Son of Son of Friday Night Fights!
Another disproportionate character; however, this time deliberately. I like the funky pants.
Warforged: The Brick
Close-up
Backstory
Warforged is one of Vulkoor’s Eyes. He is the raw muscle that obeys without question. Late in the last War, Vulkoor’s spies had managed to bribe a corrupt wizard and an unscrupulous builder. He insisted that they build him an army of Warforged. They built one with the intention to use him to destroy the scorpion god. Their plan failed; however, they managed to destroy Vulkoor’s foundry.
It is rumored that Vulkoor’s Warforged is an unholy construct built using the corpse of a Treant and dwarf iron. Though the height of a tall human, his strength and endurance rival that of a small giant. He is intelligent enough to understand strategy and risk. However, he lacks the will to act independently outside of combat. Though he has no mouth, he is able to vocalize. His voice sounds like someone talking into a tin can while sitting in the hollow of a tree.
Warforged was built specifically to serve Vulkoor. Unlike the other Eyes, he does not conspire, he simply does what he is told. He likes Nibin, the derro, and the drow Heretic. Both are able to make repairs. He wonders about King, who breaks from the main attack to fight on his own. To Warforged’s focused mind, that is a lack of discpline and failure to grasp tactics. He believes that the Illithid takes frequent looks into his mind. As if Warforged can “feel” the Mindflayer’s presence. Though he makes nothing of it.
