His most distinctive feature is his long, silver-white hair that he wears in an elaborate braided ponytail—a source of considerable personal pride that earned him the mocking nickname "Cloud Head." Dark war paint accentuates his fierce amber eyes and angular features, while his pointed ears bear multiple piercings that jingle when he moves. He typically wears ornate leather and metal armor decorated with intricate engravings, all meticulously maintained to showcase his self-perceived status. His weapons and gear are similarly ostentatious, polished to a shine and adorned with unnecessary but impressive flourishes. Currently, however, he's a shadow of his usual imposing self—pale, weakened, and confined to simple healing garments while recovering from severe internal injuries. # Personality Korrik embodies everything other Goliaths find irritating about tribal showoffs. He's narcissistic, boastful, and constantly seeks to prove his superiority through increasingly ridiculous challenges and claims. He views every conversation as an opportunity to highlight his own achievements while diminishing others', and he has an uncanny ability to make any situation about himself. His arrogance is matched only by his stubbornness—he refuses to back down from challenges even when common sense suggests otherwise. Despite his bravado, he's actually competent in combat and survival, though his skills are overshadowed by his insufferable attitude. His recent humiliation has left him bitter and suspicious, convinced that his "obvious superiority" makes him a target for lesser warriors' jealousy. > [!scratch] > ## Quirks & Mannerisms > - Constantly adjusts and preens his silver braid, treating it like a crown > - Name-drops his own "legendary" exploits in casual conversation > - Refers to himself in the third person when particularly worked up ("Korrik does not accept defeat!") > - Makes exaggerated gestures while speaking, as if performing for an audience > - Currently groans dramatically and loudly enough for the entire cave system to hear his suffering > > ## Background > Korrik comes from a respectable but unremarkable Goliath family within the Stormspine tribe. Desperate to distinguish himself, he's spent years cultivating an image of superiority through flashy equipment, boastful stories, and challenging others to contests he's rigged in his favor. While genuinely skilled, his attitude has earned him the disdain of most tribe members. He was notably absent from the siege due to being incapacitated by mysteriously tainted Stormspine Thunder ale, which he insists was sabotage by jealous rivals. > > ## Motivations & Goals > - To discover who sabotaged his drink and extract revenge > - To restore his reputation after the humiliation of missing the tribe's greatest victory > - To prove his superiority over the outsiders who helped reclaim Kael Dravak > - To convince others that his absence was due to treachery, not his own poor judgment > - To eventually challenge King Vauldir's leadership decisions (from a safe distance) > > ## Connections > - Universally disliked by most of the Stormspine tribe, including leadership > - Has a few younger Goliaths who are impressed by his boasting but wary of his attitude > - Suspects the party (correctly) of being involved in his current condition > - The tribal healer treating him drew the short straw and resents the assignment > - His family tolerates him but wishes he would mature > > ## Secrets > - Knows he was drugged but has no proof of who did it > - His bravado masks deep insecurity about never achieving anything truly significant > - He's actually afraid of the party members and their capabilities after witnessing their success > - Has been hoarding small treasures and supplies, planning to leave the tribe if his status doesn't improve > - His internal injuries are more severe than he admits, and he may never fully recover his former strength > > ## Voice Guide > Korrik speaks loudly and pompously, using grandiose language to describe mundane events. He frequently interrupts others to insert his own "superior" perspective and begins many sentences with "Obviously" or "As someone of my experience..." Currently, his voice is weakened and occasionally breaks into whimpers of pain, which he tries to cover with coughing. When angry or defensive, he becomes shrill and repetitive, and he has a habit of ending arguments by storming off while muttering threats he'll never follow through on. > [!scratch]- DM Notes > Text > > ```statblock >name: Korrik Stonefury, Goliath Hothead >size: Medium >type: humanoid >subtype: goliath >alignment: chaotic neutral >ac: 15 >hp: 55 >hit_dice: 6d10 + 18 >speed: 40 ft. >stats: [16, 15, 16, 8, 10, 12] >saves: > - str: 5 > - dex: 4 >skillsaves: > - athletics: 5 > - acrobatics: 4 > - intimidation: 3 >damage_resistances: cold >senses: passive Perception 10 >languages: Common, Giant >cr: 3 >traits: > - name: Stone's Endurance > desc: "When Korrik takes damage, he can use his reaction to roll a d12.
