Ror Shawra

Ror Shawra, Adept of the Scroll LG Half-elven Cleric/Mage [Sam Bradford]: Ror was one of Sam's first real characters as an AD&D gamer and, like most new gamers (including Yours Truly), there were a few lessons Sam had to learn the hard way...

Having said that, I'll be the first to defend Sam's efforts with the half-elf. The classes he selected aren't the easiest to run by themselves, let alone together, and by the end of the campaign the Adept's player had made a competent and level-headed adventurer out of him!

Perhaps Ror's finest exploit was "doubling" for a long-dead elven cleric of renown, in order to avert a disastrous church/state schism and expose the evil seeping into the highest levels of elven society. His communications with the Companions uncertain at best, the Adept was able to keep even the dead priest's son from suspecting that something was wrong with his "father" come back from the dead.

A role-playing sampler:

In the early days of the campaign, the Companions were seeking employment as armed escort for a treasure caravan. The captain interviewed the group one at a time, and Ror, knowing that priests of his Order were thought of as bookworms and not sword-swingers, was a little careless in proving his worth...
Knowing that only his spells could get him a spot on the team, Ror chose spook—and used the captain himself as the subject of his demonstration. The officer made his save, and the next thing the others saw was the half-elf flying head-first through the office door and into the opposite wall. (The poor Adept endured the nickname "Spook Boy" for many months after that...)
In an assault upon the lair of a frost giant, the Companions were startled by the arrival of the giant's stable of polar bears. Thinking quickly, Ror managed to ensnare one of the largest in an animal friendship spell before the giant could whip the bears into a fighting frenzy. The sight of the cleric astride the placid bear's broad back did nothing for the giant's morale. Ride 'em, cowboy!
