Background
and History: When an amusing afternoon social gathering turned
to the topic of deity design and half-jokingly came up with a
Dwarven god of beer and hockey, a cry arose for a prototype Cleric
to said deity to be rolled up and played. This is he: Gutezapre
Coriorx, who ended up becoming the highest level player character
the Dafan game produced; the redoubtable Dwarf with the beer keg
on his back ended up an iconic image of the game.
His career
got off to a fine start; he was the only survivor of his first
adventure. From there, he bounced around from party to party
until he managed to at some point acquire a flying broom, whereupon
he never looked back. Up and down the continent he flew, joining
and leaving parties on a whim and getting acquainted with most
of the significant adventurers in the game. In fact, at one point
he tried to organize an all-star game where characters from various
parties and worlds could gather for a one-off drunken session…all
went well except the drunken part took precedence to the point
that the actual game was never played!
His pride
and joy, however, was the temple he managed to build on the outskirts
of the Dwarven town of Klungdor. This immense underground structure
consisted of a 4000+-seat ice arena with an on-site brewery and
no less than three in-house pubs; needless to say, it became a
gathering and meeting place for player characters from the day
it opened.
His career
was not without bumps. On more than one occasion he found himself
as the front line of whatever party he was in; though willing,
he was not as good at combat as a true warrior, and by the end
of his career his death count showed it. By the time he died
for the last time, he was the second-ranking Ki-piddli Cleric
on the continent.
