The first dwarf and the first cleric I ever played, he was great fun and became a great figure in Krynn. I give you: Therimith!
Much of this campaign has escaped my memory. I recall that Theremith and his party were brave and noble adventurers, questing through the world for reasons I can't quite remember.
For some notable deed, Therimith was awarded the powerful Stoneshield. It had the powers of one of the Bigby's Hands spells, usable offensively as a shield rush, or defensively as a barrier. He used this to save a silver dragon (and himself) from an avalanche once.
The greatest adventure (in other words, the only one I can remember!) was their infiltration of the ogre lair. Therimith climbed up a secret ladder which was known to enter the ogres' lair -- and discovered himself in a pot in the kitchen. The ogre chef, blaming fairies for the noises he heard, dumped a pot of boiling water on Therimith. Angered, Therimith leapt out of the pot when the chef's back was turned and retaliated in kind. The party quickly slaughtered the chef, making a lot of noise in the process, and realized that other ogres had heard them. Quickly they used a giant spoon to engineer a "Lard-a-Pult," and pelted the onrushing ogres with gobs of lard. The adventure ended with Therimith dumping 2000 marbles at the lair's entrance and recovering only 20. The DM described, in graphic terms, how the ogre population lost so many members to tripping injuries over the years that it dwindled to nothing. We all enjoyed that touch.
Therimith eventually found his way into 5th Age, the card game, where he was a renowned hero for his magical work. He also invented the 5th Age Flying Carpet... :)
