History

Dug is a male grung who lives deep in the marsh land. Even amongst the grung, Dug is a odd ball as he tried to befriend with “foods”: birds, rats, and squirrels. All of his friends (critters) die a painful death after touching Dug poisonous skin which Dug interpreted it as the world rejecting him. His unusual actions are looked down upon by his other tribe members so he lives seclusive from them.

One day, he was swimming and soaking in the swamp until he hears loud croaking from the tribe huts, he decided to leave his fun time and looked for the noise. What he saw was a scene out of nightmare, his fellow grungs stomach are cut opened and lay dead. Several humans wearing cloaks and white robes were storing their poisonous sacks/glands in rag bags. Dug felt happy for a moment seeing how they got what they deserved for calling Dug weird yet his heart was filled with rage. He decided to stealthily took some humans out using the trees as cover. Each poisonous kills provided him with ecstasy as bubble foam build up from his victim’s mouth. As time went on, the humans noticed some of them were missing and they searched for the perpetrator. Dug was caught but was able to escape with minor injuries.

After recovering, he decided to venture out from the swamp to the nearest human settlement to find the humans who kill his tribes. However, he avoid kill human without reasons in town because he knows it will make him getting chase down again.

Currently in the Story

Dug followed a dragonborn named Darakhas because he never seen one before and ended up in-front of a tower with a circle of magic that prevent noise and deity power. Upon entering, Dug split up the party and climb up the side of the tower wall finding more humans and that is where he met his current deity that he follow, Silent. They have an awesome combo called "Silent Takedown" where Dug would grab unsuspecting people from the window and throw them out of the tower and circle where Silent can easily finish them up. If he somehow failed the athletics for grappling, the poison skin will apply a poison condition so it's unavoidable death. Meanwhile, the party fought 5 clerics trough the death, was able to deactivate the silent circle and met with Dug (who have killed 6 human cultists by his own). Upstairs, they found an obsidian dragon egg where he tried to snatch before anyone realize sacrificing it to Silent as a thanks and pact for more future cooperation in killing humans. After some argument, the group continue to top where they found a dragon called Echemus bounded by magical chains surrounded by cultist that is sapping away the power. We tried our best to kill the cultists and free the dragon however that is prove to be difficult as the tower is self-destructing which threw of Dug from the top. After couple of minutes, the tower crumbles although the dragon survive the impact with Herneldo from the party (which is a human that will meet Dug many time). After some names and words that is proven to be out of Dug small brain, it flew off.

A month go by and Dug was at the tavern asking him "Are you here for the quest?" which he just bluffed and say yes. Now, he is in a room with many humans signing this contract called N.D.A.. He don't know what that means however he know Herneldo is there and it seems dangerous from the way that the contractor talked about it, so he joined just to watch Herneldo demise. (He also just drew a pe**s on the N.D.A. because he doesn't have signature). Few days go by and the party arrived in a mining site and was equipped with couple of small expensive and tasked to investigate missing miners (During this time, Dug accidentally poison a water supply but his party member cure it using magics). Dug and the party went under and found rotting corpses and skeletons of the previous miners. They also found that the path deeper into cannot be light up trough normal mean so Arlin, the cleric cast sunlight to dispel and now we are fighting 5-6 feet insects (that is IMMUNE to poison) which were easily disposed off however the tortle wizard, Kaba did blew himself up with explosive and fireball trying to fend off those insects (he split up from the party early on). The party then looted the mining shaft of what's left, found more gems, more stones, more dead bodies, and convenient portal to shadowfell which Dug stick his head inside to see what's up. He just found another shaft that looks similar to this with funky color (didn't get punished yay). Everyone was cheering and some of them got invited by Arivata to join Protector of People (POTP); Dug was sad that he was not given one and got refused. One of the members of Ironhawks that were there also refuse to take the lovable murder hobo in. Hereafter, Dug left with D'kracilius and went to the church of Silent where killing is accepted.

Dug misdemeanor and adventures continue on when he received a letter of invitational from "The Baron" for a ghost extermination request (the letter was read by D'kracilius). Dug sure that the attendee is someone else but he went to "The Baron" mansion and found it to be undecorated even though Christmas is approaching. Consequently, Dug met with Herneldo again and they bicker before the butler arrived. On a turns of event, the butler seeing his master distressed and act weirdly after the death of his wife sent letters to adventurer. The baron heard about this and was fuming at his butler for taking unnecessary action but the tail of PoTP, Reylendor was able to convince the baron that what he servant did was right and the party is here to prove it (however, she also threatened him with wrath of POTP because his name commonly appear in shady dealings). The baron then reluctantly allowed the party to stay for the night. Dug confronted Reylendor about him being rejected by Arivata so Reylendor decided to bring Dug in to POTP after the quest ended (which is weird however Reylendor does owe her soul to Silent which might explained why he would ever got invited to the good guys table). The baron told the party that his nightmare had become more real as time goes on, he said a week ago, he saw the living room was engulfed in flames on midnight. The party did some scooby-doo murder mystery trying to find some clues but to no avail so they decided to camp-out for the night in the living room. Dug tried to sneak out from the party and try to sacrifice the baron wife ashes to Silent but he was caught by Reylendor who just turned a blind eye. Dug tried to sacrifice it however the soul already departed the realm. Midnight fell, the fireplace burn brighter, bones and metals started to clack from the wall and undead appeared. The party thwarted it off however it was too easy — Bam! A soldier riding a skeleton horse burst out from the fireplace ambushing the party. The horse separated from its owner and started attacking Dug (Dug cannot poisoned it) and the other handled the leader. The skeleton leader who was once a kid that the baron turned away during Christmas and left freezing outside in the snow died and is here for revenge. One after another, the party health depleted although trough broken combo of constant grapple and restrained on the boss, we are able to whittle it down. Yay, the party took a deep breath of relief before the living room started to burn in fire as fire elementals appeared (which are immune to poison damn it). The party barely keep their life together by constantly chugging potions and getting healed trough spells. Finally, we were able to take down all the fire elementals and the souls were put into rest. The baron came out from his sleep chamber during this commotion and saw all this horror. He was mad but suddenly a maiden soul formed on the air to comfort the baron (it was his wife). The wife told her that he should furnished the house with Christmas decoration because all of this happen because he disrespect the spirit of Christmas. We gain the baron favor and a lot of money. Before we leave, Reylendor invited Xander and Dug to PoTP which we accepted.

Xander and Dug went into the PoTP and Dug did not received a warm welcome there especially from Arivata. Dug did not hide his intent to kill off all humans however he learnt that some humans are cockroach like Herneldo are hard to kill and some humans like Xander is not a threat. Arivata finally caved in after Xander said that Dug should not be blamed for being racist because his family was killed and everyone would be terribly affected; putting Dug as the victim. Reylendor also said that sometimes to be the hero, we have to use some underhanded tactic and use fire against fire. Dug is now under watch and will try his best to follow the PoTP rule however he cannot promise it.

During Decemeber, Xander and Dug went on their first mission together becoming a sellsword for hire, a mercenary group who took task killing off bandits and if they are bandit of humans, they are on top of the priority list. Their name started to be known and Dug using the connection from people who hire him and just general intimidation tactics was able to find clues on who killed his tribe members: The Padlock Gang, The Kol Company, Skull Crusher Clan, The Ironfist, or The Silver Design.
