Godrick Grimbow

Ranger

Godrick Grimbow was a high elven assassin rogue who served as a member of the Skallywag Squad. He wore a black cloak over deep blue and purple clothing, wrapping himself in many layers. His face was often obscured, either partially or fully by a similar cloth. He wielded a bow and two shortswords made from Darkstone. As a result of his confinement from Morgo the Maleficent, his left arm was amputated. He spoke dully and without energy, but was especially complimentary of individuals who exhibited a wide array of proficiencies and abilities (unlike his narrowed expertise of sneaking and killing).

Godrick Grimbow served alongside the Skallywag Squad, but he was not enthusiastic about that work. He served Daxar Darkstone faithfully and lent his aid whenever asked. After his adventuring days and the Skallywag Squad disbanded, he primarily sought to live a quiet life without disruption in his home in Clarion Glade. However, the collective failure of losing to Morgo the Maleficent in his first encounter with her left an impression, and he was driven to tie up that loose end before hanging up his bow.

After his prolonged capture by Morgo the Maleficent, Godrick Grimbow was left with draconic influence similar to Otto Ozzley, leaving his skin scaled and sickly (hence the poison breath). He was an excellent assassin, excelling at sneaking and killing, but did not have the same breadth of talents rogues usually exhibit, and stuck to his lane when adventuring.

History

Godrick Grimbow was recruited in the early days of Daxar Darkstone's expulsion from Castle Darkstone the first time. He traveled with the Skallywag Squad, and their brazen, violent nature agreed with him, allowing Godrick Grimbow to be one of several "Skallywags" and operate as part of a team - something he was slow to accept but came to appreciate. Working with others, he found himself especially appreciative of individuals' expertises which he lacked, and which opened up doors never previously feasible for him alone.

After their defeat in 1093 GE, and the Skallywag Squad scattered, Godrick Grimbow fled and retreated to his homeland - Wethucia. He returned to his home in Clarion Glade, and shuttered the windows, shutting off contact with most everyone else. However, that defeat stung and left him moldering. In 1113 GE, he caught wind that the Skallywag Squad was at least partially reunited and headed to Blind Claw to challenge Morgo the Maleficent again, and so he set off.

Godrick Grimbow arrived at Blind Claw several weeks earlier, hoping to scout and reduce the numbers of any patrols or thralls Morgo the Maleficent had around the castle, so he could rejoin Daxar Darkstone and the Skallywag Squad with some dignity. After several days of this, he was caught off guard and swiftly captured. Morgo the Maleficent consumed his left arm, bound him in amethyst, and used her Solithar Shard to create a simulacrum of him, to lure the Skallywag Squad or other groups into the basement chambers and assassinate them, using the newly returned simulacrum of Ereus Sol'ahn to ensure victory. He did just that for the Tremor Chasers, but was caught off guard by the late to arrive Rorax Rorakksu, who cut the evil simulacrum down.

The Tremor Chasers freed the real, partially crippled Godrick Grimbow from his amethyst prison, and he regained his senses. (Leading the Blind)
