I'm enjoying it, but maybe the story needs to move a little quicker. Part of that may have been having the king with us, as a very lawful character, having to wait for the koing to decide what needs to be done can slow things down. Also, I'm in training for a new posityion at work, so my posting might eb delayed a bit.

Thoradin Speaks about Torag's teachings while the group travels, but only to those who are interested, he does not presume to Preach to the whole group

"I would be Honored to Serve our King in this Task, Let me return to my Room, and gather my gear, while my companions decide where we are going."

[ooc]I go back and Pick up any gear I had left in my Room.


Male Paladin, AC 17, HP12, F4, R2 W2

"I Will be your Shield, Sire, what would you have me do?"


Male Paladin, AC 17, HP12, F4, R2 W2

"What Trickery is this?"

Thoradin checks his hammer, to see if there is still blood on it..


Male Paladin, AC 17, HP12, F4, R2 W2

"Aye lad, you have a eye for Stragety.. I'm sorry, I did't catch your names. I'm Thoradin, devout of Torag. Let us speak as we move toward our goal."


Male Paladin, AC 17, HP12, F4, R2 W2

"All good plans, but we can't be everyhere at once. We should locate the Local Commander, and see where we are needed most. Sire, Do you know who is in Command here, or do you have a Diffrent plan for us?"


Male Paladin, AC 17, HP12, F4, R2 W2

Thoradin does the deed, and finishes each orc off, before scanning the remaining area for threats

Perception1d20 ⇒ 7

"They fought well, not as awell as us.. but we had Torag on our side. Is everyone alright?"


Male Paladin, AC 17, HP12, F4, R2 W2

Noticing that there are more Pressing threats, Thoradin charges the Oncoming Orcs, Screaming a battle cry to Torag

"Let them Taste Dwarven steel, and Break upon our Shields!"

Torag is the Father of Creation, He is the Dwarven God the Forge, Protection, and Strategy. But we will Discuess Torag more later, Ma'am, If you're Willing, bnow is a Time for action!


Male Paladin, AC 17, HP12, F4, R2 W2

" Sire, Torag decrees we give no Mercy to the Enemies of our people, but we must also do our best to Protect our people, Shall we question on of these beasts, or shall I put them down?

Torag Moves up the Orcs, and prepares to deliver a Coup de grace, depending on the King's Decision. Also, I have the Supplement that has the Paladin's Code for Worshipers of Torag, I'll post it in my Profile for you when I get a chance.


Male Paladin, AC 17, HP12, F4, R2 W2

Initative1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

"Orcs! foul beasts! FORM RANKS! Shields up front, Ranged in back, Protect the Common Folk, Protect the King!

Thoradin Draws his Warhammer, and moves toward the Frond of the group, putting himself between the on comming Orcs, and anyone who can not protect themselves

Fighting defensively this round, +2 ac


Male Paladin, AC 17, HP12, F4, R2 W2

"Stay close together! Keep your Sheilds up if ye have em!"

Perception 1d20 ⇒ 10


Male Paladin, AC 17, HP12, F4, R2 W2

Thoradin Grabs his Shield, and Runs out the door, looking to help organize an escape to Safety, Using the sheild to block any falling debris from other folk

" Quake! Everyone up and moving, look for a Sturdy arch to get under!


Male Paladin, AC 17, HP12, F4, R2 W2

in the Morning, Thoradin is up before the sunrise, Stoking the Forge, and Preparing for his Morning Prayers to Torag.

"Torag, Bless this Forge, and those who work it. May our Hammers Strike true, and shields never Break"


Male Paladin, AC 17, HP12, F4, R2 W2

Thoradin give polite conversation to those sitting around him, and Enjoys his dinner, however, he is itching to get back to his Avil, and Evening Prayers...

My Fellows, I Have enjoyed your Dinner greatly, but unless there is something Important to be discussed, I'll be returning to my room and anvil, there is much work to be done..


Male Paladin, AC 17, HP12, F4, R2 W2

waiting for the into to move forward


Male Paladin, AC 17, HP12, F4, R2 W2

Giving a Quick glance around the room, making eye contact with Each person in the room, Thoradin takes a step forward

" Greetings goodly folk, I am Thoradin Spanglehelm, Devotee of Torag. Thank you for Inviting me to your dinner."


Male Paladin, AC 17, HP12, F4, R2 W2

"Alright, Point Taken, I'll come now.

Thoradin pats the dust from his travels off, and attempts to run any soot off his face before heading off after the other Dwarf


Male Paladin, AC 17, HP12, F4, R2 W2

" Alright lad, do I need to come now, or can I clean up a bit?"

If given the chance to clean up, Thoradin will Remove his Armor, Bath, and put on his Dress Tunic, along with his Tabard depicting Torg's Anvil and Hammer. Thoradin Straps his warhammer to his belt aswell as his Holy Symbol


Male Paladin, AC 17, HP12, F4, R2 W2

"Aye, only if it doesn't take long. I have weapons and Armor to repair for the soldiers here. Pray tell me, whats this Dinner all about?"


Male Paladin, AC 17, HP12, F4, R2 W2

After a few moments, Thoradin notices no one enters the room, he pats his hip to make sure his Warhammer is there, then slowly Opens the Door..

"Well.. what are ye wating fer? some fan fair? I've got work te do, so don't be wasting me time.."


Male Paladin, AC 17, HP12, F4, R2 W2

"Aye, doors open, come on in'

Thoradin continues to un-pack his Smithing tools, while he waits the visitor to enter


Male Paladin, AC 17, HP12, F4, R2 W2

Still here! enjoying the Banter, If you want to set up a scene, I could be at an Anvil, re-forging someones weapon or something..

Male Paladin, AC 17, HP12, F4, R2 W2

Thoradin is speechless for a few moments as he enters the open sky..

"Look at all those stars! they are like the Sparks off Torag's Anvil, I am grateful to have seen this in my life time, I am also honored that our mission will allow many more dwarves to take in this view.."


Male Paladin, AC 17, HP12, F4, R2 W2

"Wizards and their tricks.."
Thoradin says with a smile as he claps Rahkeg on the back

" I'm for takin' em Orcs by suprise. lets stick to the tunnels, perhaps we can capture our artifact and hit them from behind before they know whats comming!"

With a Roar, Thoradin joins the battle

I ready my Warhammer and shield, Fastening the weapon cord around my wrist, incase I need to drop my hammer.


Male Paladin, AC 17, HP12, F4, R2 W2

Thoradin sees the old dwarf's awkwardness, and makes a friendly comment with what you could call a smile

"At ease old one.. I know your magic is strong, and I respect it. It will provide very useful I'm sure, I'm Honored to take this mission with you. Now lets focus on our task, shall we?"


Male Paladin, AC 17, HP12, F4, R2 W2

Thoradin nods, and says a Small prayer to Torag, and moves up by Elyk

"Torag, my life is yours to do with what you wish."


Male Paladin, AC 17, HP12, F4, R2 W2

Before Thoradin reaches the door, he looks back at feldspar, directly into his eyes, with a stern look on his face as he speaks

"I'll not have you speaking Ill of any dwarf's courage, let alone my Brothers. We shall see who has the courage to stand and face the hordes, with nothing but your faith as backup. Actions speak louder than words, I have seen my brothers courage, I have yet to see yours. Untill then, keep that elf-talk to yourself."

Thoradin then turns, and heads out the door, without waiting for an answer

Feldspar watched the others go and then turned back to his map, grumbling under his breath. He needed no advice from Torag; the God had already spoken through the fire that raged in his blood. Orcs were the greatest threat, not Duergar and even brief travel by the Deep Roads would assure passage from the greater danger now that Highhelm had been retaken.

"I'll be here waiting for ta' others to ready themselves. P'raps they'll gather their courage as well as their prayers.

Shame I was gone by the time this was said. ;)

if you are worried about DC saves, maybe try Persistent Spell, "Creatures who saved against a spell must save again"

Persistent Spell:

You can modify a spell to become more tenacious when
its targets resist its effect.
Benefit: Whenever a creature targeted by a persistent
spell or within its area succeeds on its saving throw
against the spell, it must make another saving throw
against the effect. If a creature fails this second saving
throw, it suffers the full effects of the spell, as if it had
failed its first saving throw. A persistent spell uses up a
spell slot two levels higher than the spell’s actual level.
Spells that do not require a saving throw to resist or
lessen the spell’s effect do not benefit from this feat.

" Aye lads, the quicker we recovery this artifact, the quicker we cun get bak to killin' em Orcs. Our brethern about are tough, just like us, they can hold till we return. Once the Artifact is in hand, we will flow across the land like a flood of rightous fury, cleansing the land of thos foul orcs!"

I'll return in a short bit, I need to gather some supplies for the trip. Stone Endures, Brothers

Never the first to speak, Thoradin gives his brother's shoulder a rough, but friendly pat.

"Aye, as much as I'd like to send some more orcish souls to whatever foul Demons they may worship, Elyk has a point. I'd feel more at home in the deep roads, where all you have to worry about is in front, and behind you. We where born in raise in the living rock of the mountains. No one knows it better than us.

Thoradin then crosses his arms and leans back in his chair, waiting for others to speak their minds.

Hello all! Seems like a fun group! Will be fun to game with you Solarious!

Aye! I'm loving the game you're running, the INQ is a ton of fun!

I also have the Dwarves pdf. if needed to reference


Aye lads! lets get rocking!

Hah! I like that, particularly the bit about him being taller and the rivalry. Nice to see we were both accepted, this looks to be lots of fun. :D

Also, do you want to share my shield crest? I've described it in the profile, but I'll give more details here. If you imagine a heavy steel shield of this shape with the same kind of line down the middle. It kind of bears half of two crests meeting at that line - the Spangelhelm one and Torag's. So if you see the warhammer crest of Torag in the campaign setting, it has half of that on the right, and on the left meeting the half of the warhammer is half of a great axe with a wing coming out halfway down the haft. The background of the Spangelhelm crest is silver, and the great axe has a ruby in the middle of the blade which is inscribed with ornate runes relevant to the clan.

Also, I love how our traits match! Both with indomitable faith, and the reflected background in child of the temple and guardian of the forge. It really rings true with the history.

Yea sounds great! i thought about using a dwarven war axe, but I'm too much of a Dragonlance guy, to have a dwarf under the mountain w/ an axe, thats more of a hill dwarf thing.

@Thoradin, sure thing! They're pretty much the same, so we could be brothers with a simple change of name. If you want to adopt my clan that's totally fine with me, I've been mulling over further details for them, so we can fill them out together if you like?

I added this to my profile :-)

Spoiler:

Thoradin isn't as smart, or as wise as his brother Elyk, but he is as charming. While his brother tended to the Temple, Thoradin focused on his martial skills, preparing to protect the temple against any evil that would do it harm. Although the younger of the two Spangelhelm's, Thoradin is a bit taller than his brother, which he has no qualms about bringing up in good fun.
