About Gronilda
Background:
Gronilda emerged into the world shrouded in mystery in the aftermath of tragedy, born amidst the rubble of a tunnel collapse that claimed her mother's life. The miners, convinced that a guardian spirit had touched the newborn, brought her to the priests of her parents' home in the dwarven city of Kraggodan.
Raised in the impressive halls of Torag's temple, Gronilda's early years were marked by a sense of disconnection, as the divine favor of the dwarven god eluded her, leaving her with a lingering emptiness within the cavernous depths.
Thrust into the chaos of the Goblinblood Wars, Gronilda took up arms alongside her dwarven kin, driven by a sense of duty and the need to prove herself. In the crucible of war, she discovered innate strength, honing combat skills, but also harboring a profound hatred for the goblinoid kin, marked by the fierce battles, but also by the loss of comrades and good dwarves she called family.
Yet, despite the valor displayed on the battlefield, Torag's blessings remained elusive, deepening Gronilda's sense of emptiness. Seeking new reaches in life, she worked hard to become a dwarven engineer after the war, but her inability to secure Torag's favor led to further adversity. When her clan's treasury was looted despite the locks and defenses she had built within, her insurmountable shame resulted in exile, forcing Gronilda to leave Kraggodan and find a new home.
Fleeing her past, Gronilda found solace in the lands of Nirmathas. Amidst nature, she discovered the profound connection the caves did not provide, echoing the call of Erastil, the god of the hunt. Her experience in war granted her a place in the conflict against Molthune and her early teachings in the temple found her a space in Old Deadeye's church. Finding guidance in Noelan and Rhyna, she established herself in Phaendar, recently obtaining Erastil’s anointing, recognizing her as a true priest of the Stag God. Now, with newfound purpose, Gronilda stands as a beacon of Erastil's teachings, ready to defend her new home from whatever danger might emerge.
Appearance:
Gronilda, a robust dwarf of average stature, bears the marks of a life shaped by the forge and the crucible of war. She dresses her gray hair in a more care-free manner than most dwarfs, with only a couple small braids recalling her origin. Her weathered face is marked by a long scar inflicted by a particularly wicked hobgoblin during the Goblinblood Wars. With hazel eyes reflecting both resilience and determination, Gonilda stands ready, a fusion of veteran marked by war and a devoted priest, prepared to face the challenges of the Ironfang Invasion.
Observable personality:
Gronilda has a new found interest in falconry and has been training around Phaendar.
Also, she is into gardening and her house has beautiful plants and a small field for edible ones. There is a corner for tobacco plants too, a small vice of her.
She has a scar a particularly terrible hobgoblin left in her cheek during the Goblinblood Wars: Scarred
The same events have left her always looking for danger: Seeker

FeatsBreadth of Experience, Cleave Traits Frontier Healer (campaign): You make your way in life by putting people back together after the rigors of the world take their toll—brewing herbal remedies, setting broken bones, and treating diseases. You gain a +1 trait bonus on all Heal and Knowledge (nature) checks, and one of these skills is always a class skill for you. Any time you restore hit points using the Heal skill or a cure spell (but not with channeled energy, lay on hands, or a magic device such as a potion or wand), you restore 1 additional hit point, plus 1 for every 2 class levels you have beyond 1st.
Deadeye Bowman (religion, Erastil): When you are using a longbow, if only a single creature is providing soft cover to your target, your target does not receive the +4 bonus to AC.
Scarred (drawback): An injury left you horribly, visibly scarred, making it more difficult for you to hide your true face, and also making most people distrustful of you merely due to your appearance. You take a –5 penalty on Disguise checks and a –2 penalty on Bluff checks.
Seeker (social): You are always on the lookout for reward and danger. You gain a +1 trait bonus on Perception checks, and Perception is always a class skill for you.
