BIO:
When asked about his past, Erky Timbers tells you that he is an illusionist and priest of the gnome god Baravar Cloakshadow, the god of gnome mages. He speaks the languages of common, kobold, goblin, and his gnome dialect. He was trained as a protector of his gnome village outside of the Cormyr region. He grew up learning how to fight goblins that were always attacking his village.
His instructors realized early on that he was good with magic and not the sword. So they taught him how to cast illusions against the goblins. He was very good, if he does say so himself. However, during one raid against the goblins, he was mortally wounded. His patrol found him dying and raced him back to the clerics for healing.
Erky says that while lying on the table in the temple, he had a vision from the god Baravar Cloakshadow. Baravar told him that he would not die because the god had a task for him. He was to go find the missing tome, 'Treasure of the Golden Hills.' The god told him that he must recover this important tome for his people.
So now Erky is a cleric/illusionist. He knows what his life's task is and feels it is his duty to inspire other gnomes about their gods. Although Baravar never told him where the tome could be found, he knows that Baravar will give him the knowledge he needs when Erky is ready for it. He was traveling to the town of Saltmarsh when he took the wrong road out of Oakhurst and got captured by the goblins.
Plans for Erky:
Erky should piss off just about any evangelical person out there
. If not, I didn't do something right. He is basically "born again" and has to tell everyone about it. Usually to the point of irratation (we all know someone like this). Although openminded enough to know humans aren't going to worship his god, they should at least worship a god.Erky has several banters and interjections already about gods, worship, and even his quest. What is his quest? Read his Bio, that is as far as I have gotten for now.
Banter example:
This takes place in one of the inns, Oakhurst, Saltmarsh, or MistMoor. Probably at Saltmarsh since this would match the banter.
Erky: Rurik, do you have any more tobacco?
Rurik: Funny you should mention that. I was just thinking a good pipe before bed would help me sleep.
Erky: It has been along time since I last enjoyed a good night's sleep at an inn.
Rurik: Hmmm, I would think so, stuck down in that hole with those vile creatures. Tell ya what, why don't we send the kids on to bed, so we can both enjoy a good pipe.
Erky: Sounds good to me. I'll go order us a round or two to help our thirst.
Rurik: Good, good. When ya get back, tell me about Baravar. I don't know much about him.
Erky: Gladly. In return, please tell me about Marhammor Duin, he is the one dwarven god I have never heard anyone talk about.
Rurik: Really? Well then we have much to discuss.
One of Erky's better moments (setting is the first meeting with the lizardmen, after their shaman recommends killing you):
Erky: I sense lots of hostility in this one. For a priest, you sure are hot-tempered. Have you thought about converting to a more peaceful god? You and I shou--
PC: Erky! This is no time for evangelism!
Lizardman Shaman: Praise Semuanya, I should slay that little one right now and eat him.
