Background/History

Milo is a Halfling. He’s not a barefoot Tolkien Halfling. He wears boots, thank you very much. Yes, he lives in a hole in a hill with a round door, but he’s never heard of a Hobbit or a Hin. Just as many Halflings live in the big city as in the countryside. The whole Halfling thief thing is just a myth, most Halfling are trustworthy folk…like Milo He’s a cleric.

 

Milo’s story started in his teens. He grew up on a farm, stood to inherit a prize piece of land, and had a great girl who just agreed to become his wife.

è And that’s when strange events changed his life forever. Local livestock began to disappear. Skeletons walked the fields at night. And his girl ran off with a gnomish necromancer.

Milo would not stand for this, and joined the nearest temple (belonging to the Halfling deity of agriculture and harvest). After learning a few spells (and before his training was complete), Milo charged out after the dread dead menace. He found not a single necromancer but a cult that worshiped undeath.

 

Knowing he had little hope to take them on his own, Milo sought out the local Lord (a human paladin, by the way), who lead his men against this temple of evil. In the battle, Milo met and killed the gnome…who just happens to be the son of a high priest with the cult. A blood feud has been declared against Milo. There was no sign of the girl.

 

Heartbroken, Milo bid farewell to his parents and began a wandering adventurer’s life. He can’t take a parish for fear that the cult will send an army of the dead and hurt those under his care. So he was given the title of friar and set lose to help those in most need. Milo’s superiors have granted him a lot of freedom. Currently he is the only adventuring cleric the Harvest deity has. As such, Milo is bringing a lot of attention to the Halfling Pantheon, and has been granted the Right of Shelter at any Halfling temple.

Personality/Motivation:

Milo does enjoy helping famers. Between adventures he will sneak out and bless fields, charging nothing more than a hot meal or a soft bed for the night. He loves to find a poor area and surprise the locals with a tree bursting with fruits and vegetables of every type, ready to be picked.

As an adventurer, Milo does his best to support the party. For some reason, most expect him to be a thief. But he is forgiven when he starts casting his speed boosting spells, or bringing in armloads of food every night.

 

Quote:

 

Powers/Tactics: Milo did not finish his training, He never did learn to Turn the Dead. He’s spending time at every temple studying, and hopes to learn this essential skill soon.

He prefers to open with an entangle, as it take no damage from attacks. When it comes to evil, Milo has little mercy. Smite and be done with it, that’s his philosophy.

 

If he has a chance, he will try to cast his speed boosting spell before the battle. After he learns to turn, he wants to find a few more boosting spells like a plus to STR.

 

Campaign use:

If the players own a farm Milo may want to bless it. He considers such acts more a part of his purpose than mere adventuring.

Appearance:

Milo is a Halfling. Handsome and athletic, he runs faster and is stronger than most other Halflings. Farm work and adventuring will do that to ya.
