Day 3: Proudest In-Character Moment #RPGaDay
Krusk a generically named male half-orc ranger had the best moment for me this year. Krusk--like many half-orcs was the product of a sexual assault. Krusk's Orcish mother, whom he never met, had her way with his human father forcibly and after the gestation period left him on his father's doorstep. He grew up to be an outland ranger who made his living by hunting and selling furs. All the while he hoped to find his long, lost mother. Father, who was a meek accountant, did nothing to dissuade the young Krusk as he and most of the townsfolk felt the less they saw of Krusk the better. That was all background when he hooked up with the party they ended up finding a Drow stronghold. Through a series of unfortunate events Krusk developed an Oedipus relationship with Lolth herself. He started performing rituals every night and getting more and more strange. The party eventually fought with two mummified female thralls of Lolth. Krusk dropped to his knees and refused to fight. Instead he took one of the mummy's hands and placed it over his heart. The DM decided to fuse the characters creating a hybrid Drow/half-orc female...who became known as Krusktina.
I held on to her as a PC for one more session. The remaining party members were willing to continue adventuring with her and gave her a turn at watch when we set up camp. When they woke up all of their items were gone, the two dwarves in the party had their beards sheared, and the tiefling wizard was in a state somewhere between life and death that to this day we haven't been able to fix. The DM made Krusktina an NPC, and I had to roll up a new character after that madness. We've run into her a couple of times since then, but currently she is still at large. It was strange that in a year when transgender issues were all the rage, that we ended up having a transgender/trans-race character and I assure you we weren't even trying.
