I posted one of my favorite Fantasy Hero characters, Mung, on my web log a while back, and thought some fellow Hero board visitors might want to take a gander.
Here's the URL: http://robcrogers.blogspot.com/2005/08/character-of-week-mung.html
And here's an excerpt from his background to whet your appetites...
"Gray-skinned Tarmyk Firebristle was reputed to be the most taciturn and stoic of Khazak minstrels, if not the most skilled, yet even he was known to lift a calloused hand to his leathery cheek and brush away an unashamed tear when he related the tale of the fall of the Harralind Mines. The story sat heavy on Dwarven hearts, and was generally reserved for the gravest of occasions—funerals, visits of states, times of war, and nights when the listeners were all already very, very drunk."

The link is bad, but on the subject of Dwarven Monks, Killer Shrike once threw a Dwarven hand to hand fighter at us called Kantabbot who was monk like in his abilities, and he was awesome. Later on Shrike told me he named him that as a combination inside joke \ homage to Tank Abbot, the UFC fighter from back in the day.
In fact, we've seen a lot of bareknuckled Dwarven brawlers of various sorts over the years. Seems to be one of Shrike's standard shticks.

I've noticed some trouble with the site, but please try again or hit refresh or something. It seems to be working again.

Sounds like fun.

Here's the explanation. The site should be good to go again. Anyone who drops by, be sure to let me know what you think.
Thanks!
