Introduction:[]
Hail adventurers, my name is Dughall and conquering the unknown is my job. I've been hired to to explore and log this tower by order of Lord Langenburg and unless any of you have more experience with dungeons, crypts, delves or lairs I'll be taking my own lead. I've spent the last five years of my life personally scouring dungeons, both Cult of Nightmare infested and otherwise. I'm no man of god, I won't be stickin my neck out for anyone who hasn't proven themselves worth the effort. I won't be dragging dead weight with me, dungeons are deadly, twisted, rigorous beasts and I won't be slain by anyone elses inadequacies. That being said, prove to me your value to the success of this mission and I'll make sure you get out alive, each man or woman earns their cut by their action, not by attendance.

He does not know. >Could be considered evil by some, although this doesn't always help is reputation he's known for getting the job done, no matter the costs. |
Exceptional Feats & Fortuitous Moments[]
- Two years ago Dughall was hired to assist a mercenary company with routing out a Cult of Nightmares cell. The casualties were high, even amongst the civilians as even those sympathizing with secret-cultists were found guilty of treason. They summoned a Nightmare in an attempt at pushing off The Realms forces but Dughall proved up to the task. But some surviving townsfolk tell a different darker story of a zealous, black souled man driven mad by the Nightmares he faught who put half the town to the sword before he regained his mind and slew the beast.
