Appearance:

Pirok is a middle aged dwarf, with a large bald head, and a stubbly beard. He's built like a tank, and is a lot broader than he is tall. He stands at 4 feet and 8 inches tall, but has an impressive 6 foot 2 inches width.

Interaction:

If players approach him at his shop, The Lucky Horseshoe, he will welcome them and offer them supplies. If they return, he will ask them what they did with the supplies, and is hostile if they didn't find some way to use them. He will treat the players with respect if they treat him with respect.

Background:

Pirok was born in a dwarven city in the mountains. He was an apprentice smith, and trained under his family. He learned the trade quickly, and earned his freedom in his early twenties. When he was thirty, his city was attacked by an Orog clan. He was drafted into the city guard, and negotiated the defense of the city with the Orogs. The city was ransacked, but he managed to save his family and himself. He made it out of the city with some supplies, and they headed towards his family's mine. Along the way, they were attacked by bandits. While he was trying to protect his family, his wife and daughter were killed. His son was killed in the same fight, and he was badly wounded. He abandoned his son's body, and made a deal with a bandit to heal him and allow him to escape. "The deal" was that he would take the family's valuables to sell, and he would share any profits with the bandits. He took the loot, and headed to Crowthorne, where he opened a shop. He lives in one of the rooms above the store, and has hired some of the bandits that broke into his family's mine to guard him.

Combat / Skills:

Pirok is skilled with a long sword and shield, as well as being a master smith. He's able to create any items made from metal, but only as long as he sticks to the same recreation of a master smith. He has no magic nor healing ability.
