Thorgash

Thorgash is a NPC introduced in Arc 10, where he greets Marigold and becomes one of her first friends at the party.

## Description

Thorgash is a Half-Orc and a Paladin of Pelor. Sometimes, the twinkle of the light of Pelor can be seen in his eyes.

Sometimes he can come off a bit intense in first meetings, but really wants to make sure everyone feels welcome and comfortable. He approaches new people a lot and likes making friends.

He comes to the centennial meeting of the necromancer's guild in Arc 10 wearing a full suit with a jacket that doesn't really fit, and a plate armour shoulder paldron strapped over it. Over his back, he has a glowing longsword. He wants to make some new friends there and have some fun, since he does not go to parties often. Despite knowing the rumours about the necromancers, he is not scared, because he trusts Pelor to protect him should someone try to steal his soul.

Thorgash really likes kids and sports, and is a coach for the local little league, from where he knows many of Theodrink's children.

## Backstory

Thorgash grows up on a farm with both of his mothers, and actually does not see any man for the first few years of his life. At some point, Pelor appears to him, at first in the shape of a man, which scares Thorgash, and then in the shape of a woman, which he is more used to.

Even though Paladins usually aren't necromancers, he joins the necromancer's guild about 2 years prior to Arc 10, after Tiffany invites him to. He is friends with her, partially because most people do not like her and he thinks everyone should feel welcome. So, he follows his invitation and joins the guild, even though he doesn't do necromancy. Thorgash thinks that probably Pelor would like him to keep an eye on necromancy, so he does not see that much of an issue with it.

## Character Arc

### Arc 10

While walking to the party, Thorgash meets Marigold, and quickly introduces himself to her, trying to make her feel welcome and trying to make a friend already. He is fascinated by her owlbear cubs, but respects that she at first does not want him to pet them. As the two talk more, and Marigold quickly grows fond of him, she does allow him to carry one of them, and he is overjoyed by it. Later, she even lets him watch over them for a bit while she is away.

When Tiffany stabs himself during the show and tell, Thorgash tries to help the Arc 10 party solve the mystery. He is the one who first realises that the doors are locked and they cannot leave the mansion. Despite being a litte nervous himself, he tries to keep a cool head.

Thorgash knows that Tiffany made a deal with the Raven Queen; it was their shared secret.

Shortly before the final fight, Theodrink dies in the glyph room. Marigold and Bishop first ask Thorgash for help, but he doesn't have a diamond. He is present as Sharon makes her deal with the two of them and brings Theodrink back to life.

After the big fight and Tiffany's death, Thorgash invites the party guests to stay at his mothers' house, since the mansion has become quite uncomfortable now, and his mothers invite the guests with open arms.

### Ranch Sweet Ranch

After the arc, Thorgash, like many other party guests, offers his help to Bishop and Marigold to fix their ranch. He joins their group towards the ranch and helps them close some of the rifts, which have since then turned into portals, while his mothers babysit the children of Theo and Nona.
