Back to Against the Giants 4e

Created by andreww

Mordekai was born in a small town in the back end of beyond. As a child he always had his head in the clouds, dreaming of bigger and better things. It was why he left his first tutor in the arcane arts to head to Greyhawk. Everyone said the city was paved with gold and the Wizards Academy was the most advanced outside of The Great Kingdom. Of course the fees were exorbitant and he had to borrow heavily to pay them but it was worth it.

Things were good, for a time. He learned fast and showed considerable talent. He applied himself to his studies and even showed an interest at the local shrine to Boccobb. Then things began to go downhill. The loans he took out to cover his fees never seemed to be paid off and he become well known at some of the more expensive gaming houses. He was never shy of work but somehow his spending always seemed to exceed his income.

Owens call to arms came at just the right time, especially as some people had begun to mutter about dodgy dice, mind reading and alleged precognitive skills. Taking discretion as the better part of valour Mordecai decided to answer the call. After all, no-one was likely to follow him all the way to Gyruff over a miserable few thousand and in a few months he could head back to town and clear his debts with the wealth of the giants. A bit of travel might also do him some good and how difficult can a few giants be when Owen has an entire army behind him.
