A Ruzzle in the Shadows...

As mentioned in our previous update, Kujax and Chris joined us as PCs (player characters). Chris (our GM) and I had met with Kujax and Chris on a couple of occasions. On one, Kujax and I thought it would be neat to have the Goblin know Lox, and with that, the idea to have the Goblin only speak his native tongue was born. It’s random chat in pubs like this that adds real flavour to games I find. Something often lost in other games such as MMORPGs (Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games), where developers go to a lot of bother to create languages only certain races understand, only for players to gloss over the finer details in favour of “Phat Lootz”.
So, without further ado, I introduce to you, Ruz and Shadowmeare.

Kujax

Ruz was born into labour, forced into a mining chain-gang from a young age. In his teens, he was given in tribute to Bane, an Orc Warlord from the frozen south, in exchange for a measure of protection for his family. He was once again put to labour. It was then he started to develop minor magic abilities. Turning flowers into frogs etc. He developed a mutual friendship with a Half-Orc called Lox, a fellow slave. Ruz taught Lox his language in exchange for some heavy work that Lox took care of. He was one day ambushed, kidnapped from his slave triad and incarcerated along with a Kender named Hugon, for an unknown length of time. Where he was, he didn’t know. Occasionally, he would be rendered unconscious by way of soaked rag, and waking, still in his cell, weakened but otherwise unharmed.

History:

Chris

Shadowmeare knows little of the outside world. A minor demon, he rarely ventured from his own plane. Shadowmeare became an adapt rogue. A thief of many trades. Times where he would leave would be merely for pleasure, often coming back with trinkets and food he did not leave with, nor pay for. On one such excursion, he was ambushed and captured, being placed in a cell alongside the unusual coupling of a Goblin and strangely quiet Kender. Approximately once weekly he is rendered unconscious by way of soaked ragged, waking with fresh but healed scars down his forearms.
