Berg Wurdnowwah
Description
Orc fighter, heavily armored and hard to move past. Speaks Common, Orcish, and Giant; proficient with smith’s tools and dragonchess. His entire fighting style is built around the people beside him — Distracting Strike opens enemies up for allies, Bait and Switch pulls someone out of harm’s way, Rally puts HP back in the fight, and Interception lets him eat a hit meant for someone else. He has a dragonchess set in his kit and knows how to use it.
Personality
Efficient. Does what needs doing without announcing it. When Berg speaks Orcish to a skeptical orc warrior, it’s not a performance — it’s the shortest path to the outcome. Accepted a vial of red snake oil as a “speed potion” from Dr. Medicine and has not yet asked any follow-up questions.
Relationships
- Party: Alina Shandorath, Dr. Medicine, Roaring River
- Kaarsk: Developing mutual respect — the only outsider Kaarsk treats as a potential equal
