Mental characteristics
Personal history
Born a gruff and tough Khazadur Dwarf, hired himself out as a body guard in the streets of Helkirk and sometimes muscle for dungeon crawls when needed.Discovered an ale so smooth he fell in love with it, Darksap.
The taverns and bars of Helkirk could never keep the stuff in stock due to the creator, Yaztromos rules on selling it. Only one keg per person in their lives.This made the brew costly and rare,which made him realize he needed to go to the source.
He Ventured over the Craven hills to Yaztromos tower where he convinced the mage to let him purchase a keg.
When told the rules, he blindly accepted and gleefully took the keg back to his home in the city.
Within a few weeks he was unable to control himself and drank all of the spoils.Knowing that you can not force a wizard to go agasint his wishes but wanting another keg, Gurni consulted a wise drinking buddy,a priest of the Great church.
Over cups of inferior ale, they discussed the contract made by the wizard. A flaw was spotted,a plan was made.The two drinking buddies returned to the Tower and into the Darkenwood.There it is said Gurni perished but the priest was able to bring the body back out of the woods where he performed a long ritual that would return him to life, albeit in a random way.
The magic did work as he returned in the shape of a sour looking forest gnome female.
Gurni returned to the wizard and asked for another Keg,it is said that Yaztromo was so thrown back by this gesture that he agreed for him to purchase another keg but also that he could purchase them when ever he had the gold.At a catch, Gurni could only drink it when in the Darkenwood forest, saying that since his soul was released there, he would forever be apart of the woods.
Now Gurni is seen once and awhile in the Great City, buying supplies and such, but he lives along the edge of the Darkenwoods now and sometimes seen going on walks with the old wizard.
