Ferrek Silvertarn's page

Most dwarves love crafts. Many of them are quite skilled in at least one form. Some achive great renoun for what they create. Ferrek Silvertarn is not one of them.

Ferrek has always been more interested in taking things apart than putting them back together again. At the age when many of his friends were apprentincing to learn at least the basics of a craft, he worked for a locksmith. Unfortunately, he was a source of endless frustration to his master: He was a genius at opening locks, but had no desire to create them. After one ignored task too many, he was turned out to fend for himself.

At this point, a less principled dwarf might have turned his talents to crime, but Ferrek instead turned to the other traditional trade of the dwarf - the army. As luck would have it, on his first real mission, he was part of a squad sent to push back a minor kobold incursion. This particular tribe of kobolds had devised some exceptionally clever traps, and it was only the newbie's sharp eyes and mechanical talents that kept his squadmates alive. After that mission, Ferrek was reassigned to a special team where his talents would be put to better use. This team specifically focused on designing traps, wards, and other border protections, protecting others from the kobold trapsmiths, and disarming anything left behind when the dwarves left an area or discovered a new ruin.

It is in that last role that the Ferrek has come to enter the Tomb. More interested in the challenge than the fame, he convinced his superiors to send him on this adventure. Having spent decades refining his skills under all types of conditions, he now is prepared to face the most deadly traps known.

Wayfinder (1 @ 0 lbs) A small magical device patterned off ancient relics of the Azlanti, a wayfinder is typically made from silver and bears gold accents. With a command word, you can use a wayfinder to shine (as the light spell). The wayfinder also acts as a nonmagical (magnetic) compass, granting you a +2 circumstance bonus on Survival checks to avoid becoming lost. All wayfinders include a small indentation designed to hold a single ioun stone. An ioun stone slotted in this manner grants you its normal benefits (as if it were orbiting your head), but frequently reveals entirely new powers due to the magic of the wayfinder itself (see Seeker of Secrets page 51).
