Doigan, Son of Gluiran, is an aged dwarven warrior and a faithful doorguard to his King and Lord. He once knew the adventuring life, but retired more then seventy years and fifteen grandchildren ago. He loves to hear stories from those who've seen more than the same corridor recently, and although he'd never violate his Lord's trust, he can be persuaded to share a little more than he should, if someone spends some time with him and gives a little exciting story. His knowledge is sometimes a little out-of-date, but occasionally useful regarding types of monsters and their weaknesses, or what kind of help to seek.
How you can use Doigan, Son of Gluiran, in your game: - Doigan can make for an entertaining guard if the PCs are asked to wait for an audience with his Lord. He initially maintains a stony and stoic silence, not even flinching if people yell or scream. He might, however, be persuaded into a chuckle with a particularly entertaining or dirty story. He might even be tempted to reciprocate, if it's impressive enough. This will usually endear him to travellers, and especially if they need to come back at some point, Doigan may be a memorable point of contact for them again. - If some kind of corruption or affliction has beset his Lord, Doigan may seek out the PCs for advice or help. Although his oaths compel him to silence, he may be able to hint at just enough to prompt them into action, without out-and-out saying that there's a problem. - If Doigan himself is threatened somehow, his skill at arms is impressive and won through decades of experience. However, he's getting on, and he's had years at a stretch of standing peacefully at guard, reducing his fitness considerably. He might be tempted to call upon his favourite visitors if he has a chance. Also posted on Game Masters Stash on 6 May 2021. Comments are closed.
