Dwarven Funeral (Dorin Helmsplitter)

[LiAlH4]

I am uncertain if BigX plans on making a screenshot thread to honor one of Ymph's oldest PCs, but Dorin Helmsplitter was given a sendoff after falling in battle. We recovered his body and took it to the Holdfast, where the following scene occured.

Kudos, BigX, Dorin was a great PC. Great job also to Teli Freeborn, Dorin's old pal who hasn't gotten quite the recognition for being the awesome brewer that he was. :)


For your consideration (excuse the nakedness, that should not be like that):

BigX is a grizzled veteran. Most of his PCs don't normally take the spot light but when they do, spectacular things happen:
(Hu'ruuks bear quest and Dorin whenever he is up and kicking. I remember him dealing crit upon crit to the giants)

Nooooo Dorin! The dorfiest of dorfs! How can we go on without you! >.<

The few times I met him, he rocked so hard every time. He could completely steal a scene just by standing still and looking badass. This is what Sean Connery would be if he were a dwarf.

What? Gloin didn't even get a funerary service? AND HE WAS YOUR HONORGUARD!

Kidding, kidding! You guys are doing awesome without me. Now I wish I didn't throw Gloin into that Mort Suicide Quest

Wish could've been there and did Benes Usual Funerally Goodness, but I was a tad too tired ;).

Damn fine work BigX. Only met him a few times, but enjoyed it every time. Well done.

I appreciate all the love folks. Dorin had a fantastic run and was able to be a part of two great incarnations of dwarven factions based at the hold.

I originally made Dorin because my female dwarf Fifi Bloodaxe was turned down for admission to the Hold for wearing make-up, pink plate mail, and blowing kisses at the then dwarven leader Kharst.  So I created Dorin instead to join in the Dorf awesomeness (right before kharst died unfortunately) that was happening. Eventually Dorin became a semi-regular pc for me as I started a run of Stargazers.  Was great therapy to log on with him and crush things after running around in the woods scared as hell of everything while playing a low level stargazer. Lol

Anyway, thanks for the funeral dwarven brothers and anyone else that participated, that was fantastic.  Fitting end for a follower of Clangeddin to charge into a pack of stone giants and go down swinging.  I am sure I will be back with a dwarf in not too long of time. Always have on EFU, one a Stoutheart, always a Stoutheart!

And yes Gloin, you were a complete bad ass!

Best send off for true heroes... sad to see you go. The Dwarven Hold is a really great faction... i strongly suggest you to roll up a gnome or dwarf of any kind... (within reason for gods sakes) always good fun... Super cast of characters on there...

All the best to Gloin, Dorin, Gram, King Dalgad, Bakesman Tendermuffin, damn the whole nine yards, Bartha, Thorgrimm, Thordzan, Archippos, Teli, damn... i hope i dont forget anyone, Durgrim... Seriously awesome clan...

Yes, i also shout out to all the Manus's, what were there, like 10?

Hah, awesome clan, props to anyone i don't know or just barely met... Seriously, good clan...

Thank you all... from gab1 aka incrediblyintelligent...
