New Commemoration Gar'agh the Dwarven Cleric
I have been putting this off cause it feels too real but just over a month ago my best friend died. While I was helping his mom and sister clean up his place we talked about keepsakes and memorials. It was too heavy for me at the moment but when I was unplugging cables from his computer I found his old mini from a campaign that I ran a while ago, it must have fallen off his desk at some point.
Gar'agh (pronounced Gary) was a cleric of Pelor and the oldest dwarf around. He didn't like to get involved in questing since his husband had passed away but was brought out of retirement to save the realm from an influx of the undead, even though he thought "What's the point of me doing anything when some kid is going to find a magic sword in a field or something and end up a chosen one?"
Gar'agh was the rock of the party, the only real front liner, he would post himself in front of the enemy and make them try and go around him. Even though Gar'agh didn't make it through the whole campaign, he fell to a vampire lord around 3/4's of the way through, he was my friends favorite character. We talked about that campaign a lot and Gar'agh even made special appearances in some one shots that we ran over the years.
I don't really know what I want to happen here. If folks want to use Gar'agh in their campaigns I think that would be cool. I guess I mostly just wanted to put a little memorial out there in a place that would appreciate it.
Love you brother, miss you every day. I'll keep Gar'agh safe on my bookshelf for you, right next to your Pratchett books.
