Thyrik follows behind Hans. At least the wolves wouldn't get them down here...
It likely isn't important because this character is meant to be a short-termer, but I listened to a long podcast on slayers yesterday and it looks like I fell into some common misunderstandings in my character write-up. Primarily: 1. Thyrik's clan wouldn't insist that he become a slayer or even encourage him to. It's considered an absolute last resort and possibly even selfish on the slayer's part since they are leaving dwarven society where they are most needed. Other dwarves would respect the decision once made though. 2. It's more likely that Thyrik is desperately trying to figure out a way to avoid taking the slayer oath. He'd need to find another way to reclaim his honor. Probably the background needs adjusted some. I'm currently preferring the idea that Thyrik is falsely accused under human law (hence an outlaw) but has thus far refused to start attacking people like a proper brigand would since that would only shame him further.
Thyrik moved to go down the trap door. He didn't want the dead thing to already have gained its ground before he was able to descend himself. He'd also prefer to have good stone over his head in dark times like these.
"What are you going on about, manling?" Thyrik asked as he watched Gottfried crawling on the floors. He was starting to doubt that coming to this place had been a good idea.
"Why should we trust an uzkular, eh? What is coming?"
Thyrik runs to help block the shattered door.
Seeing that none of his companions had ideas to finesse the situation, Thyrik opted for a more direct approach. "Out of the way!" he shouted as he lowered his shoulder and charged at the door.
Strength Test:
Absent a better plan by the others, Thyrik will try to smash his way through the door.
Seeing the horseman free of the wolves menacing him, Thyrik races toward the windmill. He can only hope that his dwarven legs will see him there in time.
Attack if needed:
Alerted to combat, Thyrik rushes toward the fight.
Thyrik admired the human's boldness, but attempted to stick to the shadows while keeping up. Mixing the two approaches proved overly difficult however.
"If we know where our enemies are, that's good enough for me. Let's not waste more time."
Thyrik rummages around in the available equipment, glad to have some additional tack on hand.
"Seems trouble is within the borders of Hallt and without. My folk have had little success running from doom. Shall we go to the mill and face our foe in the eye?"
@Hans: maybe Thyrik found you on the road, but figured you weren't worth stealing from?
A dwarf trundled in from the rain, coming up behind Hans. He looked at the murdered human & waited, interested to hear the answer to the big man's question.
Read the recent parts of the gameplay thread. I'm thinking it could work to just have Thyrik show up late for the militia call...not that he's part of the militia (see also: outlaw) but he's sick of being cooped up.
Sorry for the delay. I've got an alias for Thyrik now. Ready to go anytime. |
