About Garfaulk Sharpstone

To say Garfaulk Sharpstone had a colorful upbringing is a bit of an understatement. A thinker more than a worker, he was able to avoid a life of working in mines, which as far as he was concerned, was perfectly fine. He forged, sure, but for some reason, he never felt satisfied with the majority of his work, despite his peers finding his work serviceable.

Instead, he tried everything else. He looked into magic, though found he wasn't quite as adept as he'd like to be, wasn't studious enough. He trained hard for combat, and while he was heartier than most of his kin, he grew bored on the battlefield, better with a crossbow than an axe. But still, the weapons were... lacking. While he honored Torag, he never felt compelled to fight in his name, and felt it would dishonor him by just going into that life because he had nothing better to do. So he watched his peers grow far better at everything than he was.

Eventually, he took to telling tales of his fellows and their works, their adventures, their deeds. Since everyone loves a good drink, he was able to use his sharp tongue and wit to be everyone's friend. He even would hang out in the mines, letting his voice carry through for those all to hear. Soon enough, for all his eccentricities, they all liked him. And for a while, he thought he had found his future, and was looking into maybe opening a tavern of his own. Until the mysterious stranger came to town.

A figure rolled through his sleepy little dwarven town, there looking for someone who was using the place to hide out. Smelling a tale coming, he went and investigated, curious to see what new yarns he could spin within the taverns. What he found was something else quite different. A small metal construction was the man's weapon of choice, and when he used it on his quarry, it was loud, explosive, and violent. Enamored, he greatly desired to know more-but the man disappeared as quickly as he showed up.

Found with a new sense of purpose, he greatly desired knowledge on the weapon, and learned, rather quickly, that anyone with a firearm like that would have come from Numeria. Packing his bag, he made his way to the country, specifically towards a town he thought he'd blend in well with-Torch. There, he spent quite a bit of time, trying to gather information on firearms, reigniting his passion for smithing for the first time in years. He made three things he was particularly proud of. The first was a simple bauble, created while he was learning to smith once more from some rather rare material-a tiny, twenty-sided little bauble with dwarven runes on it from 1 to twenty.

The other was a pair of metal tubes he was convinced could shoot javelins. Yes. Javelins. Being shot with gunpowder. That's a thing. He was a clever dwarf, sure, but not particularly wise. He knows they may be a bit ramshackle, and they'll probably explode sooner or later. But until then, they'll work fine. Probably.
