About KhazakDescription:
Khazak stands 4 feet 4 inches tall and weighs in at 199 lbs. He is not overly muscled and moves with surprising, almost elven, grace. He is relatively young for a dwarf at 68 years of age. He has red hair and light blue eyes. He wears his beard in a triple braid down the front of his chest with various small ornaments woven into it. Somebody who was familiar with such things could read that more or less like somebody could read military insignia today. If they did they would realize that Khazak had established an excellent reputation as a ranger, scout and marksman. Khazak wears his breastplate armor over his explorer's outfit. He also has an "H" shaped shoulder harness system that he has attached to his weapon belt to help him carry stuff. He wears his repeating heavy crossbow with one crossbow bolt case loaded into it slung over his right shoulder when he doesn't have it ready. He has 2 pouches on his harness system on the front of his chest that each hold one crossbow bolt case. In addition he carries two more crossbow bolt cases in the equivalent of cargo pockets, one on each thigh. Khazak wears his war axe on his weapon belt on his right hand side and his morningstar on his left hand side. He carries a dagger more or less concealed in the top of each boot and has a handaxe thrust through the middle front of his weapon belt. He carries his chakrams in a special case/holder such that he can pull them out one at a time by reaching back over his left shoulder. His spell component pouch, with some holly and mistletoe to serve as divine foci, is carried on his right hand side by his war axe. His backpack seems to be relatively full but doesn't look as if it weighs that much. When Khazak is not in an area where he is expecting combat, he keeps his sniper goggles in a pouch by his morningstar. Anybody who was familiar with arms and armor could tell at a glance that Khazak's breastplate, repeating heavy crossbow and war axe were at the very least of masterwork quality. In addition to just looking nice, the breastplate armor has a tendency to draw shadows to itself and mute sounds in its immediate vicinity. Background:
Khazak had been part of an elite long range reconnaissance unit based out of a small dwarfhold on the frontier. Khazak and his unit had been on an extended patrol in the Darklands when the dwarfhold was attacked by a large orc horde. Though the dwarfhold did not fall, it was a costly victory and the decision was made to abandon the dwarfhold. When Khazak and his unit returned they found their base deserted. The unit then proceeded to the closest dwarven city where they reunited with most of the survivors from the dwarfhold. However, the dwarven city did not need the unit's services as much as the smaller dwarfhold had, and only a few of them were able to join the ranks of the city's reconaissance unit. Khazak ended up as one of the odd dwarves out because the city's unit already had enough trap detection and sentry removal specialists thank you. So, with not much else to do and a desire to improve the world in general by removing a few orcs from it Khazak set out as an adventuring mercenary for hire. Ability Scores:
