Chapter 3

After eating the head off the cook in front of his whole platoon, Girf did
not wait around to see what would happen. He wasn't sure where he was going,
but he sure knew where he wasn't staying. And, he knew he would never put
himself somewhere where someone told him when he could and could not eat.

He spent the first few months of his newfound freedom inadvertently
terrorizing the countryside in an epic quest to stuff his face. He stole pies
out of windows, ate livestock whole, stormed into houses and ate the entire
contents (often including the residents) and, in general, gorged himself into
his current state of obesity. These were good times.

Though finally free to eat whatever and whenever he wished, Girf did discover
other challenges. For one thing, doorways were now too small for him to
squeeze through without a lot of effort. He usually broke them trying.
Likewise, furniture smashed to bits beneath his bulk. Mugs bent when he
grabbed them and he tended to consume dishes with the meal. His weight was so
great that his feet burst through floorboards. It seemed whatever he touched
broke. Girf was becoming impossibly large for civilized life.

That was the first inclination a life in in the wilds of Thera might be for
him. When he learned of the Outlanders of Thar-Eris he knew immediately the
Refuge would be his home. There were two primary reasons:

1. The food is better. Girf prefers fresh meat to all other things. The more
raw and bloody, the better. The more food is cooked and preserved, the less
Girf likes it. (Remember, he didn't like the preserved rations in the army.)
Being able to harvest fresh meat from any woodland is a great boon to the
Being able to harvest fresh meat from any woodland is a great boon to the
always-hungry Girf.

2. Freedom. To Girf being a supplicant of Gluttony is about more than just
eating. It's about being free to consume whatever makes you happy in
unrestricted portions. Girf hated the regimented life of a soldier. He
relishes the Freedom found in Thar-Eris.

Girf figures if he can bring about the Rise of Thar-Eris that will mean more
Freedom and more Food. He is dedicated to being an excellent Reaver in all
aspects.

If Girf was happy to hear of the Outlanders, he was positively elated to hear
of Morius and the Priesthood of Gluttony. In fact, such was his delight that
a minor earthquake was reported in Galadon as he skipped his way down the
path to Morius' church for the first time.

Just as he consumes so is he consumed by being a Priest of Gluttony. He
fancies himself something of an evangelical. He believes that Glutton saves
and preaches its good news to any who will hear.
