Shattered Honor – Part Eighteen
Chapter: Season Ten
Characters: Ufgren
I almost didn’t give Ufgren a name (or use it in the story). His head injury at death and his centuries wandering the ruins of Honor’s Hold alone taking it from his mind. I think it is an interesting story note, but it was just a little too sad for me in the tone of this overall story. This is a one shot from Brett, and if this was a longer stretch, maybe, but in the end I decided to dial back the tragic origin of Ufgren.
I think the fact that he sometimes forgets who he is, and where he is, or where he’s going is tragic enough. Also, coming from a guy who named a character No-One, not naming a character can get … confusing, even in a one-shot, and especially more in a longer shot.
I really like where this going, though. Keep it up. 🙂
That last panel though. Damn.
If you didn’t name him …. c’mon, these are SF/F nerds. One of them WOULD have taken a page from C.S.Lewis, and named him “DLF” (for Dear Little Friend, the Pevensie’s nickname for Trumpkin, the dwarf they rescued at the shore near the ruins of Caer Paravel).
You know they would! And still might, anyway!! 😀
There’s a 90% chance the PCs would have named him Ghosty McSpookypants anyways.
Ghosty McGhostface
I sure hope that’s sand or something soft that hand is raking through – if it’s stone… Here’s to hoping that the restless dead are the kind that has to be virtually pulverized to quit. Having a party fighting dismembered parts grasping, clawing, nibbling, elbowing et cetera is really horrorshow.
Alternative titles for Ufgren if he couldn’t remember his name:
• Ghwarf
• Dwhost
• S-haunt-a Claus
• Ol’ Floatin’ Forgetful
• The Miner Four-Foot-Niner
• ZZ Top Half of a Dwarf
The Mother of the Dead rules this halls…
Still exist Goblinoids and/or Dragonfolk (As Dragonborn or Kobold). The only one is the Lizardfolk are created by the God of Theivery and Murder.
ooh! I have the chills from this page! I can’t wait for tomorrow’s page.
Spelling – first panel – last bubble “who’r” should be “who’re” unless that was intentional
loving the vibes from this one shot
Burg’s bein a little WRAITHist..They kinda hit a DEAD END I doubt they have a GHOST of a chance with out this guy. Hey at least the group will be a little more SPIRITED now. *rimshot*
Well said.
His motives do seem very TRANSPARENT to me.
Here’s hoping he can get them out of this GRAVE situation, and get Annabelle back on Dwayla’s trail.
Dwayla just won’t exSPECTRE this time! 😀
*glances around, then runs for the exit!*
