Zolf Smith is a dwarven cleric that no longer worships Poseidon. He describes his new religion as "not hope, exactly" and says that he does not know why he can still cast in Violent Reactions.
Description
Personality
Zolf Smith is a wise, but gruff dwarven cleric of Poseidon, and the leader of The Rangers.
As the group's leader, Zolf does his best to keep the group on task, making sure his teammates stay focused and their employers come through with timely payment.
Zolf is older than the rest of the party being somewhere around 50 (essentially around 30 in dwarf years), and has had several careers in his life. He is a religious dwarf, converting after a near-death experience. He does grow to question his faith as events unfold.
Appearance
Zolf used to be a sailor and pirate, and he lost his left leg to a misadventure during his seafaring days. His leg was replaced with a metal peg leg. A rather grizzled, salty sea-dog. Wears cheap off the peg scale armour, and a large brown oilskin coat. Blond haystack hair, green eyes, beard is like a pair of muttonchops that have gotten way out of hand and have been braided.
In combat, he wields a shield and trident (the favored weapon of his deity) and has a driftwood dolphin as his holy symbol.
Changes in Appearance
Loss of second leg in Rock Bottom
Upon returning to the party in Tadaima, Zolf's hair was snow white and he no longer uses a trident
Puncture wound on right temple from spike in Blobs, Spikes, Spiders & Booms. Looks like a bullet wound
