The tale of Lop is one both grim and funny. It is the tale of a talented man who set out on a life of adventure only to discover he had no taste for it.
Lop was abandoned by his family at the age of 4. Left in a gutter, he survived by eating rats and scrounging in trash.
In time he learned how to cook and began cooking for a group of other street urchins. They brought him scraps and he made them into meals. He mended clothes, cleaned discarded blankets and helped younger orphans survive.
At 14, when his orphanage was destroyed in the western region of Tosa during the ravages of the Orcish Open Hand Clan, he became a refuge. While doing odd jobs in a tavern a group of adventurers hired him to tend their animals on an excursion into the Dungeons of Eldomar. This vast subterranean construct was the remnants of the ancient Kingdom of Eldomar.
In time Lop became a regular member of the adventuring company. He tended horses, set up tents, cooked all the meals, leaned all the crockery and maintained the food, healing and other supplies. He coked food but did not butcher or kill animals. He repaired armor and clothes. He received a full share of treasure for his efforts during adventures and between them.
In between adventures he built the first Palace Commons, a tavern of great size.
However, in several years of traveling as an adventurer he never struck a violent blow. He dragged the wounded from conflict and tended their wounds, and a great many other little details in the everyday life of the adventurers. He was a devout pacifist but did everything he could to be useful to his companions.
Then one day he was pressed. The forces of a Hobgoblin king fell on the group and a terrible battle ensued. Many hobgoblins over ran the party and one got back to the horses and their defender Lop. He fled immediately.
The hobgoblin chased him and eventually Lop took refuge in a large tree. The hobgoblin tried to climb after him. Lop swung wildly at the creature and split its head open killing him instantly. The first creature lop had ever killed. He was crushed.
