. Stats:
