A D&D Campaign World

Hipolet’s early life was not much different than most dwarves.  It was once he became an 'adult' that his problems started.  Things that he assumed would always be the same began to change.  Maybe the world just seems like a simpler place when you are young, or maybe the world is changing for the worse.  Whatever it was, Hipolet decided that he had had enough at an early age.

He cannot remember if it was a specific event or just a building sense that he wanted no part of the towns or people around him.  One day when he was in a particularly sullen mood he just packed whatever belongings he could carry and set out for the wilderness.  While difficult at first, he found that the solitude and the simplicity of life alone suited him.  He would spend decades alone except for the occasional woodland creature that he would befriend.  He interacted with his kind on only a limited basis and only when necessary.  He would make his way to town to trade in the animal furs that he collected when he needed supplies.

It was during this time that he honed his skills as a woodsman.  His current companion, and one true friend, is a wolf that he calls Chase.  On his most recent visit to town for trade he was hired to guide a party looking for a companion that was kidnapped.  Somehow, once this task was accomplished, he was convinced to continue on with the group and others.  It is not clear whether he does so to help the cause or for his own reasons.  Perhaps he hopes to rid the world of enough evil that he may someday return to a life of peace and solitude.

Hipolet fights with his head.  Unlike most Dwarves who would use theirs as a battering ram if it suited, he prefers to avoid pitched battles.  A well planned attack, from a distance, is more his style.  Years of hunting have led him to become very proficient with a bow and arrow and this is his weapon of choice.  His faithful companion Chase is usually an integral part of his tactics, proving himself time and again in his previous exploits.  After a recent encounter in which Chase was injured, he is now reluctant to put him in harms way unnecessarily.
