This Gnome can often be encountered on the road, scurrying here and there. The amiable little fellow is warm and chatty, but a little secretive. All he’ll tell the PCs is that he’s on a vital mission, and needs to venture a long way, but he wishes them luck in their ventures and trundles off again. Curiously, the PCs will run into him again, and again, with chances to save him from certain death, and with him able to free them from a trap they have fallen into. Each time, the odds of running into him are even rarer- they’ve ventured across a desert for weeks, and run into him in the one oasis within a hundred miles, or they’re deep in the territory of the enemy, and find him scurrying through the brush. What they will eventually realize is that little Dombar, kind-hearted, loving, and loyal Dombar, truly is on a vital mission- he’s essentially a PC from another campaign. His own campaign, much like The Lord of the Rings. In his story, he’s vital to stopping some awfulness happening, and although his path may cross that of the PCs, it is his quest to finish- they’re merely special guest stars in his ongoing story. They will see his growth from an inexperienced Gnomish pumpkin farmer to a brave and strong-hearted survivor, and have the chance to influence and guide him on his path to true heroism. They’re not meant to complete his quest, but he certainly needs a hand getting there. (Originally posted on Game Masters Stash on 21 July 2018) Categories All Comments are closed.
