Notes 

  • Gisbert Highforge is a Dwarven Fighter who, despite his unassuming gear, is actually a fairly talented miner and blacksmith, owing to his family's name 'Highforge.' He has amassed enough magical reagents and precious cold iron that he was able to forge a magical Breastplate. He also has found and uses a Periapt of Wound Closure, and has a few remaining potions of Stone Giant Strength on his person.
  • Works out of the Dwarven Enclave located in Daggerford. He has made his trade exploring ruins in the Lizard Marsh and the dungeons beneath Dragonspear Castle along with different set of adventuring groups looking for a shield dwarf who was tough, with the added bonus that he could also mend weapons and armor with access to a forge.
  • Favors a war pick, both complimenting Gisbert's extensive training using a pick in the mines, but also an impromptu tool in case some form of excavation is needed, or Gisbert is bored and wants to punch a few divots into the ground.
