Tholgar Ironfoe

**Tholgar Ironfoe** was a player character in the Main Party controlled by Dylan. He was a massive dwarf of unknown class. He wielded two large spiked shields to both protect his allies and inflict pain on his enemies.

Tholgar had many peculiarities that might make people think he was not particularly intelligent, including taking a large bite out of a bar of soap when eating with the party.

He had shown himself to be a kind person, such as in Aamir's Encampment, when he loaned his bar of soap to Sobek when he went to clean himself, and purchased a silver headscarf for Saber.

After successfully repelling the siege on Fuerygar, Tholgar gained a reputation as the King of the Dwarves. This title has preceded him in many places the party has since travelled to.

## Meeting the Party

Tholgar met Lusine Vavrad, Saber, and Sobek on the evening of March 21st, 1765, upon exiting the mysterious portal at the Desert Temple. Before anyone could introduce themselves or get a grasp on the situation, the four were quickly thrown into combat with three unknown incorporeal undead, a Dire Ghoul Wolf, and a mummy. The group defeated their attackers without any casualties. Not seeing any civilization around, the group opted to rest for the night.

When morning came, the party opted to head east in search of civilization. After traveling for four days and nights, the group came to a canyon on the morning of March 25th. There, they encountered a Young Blue Dragon and its prey, a Dire Ghoul Wolf. A passing Half-Orc named Aamir Al-Yasin assisted the group in the fight, and provided first aid for Saber and Sobek, whom had been paralyzed. He insisted the group follow him back to his camp, which to which the group obliged. While there, however, they were provided with an ultimatum: Pay for the aid they were to receive, or be forced to work off their debt. The party learned of Aamir's affliction with a unique form of mummy rot that could not be cured by conventional means, and of an artifact in a nearby dungeon that could potentially aid in the curse's removal. The party decides to take on this quest to save Aamir and recruit the aid of the camp in a time of need.

## Death

On June 9th, 1765, the party was traveling to Jormundar via ship, when they had to stop to destroy siege equipment as a nearby Orc bandit-controlled fortress. Initially, the party meant to sink their ships and destroy their catapults. The party attempted to negotiate with the bandit chief by bribing him with bad scrolls. However, when he brought out a child slave to check the scrolls, Saber attacked the chief. The party proceeded to invade the fortress through a secret entrance and begin slaughtering the orcs within. They close the gate to the outside, but eventually the mass of orcs outside break through. While Lusine, Saber, and Sobek retreat with the freed slave, Tholgar stays behind, continuing fighting the orcs in a blind rage. Tholgar fights them off, slaying a great deal of orcs, but more and more keep coming until he is overrun and succumbs to his injuries. It took ten orcs to bring down Tholgar, who bled out on the fortress floor while his friends escaped.

Tholgar was resurrected on June 24th, 1765 in Jormundar.
