Screen Shots & Obituaries / Gorm Sveinsson
April 12, 2011, 04:54:03 AM
Massively image heavy, more screens than I thought!
Before he left on his expedition, he made a living raiding the Moonshae coast and enslaving the Ffolk.
I had lots of fun with Gorm, unfortunately I didn't have as much time to play him as I would have liked, nor did I take screenshots of the better moments of his life. Much of the character was taken from Old Norse/Germanic culture, if you're interested, go here. The way he fought, I never got past level 6 until the end. Anyway, here's my multitude of self-promoting screenshots.
Random boast
Gorm thought by ritually defeating and eating a bear he would become a better fighter, ultimately he wanted to turn into a bear in battle. It's what he pursued and what ultimately killed him.
His booze addiction continually worsened, by the end the DC to resist was 31. Becoming drunk on mist essence and alcohol was how he channeled the red fury.
Defeat at the Starwood
Early days with Edraen
Mist quest against giants, we were slaughtered three times before a noble sacrifice was demanded, collapsing the cavern in order to finish them off. Gorm, Jubari and Adrian drew straws. Gorm was selected, taunted the giants to lead them to the death cavern... and promptly got lost, eventually dying to one of the horde that was following him as he struggled to find what he needed to. Jubari had to pick up the slack, alas, dying honourably and taking Gorm's place.
Readying to fight once more after a bloody defeat
Result of fighting giants (With the evil new monster potion drinking scripts!)
Our folly
The sacrifice is decided, poor Jubari took Gorm's place when Gorm failed.
Taunting giants
Post Jubari
Readying for El Gulgotha
Damn women ordering Gorm about
Summoning the berserkergang
Mannichus' lair, after screaming for him, axe drawn, atop a mound.
Loot:
Gorm went hunting a massive dire polar bear, hoping to eat the bear and take its strength for his own. Bringing a skald along to tell of the struggle, they set off in hunt, through hordes of frost breathing wolves, frost giants, ogres and polar bears.
Final stats
Quote from: BackgroundThe obsessed son of a northlander warband leader on Ruathym, when he came of age he organised a longship crew to find new lands and declare himself Jarl of this new territory with his lifelong friend and lover, Bjorn Wavebreaker. Heading south into unknown waters (And possibly the end of the world), they were taken by the mists and shown strange fantastical visions, loosing their minds to it in the process. Decades later, the unaged, bewildered, malnourished Gorm emerged from the mists, his mind somehow clear, to find himself on a strange, impossible island.
Gorm Sveinsson is descended from a line of slavers, raiders, pirates and merchants. Gorm follows the Way of the Bear, or, the Berserk, which he reaches by ingesting a combination of drugs to achieve a state of calm rage and draw upon his inner strength.
Before he left on his expedition, he made a living raiding the Moonshae coast and enslaving the Ffolk.
