Hrothgard sighs a bit overhearing Stern’s invitation. The thought of another relative stranger joining them does not sit overly well with him. But, of course, he trusts his Brother Stern and therefore his judgment.
Hrothgard smiles to Caris and squeezes her hand. “Seems we have company to meet…” he says as he stands and takes her hands offering to help her up…
June 3, 2016 at 2:28 pm #1820Pro: Better for planning and attacking as a group.
Con: Worse for defense as a group as that can be a lot of damage before it’s our turn again.Personally, I think the pro outweighed the con. I preferred it that way. Seemed to also make it easier to keep track of when your turn is and, perhaps, that helped speed things up.
Overall – thumbs to to the group initiative from me.
May 3, 2016 at 8:27 am #1786“Heroes…” Hrothgard repeats with a smile, leaning back and kicking up his feet a bit. “Heroes are a mere matter of opinion, good sir. A hero to one is a villain to another. But Heroes, we have been called, yes.”
Hrothgard takes a long breath, slowly nodding, and sipping from his flask. “But yes, the rumors you speak of… are sadly true. Plenty of activity recently. Many big battles we’ve been in of late,” he pauses for a moment. “More than any of us would like, I’m sure.”
“But the true hero of late…” Hroth continues “is this beautiful lady with me.” He smiles proudly over to Caris. “She deserves the lions share of the credit...” he beams at her, knowing he’s putting her on the spot.
March 30, 2016 at 11:51 am #1761Hrothgard laughs and smiles and extends a large hand to the man in introduction.
“Hrothgard Skaldurr. Pleasure to make acquaintance, sir.” Hrothgard says respectfully, with a nice, genuine smile, as they shake hands, Hrothgard then climbing the few steps up onto the porch and turning, offering his hand to Caris to help her up as well…
March 25, 2016 at 8:11 am #1732(( DM-Man and Caris – I’m putting the second part of my thread entry here as it over-lapped. If either of you want to move and separate them – feel free! ))
…Hrothgard finally makes it to his destination – to the the cottage they all share that Evon allowed them to live in. He spots Caris and Evon there and he smiles as he approaches them.
“Hroth! We were just discussing marriage! Come. Join us.” Evon says. Hrothgard jokingly backs away from the conversation to a round of laughter as Caris rises and greets him with a hug and a kiss. “What brings you down?” she asks him.
“I felt like I needed a night out on the town. A night with people and conversation… and drink!” he laughs. “…and… I could use a good date and a great guide…” he says with a wink to them both.
March 25, 2016 at 7:58 am #1731As Hrothgard walks away from his home and begins down the hill, he stops, turns, and smiles at his place. A place where he can feel at one with the great mountain. Where he can also look over Fan Lu as the Great Fang Quiang does. Where Hrothgard’s own spirit can bond all the more with that of the Great Spirit of the Mountain… perhaps his spirit will becaome a part of the Spirit of the Mountain? He chuckles to himself a bit and shakes his head at his boyish dreaming then turns and heads down the road, into the large city.
He is stopped and greeted by a few passers-by who Hrothgard always stops and speaks to; answering questions of his new rock-home on the mountain and of his groups many great victories. One barkeep brings him in for a few drinks on the house, just to have him in his establishment. He is sometimes treated as a celebrity now… and he relishes in it!

January 21, 2016 at 11:50 am #1691Hrothgard watches all the fanfare with a slight smile. Taking it all in. Nodding at each person he passes. He leans over towards Caris, with a smile. Rotating his head around and enjoying the feel of his worked over neck muscles and circling his loose-muscled shoulders…
“I could get quite used to living like this…” he says with a deep laugh, sitting back up straight and enjoying the scenery.
December 11, 2015 at 9:09 am #1673Hrothgard continues dancing and flirting with his favorite Punk-Rock Monk. Whispering to her as they dance, both of them laughing. Mostly lost in their own little world, though still aware of much they are being watched, and giving them a show. At one point even sharing a kiss… much to the delight of the onlookers.
Hrothgard smiles and winks to his companions as he sees them, letting out a mighty yell and cheer as he sees Caris take to the dance floor with her partner.
“Save me a dance for later…?” He smiles to Caris as they pass on the floor sharing a laugh together.
December 10, 2015 at 7:17 pm #1665Hrothgard continues merely staring blankly… drunkenly for a moment. His head falling as if struggling to stay awake. He stares… and stares… for a few long, quiet, even awkward moments.
“BAHAHAHAHA!” The large warrior finally lets out a huge belly laugh.
“You, my friend… are… without any doubt… the strangest and most entirely interesting man I’ve ever known!” He laughs more. “Usually you speak not much more to me then ‘leave me be’ or ‘leave the speaking to those more enriched with in the art.‘” he laughs doing his best Grey impression… albeit not a very good one. “Yet now, here we sit… together… late… drunk!” he laughs “and these heartfelt questions of life’s journeys arise.” he says with another laugh. Grey’s face never changing. Merely allowing the warrior his moment to put his thoughts to words.
Hrothgard stares off at the fire again. His laughter subsiding. The smile fading from his face. A look of true honest thought crossing his brows. Another long moment of silence. This time not nearly as awkward.
“There is not much that I want for, brother.” Hrothgard begins in a low, calm voice. Sounding perfectly sober now. “People strive for love. I’ve all the love I need with my family. My companions.” he pauses. “As for… more… physical love… I see no shortage of that either.” he says with a shrug. “People strive for riches. I’ve no need for anything beyond comfort. Gold does not interest me much beyond its necessity.” he says still looking straight forward to the fire, pausing and shrugging.
“To leave this world a better place when I someday exit from it, than I found it upon my entrance…” He nods slowly. “That. That my brother… is what I wish for. To be known as one who helped the lands. As one who lived boldly so that others may live freely. To be known as one who stood for what was good and right… To be… known.” He looks to Grey now. “That is all. To have my stories be told… and in good light. To have young boys say they wish to someday be like the Warrior, Hrothgard Skaldurr… and to have those words fall on welcomed ears of their parents. This is all I can ask to achieve from my time here, my brother…” he concludes, staring to Grey, nodding his head slightly.
December 10, 2015 at 3:52 pm #1652Hrothgard smiles and takes her arm. “It would be my honour to dance with such a lovely lady.” He says as he escorts her a short way away and learns the steps quickly enough, with a few definite stumbles along the way. The regulars laugh as he stumbles but he takes it all in good stride and laughs at himself as well.
December 10, 2015 at 1:23 pm #1634Hrothgard stands off to the side quietly taking in their customs and traditions and trying to show proper respects to them all. He watches with a slight smile tapping his foot and head a bit with some of the music and dancing. Not mingling, though making eye contact and nodding happily to all passersby, making himself open and approachable should anyone wish to speak to him. Otherwise merely taking it all in, and leaving the business to those with better minds for it than he.
December 9, 2015 at 1:21 pm #1626(( Just reposting mine AFTER Jeff’s because it seems to make more sense there, as we both posted simultaneously…))
“Sorry I’m late…” Hrothgard says in a low deep voice, finally emerging, dressed in perfectly polished armor. Nobody having seen him all night. “What are we working on here” (( Sorry guys – been a cray-cray couple of days!)).
“Where were you, Brother?!” Caris asks almost harshly.
“Well… you may have noticed my attendant was… quite beautiful, and….” He begins before Caris interrupts him:
“Stop. Don’t need the details” she says with a chuckle.
“The bathing process took some time” he smirks and winks at Caris. “I was quite dirty, as it were.” He says with a pause and a grin spreading across his face. “Turns out… so was she” he whispers to Caris and laughs as he sits next to her.
“HROTHGARD SKALDURR!” Caris scolds him, trying not to laugh.
