Gorak
Race: Ogre (zombie) Role: Temporary ally — befriended at the Duergar fortress Status: Last seen guarding the fortress (left there by the party)
Disposition: Loyal (to whoever feeds him)
Background
Gorak is a zombie ogre — one eye socket empty and white, rotting and half-frozen skin. He was imprisoned in the Duergar fortress when the party found him. Dekyna (calling herself “Frisky”) spoke to him in Orcish and befriended him.
He was given 20 Goodberries, which partially restored him — and immediately demonstrated his usefulness by biting the head off an enlarged Duergar.
After the fortress was cleared, the party left Gorak behind to guard it.
Notable
- His only real communication was in Orcish
- His loyalty was entirely contingent on being fed
- More effective than most hired guards
