Thumpy counts off the names of his companions on his fingers. "I'm with Clovis and Kidlat and Tatsu and Felwyst and Ser and Lia. We're trying to find medicine for the folks back at Falcon's Hollow. A nice woodsman named Milon gave us directions and we found the elderwood but then we got lost. Then I got lost from the others and kept on going west. So have you seen them? I'm really worried for them."
Alone and frightened, Thumpy Ironhands approaches the abandoned monastery. His mood immediately brightens when he hears the sound of voices and footsteps from within the ruin walls. He rushes past the gate with a big grin saying, "oh! oh! Here I am! Why did you guys leave me alone back there?" It takes the dwarf a moment to realize these people are strangers. "Uh ... have you seen my friends? I think they came here looking for ironbloom mushrooms."
I'd like to play my dwarf-fighter character Thumpy. He's a travelling pots and pans merchant who arrived in Falcon's Hollow during the outbreak. He's a sensitve, kind-hearted dwarf who wants nothing more than to cure the town of blackscour taint. I played Thumpy in Lazaro's 4E adaptation of this game. We tackled the dwarven monastery first, then got to the witch's cabin. The game ended there. I really got into the game and would love to continue this adventure.
