Havarast Stoneaxes

Havarast Stoneaxes is a Mountain Dwarf of noble descent. As the honour-bound nobleman he is, he feels compelled to take care of other people that have been given into his care. However, once you have crossed him, it will take a great deal to gain his trust and friendship again.

Appearance

Havarast is tall for a dwarf with his impressive height of 140cm. He has seen many things in his 249 years. This is shown in his weather-beaten, sunburnt face (or at least the part that is not covered with a thick beard or a ginger mane).

He is really cool

Death

Havarast died in battle, as every dwarven-warrior dreams of ever since he picks up his hammer, axe or sword for the first time.

For a better understanding, maybe also read what the others did while Havarast was busy dying.

---

As the party entered the Spider Queen's lair once again, nobody in the group suspected that not all of them would return to daylight. Yet two of the adventurers - among others Havarast - were never seen again afterwards.

When the party entered the ancient throne room - or what remained of it - Porof was instantly captivated by the crown on the late dwarven king's head. Time was kinder to Dane Ingonfoot's crown that it was to his body and it was still shiny as it was 500 - 600 years before, whereas the body was withered away.

Despite the protests of Havarast, Porof grabbed the crown of the King Ingonfoot and set it on his own head - a sacrilege by dwarven culture. This outrageous act of disrespect set Havarast off in a rage he had seldom known before, it was different than his 'normal' rages. This time, he seemed to be aided by Dane Ingonfoot and the entirety of his esteemed crown guard. Only with his entire mental strength, he could refrain from slaying his group ally there and then with his greatsword - the only punishment fit for this crime). The others did not see that inner struggle however. What they saw was a furious dwarf, frothing from his mouth, roaring incoherently at Porof before lunging himself at him with his bare hands. They also saw that Porof was way more agile than the enraged dwarf.

What followed was a wild tumble of the two former allies, one pummeling the other. This fight only ends once Porof is knocked unconscious (editors note: bin mer nüm ganz sicher öb öpper k.o. gschlage worde isch oder öb mer vorher ufghört hend...) and Havarast only then noticed that his party was actively trying not to die by yet another attack of the Spider Queen and her lackeys. The crown was all but forgotten and Havarast threw himself in the fight against yet another spider, secretly hoping for a second tête-à-tête with the Spider Queen. His wish came true, in a way. The Spider Queen did grant him a special amount of attention. Sadly, she was sitting some 50ft up the wall of the throne room and shooting arrows down at him.

Despite several revivals of the party, Havarast could not best the Spider Queen and was ultimately slain by one of her arrows, after he had run out of hand-axes to throw at her.

Did Havarast Stoneaxes die an honourable death in battle by trying to protect an ancient dwarven site? Undoubtedly. Was it enough to restore his lost honour of the lost battle at the beach? Only the Gods know...
