Frumpledunk Ratkiller, the Baron of Lightning

Role

Chapter 2

Frumpledunk was taken as the pledge of Jinroh, the drillmaster of the
battleragers. For Frumpledunk this is a great honor, not just because of the
position that Jinroh holds, but also because of Jinrohs obvious wisdom and
learning. Frumpledunk knows that he will not fail Jinroh by being a coward or
such, but worries that his combat prowess will not live up to the standards
of the hardened warrior.

Role

Chapter 3

Frumpledunk obviously never had an education, so he can't read or write.
Because of this he needs to use an intermediary for all things that involve
the written word. This is why his note to the village was penned by Ajaol,
and why he knows little of village history, and is endevouring so hard to
learn about it via spoken word. He desperatly wants to learn how to, because
he see's it as a way to distance himself from his past.

Role

Chapter 4

Frump is no coward, but he has great fears in his life. Fear of mages, fear
of rats, fear of failure, fear of people thinking he's useless because of his
height and deformity. Fear makes him angry, and that makes him react
violently, so for frumpledunk his rage comes from his fears. He is quiet
about his fears, but can be drawn out. He knows this relationship in his
personality, and is embarrassed about it, but also recognizes that it is a
strength in some ways.

Role

Chapter 5

Frumpledunk has no idea who his parents were, what his real name is, how he
left the underdark nor how he came into the service of the traveling carny in
which he spent his entire childhood and early adolescence. He does know
however that before he was assigned to the knife throwing act, his bones were
set and his skin was normal, his arms did not sometimes grow or shrink, and
his spine was straight. He was not a to other gnomish folk as a midget is to
humans. He had originally been assigned to cleaning and other manual tasks
among the carny, but eventually he was assigned to Thuelzin, the transmuter
and knifethrowers act. Thuelzin would put Frumpledunk in the center of one
of the rings, and hurl a knife at his head, then unleash a spell of reduction
on the poor little svirf, making the knife miss by a heairsbreadth, or hurl a
knife a Frumpledrunks stomach, and then cast a spell of enlargement on him,
making the knife pass between his legs. The climax of the act was when they
would bring a large rat into the ring, Thuelzin would reduce Frumpledunk and
enlarge the rat, and they would be made to fight. At this point they would be
nearly of a size, but being a tough little bugger Frumpledunk would prevail.
Needless to say, this was not an enjoyable life, but it did have a finite
longevity. The constant strain on frumpledunks system eventually took its
toll, and he was permanently shrunken and twisted. However, the affect of
constant transmutation on his system, coupled with the innate svirfneblin
resistance to magic and constitution meant put his body into a constant state
of flux. Little things are constantly shifting in his body, not enough to
incapacitate him, but enough to cause disconcerting shifts in appearance and
inconveniences to the little svirf.

Role

Chapter 1

Frumpledunk is twice indebted to the Paladin Baldar.
Once for attacking him accidently on the eastern road while he hunted an antipaladin.
And once for Baldar helping Frumpledunk attack the empire when they had the Head.
Frumpledunk takes these debts seriously, as he knows of Jinrohs standard of Honor,
And due to his admiration, jeleousy, and respect for Jinroh, wants to uphold similar standards.
Currently, second to his loyalty to the village and his mission to slay mages,
His debt to Baldar trumps other concerns.
