Gryndar Grogslayer's page

He sure did love to sit outside the sheriff's office, leaned well far and back on a weathered old chair - chewing on whatever the youngsters where chewing on at this time of year. Occasionally he would glance down at the badge decorating his tattered beige shirt, as it reflected the evening suns hot rays - smiling for just a second when noone was looking. The young dwarf took great pride in his employment as deputy for Marshall Oswald and often cleaned his badge with an old cloth he kept in his left pocket. Had to keep it sparkly he did.

As time passed in Freedom Town, Gryndar would let thoughts of his unknown family and clan slip into his mind - though he would quickly collect himself when he realized what he was doing. He had never known and would never know his family, as his clan was long dead and gone. Perhaps he longed for his clan, in a sense, though he had accepted the fact that his foster parents where humans and not dwarves. Brynn, Gryndar's fosterfather, had explained how Orcs had invaded his ancestral home when he was but a babe - and that they found him in the back of their caravan after leaving the hold only hours before the invaders arrived. They where young back then, 45 years ago, and he would quickly become teary eyed as he realized he would live on without them for many, many years to come.

Perhaps that is why Gryndar wanted to become a Sheriff. Perhaps a true death by gun or blade would lead him him back to his parents and his clan. He shook his head, "Nay - such thoughts are not meant for a youngin'. and stared down on his badge as he usually would. "There's a duty in these pieces o' metal and a job to be done; safety doesn't come cheap in Freedom Town - but I got the best currency right here." - He twirled his Hand-held crossbow and smirked, clearly enjoying his own skill at such trivial and somewhat childish pastime.

He stood no taller nor wider than most dwarves of his age, his long brown beard had grown full and wild - as had his hair - and he wore it proudly with golden locks and braids. He carried a miner's goggles on his head, keeping his flowing hair at bay. He wore a large belt with an even larger beltbuckle, where pouches and a sheath for both dagger and crossbow hung all proper. His bolts where on his left hip, opposite of dagger and crossbow both. Gryndar wore brown leather boots perfect for concealing a stealer's steps and matching leather gloves. Folk would say the youngling had more the traits of a rogue than a fighter and his sight was keen and true, better than most. "You can tell him a lie and wink at his eye, but aint many can match his wit!" some patrons would often claim at the tavern.

"There be a time and a place for lies, fellar - but it aint here and it aint now - if ye kinna' sport the wit to sell it."
